Idle Rolling: Anik the Ikwiikwii (5e)

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of 5e. Most of the games I run or play in are 3.5/Pathfinder, and I prefer the character customization options in those editions over 5e, which primarily focuses on class abilities rather than feats or items and thus leads to less customization options compared to 3.5 or Pathfinder.

Normal bows don’t have the reload speed of crossbows to deal with. They […]

I’ve played and GM’d other editions and other games on occasion, such as 5e and Savage Worlds, but I seem to always come back to Pathfinder. I think one of the main reasons for that is the fact that 3.5e, and Pathfinder in […]
