I just like making characters and then feeling out how they react to various situations
Rip in piss
f
i wish i had an online D&D/stuff group
i like making characters and then both actually roleplaying, but also playing their mechanics
that would be neat
it's ok
i run a PF1e group
with 4 players in it
and play in a 5e group (running a 2e module the DM adapted to 5e: the gates of firestorm peak) that started with shadowrun 5e (but the DM burned out, and started to prep degenesis)
and we're pretty much playing 5e to pass the time until he feels ready to run degenesis
as much as i hate 5e for being an unambitious system that forces you to pretty much play your character as an icon of their class
it's been pretty ok playing as a half-elf swords bard which i've literally only selected illusion and enchantment spells with
if not mostly because i get to use my favorite magic schools (even if they fucking murdered/cut some of my favorite spells; rest in peace shadow evocation and phantasmal killer)
and the DM is good, and the story is interesting
I used Phantasmal Killer on a wraith once
It was rad
what system though 🤔
Pathfinder, not sure what edition
what year
then 1e lol
Well then yeah
1e
Cause it was years ago
technically speaking, that shouldn't have been allowed
Indeed
The GM wasn't on the ball at that point in time
Spawned a wraith as a fuck you spooky moment for the party
And I just yeeted it with a spell that shouldn't have yeeted it
it can be fun or be a neat moment if not all rules apply sometimes
theatric, rather
i mostly play pathfinder with my group with spheres of power/might, ultimate psionics, and few other supplements
Well the thing about the rules, is that if it doesn't break the game to get rid of it, and the rule is actually getting in the way of people having fun, it should be fine to be bent a little or gotten rid of
yea
not all rules are good to enforce
and it's pretty much best to have the rules serve your group rather than your group serve the rules
Exactly
without making the game unplayable or to a point that it's not even a game
There should be enough to make it so that they don't do things like blow up the sun or whatnot
But not obstructive where they die of dysentery because a rat brushed up against them while they slept or whatever
