I've heard very little good things about it. It did give us short rests in 5e which I love.

Combat always takes a long time especially at high levels. Pathfinder 2e and DnD 5e are both on the long side but not as long as PF1e and DnD 3.5e. Both have an increase in combat duration at higher levels. There's just not options and more complex monsters.

If you want to make combat to go faster there's a few different ways to do so. I recommend doing morale rolls for enemies to cause them to flee if they fail. Also better player management about whose turn is up and what they want to do. (A short recap about whose next can help if you don't have a visible turn order). Talk with you players about what kind of combat and what they enjoy will help.

I always wanted to have to play a Hedgewitch who had a broad magic with a large number of first level spells and breaks some of the rules of magic. Its a Land Druid 2, Divination Wizard 2, Life Cleric 1, Land Druid 3+. The idea is he has heavy armor, wizard, cleric and druid spells which allows him to do lots of different types of magic with multiple ritual casting spells. With all of the subclass features he will be better at getting spells back from short rests, better healing from each spell, divination dice and the most flexible spell slots.

I think it would be fun as either the only magic user or as a backup magic user to fill all needs and niches.

Got to love a Fake Wizard. I wanted to play one who was a wizarding student who was grandfathered into a wizard school (literally his grandfather founded the school) who got expelled for messing up so bad he almost destroyed the entire school. The accident would have bound him to a celestial somehow which is why he is a scourge Aassimar and Zealot barbarian. He has these powers he doesn't know where they are coming from and are slowly changing him into something less human and more divine.

He would of course still have a quarterstaff, wearing school robes, have a arcane sigil on his shield and be convinced he is a new type of wizard. He would have cantrips and some magic but doesn't understand how or why.

This is the saddest thing I've read in a long time. A nice man's life was ruined by terrible people on the internet. In a just world bubba could have lived his life in peace in the way he was made without being attacked by assholes online.

This really shows the difference between Christians who go to church like Bubba and act like Jesus actually would and the "Christians" at 1819 who attack those who are different.

I loved when older editions had barbarians needed to be illiterate unless they took a feat. No books just RAGE!!!

My current campaign we run a salt business. It's a very serious business

Nothing funnier when hearing the players come up with the right solution right away and then immediately dismissing it.

I saw that. Hopefully that is a true energy return and not some marketing 80%. Cool if true

Interesting idea in its simplicity. If they can get large returns of energy close to batteries that would be worthwhile especially if using only local easy to obtain materials. What a cool system

I've always wanted to play Cypher in the Numenera system. I have been using the Cypher items in my dnd game but I wanted to use the whole system

I know that for gay marriage and acceptance there's been some studies that having gay characters in TV helped shape public perception. I think the study was around people watching Will and Grace and Modern Family and their acceptance of gay marriage.

It's kind of beautiful that watching imaginary characters can make such a emotional impact since we bond with this "people". That's why representation on mass media is so important especially since most people won't meet a trans person in real life since they are a small percentage of the population. Especially if they are talking about their own life.
