My group currently has a necromancer with 5 skeletons and a henchman, a cleric who leaves his henchman at home a lot, a fighter with a fighter henchman, a barbarian, and a druid who shapechanges a lot. Sometimes combat takes a long time. I defaulted to having all NPCs go at the end of combat...

I am always humbled by the fact that there are no original ideas.

I'm not sure it is an easier idea than just reducing the damage based on the armor. I might just lead to people trying to use the biggest weapon all the time to limit the reduction to nothing. The problem I would have as the DM is the extra time and questions from the players about type of...

Wouldn't most of these things be levels of technology or advancement? If space aliens landed on Earth we might think that some of the stuff they have is magic if we cannot explain through science. If one of them could touch someone and cure cancer and says that it is his belief in god that...

They certainly look cool. I find that I need the large print cards nowadays. Not this large though.
