Here's the DMG text, page 278:quote:Big monsters typically wield oversized weapons that deal extra dice of damage on a hit. Double the weapon dice if the creature is Large, triple the weapon dice if it's Huge, and quadruple the weapon dice if it's Gargantuan. For example, a Huge giant wielding an appropriately sized greataxe deals 3d12 slashing damage (plus its Strength bonus), instead of the normal 1d12.

Yeah, reach is common on > Medium creatures, but it's not ubiquitous and there doesn't seem to be a rule about it. Same with more damage. Enlarge can make you (and your weapons) grow 1 size category, which gives you advantage on strength checks and saves,but doesn't extend your reach. Your weapons don't do double damage either, it's only +1d4. As far as Centaurs go, they've still got human upper bodies and arms, so I'm not sure why a size L PC centaur would have to get extra reach without a reach weapon.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I agree and would probably rule in favor, just because more options for scaling damage are cool and I like the sound of a big dude with a really big sword and if you think 2d12 is crazy, have you seen what a wizard can do??? I would say they can if they make it past a strength threshold. Maybe like 15 to use a one handed large weapon as a two handed weapon, and 17 to use large weapons normally. And I would say any race with the powerful build trait can do it. (Which would put Orcs more on part with Half Orcs.) AlphaDog posted:Yeah, reach is common on > Medium creatures, but it's not ubiquitous and there doesn't seem to be a rule about it. Same with more damage. Well the monster manual version does not get that. So you are right I doubt a L PC centaur would ether. Although the increase in reach for a monster seems to come from being huge not from being large. Most weapon using huge monsters like giants have 10 ft reach, while the large things like Ogres have 5 ft. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 01:19 on May 15, 2018 |

I stated earlier that Centaurs and Driders were exceptions due to their human sized Torsos. I am not even arguing with you here, I was was saying the Monster Manual Centaur does not get extra reach, so I agreed with you that a large PC version would not get extra reach or damage. Also the Pike is a reach weapon.

It's why no races playable races are large by default. That can't be the reason playable centaurs have to be M, because centaurs don't get extra reach.

Why do so few racial attacks scale. Surely a minotaur with 13 levels of xp has used his headbutt a few times?

Subjunctive posted:What do their torsos have to do with hoof attacks? Nothing. But the hooves seem to do 1d6 damage each just done at the same time. I see it done for a few other monsters. Were instead of having individual "claw" attacks like some monsters, they just attack with their "claws" which does an extra die of damage.

Subjunctive posted:Right, but only 5ft range. Weren’t you talking about range as a consequence of size? Once you get to Huge attacks with weapons tend to get a 10 ft reach. At large it is few and far between with most ranges still being 5 ft. There are exceptions with the long limbed creatures. But the average looks to be Medium and Large tend to have 5ft reaches, Huge and Gargantuan average 10 ft. (Though there are very few gargantuan creatures that don't have a wide assortment of limbs with varying reaches.) MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 03:54 on May 15, 2018 |

Artisan’s stuff is neat, but expect error margins on at least the numbers to be higher than you might expect, and expect it to take an unknowable amount of time. They just partially fulfilled a friend’s Kickstarter backer reward from 5 years ago. That said, I like my Jack Daniels barrel dice.

I'd believe that. Everyone I know that makes niche stuff with weird materials has constant supply and production issues. That said, my own experience with that company was that my stuff arrived without quality issues and in the time I expected from reading their FAQ.

Go to a Gem shop and buy some semi precious stone d6s for fantasy. Then buy a new coffee table because you actually used them. For Sci Fi buy a funky retro case for your phone and ask your Google Assist/Siri/Cortana to roll X Y sided dice(3 10 sided, etc.)

Any ideas to spice up the flameskull encounter in the mines of LMoP?

So one of the things that always bugged me with trying to "re-import" the Healing Surge system into 5e was that I could never find a satisfying way to figure out how many Healing Surges a character should have, which is supposed to be based on your class and Con mod, but does not increase with levels. I finally got it: You have Healing Surges equal to half the maximum value of your class's hit die, plus your Constitution modifier. So a Fighter with 14/+2 Con would have [5+2] = 7 Healing Surges A Wizard with 12/+1 Con would have [3+1] = 4 Healing Surges and so on The rules for this would be about the same: * remove the Healing Hit Dice mechanics entirely * your Healing Surge Value is 25% of your maximum HP, rounded down * whenever you're hit with a healing effect, you gain the HP from that like you normally would, plus an amount equal to your Healing Surge Value, and then you lose one Healing Surge * whenever you take a Short Rest, you can spend as many Healing Surges you want * if you have zero Healing Surges, you cannot gain any more HP from healing effects * whenever you take a Long Rest, you regain all your Healing Surges

Might want to exempt a few things like Lay on Hands, and tag Cure Light Wounds as consuming either the caster or castee's surges.

Splicer posted:Multiclassing Maybe pull the 13th Age trick wherein Fighters, Rangers, Barbarians, and Paladins count as "Skilled Warriors" in terms of multiclassing. But where that game applies that term for the purposes of weapon damage dice here you would impose a penalty for people that mix caster and martial classes. So a Bard/Fighter wouldn't have a full Surge load, but a Fighter would he able to dip Rogue for Expertise or Barb for Reckless Attack without digging into their Surge Value. *obviously I'm talking about the spirit of the 13A rule. I think Rogues were excluded from the Skilled Warrior list but I would include them here, for instance.

The DM eventually turned his shifter ranger into Wolverine and gave him 1hp/round regen. Also armblades. He left his ranger companion wolverine alone in a locked room for like a week while we did something diplomatic (he forgot he had a pet), so the dm had him do some animal handling to get his companion back. Not serious, just for narrative reasons. He proceeded to lose a fight vs his own companion and the rest of us calmed it down. It would have been gamebreaking if it was anybody else, buuuuut...

A couple of sessions+levels later (when a fireball wasn't likely to one-shot them), I made it explode his backpack and scatter all his stuff all over the ground.

Last night, after two years off we finally played the last session of the first 5e game we started. It went quickly and there was some deus ex machina involved but we completed our quest cleanly and ended on a huge cliffhanger. Maybe we'll never go back but at least it's done.
