  • I’m not sure it scratches the itch for you, but you can play Shogun: Total War this way. You can manually direct your army in battles if you want to, but it makes the game take waaay longer (and I usually do poorly). Or you just auto-calculate the results of the battle and you get back to farming resources and taking over your neighbor’s territory.



  • Not because they haven’t screwed people over yet, but because that’s a comparison of dndbeyond to pathfinder, not a product that sells digital Pathfinder source books. It’s comparing apples to oranges. As I mentioned in my first post, you can just buy physical books for dnd and the point is moot.

    Neutral paladin is just in it because his mom sent in the application to the temple and he was too lazy to find a different job. He just clocks in and clocks out each day to collect a paycheck. He takes a 10 minute break every 2hrs to smoke some weed which he refers to as “reflecting on God’s blessings”.

    Alternatively, I think maybe Hellboy is an example of Neutral Good paladin?







  • 5e is still balanced because of the opportunity cost. If you grab that 1 level in warlock, you’ll never get the level 20 perks of your main class. If you pick up that 1 warlock level when you’re around level 5 it means you’re postponing your next main class power spike by a whole level. The rewards have to be somewhat worth taking because of what you’re losing.

    And to be fair, none of the official campaigns even play at level 20. It may sound OP doing that much damage at will but you’re missing the context. Your enemies at level 20 are basically going to be literal gods. You’re going to be playing a homebrewed campaign. Your DM has many tools available to make your level 20 cantrip balanced, not least of which is just scaling up the enemy HP.
