This is your thread now; may you have what joy of it you can.

Would anyone happen to know the answers to the following questions, with regards to collisions between projectiles (ex: arrows) and armour (ex: plate cuirasses)? I have, at this point, been able to determine that heavier, slower projectiles do less damage, but have an "armour piercing" effect...

It is mid-afternoon of your third day out from Neverwinter, having just begun travelling on the Triboar trail, when the first sign of trouble strikes. You have had a pleasant journey so far; fair skies and winds that aren't too cool. The oxen proved well-used to the harness, and required little...

This is a combination commentary and questions on Lycanthrope, in list form. 1) Fiction is replete with characters controlling an evil transformation through sheer willpower. Attempting to control your transformation through sheer willpower...Causes you to succumb to it? 2) Wererats are CR 2...

A thread for those ironic moments where you had a thought resembling "Fe! It's fun, anyway." 1) Playing Team Fortress Classic with a server I found once that had only bot players in it. They were right at the top among the most helpful, organized and coordinated teams I have ever played...

We all of course have stories of items a GM or player came up with to throw a curveball into play that relied only on Rule 0. However, from daggers which blind or deafen their target to swords which cast Grease on their target, RAW contains plenty of room for offbeat items. So, what would be...

The rules are simple: Pick one ninth-level spell, and balance it versus the revised time stop. Once all OGL spells have a revised version, then I will pick one first-level spell and the set will continue from there. At the end of this thread, there will be a selection of balanced spells for use...
