D&D STAT MODS MODS

I'm setting them aside for the same reason that I'd rather not make the mods changes the fundamental system math too much. I've looked at both previously and I like them, but I would be rewriting a LOT more of the system to properly integrate those methods. Also, good points about Ars Magica and M&M. Good points about human, I forgot about needing to retool that. I do NOT want to tell the player to double their mod, add ten, then use that number for the check.

D&D STAT MODS HOW TO

So far no one has commented on how to elegantly convert the checks that use the full score instead of the mod, and that's actually one of the parts I'm most curious about. The fewer numbers on the sheet, the less playtime will be devoted to this. There's always a few stumbles when I ask for ability checks, uncertainty about whether to use the score or the mod, when to add proficiency bonus, etc. The reason I'm thinking about it is that I regularly have a couple new players and also a couple players who really don't think about the game in between sessions. You're going to be doing a bunch of converting either way.Well, all homebrew does this to a certain extent. Especially since you now have to sell it to all the other players and explain your methods to them. You could certainly do this, I'm just not sure it does anything except frontload the 'pointless busywork'. I love your idea, but it would change the traditional aspects of the game and since you're not getting paid for it, its not worth your time. What I would like to see, is dexterity to hit and strength for damage, but it will never happen is D&D. For someone with an 8 in dexterity they may be flabby even if they have a high strength score. Dexterity to me is aim, balance, hand eye-coordination and muscle tone.

Many people are sad when they have an 8 in strength, most people probably have an 8 in strength. I'm sure most people will tell you I have a 6 in charisma. 8 in constitution in a medieval setting may kill you, an 8 in present time, most people probably have that in reality. With SPBI enforced at some tables, which I use but do not like because it forces people to follow cookie cutter options for optimizing characters, you may well end with an 8 in ability score and say 'I've dumped intelligence.' But an 8 is a medieval setting in intelligence is probably just right. If someone is sad about an 8 in a stat, I simply say 8 is the new 10.

Because of bounded accuracy, you can survive, though not advised, with just a 16 in the ability score of you main offensive stat and take a feat first. Ability scores just lead to the modifier, it doesn't replace the modifier.ДЄ 20 in an ability is just +5 to the ability modifier.
