this makes most GM's angry...why?

"THIS IS TOO OP!!!"

wow +1 to defence is WAAAAY TOO FUCKING MUCH

>>95986428 (OP)
GMs are almost always subhuman retards with too much time on their hands (imagine preparing to play a tabletop game).

>>95986428 (OP)
Modification of rules requires remembering of rules, which you won't do, as evidenced by this post.
>>95986446
Why are you so angry?

>>95986451

1+ to def isnt hard to remember unless youre legit retarded

>>95986458
Doesn't matter, you've already forgotten shield rules and are asking for exceptions.

>>95986463
what system and i know you're just trying to troll me by acting retarded

>>95986514
OP's system, whatever that is.

>>95986517

least i do is homebrew and no its not dnd

>>95986527
I think I know a bit more about your homebrew than you do, bub.

>>95986428 (OP)
>this
>+1 defence
What are you referring to?

>>95986517
Sounds 5E since you can't use a shield with a bow

However, you can in other systems

>>95986428 (OP)
HYTNPDND, OP?

>>95986428 (OP)
>holding bowstring to your cheek
what

>>95986428 (OP)
It sure seems the shield would have a hard time defending him, being completely open and off to the side like that.

Tell me you've never done archery without telling me you've never done archery

>>95987160
>Attacks are simultaneous
What system so I know to avoid it at all costs

>>95987282
TIL about anchoring I guess

>>95987335
OP's homebrew

>>95986428 (OP)
What? What makes GMs angry? A guy having a bow and a buckler? When has that ever happened?

>>95986428 (OP)
Every piece of equipment should have some kind of downside, or else why wouldn't the player just have it constantly? Use a buckler with a two-handed sword too, why not. Wear it while you're sleeping, or jerking off, too.
I get that it can be justified, but I just think the opportunity cost of not being able to use certain other equipment if you have a shield is just a good tradeoff.

don't bucklers give you a free hand normally? I know PF2E has a raise shield action too so I think those two things in tandem should cover it.

>>95987772
A radical GM would have a bevy of wrist-mounted contraptions that would be locked out by a buckler, such as a wand sheathe, grapple-gauntlet, hidden blade, etc. Otherwise, logistically the major thing a wrist-strapped small shield would inhibit is weapon-switching.

>>95988654
>You can wield the wrist buckler for a +1 to defense in exchange for a -1 to your combat checks!
>NO WHAT THE FUCK I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE MY CAKE AND EAT IT TOO
"Logistically" having that dumb bullshit strapped to your arm is going to impede your manual dexterity.

>>95987772
>Every piece of equipment should have some kind of downside
Just gate it behind a skill or background requirement. Using a buckler along with another weapon requires training and familiarity, and doesn't need to be something that everyone does universally, but rather can be favored by certain cultures/factions more than others.

This board is so diseased and dead.

>>95988828
I agree, dude.
I try. It just doesn't really work out.

>>95988828
/qst/ was a mistake

>>95988811
OP's homebrew doesn't work like that

>>95987335
You get that this is all abstraction, right?

>>95986428 (OP)
What game?

>>95988960
Yes, we should have genocided all questfags instead of contained them.

>>95989030
I see you have forgotten the cocksucker rule. It clearly states in OPs homebrew that when you suck as much cock as OP this is totally legit.

>>95988828
Yes, you don't belong here leave

>>95986428 (OP)
>wow +1 to defence is WAAAAY TOO FUCKING MUCH
Wow a +1 thats worth fighting the gm, rules, and setting over.

You probably complain rifts doesnt have any balance but want exceptions in your queer dnd game to make you tougher

This reminds me of 3.5e art

>>95986428 (OP)
Sure you can have it by taking a feat for it. Also you lose the shield bonus if you attack with a bow that turn, as you can't maneuver the shield and aim the bow at the same time.

>>95986951
Shields add +2 AC in 5E, not +1 defence.

Why do you type like a sassy, passive aggressive twitter tranny?

>>95988828
Sharty won, because /tg/ was already dead long before their attack

>>95987772
I thought the penalty was that you were using a buckler which was always going to be worse at shielding than a proper shield

>>95988795
reminds me of the anon arguing his one hand fighter should totally be allowed to fight with two-handed weapons or daggerheart where gm cannot destroy a pc's wheelchair unless everyone at the table agrees
