Aaaah, yeah. They removed a lot of the peripheral classes in 5th edition. So nothing really like that anymore. But I might be able to homebrew it, if my DM allows it.

On the other hand, a lot of those telekinetics and stuff are now kinda covered by the monk way of the elements specialisation. Which gives stuff equivalent to force push, pull, grab etc. What I need is something to "beef up" the character's combat resilience, and allow him to use martial weapons.

Ouch, 3.5 or go home.

Jokes aside heard, 5 isn't garbage, but my long time GM dude said that 5 just isn't worth it until they add more stuff.

Delora Filth · Dec 30, 2016

It's a bit barebones, yeah. But that's kinda the charm of it. Really reminiscent of older, "cleaner" versions like AD&D. Just without all the convoluted peripheral rules for stuff like mounted combat, spellcasting and *shivers* grappling. I was sceptical too when my current group started up and everyone were on 5th since I "grew up" playing 2nd and 3.5th ed. But I really like it. And have had loads of fun with it the last couple of years. Thing is, you can do a lot of the same stuff with it, you just have to accept that there aren't specific rules for a lot of stuff anymore. Like prestige classes. You can still make an Eldritch Knight. But in reality that just means multiclassing a fighter and a sorcerer, or wizard. And so forth. In reality it gives you a lot more flexibility. And it's a lot more conducive to actual character roleplaying than rule-monsters like 3.5 were. And.... best of all. And I feel like I'm saying this every time 5th is mentioned. NO ALIGNMENT RESTRICTIONS! \o/

We've mostly stuck to Ebberon so alignment issues were never as big of a deal (Ebberon is like the logical version of D&D).

Delora Filth · Dec 30, 2016

I know. I've read a lot of the stuff you sent me.

Even so. Playing a C/N paladin in Forgotten Realms is awesome!

Pallies are also a lot of fun to play, mechanically and stuff, when you aren't forced to be a haughty ****.

Úlfheðinn · Dec 30, 2016

I forget the order, but there's an interesting order in Ebberon centering on paladins/clerics killing both good and evil characters that threaten the balance. Essentially they are the Grey Jedi of the setting. :lol:

Had to ask Gamma:

Cooooool!

Would any of you be interested in playing a Star Wars WEG 1e D6 RPG?

Delora Filth · Jan 22, 2017

Possibly. Don't know much about it to be honest.

Dystopian · Jan 22, 2017

Whats the plot?

It's a super simple system. The character creation is fairly easy.

Plot would probably freelancers during the early part of the Empire.

Dystopian · Jan 24, 2017

Freelance smugglers, yargh! Post Order 66 besides the Old Republic is the best timeline.

We all know how these ideas end in the Tavern. :shifty:

Delora Filth · Jan 24, 2017

Sounds cool. Bit like a stripped down "Edge of the Empire"?

Yeah, about ish.

I will be using a few homebrew things. (I've been a GM for this system for a while.) One of them being is ignoring the Dark Side rules. (You get enough Dark Side points, you turn to the Dark Side, and the character becomes a NPC villain. The player then makes a new character.)

Lord Tim · Jan 26, 2017

So I've been lurking.

What RP's are there still running?
Would anyone be up for a M&B: Warband RP sometime soon?
I've been out for a while, but I want back in.

Dystopian · Jan 26, 2017

My name was Draco Wrath when you came here last.

Lord Tim · Jan 26, 2017

Ah yes, I remember you as the guy that invented gunpowder during the stone age in that worldbuilding project. :lol:

Dystopian · Jan 26, 2017

I was at least 12 and at most 14, don't judge me. I am much more intelligent now I hope.

Last I checked Ulf had a Warband RP going still. If a tad stagnant at the moment.

Cool! So I can be a total scumbag and not get booted. Nice!

It's sort of on a permanent break... :lol:

I'm not adverse to anyone else stepping in to fill the void, I'm basically traveling every weekend until mid-March (hooray research funding), so I don't think GMing is in the cards right now (although if someone has a cool idea, I'm happy to support with a character).
