How would you guys change legendary resistances in 5e?

[@heimko3618]

I'm no game developer or mechanic balancer, so i do not know if my idea is good or bad, but i was thinking of maybe doing one of the following: A) They get to re-roll their save on a failure, but must take the new roll no matter what. B) Basically give them the Lucky Feat. I was thinking on maybe doing something with either reflecting or make it so whoever made the boss do a Save in the first place could maybe also end up getting at least half the damage or condition, but i'm not sure how good that would be.

[@Chrosteellium]

By buffing fighter's indomitable feature into a legendary resistance instead of a near useless reroll of a saving throw. Since you're really only going to use it on like wisdom saves etc. Since those ones aren't just damage. Failing the same save twice in a row is so much worse and less cool than going, "I choose to succeed" That's metal as FUCK

[@SamuelDancingGallew]

Two ways: 1st: Legendary Resistances are a +5 and re-roll, not an auto-success, so it's very possible that they can burn all 3 and still fail against that Stunning Strike. 2nd: Legendary Resistance is Advantage, not an Auto-Success. Also, there are better ways of doing Legendary Monsters, like giving them an extra little buff at the end of their turn. Actually, 5e is a mess when it comes to balance. Once you get to Fireball... 8d6 Fire Damage is a lot once you consider the fact that a Wizard at that Level, has 5d6... Congratulations, you can now Kamikaze in a massive Area that is almost guaranteed to hit everyone you want.

[@demonac]

My simple plan is just: Keep legendary resistances BUT, tie some of the specific monster's stats or abiliities to how many LegRes they have remaining. Meaning, every time they are forced to spend one, they get noticeably weaker. Then whenever you do spend one in combat, communicate that to the players. Your boss monster didn't get CC'd, but its desperate defense cost it 2 points of AC, or it lost the ability to deal automatic counter damage to melee attacks, or drained the power from its Ring of Fireballing Da Fools... and of course, it can only pull that BS one or two more times (at similar cost). Now draining Legendary Resistance feels like a strategic contribution to the damage-race, even though the spell "failed"

[@GinLuna]

I prefer to make dice related spell shields. They basically block cantrips but encourage high level spell usage(1+1d8). If they roll high enough, the spell fizzles. If not, it goes through. Not as interactive as some ideas I bet others have made, but i like making the math rocks roll. Plus its bypassed by martials so they get free reign to try and collectively body the target

[@bonewizard]

Oooh. TIL

[@synmad3638]

Flee, Mortals! pretty much fixed legendary resistances. Basically, the creature has to sacrifice something to trigger them. For example: Ireful Defense (3/Day). When Forzaantirilys fails a saving throw, she can succeed instead. When she does, attack rolls made against her have advantage until the end of her next turn. Painful Resistance (3/Day). Eight eyes float around Xorannox and create his Eye Psionics. If Xorannox fails a saving throw, he can destroy a random floating eye (chosen by rolling a d8) and succeed instead.

[@bonewizard]

ya this is cool. An auto success is way more interesting when it has a cost.

[@amateurishauthor2202]

For ranger, take a look at Baldur's gate 3. it completely fixes the issues with Favored Enemy and Favored Terrain. How? by making it based on what you've learned from hunting those creatures or in specific environments, which is so incredibly cool!

[@trentgrady9389]

Adding on to this since the ranger is a 1/2 caster they should get both a cantrip unique to their favored terrain if its a damage cantrip it uses their wisdom mod and a small buff to attacks against their favored enemy.

[@amateurishauthor2202]

@@trentgrady9389 Some of the favored terrain/favorite enemy in BG3 give spells, so this isn't out of place for it, some spells can easily be given to the Ranger depending on favored terrain/favorite enemy, Like Thorn whip, Shillagh, Druidcraft, guidance, etc. for instance, Keeper of the Veil (favorite enemy, hunts extraterrestrial foes) gives you Protection from good and evil.

[@kinajardine9009]

Something else that could make monks as a whole more strategic and gives them more identity as a class that can use their martial arts to debuff enemies (because let's face it, they should be rewarded for having the nerve to attack fully armored, armed enemies without a weapon or armor themselves) is to change stunning strike to 'disabling' strikes, which give the monk a CHOICE of what kind of debuff to inflict (This also makes monks less of a headache for DMs) that each have a different save, instead of just CON. The debuffs could be something like reducing a target's STR to 10 for a turn or forcing them to drop an item or reducing their speed to 0, debuffs that aren't as strong as a stun, but have a more diverse save type, rewarding monks that test for weaknesses that allow them to score their debuffs more reliably instead of DMs jacking up every enemy's CON stats as soon as a monk reaches level 5. The only time the monk will actually stun (which is as disabled as you can get without being dead, so it doesn't matter what effect you're trying to achieve) is upon rolling a crit, in which case, the stun automatically succeeds, no save for the opponent. The disabling strike does crit damage AND stuns the target until the monk's next turn, which would be hugely rewarding.

