one of my players has a broken leg and they are stuck in the middle of the forest. should healing spells be able to heal broken bone? or healing potions for that matter? or do they need more powerful magic, or something else? @Dust @galesteppes

magical healing mends bones

frfr?

hmmm

is potions magic healing?

yeah

I'm not saying it's right

but RAW magical healing basically fixes everything lol

hmmmmm

actual loss of limb would be handled differently

yes that I know. requires pretty darn strong magic

but hmm

I wanted this to be a cumbersome problme

obvious solution would be to fix the broken bone but give dex and str damage

not just something they can fix at a whim, there should be stakes at play

ohhh thats smart

10ft less movement speed maybe

cuz atm their idea is to maybe give him a makeshift splint, and I'll half his speed and give him disadvantage on dexterity checks until they get to the big city

yeah that sounds pretty good

hmmm yes that could be good

I forget 5e has advantage

yesss

its a pretty homebrew game tbh. there are some things I detest with 5e, like the skills.

pathfinder and 3,5 handle skills sooooo much better

so yeah disadvantage on all dex rolls and half speed until a week of rest or something

yes that could be good

lol bro 4e was a huge fuckin mess

never played it

just heard horror stories on how bad the game is ahahahahahah

4e was my first ever d&d experience

I thought about adding shit like sub skills into 5e. kinda revamp how skills work rn

skill specialisation is a cool concept

say you had blade weapons with subtype heavy

yeah. that was what I really liked about 3.5

oh yeah weapon spec is also cool

I have a concept idea working with my mate based on a homebrew pdf we found

specialise into blade (heavy) and you get a bonus (or don't get a negative) for that subtype but you can still use other blades

cuz like, someone who uses swords all day every day, why the fuck could they use a trident?

someone who uses a greatsword, how the fuck could they know how to effectivally use a rapier?

that shit

yeah
