I just introduced my group to DC20 and in that process I made some test characters, with one being a gnome/fiendborn being basically a little poison imp with wings. The character creation is a huge thing for what made me want to try DC20 with all of its awesome choices and the relative simplicity of it all. Look forward to seeing the flavor added with backgrounds and such. Thank you for all the great work so far! ❤

"All spellcasters have 6 mana, all martials have 1 stamina....then there's a Spell Blade." What?!?! You can't just drop that with no other context! Details, my guy. Details!! Haha. Seriously, keep up the amazing work you're doing! The system you're constructing right now is something that solves almost all of my concerns about the current D&D system in place, and the fact that you're earning enough to work on it full-time means I know the finished product is going to be spectacular.

@@TheDungeonCoach Will there be a "spellblade" or gish type of class in the final product? Something close to the Bladesinger Wizard, but it's own class?

@@TheDungeonCoach And another question: Standard array is +3, +1, 0, and -2. Point buy method says you start with -2 in all attributes and get 12 points to add anywhere, up to the attribute max for level 1, which is +3. Point buy actually puts your stats higher than standard array, because with 12 points, it takes 5 to get one attribute to +3, 3 points to get another to +1, and 2 points to get another to 0, and leave the last attribute at -2. That still leaves 2 points to spend wherever you want. Would it make it more even if you only had 10 points to spend? That way, standard array is equal to point buy, the same way in D&D, standard array is the same distribution of points as if you did point buy. Any thoughts on reducing point buy spending from 12 to 10?

My one and only (minor) criticism of DC20 is that "spirit", "presence"(like Daggerheart) or "aura" would work better flavourwise than "charisma". That would leave a more broader interpretation for character traits and also make a bit more sense as your prime attribute in terms of both martial and spellcaster classes.

As a long time D&D player, this sounds awesome. I hope you also have an easy mode character making process to onboard newer players. Premades are very good for that, and fewer decisions are good as well. Perhaps having a simple character creation and a more advanced character creation process to choose from. Analysis paralysis will be a thing with too many choices for players new to the genre.

Hi Coach! Love all your guides to make DC20 more approachable for us. Would you consider a little change in character sheet and add to "phisical defence" place to write down shield and defence with shield. It would be faster for players to know their defence when for example they loose/throw shield in battle.

I would strongly recommend NOT using the roll method for stats in DC20. I tested it, and it and the results are wildly swingy. My advice: Normally, use standard array in DC20. If you are using the "Prime Cap" variant rule, use points buy in DC20.

Hey dungeon coach, I love your new system. Luckily I was able to convince my d&d group to try the alpha for a one shot, so i am very excited. Controversial thought, what if you lose all the instances of the word point in regards to mana points, stamina points, action points. In my humble opinion it would feel more streamlined and less gamey. Just a thought. How much mana do you have left? This maneuver costs 2 stamina.

With the ancestries rules, my character in a recent 5e campaign was a zealot barbarian who was slowly transforming into a celestial (her goddess periodically gets cut into pieces by her followers and the pieces are scattered, whichever of her followers collects the most pieces becomes her new avatar).

First of all, congrats on your successful project. I will definitely check it out. We can never have enough systems to play with.😂 Your DC20 seems very much inspired by Level Up Advanced 5th Edition, which happens to be the best D&D version I've GMed by far. None of my players wants to go back. Every class has been reworked, and all martial classes have access to maneuvers. Not to mention you choose your ancestry, with their gift. Then your culture, background, and destiny. Teamwork is rewarded, nothing is overpowered, and they have an extra class called the Martial, which is a support non casting class. Keep it up.

Kind of feel the languages should have 3 instead of 2. Broken, conversational, and fluent. Fluent is going to be required for things like reading ancient tomes written in the language; 2 is going to be enough skill in the language to have a normal conversation with a person fluent in the language, 1 is the broken kind of understand version of knowing a language.

I am 110% for more system options in the hobbyspace as well as toppling the particular entitled giant in the playground. In good faith, though, what I'm worried about with DC20 is that during the process of simplifying and removing legacy messes, you seem to have added _different_ bothersome complications along the way. "Pending legacy messes," if you'll forgive my gentle cynicism. You guys have a small team but a lot of steam so more power to you. May you not become the next monster to defeat down the road. :)

@kymaeraa8631 18 күн бұрын

I'm curious. Which bothersome complications do you mean?