[@SilvrSavior]

Maybe give it a way to scale with additional ki spent at higher levels. Like a dex save to avoid blindness for a turn that can be upgraded to work on blindsense?

[@kinajardine9009]

@@SilvrSavior Absolutely. The main problem monks have is that for the most part, NONE of their core abilities scale with level, and they absolutely should. One of the homebrews I use is flurry of blows increases to 3 bonus attacks at level 7, and at level 11, the damage bonus for flurry of blows becomes DEX+WIS.

[@MastroR]

For improved deflect attack I imagine it as a you land a hit but the enemy also does, like you kick their chest but they right hook your jaw. Great video btw

[@Too-Much-Caffeine]

I wish d&d had more execution style abilities that did better effects based on lower HP. I think it really sells the idea of an epic final attack cause a lot of times in combat, the big bad guy will just get chipped away and taken out by some random attacks that are a bit harder to make feel impactful IMO.

[@bonewizard]

I agree. Alot of games have execute abilities that work pretty well. They are pretty simple to implement. You could even introduce them at lower levels too. the lower the level, the lower the hp needs to be.

[@SilvrSavior]

Dreamscarred press for PF1e has a Scarlet Throne Maneuver (3rd party version of Tome of Battle stuff) that was an execution style called Final Blow that only worked on enemies with 25% of their health left. That school of maneuvers also keyed off of sense motive, which that maneuver could use as a free action to check if they were susceptible to it.

[@johannesstephanusroos4969]

Wait, is Coup de Grace not a thing in this edition?

[@SilvrSavior]

@johannesstephanusroos4969 technically no. Though if a target is paralyzed, then all attacks against the target are crits when made from 5ft away.

Looks like WotC are using some of your base monk buffs u did awhile ago, so the Spider-Man subclass u made works with the play test Monk and my DM is allowing me to use it. Thank u for the subclass

[@bananabanana484]

My fix for legendary resistances is either give every creature a unique defensive ability (seems hard) or give them Legendary Resilience: when this creature is subject to an effect with a duration other than “Until Dispelled” or “Instaneous”, roll 1d4 - The creature’s proficiency + the relavent modifier of the affecting creature (the stat which modifies the DC or Attack). The total result is the number of rounds the effect lasts. This way, more powerful creatures can escape instant win effects, but the effects still get a chance to shine

[@cirrus2472]

I like the idea that the sanctuary effects allies in a small aura and just got suppressed for a turn on any beneficiary who attacks. It’d probably need to be limited to like once per day. I like the thematics of that, shows the inner peace is radiating out from you.

[@Crazor2000]

About legendary resistances, i agree you can design them in another way (most people do this by taking away abilties of giving them debuffs). this is fine and mostly makes it feel better, but it doesn't really solve the underlying issue. due to the way 5e is designed, legendary resistances are unfortunatly nessary in one form or another. the reason why they are here is because there are so many abilities/spells that just can end a bossfight, the monks quivering palm is just one example, even in the phb alone there are many examples of this, true polymorph, dominate monster, forcecage, even something like disarm from battlemaster can cripple a monster if you can get it's primary weapon. your quivering palm solution is just one of the thing you need legendary resistances for. If you want to get rid of legendary resistances you need to basically overhaul a lot of 5e abilties and the way conditions and saving throws work. Yes, pathfinder and older editions don't have legendary resistances, but this is because those systems where not build with the same abilities in mind. spells and effects are more limited by the things like degrees of failure, and weaker conditions, which 5e mostly doesn't have. you cannot fix this by simply changing legendary resistances, you need to adress the underlying issues that makes having legendary resitances nessary. it's kinda like invincibility phases in video game bossfights. some game allow you to make your attacks extremely strong, especially with the right builds/buffs and that's part of the fun, but in order to make it they don't end the bossfight too quickly you need unfortunetly those phases. it's not the most fun mechanic, but unless you want to fix the system that makes your attacks so strong from the ground up (which most likely requires redesigning a large part of the game), you either need to overtune the bosses to ridiculous extremes, making any non-optimized build not useful, or keep them but try to make them fun.

[@bonewizard]

ok then just disallow those game breaking abilities or change them to not be so game breaking. Simple fix.

[@Crazor2000]

