I’m not making fun of you I just thought it was a funny word :) Also, sorry about your butt.

The DM gave him an OP magic item to compensate for his crappy build

Your worn items just kind of morph into your body when you wildshape. You don’t have to strip naked to go from humanoid to animal, for instance.

Magic is rare in most settings.

RAW that wouldn’t do anything though.

I don’t really go on other networks, is there drama about .ml?

If you don’t want to do a one-shot, I still recommend keeping it short. 3-5 sessions perhaps. Just to dip a toe in and even out the kinks, and be able to feel good that you completed something. Decide if you want to commit to a big sprawling campaign after the first little demo campaign.

Pretty terrible movie, all things considered, but it does have a very satisfying ending.

For sure! And that scarcity of resources and failing supply chains is a GREAT setting for questing!

A couple thoughts occur:

• If you wanted to justify big cities in wildernesses, you could use the prevalence of monsters to do so. Say it’s just too dangerous to have small villages, and everyone has to spend the night in a walled town/city for their own safety.
• I’m pondering how magic could effect this, too. You might have a whole Town in this ecosystem replaced by just a single wizard, who’s willing to magic up complex tools or luxuries in exchange for an exorbitant payment from the peasants.
• A lot of fantasy settings are lowkey post-apocalyptic, inspired by the Dark Ages and/or The Black Death. You may encounter isolated Villages that are struggling to scrape by as their Town got wiped off the map, or isolated Cities crammed full of starving refugees that fled their Villages.

Could you elaborate? How do their healing systems work? What makes them good?

Do you have a system you like where healing is a good idea? I’m a 3.5 native so I’m kind of used to the philosophy of “the best healing is killing them before you take damage.” But I’m interested in systems design in general and if there’s a particularly good example of doing it better I’d love to learn about it.

I know y’all are talking about like, buying a wish spell, but y’all make it sound like the mom hired a magic gigolo XD

Now you’ve inspired me. I should make a character who’s 1 level in sorcerer, the rest in wizard, and the premise is that they set out to prove everyone wrong that they’re not just going to rely on their inborn talents and they’re ready to do the work!

Really? I actually think it’s one of the strengths of 5e. In 3.5 you just have negative hitpoints down to -10, and that doesn’t scale with level or anything so it’s barely relevant after the first few levels. And it’s nice to not be just DRT when you get downed in combat.

You slightly moved the goalposts there. The assertion is not “Everything is making a political statement” it’s “Everything is political.” Your ikea glass reflects your social class, the international relations between where you are and where it was made. It may have been made by an oppressed person in some third world shithole (or even sweden!) It may even be a political statement, like a designer somewhere made it curvy because he thinks people are more likely to buy something with a “feminine” silhouette.
