I’m sorry y’all, but I’m gonna back out. The posting speed is just too slow for me to maintain interest. I wish y’all the best

@CajunRobinHood

Fair enough.
Thank you for your interest and for joining for a bit.
Happy gaming!

No need to be disappointed. The 14 is enough. Expect an IC post soon.

@rush99999

I'll get Cascade's post edited for her explanation soon. Sorry for the wait. ^^"

I am quite curious why there’s so much aversion to the updated rules. Nothing drastic changed, it’s mainly making definitions and descriptions more clear. Not trying to change y’all’s mind about playing, just trying to understand a mindset I keep coming across online but not with in-person players.

@CajunRobinHood

1) It's exactly because of the lack of drastic changes that the updated rules feel like a completely unnecessary reinvention of the wheel. The changes to the rules also throw confusion to those who have already memorized the rules for 2014 D&D 5e. If WotC is going to make a new D&D system, why don't they go all the way to make D&D 6e, instead of butchering 5e when it's already great? Not to mention, players already have their home-brew rules to help with 5e if any table feels like something is lacking.

2) I really do not like how they changed the Classes' Level Ups by making everyone choose their subclass at Level 3. They completely betrayed their own logic on how the classes work in a game mechanics and narrative sense all for the sake of standardization.

Having the clerics, warlocks, sorcerers choose who their patron, deity's domain, and their bloodline magic at third level makes no sense. Sure, it could work in a narrative where said characters don't know, but that narrative can still be achieved with the classes' subclasses being chosen at Level 1. By making the characters choose at Level 3, they've essentially pigeon-holed those characters into that particular narrative.

3) This reinvention of the wheel feels more like an arbitrary cash grab after a series of mess-ups on WotC/Hasbro's part. Not to mention, I still haven't forgotten how they tried to revoke the OGL. The links to videos about said incident are still in my signature. I am not willing to reward them for their behavior leading up to the creation of 2024 Rules.

@CajunRobinHood Well, I'll have to bow out, then. I A.) don't have access to the rules for D&D 5.5 and B.) purposefully don't have access because I don't like the changes they made to the system from original 5e.

Best of luck, and let me know if you decide to go with a different edition.

@Necroes

@CajunRobinHood I will have to bow out as well, because of the same reasons.

Best of luck and I wish you Happy Gaming! ^_^

Daggerheart: The Witherwild

My own contributions to the Daggerheart Incorrect Quotes

Arnannel: I have a bad feeling about this...
Dimple: What do you mean?
Arnannel: Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going to get into trouble?
Dimple: No?
Pepper: That actually explains so much.

Capriccio: I am darkness. I am an power. I am your worst nightmare. I could kill a man in more ways than you can imagine. I am the night. I am fury, I am a weapon, I am-
Arnannel: A doll.
Pepper: A cinnamon roll.
Dimple: A sweetheart.
Capriccio:
Capriccio: ...stop it.

Dimple: While you were caught up in your heterosexuality, I studied the way of the blade!

Capriccio: If you get in trouble, I'm gonna be like... a lawyer to you. Ok?
Dimple: Okay.
*later*
Pepper: Dimple! Sit down on the chair, you're in trouble.
Capriccio, whispering: Deny everything.
Dimple, loudly: That isn't a chair.

Arnannel: I can't take you seriously wearing that.
Capriccio: Aw, you take me seriously at all?
Arnannel: Fair point.

Arnannel: Dimple told me to stop being immature, so I told them to get out of my fort.

Dimple: Yeah, I don’t like people.
Pepper: Oh, well now that’s not fair Dimple. Have you met all of them?
Dimple: I’ve met enough of them. People. What a bunch of bastards!

Capriccio: Arnannel, don’t go picking a fight with Pepper. Don’t forget, they’re powerful, they could make life difficult for you.
Arnannel: Wow, I wonder what it'd be like to have a difficult life.

Capriccio: Dammit, you ruin everything!
Dimple: You're welcome.

Capriccio: Why is there blood everywhere?
Arnannel: I may have aggressively poked someone with a knife.
Capriccio: You stabbed someone?!
Arnannel: No, no. I aggressively poked someone with a knife.

Feel free to do so.

@rush99999

Thank you!

@LostDestiny Cascade is giving Aura her inspiration.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

Don't be too hard on yourself, Cascade does have an Intelligence of 9.

@rush99999

....This feels like a social gaffe though.
And Cascade has an 18 Charisma, while my IRL self has Charisma as the Dump Stat. -_-"

<Snipped quote by rush99999>

Ill use that then. Ill roll in one moment.

Not great... 13 persuasion but okay I guess.

@LostDestiny

@rush99999 Can I give my Inspiration to Aura to give her the Advantage?

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

Of course.
Children don't enjoy being yelled at by grown-ups. This child in particular finds it rather scary. Tolomeo is also relatively new to Zephyr, so he doesn't know Cascade as well as the other villagers. Factor all this in with the fact that children aren't known for thinking logically, and you’ve got yourself a child who would very much rather swiftly leave the vicinity of the scary shouter than answer questions or give up the first reliable source of warmth he's had for a while.

@rush99999

Fair point. -_-"

@Lurking Krog @LostDestiny

As a result of Cascade's outburst, both of you will be needing to make Persuasion checks with disadvantage.

@rush99999

....Can I ask why?
Wouldn't the villagers know her well enough Cascade wouldn't have made that outburst under normal circumstances, but does so in serious situations?
