This is overcomplicating something that seems pretty straightforward, at least to me. A door is an object. For that matter, so is a wall. Also a chair, clock, curio cabinet, the owlbear pelt hanging on the wall, the kitsch sword display -- all are objects. This is not an exclusive list, many...

God. What an awful idea. We're trying to discuss chronomancers here, and you have to try and derail the discussion with this silliness. A weapon that fires primates? Please! [emoji35] ... (But do if you design the Gibbon Cannon, please let me see the stats.)

Aha! Okay, I understand what you mean, now. Something that allows for WotC creative license in the face of canon, that gives them a solid metaphysical justification for taking the tangled mess that are the official campaign settings and doing something cool and new with them. This... is tricky...

"Allow"? A lot of us have been doing this sort of thing for years.

Dude, this sounds way too much like common sense. Who cares about fun or actually playing the game? You have to make the math work because math. ;) Snark aside, this approach is one that I prefer. I remember how 3E and 4E were really big on having rigidly consistent formulas for every monster...

...and this, where conspiracies and agendas are ascribed to a faceless Other, is where any possibility of intelligent discussion ends. It's fine to not like SCAG, or to like it, but statements like this are not reasonable. First person blocked since I've gotten to ENWorld. =/

Not the only one. Here's the Elemental Evil's Player's Companion, not as tied to the Realms. Much cheaper and all crunch. You know, the internet is for complaining and all, but I think all the class variants and the metric ton of backgrounds were worth the cost of SCAG. At least, for me. That's...

1) Recycled material is the point of the book. Actually. SCAG is a book for an existing campaign setting, the Forgotten Realms. Right? So if it didn't cover stuff from that campaign setting, it'd be a new campaign setting with FR branding, yes? And people would moan and bitch about that. (Of...

Well, what a statement that makes. We're very proud of you and all. But how are .pdf sales "suspect"? Because you don't like .pdfs they somehow don't count? So by that logic, I can completely disregard all discussion of Pathfinder or Palladium sales because I don't buy them?

I'll just throw this in here. I picked up the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide because of the character options, so I can mine it for my homebrew games and settings. I wasn't disappointed, there; we have the bladesinger, the storm sorcerer, and the purple dragon knight I'm planning to reskin as a...

You're missing his point entirely.

I had this dream last night. The Prime Material Plane world I dreamt of would create demiplanes, little pocket dimension tethered to locations on the primary plane, not unlike a larger organism budding off or forming polyps. The demiplanes retain the characteristics and properties of the...

(Sorry, double-post.)

I quite like the idea of a "shiftless" druid as well. Definitely mining some of this for my games. :)
