      For systems that grade on a 1 to 5 scale, subtract 1 from your average grade to get your GPA (for example, if you have a 4.3 out of 5 average grade, you would have a 3.3 GPA). Not sure how to handle a grading system that goes from 1- to 5+.

      Just looked it up and it seems that GPA is a scale that’s linear from 1-4 but everything below 1 is a 0. A is 4, B is 3 and so on.

      The conversion from letter grades to percentages can vary though but one example only has a D for 65% which makes B an 83-86% or a GPA of 3.

      Failing a class with percentages does count a lot more towards a average than a GPA depending on how hard you fail. Getting a 20% would still be a 0 GPA as well as a 55%. For four classes you could get A, A, A, F and have a GPA of 3 but in percentages you could 100%, 100%, 100% and 0% to get a 75% average.

      Needless to say, when taking all the letter grades together they are a weighted average based on the credits given.

    I would be like 5 of these, so I would be multiclassed beyond usefulness. Come to think of it that is a pretty accurate representation…

    I wonder how many groups would ever have a barbarian. A person with a temper that I ever see basically makes it to my ‘don’t-wanna-be-around’ list.

      Nah, some people have short fuses, some have very particular things/scenarios that set them off. Just don’t step on their feet, and back them up if someone’s pushing their buttons accidentally/on purpose.

      Literally talking to my DM about this right now. You have to grade on a curve but absolutely good, kind, even in control people can be barbarians. Frankly the entire self-limitation people put on themselves by forcing a class based on tropes is getting tiring.

      Hell, I had an idea for a barbarian that doesn’t get bad but instead just locks in. Just goes real quiet and fuck’s shit up.

      You can also make a paladin that doesn’t wear plate armour, who uses a bow, and who’s oath is to protect their village or simply they just love their wife a lot and it’s their wedding vows.

    “Play an Instrument”

    RAW v RAI

    I can play any and every instrument, badly. Rules never said play well.

    I feel like this is too general. I’d want to customize based on specific IRL traits or jobs or hobbies.

    You feed and befriend crows? Druid with animal skills focus.

    You’re some kind of a carpenter, engineer, craftsman? Artificer.

    Phlebotomist’s assistant? Vampire thrall backstory.

    Retail salesperson? Bard with psychic damage skills.

    Live in a basement? Homebrew troll obviously.

    Software and coding? Sounds like arcane languages and warlock pacts to me.

      I don’t know any instruments (yet), but I can bring a vuvuzela and learn real quick during the next session

    Can I be a druid with a subclass of barbarian? Got the druid but fucking nailed. Sometimes I’m a temperamental little bitch, but not enough to translate to berserker rage.

    Either warlock or wizard for me. My brother qualifies for druid and monk, but i’m sure he’d go for fighter just to beat the DM

      YMMV.

      Incidentally, as part of the Kingmaker chronicle, my DM actually introduced a race of cannibal elves who explicitly refused to eat vegetation as they considered plants sacred.

    I can be any of these except for fighter just because I don’t really want to kick my best friend’s ass.

    Then again, he is pretty scrappy, so like, I might end up getting my ass kicked instead if I tried, so either way, it’s a wash for me.
