    D&D 5E How We Beat the HD, HotDQ, Spoilers

    You talkin' to me? :cool: Just want to know if, in that sentence, "you" = me or "you" = the general "you" who post on this thread? If you mean "me", then I will have to politely suggest that you have mistaken me for someone else. If you recall, I'm the one who said this further up the chain...

    Edited to remove unneccesary words Wakarimashita, Arigato Gozaimasu. (said in a friendly, non-condescending, way). ;)

    D&D 5E How We Beat the HD, HotDQ, Spoilers

    Ah but there is a "supposed to" - How else do you supposedly get that emotional response (as Steve himself said in a previous post), if you don't lose. Uh, Japanese because your location says "Nagoya, Japan" and I can speak it a bit.

    D&D 5E How We Beat the HD, HotDQ, Spoilers

    Apologies, Sumimasen, but I don't think you got what I was trying to say with the whole "button thing" there, I was probably too cryptic. The point I was trying to make is that it really isn't a challenge - you lost because you were supposed to lose. Granted, KD actually pulled a "James T...

    D&D 5E How We Beat the HD, HotDQ, Spoilers

    Hey I can agree with this - Frankly, I'm not going to try to guess the intent, I can only criticize the actual, concrete, result (i.e. the encounter as written), not why the author wrote it...Heck I will even stipulate that he tried to do the best job under the given circumstances, just fell a...

    D&D 5E How We Beat the HD, HotDQ, Spoilers

    Given the right circumstances, all of those emotional responses you mentioned above could fall under the general overarching umbrella of "fun". This was not one of those circumstances for me. I wasn't angry with the half dragon, but frustrated with the situation. No worries, we've moved on...

    D&D 5E How We Beat the HD, HotDQ, Spoilers

    OK, consider that nit picked. But, in actuality, here's how it worked out for us: Upon being brought to 0hp, the half dragon stabbed my PC with a spear (count that as 1 death save fail). The rest of the party (watching from the battlements as the way the encounter was presented just one PC...

    Hey KH! Very funny as always...This is Mike...I played this adventure recently and was the guy who had to go out and take on the half dragon...I have to say that I completely agree with KD that this setup sucked. It reminded me of another game wherin we were assailed by an uber-powerful DMPC...

    Can someone explain Evard's Black Tentacles to me?

    Good point! To be fair, I think he was just looking at it in the context of AoOs as I asked the question. However, the spell is still in effect if/when a creature moves through that area (kind of like if they walked through a wall of fire) so they should get attacked by the spell effect (which...

    Can someone explain Evard's Black Tentacles to me?

    Skip Williams take on this Y'know I asked Skip Williams about this very thing during the "Ask Skip" chat session last week. Here is what was said: What he says makes sense...So, it looks like no AoO...oh well. :) Thanks, Kordak

    DMing from a Laptop

    DM Genie I hadn't seen anyone else mention this, but I use DM Genie. It does pretty much all you are looking for. I don't use a DM screen just the laptop and it has a die roller that you can use (although , for the more dramatic moments, I still throw some dice down.) :) It costs about...

    Anticipation for 3.5

    Kershek, That's actually a variant for checks (as in skills), not saving throws...at least that's what it looks like to me. Andy Collins mentioned (over on the Wizards Boards) that AFA saving throws go a 1 is an automatic failure and a 20 is an automatic success.
