    D&D General Reincarnate is and has always been, weird.

    Or an awesome failure option that reinforces that magical reincarnation isnt a convinient reliable crutch that makes death trivial. Plus some players might consider being undead an upgrade

    Poor Ursula, she had so much potential! Peter has no idea what he missed :( but really akward relationships and unhealthy choices seems to be Peter Parkers whole shtick

    TEAM FUSION - SUBJECT: SHADE-9 - Going Around the Bend Shade-9 stood back in the shadows, observing as the kayaks were redeployed and Loklafd began ferrying the now larger group to the northern shore. The warforged opted to remain in the darkness, tracking the kayaks progress from the shore and...

    Do owlbears have teeth?

    OP refers to Tomia too - which is hardened cartilage and can be separated from a bird (or owlbear)'s beak. Its not easy but it can be done by a skilled taxidermist. What it would be used for I have no idea - fried duck beak is eaten in parts of Thailand

    D&D General Favorite builds for noobs?

    Noob remember - even if the DM tells them that the starting scenario is going to be 'lots of exploration, investigation and infiltrating an enemy stronghold" its unlikely a noob is going to know the mechanics well enough to create the best class and species mix for that specific game.

    D&D General Reincarnate is and has always been, weird.

    I do like that the spell can create ghouls, wraiths, spectres and mummies, that ought to be the standard. Personally, I hate the spell and ban it along with Wish. If you want to do the reincarnation fantasy then you must go full full Orpheus and make a descent to the Underworld, charm/beat...

    D&D General D&D 3.5 - splatbook power creep or no?

    The good Splatbooks were great for adding cool options and expanding the game The bad Splatbooks were terrible for adding power without considering how they might balance with the rest of the game It required DMs to police what they would allow in to their games - which becomes yet another...

    D&D General Favorite builds for noobs?

    Easiest: Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue - they do one thing and dont need much else, mistakes dont matter Easy: Paladin, Monk - they add a bit of spice, but are easy enough to track. Moderate: Ranger, Warlock, Cleric, Bard - this is where making decisions starts Complex: Scorcerer, Druid - needs...

    Do owlbears have teeth?

    Oh I really like the 5.5 depiction, I hadnt seen that before. I always assumed the different pictures depicted different species of Owlbear too - so if we just go by fur/feather colour theres seems to be 3 or 4 different types depicted - the standard brown (1e, 2e, 3e, 4e), a grey (5e), snowy...

    AD&D 2E Al-Qadim campaign setting

    Alladin is interesting in showing just how far the islamic world extended - Alladin is from a City in China whereas the stories antagonist is a Sorcerer from the Maghreb (North Africa)! Nonetheless the story is told in Persia and its descriptions and details are entirely Middle Eastern. One...

    Do owlbears have teeth?

    IMC I made Owlbears and Griffons relatives of Velociraptors/Utahraptor and as raptors they have teeth and the raptor talon. Owlbears are the large robust form that go around on all fours due to their extra bulk. Aarakocra, Vrock and Achairai are also raptors

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    Maybe, she looked conflicted and got caught up in her own emotional trauma. Its already established she's got lots of psychological issues and disassociates herself from consequences - like she did with the murder during the robbery - so I can see her doing the same regarding Nala as proxy...
