Thanks for the feedback!

Has anyone read the Unearthed Arcana for bastions? Is it good?

Make this a level 15 ability for fighters and then emigrate so that the caster inquisition won‘t crucify you for doing it

Rules option for DnD 5E, specifically for legendary and mythical monsters that tend to be the ones with the most HP:

'Attacks from legendary or mythical monsters hit automatically if they require an attack roll and the effects of the attack would not give the target a condition. Legendary resistances of monsters can only be used against effects that can be assigned to the spell schools abjuration, illusion, transformation or enchantment. Otherwise, monsters can still use their Legendary Resistance to pass saving throws against any effect that would give the monster one or more conditions. In case of doubt, the DM decides. After a monster has used Legendary Resistance, its movement rate is halved until the end of its next turn. The damage caused by the monster’s attacks that require attack rolls is also halved until the end of the monster’s next turn after using Legendary Resistance.

(These rules can ensure that battles are both shorter and more exciting due to the higher damage dealt by both sides. The battles also become more dangerous, making PCs think twice about taking the risk. Creativity is encouraged when considering alternative strategies for conflict resolution. Both ensure that there will be fewer battles overall, which remain the most time-consuming scenes in the game. The increased risk also makes combat itself more creative when searching for ways to damage the enemy or use the environment for a tactical advantage. It also encourages the player characters to improve their supply of healing options, e.g. through the help of NPCs that can cast healing spells.)’

Scribbled together based on this post and its comments as well as some additional ideas I’ve had.

EDIT: Fixed something that got lost in automatic translation.

Similar development with my group. I’ve come to enjoy RPing a lot more than combat, which actually takes us much more time to calculate with all the higher-level abilities than improvising NPCs on the spot. But I know fighting will still be inevitable in the future, so we’re blending in some rules from Worlds Without Number and home-brew to speed it up in the future.

You actually write out your music, even record it? Sellout! Disgrace to our Lord Stan!

Wait, wrong subgenre

Freudian slip.

• Faelys: go get the prettiest red dress you can find
• Mystery: spill some red fire ants in the head waiter’s bed and take their place for the best service during the date
• Sand: indefinitely borrow a golden engagement ring with a set ruby for if the date should go especially well
• Toron: set up an escape horse with red dyed fur at the backdoor for if the date should get the tiniest bit uncomfortable (red fur for safety in town traffic)

Depends. (Dunno if your DM plans to use them in your campaign, so spoilers?)

Enough of boring rules-talk; Konsi‘s a smart (wise) goblin. She‘ll know that she just has to hug Maybe-Razira hard enough. If it‘s a shapechanger, they‘ll pop back into their true form under the force of the mighty squeeze.

Excited for the next part! Really looking forward to seeing your posts everyday. 😊

“If I had just one WISH, I’d WISH that all gold and weapons I could WISH for would vanish vanWISH from shops nearby and appear before my feet to fulfill my dreams and WISHES. WISH that would work.”

My players are about to hit level 17 sometime soon, send help

Had the idea to do something similar with my group, then rejected the idea because I feared that this would become annoying for them over time. Did the chicken work out long-term at your table without causing annoyance?

Not-thought-through 1 Minute Solution #2: Using the one higher die for Martial Arts from the class table (always d6 instead of d4, d8 instead of d6 etc.)
