I feel like that would get boring after a while. Have you talked to your DM about it? -Mark

Okay, no, they're not "small and easy to hide" but longer than/as heavy as longswords? Very, very rarely. I mean, sure, the longest and heaviest rapier may compare to the shortest and lightest of longswords, but the averages don't skew that way at all. If they did, the way rapiers are fought with (largely single-handed with an extended arm) would be utterly exhausting.

Average weight of a Longsword, 3.5 lbs according to Google. Average weight of a Rapier, 2.2 lbs according to Google. So a rapier is about 2/3 the weight of a longsword. It is longer, and has most of the weight at the hilt making it quicker in the tip. www.thearma.org/essays/weights.htm

longer than longswords -_-

There are Human sized rapiers, and Halfling sized Rapiers.

Welcome! We've got plenty!

a Rapier and longsword are nothing alike

Yeah, no one wants to play a crap score character, for sure.

Glad it helped! How's the adventure going? -Mark

Thanks :)

ME TOO! ^_^

^^^^ THIS!

YASSS!!!! =^_^=

i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

@Zachariah Forrest instablaster :)

@Pedro Dylan Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Pedro Dylan it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account !

@Zachariah Forrest no problem xD

I don't know... I've seen plenty of 8's and 9's rolled. -Mark

I've had some PRETTY BAD rolls in my day, lol. I'd say its the risk you take.. can be super great results and it can be totally terrible! Just happened to be rolling good this day :)

Your right it is a risk, just rolled a character with 3 8’s eeek had to swallow my own words there

Jk I'm not that mad but disappointed *mom voice*

And you you would get a +4 on Dex and +3 on Char and Cons. Which is also gives more profs and charm resist. And great synergy with multiclassing as Bard as well.

Could also be a tabaxi

Noted for future reference. That's how I visualized it for some reason!

I definitely think so!

Heh one mate rolled for strength, and of the 4d6 all were 6. Boom 18

I have a rouge right now with his lowest stat at like 10 (strength) and has 20 dex at level 1 (Rolled an 18 and he is a wood elf so +2)

I guess if a DM is an idiot. Point buy just leads to more min/maxing and focusing on the numbers.

I'd say it depends a lot on the players and the GM. Some groups are perfectly fine playing a LotR-like group with a huge disparity of power between the strongest (Gandalf) and the weakest (Merry and Pippin). Some groups don't mind playing scenarios where, say, one of the PCs is a royal diplomat (who is neither a spellcaster nor a martial, just an aristocrat with high charisma), while other PCs are his bodyguards, for example. Other groups don't enjoy imbalance and in those cases it might be best if everyone agrees to use point buy or stat array.

@@jaknife99 - or I mean, it's totally valid. Rolling for stats is even pushed away in the PHB, it causes too many problems. You get one guy with hot dice out of the party, and suddenly you have to target them directly in ways that nullify the character: "Yeah Mike, I know it's the 15th time this week, but the Goblins *just happen* to be on the other side of a 30ft chasm, shooting bows at your Barbarian. I know, AGAIN." OR You have to up the challenge so that 'Mike' doesn't just mop the floors with every encounter you put in front of the party. The problem then becomes: If Mike rolls like crap or is absent, the rest of the party is doomed. If the party Rogue goes to fight the enemy meant to deal with Mike, and that enemy lands a hit, the damage is ugly (2d8 is nothing to Mike with his 20 Con at Lvl1, but it will almost certainly paste the Rogue's average rolls) It's just so much better to use Point Buy, or, if you don't like Min-Maxed characters and math, use Standard Arrays.

Perfectly fine to use which ever method you want to use please extend that right to everybody else. OP is a myth on rolled characters odds are against you to roll the perfect character of all 18`s , or an 18 at all for that matter. I have only seen an all 18`s character rolled once in 40 years of playing. Drizzt has an absolutely ludicrous dexterity due to personal ability , and 2 bracers of speed which he wears around his ankles. Regis is a legendary character with many years of experience behind him estimated level 12th when you first run into him.

LOL! Love that name! :D

That's fair. We felt this one was pretty strong at the end of the day while not being min-maxed.

Yeah, I'm running the new "Curse of Strahd" Ravenloft module for my group and the party consists of 3 humans, 2 half-elves and 1 elf -- which has resulted in them missing out on some pretty interesting stuff, since the module contains some fun "Easter Eggs" for Halflings, Gnomes & Dwarves and some great social/roleplaying bits for Tieflings, Dragonborn and even Half-Orcs. Maybe I'm just prejudiced (I always play the smaller races), but a party of normally-sized, normally-featured people feels...empty...somehow.

You all may like our new character, maybe...

Eeeeeeeexcellent.

yaas :)

Remind me never to get on that gnome's bad side. -Mark

What archetype did you pick? Any level dips. I'm a Rogue 2/fighter 1 and trying to decide on my archetype.

17 Meowsitution 18 Purrception 12 Arcanatuna 9000 cuteness!!!

Hey Brandon! You tend to know things, so hear this. My friend went for an Armiger (it's a homebrew class) and we rolled for stats. Str 18, dex 12 con 19, int 12 wis 12 cha 10. That's pretty funky for a level 3 character. Should we nerf, reroll, balance idk. or keep it that way for the sake of fairness?

+AnoAssassin I'm in a group that did something pretty interesting. We had one guy roll even more ridiculously well than Kristen did here. Another guy rolled garbage. So our high roller just gave some of his points to the other guy when the DM ok'ed it. Talk about team building!

Iffy Wizardry Well that's a fun way to do it :D. After consulting our group I decided that we can leave his stats like they are, as no one thought it was unfair in any way. I just realized that I'll never be able to watch a live stream of DoE because it'll be like 3 AM here when it starts, and boy I ain't staying up for that ^^'

with point buy you can be op as well. ex. human 14 14 14 14 14 11. legit with standard human and point buy.shh its a bard lol

John Garvey Um, how can you get numbers that high with point buy??

I just recently made a glamour bard for Rusted Heart and while I haven't gotten to play much I like how glamour has these abilities that can help buff the team or weaken the enemy. -Mark

The Weirdlings yeah thanks for the confirmation. My halfling is a boyscout and his mother is a glamour bard, so I thought I would dip 3-6 levels at least and use what she taught me in homeschool.

That sounds pretttttty awesome

racist :p

Thanks! Sorry about the music. We'll keep it down in the future. -Mark

No, text is silent

/blush

:s *blush* *shy finger *

Errol Drommond What is happening

She is all kinds of gorgeous!

Sorry you don't like rolling. We just prefer to roll to add variety and force role-playing a little more. We just ended up with good rolls and a good character, hence the OP Rogue. Hope you find what you're looking for. -Mark
