    D&D General Refresher Course D&D Edition Numbers. AKA Modern D&D Is a Self Inflicted Problem.

    On that note, while Zardnar finds fault with it, I think it's a good thing 5E blasting spells fall off in terms of damage compared to monster HP specifically because it encourages teamwork. Especially when dealing with a high level monster, the Wizard be more effective giving the Barbarian a...

    Critical Role Reveals Soldiers' Table and Motivations

    Kiind of feel like that's a strawman. Attacking a level 15 wizard is one thing, but he came in and insulted her, so she shot back. The point is the level of escalation from verbal banter to threats of violence felt a bit forced.

    D&D 5E (2024) Views on 24 MM/SRD monster mechanics now

    I mostly like them. I'm particularly fond of Gaze attacks being moved to an action because I could never remember to have players roll saves at the start of their turns. There are some things I'm not a big fan of, like Arcane Burst being so optimal for the Mage and Archmage. Why are they...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    I hope it didn't take him all 10 years to figure that one out.... Or rather, 25 if you count 3E having a similar meta with different numbers. I don't think I know what this means.

    Critical Role Reveals Soldiers' Table and Motivations

    It depends on what you mean by 'gotten Murray killed'. We're still talking about a game with rules here and just having a character die by DM fiat because they back-talked an NPC is not something I would be okay with. I doubt that's what Brennan meant. Honestly I half expected the response to be...

    Still don't see how that escalates to a murder threat when he was the aggressor in that situation. Real Karen energy. Wait he's a necromancer. Real Charon energy.

    Critical Role Reveals Soldiers' Table and Motivations

    I mean he is all of the above, but he's also just unhinged. He's the one who is storming into her college, being rude to the faculty, insulting Murray, and when she talks back he threatens to murder her. But then given what his family does later in the episode I suppose he came to the city to...

    That was tense but also kind of confusing. Like yes, Marisha's character was rude to him, but she hadn't done anything to threaten him. It just escalated so quickly.

    At any rate, I hope the similarities to Game of Thrones this campaign are superficial at best.

    Ah. Not familiar with the books or show so I don't actually know the rules to that game.

    Critical Role Reveals Soldiers' Table and Motivations

    Looking back at my prediction after Ep. 1 I was right about Teor, Katt, and Thimble being soldiers but Wic and Tyranny joining them was likewise a huge surprise to me. (As well as Azune being left behind.)
