Hail Sylvian, now we just need some penitence armor and a legally distinct soul edge

Assurance: Medicine precludes the need to roll altogether, and honestly is a near-mandatory pick for the tabletime it saves. You might save a little in-universe time by manually rolling with a high modifier, but unless your campaign is running at breakneck pacing, the difference isn't worth the real time spent. Recall Knowledge checks with medicine are the only reason I'd want to manually roll, and Anatomy Lore covers a huge swathe of that subject anyway.

All that to say, ehhhh its probably fine to brew up that Medicine->Anatomy Lore feat. I wouldnt reccomend doing something similar for any other skills though.

no, i mean more empowered to interact with the game world. They have more agency in more arenas of play. You can play a goober of any class and have fun, i agree, but a goober who picks a "better" class will be able to create more comedies of errors beyond "Player fails to hit thing with a big stick".

That's actually my biggest criticism of D&D. Bards are better choices than rogues or fighters or wizards. Same goes with clerics or druids. sprinkle on a bit of paladin, a couple feats, and some magic gauntlets, and they can invalidate whole swathes of staple fantasy archetypes entirely.

When your team decided to be all damage dealers and nobody put a point into recon skills / spells

gold + silver alloy.

Origins and the Awakening expansion. The rest are just kind of bad to play, imo. Not to say you wont enjoy the experience, I just think they're unfun.

oh for sure. Of course, my parents were straight up negligent so it wasnt hard for the internet to win that competition.

Id like to axe suits and from the wardrobe entirely and see what new things pop up. They're boring.

Id take robes too. Feels so much better than pants in summer.

advertisements. They're gross and i don't like when people try to sell me things in my own house.

whichever side is facing the door.
