i will say the ship combat of ethersea has absolutely not been one of my favorite parts of the season, n i feel like part of that is that you've got two classes who fucking rule in terms of actual combat, but i kinda wish they'd been handling ship combat a lil more like how ASO has done it so far
i think brennan probably took cues from how star wars 5e must do ship combat as well as the abilities of the PCs being more compatible with it, and i know we're probably much too deep in ethersea for griffin to want to go back n rework how it's run, i just hope he maybe comes up with a way to perhaps try and give the PCs more agency in ship combat perhaps?
#alli says shit#like look i love monks n rangers bc they can be Brutal in the right environment#and like we've been able to see that with amber and zoox when we've gotten combat with them out of their ship#i'm not gonna sit here and pretend i'm a master of homebrew and/or sci fi but i just wish ship combat didn't feel so#mechanical?#in ASO the crew plays specific roles that work for them n that they can sort of enhance#and they can get away with that more bc they have a larger party but#idk i just feel like griffin planned this campaign around havin ship combat which is great but got a lil too crunchy with it#and that's comin from me someone who thinks crunch can be very fun#i Love figuring out how mechanics work in the game#n like i don't think ethersea would be a better campaign if it was sw5e n i obviously don't know exactly how griffin came up with#everything regarding ship combat#i just think maybe if he didn't he should have also looked at other sci fi games that were like dnd#it does also help that the red hot just uses the same six stats for me n maybe that is like one wall that could be fixed#idk
