SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

5e and casting spells at melee range.

Quote from: Skyrock;786633There is also the 1 minute limitation. Guidance is useless for long-term actions like performance or information gathering.

In adventure situations (i.e. dungeon crawls), due to the concentration it has to compete with all other long term buff spells like Blessing or Mage Armor that give more mileage in actually critical situations.

I expect as soon as long term buffs come online Guidance will remain nice for the right skill use in the right situation, but nothing worth to sacrifice already running major buffs for.

Mage Armor is about the only buff that doesn't require concentration.

Quote from: jadrax;787779Giving that Jumping more than your move is a Strength (Athletics) check [p. 177], I am assuming that Running more than your move would be the same.

Yes, I use STR checks to get up to speed, and CON checks to sustain, just like 2e.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
