@CrashSable 4 года назад

People who talk about RaI are arrogant pricks, though. Who are they to claim they know the intentions of Crawford and Mearls (or even Gygax originally)? Because they've been reading Sage Advice? Sage Advice is for clarifications and is therefore RaW (except for when Mearls puts up something that is clearly wrong and contradictory to the RaW). At the end of the day RaW IS RaI, especially in 5e. The rules are pretty fucking simple - people only get confused because there are so many of them.

@MK-11111 4 года назад

@@CrashSable erm.. maybe it's because rules as intended is intentionally arbitrated by the pertinent judge of the session, who is the dm, since you cannot have the designers arbitrating at every single session. It's not arrogant to say that the intention is the interpretation of the appointed adjudicator. Otherwise, you're arguing that judges have no precedent. Case in point: who is Mike Mearls or Crawford to decide what's intentional at my table? It's arrogant to decide that what's best for you is best for all.

Good actor has to play an actor who terrible. Therefore showing his acting skills by playing a terrible actor. But what if he was a method actor. So he then would have to then become a terrible actor which then means he would be a great actor because he is not acting the part of a terrible actor because a terrible actor playing a terrible actor would be the worst but it's the worst because it would be too good. Which then meets the criteria of being terrible because he is not being terrible at acting even though he is.

@thanatos5150 4 года назад

@@CrashSable I wouldn't call Rule Zero actively hostile (Unless, of course, there's a bad GM actively weaponizing it), but rather a logical extension of the GM's rule as part referee and part storyteller, which makes them the final arbiter of rules-at-the-table. It's integral to TTRPGs running smoothly. Nothing kills a game faster than a GM stopping to look up/for a specific, niggling rule in a book (How much does crafting a staff cost, and how much does using a hand-crafted item lower the Object Resistance when playing as an artificer in Shadowrun...), rather than making an off-the-cuff ruling to keep the game flowing (Half the listed cost in the book to buy it, and by a rating equal to the number of net hits remaining after the Extended Test to make the staff, for example).

@LIscariot 4 года назад

Milestone experience is superior for long term games because it means the DM has tighter control over the flow and rise in power, which allows for easier balancing. A lot of "rules lawyer" types hate it tho because it means they can't powergame and get in extra fights to level up faster. That's the joke, those 3 things (fudged rolls, cinematic combat, milestones) are all great tools for DMs to make more interesting games but are considered "rule breaking" and "cheating" by players who only care about the game *as* a game and a set of rules in a book, and not as a collaborative experience.

@videogollumer 3 года назад

@@LIscariot Well, you have to admit, point progression experience does make gaining a level feel "earned". You feel like you worked for that level rather than having just jumped right to it just because the DM said so. It adds a sense of immersive realism to the game, if you ask me; but I guess it depends on whether you want realistic, cinematic, or a balance between the two.

@kolyadante1728 4 года назад

You can wield anything but if it's not a "weapon" item (armour spikes are not) you take a penalty to hit and with the additional penalties associated with dual wielding (assuming you aren't a dual wielding built fighter) you'd never hit anything. The better question is whether you can *throw* an improvised weapon, to which the answer is yes but good luck finding the book the rules for that are printed in.

So what is D&D&D&D's stance on the grappling rules? Or do require a specialist rules lawyer for that?

@billvolk4236 4 года назад

They seem to be playing 5e, which continues the 4e tradition of "freeze tag" grappling rules, which are a lot simpler and harder to exploit by design, if limited in scope. I'd love to hear their take on whether you can stand up from prone while grappled, though.

@Limrasson 4 года назад

@@billvolk4236 You are asking that because standing up from prone uses half your movement, and while grappled your movement is 0. But I think that your speed is still the same but your movement is reduced to 0 and you would need to use 15 feet of your movement to stand up. Which you can't.

@supersmily5811 4 года назад

Rules as intended actually breaks the game by limiting the options of the weakest characters in the game, the players. Rules as written don't allow automatic success, and you can decide that an option is impossible with RAW, since you set the DC of any given roll, and if you think it would be above 30 or break the rules you can deny them it.

@Nionivek 4 года назад

@@supersmily5811 Same time rules as written also helps to ground the players and lets them not only consider their options but get an idea of when something IS powerful (rules as written are a great jumping off point). There is a reason why the most popular tabletop RPGs have harder rules, and the ones with the softest tend to fade away.

@oz_jones 3 года назад

“It is the spirit of the game, not the letter of the rules which is important. Never hold to the letter written, nor allow some barracks room lawyer to force quotations from the rule books upon you, if it goes against the obvious intent of the game. As you hew the line with respect to conformity to major systems and uniformity of play in general, also be certain the game is mastered by you and not by your players. Within the broad parameters given in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons volumes, you are creator and final arbiter. By ordering things as they should be, the game as a whole first, you campaign next and your participants thereafter, you will be playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons as it was meant to be.” Dungeon Master’s Guide (page 230), Gary Gygax

@ChevaliersEmeraude 4 года назад

My DM is doing Milestone Experience. We've been playing for about 8 months now. We're level 3. Milestone experience isn't always great! Honestly it's the worst. Well, I guess it depends on how it's done, but at least experience points gives a way to accurately track your progress. With Milestone Experience your level is at the whim of the DM, and it's not always a good thing...

@petersenior5432 4 года назад

Plus if you make encounters specifically to level everyone up, meanwhile dividing that down so they all get an equal amount, they are going to die. A party of 4 level 1s needs 300 XP to go to level 2; Therefore they need to fight a 1200 XP battle to do that, which can come from 12 orcs. Or 120 Cr 0 animals! Just use milestone levelling and unconventional monsters, it's fine

@ChevaliersEmeraude 4 года назад

@Peter Senior then DON'T make one specific encounter to make characters level up! That's a ridiculous thing to do. Your players WILL level up eventually if they fight 1 orc 12 times, separately, as well! I've already pointed out why Milestone is the worst in my previous comment: Even if you fight 12 orcs you won't level up at all that way if the DM doesn't want you to.

@emeraldis3553 4 года назад

@@ChevaliersEmeraude If you've been playing for 8 months and have only gone up to level 3, that just means that either you don't play very often at all, or your DM is setting their milestones too far apart. I almost never start parties at level 1 unless everyone is new, and in that case it only takes two sessions max for them to get to level 2, and around 4-6 for them to get to level 3.

That's an excellent quote for newer players. I have seen and played in games run by the TSR old guard, and this is how they play. The DM is above the rules. If you have a DM who abuses that power, your issue is with a person, not the system. Before you start playing, you should have a DM that you trust with limitless power, and an understanding that the DM and the players want the same thing; a fun game.

@Hyperversum3 4 года назад

@@jef_3006 Too many people don't get that, sadly. You can rewrite all the rules you want, as long as you communicate and tell me what you are doing and why.

@@Swimavidly It was 100% intentional. The joke is that many amateurish directors (or cinematographers) don't consider such mundane things unless it's a really integral part of the story so they end up being all over the place.

Or at least remove the battery for the duration of the shoot.
