Oh, gods. Not Far Cry 5 references! Everyone is loving it: The kids, Shiro, Shiro's son, NobodysWife.
It holds 0 appeal to me.
I try to play it a bit just to make a little progress so when people want me to play with them I can, but I consider it the most unfun game I've been stuck playing in quite a while.
I just don't like first-person shooters. Never have. Never will.

Gotta love Impus Major:
NobodysHome: So, Impus Major. Today's your birthday. But your mom is out tonight, so we'll have to do your birthday dinner another night.
Impus Major: OK.
NH: So, what do you want?
IM: Oh, definitely the Himalayan place.
NH: Oh, OK. Do you want it delivered, or do you want to eat there?
IM: Definitely delivered!
NH: Well, gee. I guess we *can* do your birthday dinner tonight,then!

If you're talking about me/Henderson, it was not a FC5 reference, just a reference to the original Henderson story. I am likewise not a FPS fan.

Ah, OK.
Well, the "plot" of FC5 is basically that you need to exterminate a bunch of cultists in rural Montana. They even have their own "faith music".
And of course Impus Major downloaded the soundtrack and put it on the other day.
*SIGH*

Introducing The Extraordinaire, D&Dish's answer to the rogue, the ranger's monster-hunter shtick, and other fighty-skillmonkey concepts. All of its combat features proc on a skill check, either directly or indirectly.
Similarly to the fighter, the extraordinaire chooses one skill to 'specialize' in, but can swap specialties with 8 hours of practice. So there's quite a bit of flexibility to avoid the "Whelp, I'm a feint-master and we're fighting lots of animals and mindless undead, so I'm useless this adventure" problem.
Not sure how the extraordinaire will be balance-wise, as skill bonuses will diverge as levels increase. Not as much as in 3.x, but still.
Okay this is just a quick look through, but here's a couple of first read through thoughts.
1. I like the base lay out and idea behind of the Extraordinaire. Taking bit of the Ranger and Rogue and mashing them together seem to work wonders in most cases (just look at the Slayer).
Though a small part of me will miss the particular combination of abilities that is the Ranger.
2. While Extraordinary Tactics is a great idea, I'm a bit of two mind if what you have presented here is a bit much of a mouthful for a single class.
2a. Backstab: I don't really have a problem with how you're going about it here. Limiting it to less applicable situations might be a bitte pill to swallow, but if that can be tinkered with either trough other Skill, Abilities or even Spells its livable. As for a bonus dmg = lvl, it seems a tad low but its hard to judge without proper context (ie play testing).
2b. Favored Enemy: Looks great, no grumblings here.
2c. Feint: Not really a fan of making what was a combat manoeuvre into a class locked special ability. Stuff like this really should be less powerful, but ultimately feat-based. This is about the most of a grumble you'll get out of me :P.
2d. Skirmish: Its okay I guess. It been one of those feature that's been played around with before, but is often locked down by the inability to move + full-attack. But as I sense you'll be moving away from that, it can work.
My question though would be how it would work with a "Shot-on-the-Run archery build"...
2e. Warcry: The ability looks and feels great. Though I still have a bit of a beef with it. It just doesn't sit right with me for a Skill-based/Precision-based/Dungeoneering type to be screaming into the faces of their opponents to scare them shitless.
Though It might be a perfect little addition to either the Fighter or Berserk class *Wink-wink, Nodge-nodge*
Side-note:
Please ask into anything if you have any difficulty understanding my points. I'm very scatter-brained when in game-analysis mode, with my writing often lagging far behind my thinking, so things can come across as weirdly unfinished :P.

I'm pretty good at FPS, don't like them generally, besides mostly running around in FPS mode for Fallout and Skyrim.
Never played any Far Cry games, doesn't look very fun.

I try to practice live and let live but it's a little hard with the J part of my nature. Keep wanting to haul people to court.Hmmm,,,,
*The proverbial campfire appear over Kjeldorn's head*
*Begin drawing up plans for a portable alignment detector - consisting of A mort tied to a stick, with which you prod people. The amount of hissing from the Mort-On-A-Stick, combine with the amount of scratch marks and court summons on/given to the person prodded determines their alignment*
...And when I got back home, I went into pigeon pose to stretch out that knee....
Meh.
Wide Legged Forward Bend (and C +D) though... :P
Not to start an alignment thread on FaWtL, but that's why I always despise the idea that "Evil PCs need fun stuff, too!"Being good is hard. It deserves some perks.
Well it does have perks.
Peace of mind, The respect of your neighbors and a deep sense of community.For those on the other side...these thing are more valuable, and more elusive, then anything else.

Yup, safety first applies to everything. :-)I got heat stroke once, it was scary as heck. Glad you are OK, CY, and please be careful.My plan for today at 9:30 this morning: Work until 5 pm.
My plan for today at 2pm: Work until 3:30
My plan at 2:30: make it home without throwing up (success!).
But at least I got everything done by 2 they'd expected me to get done by 5. :-)
Too much sun, gave me a headache, got myself a hat though, so hopefully tomorrow I'll make it.
You need to drink a lot of water. Generally if I get dehydrated I get a headache.

Clearly you must have dumped wis if you thought about tying a cat to a stick to use as a prodding device.

Cat harness is fine, but I'll take books and a smart phone so I can PBP/improbable island/hearthstone instead when I'm not in use.

I WANT BATS IN THE SUN PICSOh NH, when you next see Hi, ask him about a description of me. Say I gave permission(which I am officially doing now). Then you’ll get to know how I look like lol :P And yeah I’d want to see your reaction ;)
It’s quite funny meeting people from online the first time they’ll say, what? I never imagined you’d look like that…
LOL. Knowing Hi, I figure I'm going to see about 38 photos of you in various states of surprise. Hi loves his camera.
He's due back on the 3rd, but we're off to Bats in the Sun 'til the 6th, so we'll probably have a big get-together the weekend of the 12th-13th. I figure Rivoli, Sobo, and slides. Life will be Good.
They will absolutely be posted... but probably on Google Drive this time. Flickr just got acquired, and at least Google is the Evil I Know.
Unless someone knows another free photo-sharing site that isn't named PornHub.

Start at the base of the nipple, gently squeeze down until it squirts out, while gently encouraging whatever animal.
If you go in with a bad mood they will kick the bucket over, so it's important to remain positive.

I think Freehold hates Far Cry too, or maybe first person shooters, but it doesn't make sense if he's into mech, and mech warrior is FPS.

Glad you like the basic idea! The idea of D&Dish is you'll be able to (roughly) recreate a D&D class, if you wish. A ranger would be an Extraordinaire/Priest of Nature Deity/(Pet Class?). Admittedly, I have not created a pet class yet.
My question though would be how it would work with a "Shot-on-the-Run archery build"...
Er, good question! I'll probably make skirmish a melee-only tactic. And maybe create a tactic for archery, perhaps involving Perception checks...
2a. Backstab: I don't really have a problem with how you're going about it here. Limiting it to less applicable situations might be a bitter pill to swallow, but if that can be tinkered with either trough other Skill, Abilities or even Spells its livable. As for a bonus dmg = lvl, it seems a tad low but its hard to judge without proper context (ie play testing).
Yeah, play testing is the ultimate test. My thinking with +damage class features is that D&Dish characters have a BDB (base damage bonus) instead of a BAB, so class features don't need to provide such extreme +damage. But we'll see, if I ever finish and then play test this thing...
Anyway, thanks again for commenting!
