Ballistic Misfires

Bygamingballistic

Apologies for the hiatus. Things have been a bit nutso recently. What I can say:

  • I’m working on three secret projects. They are all pretty cool.
  • I still have roughly a half-dozen articles in the theoretical Pyramid queue, including some of what I think is my best work to date.
  • Technical Grappling, High-Tech, and Martial Arts will not, in fact, engage in a three-way death match should they be put next to each other. However, the authors might buy tickets to see it together should it happen. 
  • +Peter V. Dell’Orto‘s most popular post is still good advice
  • I still need to get crackin’ on a unified perception theory, but there was a spectacularly comprehensive forum post by +Sean Punch that might have made it superfluous.
  • I might actually play in a real game tomorrow! 
  • I might actually run Alien Menace Turkey Day week!
  • I might really, really need more sleep.
  • Sudden attacks of five-month-old sleeplessness on top of a crazed work schedule? No fun
  • My five year old daughter kicked serious butt in her tournament grappling match last Saturday. I was shocked to see her really wipe the floor with her partner. Go S!

That’s about it.

OK, we jump right back in, waking up in Phandelver with the town still intact, and us heading out to Tain via Highgarden Manor. We look to see if we could bring a few fast riders, that we could dispatch in case we need to send a “LOOK OUT, VIOLENCE” warning back to Phandelver. We…

Unearthed Arcana: Feats – Commentary

Bygamingballistic

The latest Unearthed Arcana came out recently, and its topic is Feats. Now, feats are interesting to me, especially in 5e. They’re supposed to be boosts, not taken in any particular order, roughly equivalent in value to the +2 to one stat or +1 to two stats that you eschew by taking one. This particular Unearthed Arcana…

Playing with DnD5 Characters – 6th level Battle Master Fighter

Bygamingballistic

This build is supposed to be identical to the Champion from yesterday, but with the Battle Master variant of the fighter instead of the Champion. The Battle Master’s schtick is “superiority dice,” of which you get four at 6th level, that can be spent on combat maneuvers. Many of these maneuvers are badass. Most of…
