Relic

Which is why ill probably never buy another laptop again. Once my current one dies im just going to get something like the ASUS ROG Ally.

why not turn your steamdeck into a PC? get yourself a docking station and a nice monitor and you're set

He was on that Wildcats team that won the title along with Brunson, Hart, and DiVincenzo, he's quite literally the perfect fit.

We're going after Bridges

Well duh, but rookie contracts don't count in this convo. If they did the top 50 contracts would be first four years in the league ones.

Nice idea, but i was long asleep. However, watching the game this morning i just want to say that hearing the Boston crowd moan and groan in consternation is one of the sweetest sounds in basketball. Sweet sweet lament! Brunson = best contract in the NBA. It took 20 years but something good finally happened to us!

I like it, but i think if you're playing with an experienced group something like that should be PC driven. DM has enough work on their hands haha. But if a PC knows what they want to do with their next level up than working on it before they get it is something i would certainly allow in almost every single circumstance as a DM. The more RP around player abilities the better =)

I quite enjoyed 1883 and 1923, way more so than the few episodes of Yellowstone I've watched. 1883 is pretty brutal, 1923 is a bit campier in certain moments but also extremely melancholic in others. Both are miles ahead of OG Yellowstone imho.

Maybe the solution is to really expand levels, from 20 to 50 or something. That way sometimes all you gain is a hit die, sometimes skill points, sometimes saving throws, sometimes new abilities, but not all at once.

you're right, this is a pretty huge issue. whats the solution?

Those are some options, but not quite what I meant. I do a lot of secondary objective stuff in combat that requires skill rolls, positioning, defensive strategy,moving from point a to point b, extraction, survive 8 rounds, and blah blah. My Eberron world has hacking , as well, with its own card based mini game and stuff that comes into play in many combats. I've never had a martial complain about lack of combat options. That said, we don't play lvl 15+ stuff, but I remember it from older editions where spellcasters were incredibly op.

Nope. Spell levels and pc levels are two different things, much to the confusion of new players.

::Shrug Our table is fine with combat options. I give ayers unique level ups based on their rp, and we homebrew enough magical items to make sure that everyone always has some to do in combat. It's the skill stuff that I find lacking. Ymmv. I get that casters have more to do in combat at high levels, potentially, but this game is about so much more than that. And a dm should include challenges that enable everyone to do something, combat should almost never just be a "kill all the bads" scenario. That's my take, as someone who has dmed hundreds of hours of dnd since covid, at least.

Battlemaster, Echo Knight, Arcane Trickster, Ancestral Guardian, Blade Singer, Artificers and Paladins beg to differ. 5e has a ton of options for combat, it's the RP elements that are lacking imho

4e had some great ideas, especially skills challenges. https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-L3dYW-IFahTdYhpPtyH A fair bit of the resistance to it had to do with the people spending hundreds of dollars on 3rd edition, only to have it replaced with 3.5 (which was great but bloated) just a few years later. So having 4e come along 5 years after 3.5 was just a bad idea.
