One thing to remember with the lower enhancement bonuses is that AC is generally pretty low in 5e.

Also with the lower attack bonuses, +3 is a lot higher comparatively than a +5 weapon in 3.5.

He's doing the industry a justice by calling out trash companies like Larian. And we've been shit talking Larian for a lot longer than February.

You guys are single-handedly taking down Larian and the bad guys in the industry. Keep up the good work, we stand behind you!

Go get wrecked by corona chan,frog!

I think I already got it, so that's not going to work

Spoiler

I hope...

I read that corona chan is not satisfied with only one pegging,she enjoys to fuck people repetitively,especially kwanzanians and italians.

Sorry to interrupt you lovebirds, but how does base attack progression work in 5th edition ?
I assume its different, given that +3 on a weapon is considered a large bonus.

From quick skim i take it, that BAB is replaced by proficiency bonus, which caps out
at +6 at lvl 20. And extra attacks are not tied to the proficiency bonus but a class
feature. It looks like thiefs and mages no longer get extra attacks, is that right ?

5E extremely simplifies bonuses and progressions: you no longer have an attack bonus and various saves bonuses, instead you have a single bonus (called proficiency) that goes from +2 at level 1 to a maximum of +6 at level 17. Everytime you roll to do something, if you are "proficient" in wathever you are trying to do, you add your proficiency bonus to the relevant ability bonus for that task.

Characters' abilities are capped at 20 (which gives a +5 bonus) and there are very few ways of getting higher scores (very few means just two or three in the entire game).

Another important thing to know is that there are very few ways to get a bonus on your roll (a couple of spells and class features), so usually your maximum bonus on any given roll can't exceed +11.

Yeah, to make additional attacks you need the Extra Attack class feature.

However, spellcasters have a sort of "inherent extra attack", because their cantrips do more damage depending on their class level.

No retarded item scaling sounds promising. If only there was a similar strict rule set

At least he sources his shit memes. It's like a quick start guide to being an unoriginal. If I ever decide to fully embrace being a complete idiot I'll know exactly how to do it.

It's not only about the scaling. Like already mentioned, D&D features scaling in the sense that the items increase in their numbers, the important part is they don't scale infinitely and they don't scale every level (or to the players' levels in general), unlike D:OS1 and 2. They also aren't prefix sword of suffix like the filler parts of hack and slashers or MMOs. Swen doesn't seem to get that there are fixed items in those games, just the way you get them is random (or from bosses with a bigger loot list than drops). While in an RPG, items are considered a part of the world, so you can't find a hyped up item of lore from a random goblin or barrel in a village.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them just steal jewels from ancient statues' eyes.

5e is a garbage system with no difference between classes and no variety. I'm cool with artifact level weapons being as rare as they should be, but everything is being dumbed down for the sake of retards. Proficiency bonus is unforgivably generic and all-encompassing and high levels feel no different than low levels. Things are too even across the board. Even if Larian had a good demo of the game instead of an utterly trash one, which they don't, it still wouldn't redeem the edition they are using.

Mythic Odysseys of Theros is upping the complexity and diversity of builds in 5e.

In Theros you also pick Supernatural Gifts (which act kind of like a second race, but different), a piety System where the God grants you benifits and powers depending on how pleased with you they are, and 3 Mythic Monsters that sound wicked awesome and create a more cinematic battles. That is why I'm still buying the book even though I'm in a pissy mood since getting banned from Enworld.

Anyways I think BG3 will have ways to spice 5e up too, like the Tadpole skill tree.

5E extremely simplifies bonuses and progressions: you no longer have an attack bonus and various saves bonuses, instead you have a single bonus (called proficiency) that goes from +2 at level 1 to a maximum of +6 at level 17. Everytime you roll to do something, if you are "proficient" in wathever you are trying to do, you add your proficiency bonus to the relevant ability bonus for that task.

Characters' abilities are capped at 20 (which gives a +5 bonus) and there are very few ways of getting higher scores (very few means just two or three in the entire game).

Another important thing to know is that there are very few ways to get a bonus on your roll (a couple of spells and class features), so usually your maximum bonus on any given roll can't exceed +11.

Which is boring, stupid as hell, and kills all sense of diversity and power progression.

It is back to AD&D, in other words, and the "good" old days of MUDs.

This is perfect for the MMO generation. I can't think of a better way to bring WoW on to paper.

mmorpg are extremely bloated games as combat rules not simplified at all.
Mmorpg theoricrafing require multiple maths fomulae.

the tabletop closer to mmo bloat is pathfinder.


5e is the tabletop rpg born when people stopped to care about gear treadmill in ttrpg and staking stuff on top of stuff fir get a +75.

mmorpg are pretty much dead, mmorpg generation was 10-20 years ago.

Literally 600 of those are from my stalker mass rating every one of my posts. I see you've started stalking me too. User0001 took a lot more work to get him worked up. Something about you Larian TBers makes for real degenerates.