@ZenArkayne 18 күн бұрын

@@kymaeraa8631 :) A very fair question. Right now DC20 seems extremely concerned with pointing out the (valid!) flaws in D&D5 and saying "we simplified that bit." Sounds great in principle! Generate a list of common grievances, figure out a way to streamline or bypass them, hype and profit! But it's still making its own new weirdness. Here's an example you were asking for: I like combining Strength and Constitution into Might. Makes sense. Why ditch Wisdom, though? That stat has its own distinct identity from Intelligence and Charisma. Was it to create a 2/2 symmetry between physical and mental stats? Why not combine Intelligence and Wisdom into "Wit" or similar? But then this Prime attribute abstraction is put in as an attempt to skip over any multiclassing stat complications and we're sort of back to six attributes anyway. Not exactly a simplification then as much as a trade-off. Also my muscle wizard is somehow using his six pack for better perception rolls. What? That's where they really started to lose me. I could go on but I truly don't want to disrespect the effort that's been put in here. At minimum the marketing savvy has been very impressive. I'm honestly happy that people are still enthusiastic about new stuff in the oversaturated market. I just don't want the hopeful glamour of a "D&D killer" to wear off and then people will end up frustrated with DC20 for all new reasons, y'know?

@kymaeraa8631 18 күн бұрын

@@ZenArkayne "Mind" would definitely work as a better term for what they're going with than "intelligence". I think might as a prime attribute on spellcasters works a lot better if you think about it differently. Instead of muscles, try thinking about it in terms of magical might. The caster is brimming with pure overflowing magical power coursing through their body and uses that to enhance their senses, physical prowess and spell power. In this way you could even have a scrawny old man wizard that can punch like a gorilla through their magic reinforcement

@@kymaeraa8631 Oh, definitely, you can narratively justify anything. That part isn't a problem; I appreciate the flavor flexibility. It's cool to offload part of the creative process to the players so they'll feel more invested and satisfied. Buff wizards, nerdy barbarians, charming druids... 20% dwarf/10% orc/20% halfling... weird options but _someone_ will want them so yay I guess. But then you've opened the door even wider for bizarre combos for DMs to endure. Sure, a DM can always say "No, that's ridiculous no matter how you spin it" but that generates other problems too. Blargh. Sorry about coming off as a downer. Maybe this open beta will help them vet the system into something less sophomoric. Fingers crossed. :)

How is d20 numbers less confusing than d10? D10 systems have less to none base numbers to add into hit points, stamina, mana.

I’ve nothing against systems that go in different directions, I just think this development process is also hella neat.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting it, but the way explained doesn’t sit well with me when it comes to choosing another ancestry trait from any ancestry if you’ve chosen to play a single ancestry and it not be linked to your actual ancestry. I can see it being believable if you’ve grown up your whole life believing you’re one ancestry and later through the story of the game discover you actually have another within you as well. But to say you’re a dwarf and then randomly decide “I want this really cool angle born thing just because” doesn’t make sense to me.

why would mind control be charisma based and not intelligence based if intelligence "Effects the Brain?"

@Ixarus6713 23 күн бұрын

Oh my god. I just thought of an amazing interaction.. So two players who can cast magic gain the same spell, but it costs 2 Mana... 😤😤😤 BUT WAIT! They both cast the spell together, using only 1 Mana each! And are thus able to cast a 2 Mana spell at level 1... MUHAHAHA!! I'M A GENIUS!!!! 😂😂😂

I think the versatility of the race options is wicked cool! But I'm not satisfied with the fact that the bonus for picking one race is to choose a another racial feature later... I feel like that kind of ruins the narrative for the racial choice. Idk

Is this its own d20 system or is based off of 5e or 2024 rules??

@fyreman666 Ай бұрын

It's its own thing with inspiration from various other systems in some aspects.

I have to wonder why Tactics isnt an official skill. It seems like it would be quite useful in many situations.

Forgive my bluntness, but the whole "use any attribute for any class" idea is stupid. No HEMA or MMA champion got where they were because of their IQ.

