Please nerf barrelmancy. That is DoS not 5e.

I am sure D&D did not have barrelmancy powers. Of course you could meta game and move things around, but food, time and stuff actually matter in some D&D campaigns.

Most people aren't going to metagame with barrels. But I agree they're a bit silly and might warrent a change. If they had to nerf them, just reduce the number of them so you can't exterminate whole camps with it. Encourage clever use, but not abuse.

[Rainnd]

I kinda wish that you coundn't put heavy things into your inventory and would need to transport them in some special move mode, like you would do it in Desperados, with it's own animation. And NPCs would react if you're bringing an explosive barrel to close.

id just skip the explosion part of it. a pool of oil set on fire is nowhere as damaging as the exploding undamaged barrel.

drop the exploding part and youre left with less exploitable dmg.

as for realism.. i dont think theres that much pressure in a wooden barrel, no need for an extreme explosion.

the only downside would be that it would feel less like a DOS game.

I appreciate where you’re coming from, but I must contest your request. Barrelmancy is amazing and absolutely should not be nerfed.

Leave it as an option for those who want to do something silly.

I am going to a Barrelmancer in my next session.

Ender the Barrelmancer!

BM: "It's hard to find things more fun than this object filled with monkeys."

PC: "What is a barrel?"

this is just a thing you can do in D&D, its not a big deal, if you choose to load up on barrels, then thats on you

I guess its fine if people want to meta game. But barrels everywhere, and fire or exploding ones is kind of unreal don't you think?

Green, alien elf people riding on dragons to fight brain-eating squid people is a slight bit more unreal, don’t you think?

Its part of the game universe. Having exploding barrels in living quarters isn't something people do.

by raw you can just buy keg bombs in D&D, so basically any store would, i wouldn't be surprised if those ended up around town after either.

what if npcs noticed whats going on when youre placing barels and they'd make them explode on you instead? now thatd be more realistic...

as opposed to "whats this guy doing spreading 20 barrel around me? bah must be fine."

[dolby]

they actually do respond. I placed a barrel and a NPC picks it up and stored it in their inventory lol.

lol why are you such a die hard fan why why ??? You know that barrels don't work like that at all in BG 3 they are totally utterly broken for multitude of reason. Why can't you admit that???
