With the white font colour, I thought you had to actually be able to scry on WotC to divine what it was about.

That's a good point, a few of the races in dolmenwood have better skills that would grant them advantage on the check.

I think mainly that the time would be reduced to 1 minute/level to bring it more in line with other spells that were also similarly reduced in duration. I was actually thinking that 1 minute/level would be the same as greater invisibility, but I checked just now and saw that it was 1...

I'd say that, depending on how you're using time, you could essentially say that each attempt takes 1 turn. Eventually they'll roll their target number and then you can just mark off an amount of time which might be important if you're tracking things like torches (can the team afford the thief...

That's the sort of terror I'd love to inspire when using light sources.

Yeah, definitely one of those spells that would have been changed to 1 minute/level if it survived the update. Imagine an assassin with this cast on them, the 5 foot radius silence would let them kill their targets without any noise just moving from target to target as an invisible, silent death...

The books are amazing, there is a lot of information in the campaign book, so much that I've missed when running some players through the various hexes on their way home to Prigwort. I'm kind of liking the simple nature of the d6 skills, but it shouldn't be difficult to change. Is there a skill...

I always liked to have, as a wizard, something like the following fire bolt or ray of frost as my main attack cantrip magic missile (for when you really need to finish of a bad guy) thunderwave or burning hands for those times when the enemy is up in my face an aoe spell like shatter early on...

When I use something like chatGPT, often it is the act of bouncing ideas off it that sparks my creativity. I get the same spark from conversations from others, reading books, watching shows, etc. You get ideas that you can riff off and build something up for a game and while the AI itself may...

You sound exactly like me, I want it to matter but completely forget about it. I think often the case is that someone, in 5e, casts light and then from then on we assume that there is enough light to not worry. I think at most I say that it messes with darkvision so if someone has cast light...

It'll be interesting to hear back on that one.

I've only just now come across delphi classics which has ebook collections for sale including: The (near) complete works of Robert E. Howard. Great for getting all of the collected works without having to spend time searching through various archives, even though that can be a lot of fun. Best...

I go for a gnome more than others, and I tend to lean into the old lore about them being illusionists. But normally if I'm wanting to play something shorter than human, it'll be a dwarf, even though they're no longer small.

I think it's a great idea, and it takes away one of the main complaints about AI, that being the assets taken from anyone. If they're able to leverage AI to help make their game quicker, without losing quality, then I think that's a win.

How well did it retain things in memory? I've heard that's quite a limiting factor but that was quite long ago, I think chatgpt is better at retaining things in memory now, but maybe not small details that might be important for a player.