Strong suggestions that I would probably enforce regardless: Remove occultism as a skill. In a fantasy world, all beliefs are basically equal religion so I can't imagine what would be "occult" about people worshiping one *very real* thing over another *very real* thing. IE, "I worship fish people that walk out of the water once per year" vs "I worship a god that speaks to 50 clerics an hour" are equally valid "religions" because both are real in this fantasy world. If you want to have a religion be more obscure (occult) just impose a higher DC/SP. Also, remove the "blank skills" under knowledge. As a DM, I will *never* memorize my players' write-in skills and many players will either forget they wrote something or try to write the most abusive general skill they can ("I have a skill in 'fire' and how it acts and how to control it") Don't put the +3 skills by knowledge. Players love skills and they will just build INT (thanks to the PRIME skill factor) a vast majority of the time. Instead, just give 3 points that players can allocate to either skills, health, or physical/mental defenses.

Its a "skill" not a superpower. Why would u let them write it down when it is clearly defined what a "skill" is? U make your players sound like 5 yr olds. Obviously u don't need to remember everything the player will be checking their sheet as they will be doing regardless, who the hell remembers if they had a +6 in stealth when they're asked? Or u could just quickly ask if they have a relevant skill. Sounds to me like u might. need a numberless/mathless system if it's that big an issue or it's really a communication issue at your table. Tons of systems like World of Darkness or GURPS have blank skills and they work perfectly fine

Dude. Blacksmithing is not governed by might. Why do people think blacksmiths have to have muscles. You have to KNOW how to forge metal. You don't even have to hit things with a hammer that hard. The weight of the hammer falling alone is enough. If you slammed the hammer down each time you would destroy your arm. Any craft skill should have Intelligence simply for knowing how to do it, and if you want to add Might for flavor then make it Might or Intelligence.

I really hope you have a real multi classing system, or even better, A classless option. the lack of real multi classing is why I cant play pathfinder. I love SO much of what you are doing, and I hope you consider my request.

@CaylorBratcher Ай бұрын

The way multi-classing works is at second level and higher levels each class gets access to talents. Talents are basically feats and allow you to pull from a general list of talents, or you can grab a single class feature from another class. An example, you are a barbarian and love the idea of casting spells while raging on the battlefield. With your talent, you can grab spellcasting from any class. You would gain one mana, one or two spells and some cantrips.

@damenevans Ай бұрын

I get that, but that's not real multi-classing. That's PF2 style "multi classing" which I detest. I want to be able to refine my character into essentially a unique class, and limited access to feat, spells, abilities etc. via feats at predefined levels is not that. PF 2 got really close to a classless system, but messed it up by having each class have it's own list of feats. I want a generic list of melee feats, stealth feats, magic feats that have raw spell casting or melee skills as prerequisites. Then I could build exactly the sort of character I want, one feat at a time. The old gama world rules in polyhedron magazine had just a single class that got a feat every level, and you could use that to build whatever archetype you wanted to. My dream scenario for dc20 is a full classes system, with "archetype leveling guides" that present a path to a particular concept like druid or barbarian, which you can either follow, or diverge from at every level up

You have forgotten step 11: Jump to level 3, because the subclass is an important part the backstory and I want to play my fully realised character idea from the start.

@FabulousJejmaze Ай бұрын

That's a stupid argument because you can always add more to your character's backstory. Why not start at level 5? Why not 10? Starting at level 1 just means you start earlier in your character's story.

@PadanGedowitch Ай бұрын

It's not about level, but about story. If my PC comes from a ninja school in a ninja village shouldn't he start with some ninja techniques? If he grew up among ooze tamers shouldn't he have a ooze companion from the start? But this stupid 3rd level subclass nonsenss forces the start from level 3 to stay true to my idea. Why do you think all other systems give the subclass at level 1?

@GlenFinney Ай бұрын

@@PadanGedowitchI don’t think all start subclass at 1st, and in DC20 there’s so many options and ability at 1st level you can build most any fantasy archetype already at 1st level. The subclass is most often just the icing on your character!

@dwgautier Ай бұрын

Or... just RP your JOURNEY to that subclass and EARN those powers through game play. You disserve nothing as a player, your player growth will be so much stronger if you enjoy and ADD to the story.

@PadanGedowitch Ай бұрын

If subclasses are so insignificant why even have them? Just put all their features in one table to choose from at every other level. Would allow even more individuality.