​@@bonewizard the issue with that is how ingrained it is within 5e, and the way saves are designed. you need to ban or change a lot of the things in 5e to make it work, which at a certain point isn't really fun for anyone to nerf or ban them. the issue is that you can't simply keep nerfing or removing abilities without feeling like you take away some of what makes those worthwhile and fun or are overly policing what you players can do. like do you want to remove/change something like command, because allows you to replace their turn with a command? then you partly remove what makes command interresting combat spell in the first place, the ability to give them an command and remove a turn and give them an interresting command instead (if you players are creative with it). You can argue that nearly every crowd control or disabling effect stop a boss fight, not only spells and abilities, but even basic conditions. even ones the ones you didn't point out in your old paralyze and stunned video. Frightend/restrained can stop melee enemies from doing anything if it's not next to an foe and blinded stops pretty much all spells from working. sure you can give immunity to those conditions, but you are doing essential the same thing as legendary resistances just now permanently. that's why many homebrews statblocks focus on making legendary resistances an satisfying/fun to go up against rather than outright removing them. this doesn't fix the issue, but you can't really fix it without redesigning a lot of 5e from the ground or nerfing your players a lot. And to be honest it can be satisying to remove legendary resistances from creatures, it's almost like a secondary healthbar. it can be frustrating? Yes, very much, but it can be also fun to finally nail a good debuff after a couple tries, since it feels like you earned it I agree it's not a great system, but i feel it's not as bad a many people make it out to be. Still I can understand your point of view.

Dingo was live when Bone berated the group chat 🤣

[@bonewizard]

Lol no! She was just screen sharing on discord. I wouldn't interrupt a live stream like that haha.

[@Shalakor]

I've always fantasized about an NPC or group of NPCs using Quivering Palm to blackmail a low-to-mid-level party into taking on a quest. A version that doesn't require a Saving Throw when used on a low enough HP target would be fantastic.

[@bonewizard]

Thats so evil lol

[@nicolasv6031]

Great work bone dude! Looking forward to the Way of Long Death, if you're going to be making it! One of my players is going that route, with the theme being that their character is a daredevil with a death wish!

[@bonewizard]

huh long death? Is that some unofficial monk subclass from a book that no one likes?

[@nicolasv6031]

@@bonewizard oh yeah, I just realized it is from that accursed tome that shan't be named! No wonder it needs so much work and tuning!

[@brendenstratford30]

Thanks for another monk subclass revision! I always feel like there is never enough ki to go around and spending 2 ki for a bump to a skill check feels very expensive. Maybe I just need to grab my teddy bear and short rest more? Looking forward to shadow monk! (unless I missed it somewhere)

I hope i can!

My dm and I using his improved base monk changes redid the four elements monk to be a blend of Ghost of Tsushima stances and avatar as a model. You unlock a new elemental stance at 3 (you start with 2 stances), 6, and 11 and each having their own benefits relating to that element along with some new disciplines/spells related to those elements such as being able to extend the reach and adding a wisdom mod for fire or cold damage from melee attacks in Fire/Water Stance, having shape *blank* element as cantrips that cost nothing and a wind blade as a ranged attack cantrip for air

[@MoreInsane96]

Oh no, I gotta change my character (yay) (which as DM was using as a Deus Ex Machina to save the party) Thanks for all the work! Love the editing and obv the buffs. Ps links to the other guys channels are broken

[@bonewizard]

The links are fixed! Thanks for letting me know!

I only recently stumblrd upon your videos and have already shown to my other dm friend. Great work, i plan on using these new and improved reworks in my games down the line. Thanks for this. I also want to ask if future videos will end up covering all the classes (and maybe even artifcier and blood hunter)? Great work keep it up.

[@bonewizard]

yes to artificer but not for awhile. Not sure about blood hunter.

[@YaGirlGumption]

With how talented you are at explaining your points and making very balanced reworks that my table loves. I'm curious how you'd tackle the anathema (and imo awkward to play) that is the Kensei Monk

[@bonewizard]

that video will come soon

[@YaGirlGumption]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[@elianisthebrave6988]

yeah open hand is the straight translation of the monk abilities from 3.5, sub classes were not a thing so you had to take other levels in prestige class to be 'unique' not that you'd want to play a monk because they were a terrible class in 3.5 too unfortunatly.

[@bonewizard]

a lot of stuff in the phb is a weird hold over from previous editions.

[@vincentsissom4180]

On quivering palm, on the new version, I would have added on giving the target 1 level of exhaustion on a failed save. Reason being, when vibrations end in a person's body, it takes a ton out of a person (assuming they live). As a dancer, when you get dancing, you are causing minor vibrations in your own body, admittedly much more minor. But if you dance for too long, you do tire yourself out, but it does depend on how much stamina, aka constitution, you have when you stop. That's why I recommend a level of exhaustion only on a failed save, since you were able to withstand the vibration in your body. Originally, I thought a level on a successful save and 2 on a failed save, but that might be too busted.

[@bonewizard]

Thats interesting. Personally i think 10d12 damage is enough, I dont think you need to add more to it than that.

[@GuyAndMask]

I saw Rock Lee and im on the verge of making a monk that buffs themself.

[@bonewizard]

Do it

[@malachigreener3418]

Very cool very nice

[@bonewizard]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@KingZolem]

Yeah it's the subclass where they stuck a bunch of atuff that used to be base monk features that were a bit jank compared to the rest.

[@bonewizard]

yaaaa that sounds about right

[@CodyChsilom-ws8ng]

Also can’t wait for the avengers endgame fight with the way of mercy monk bone man hope you are well

[@bonewizard]

I got some ideas kicking around.
