But we can pretend the characters know anything. We are unbound in that respect. This, again, seems to indicate that every mechanic is...

I have long advocated for the DMG (and possibly the PHB too) to include, rather than the infuriating "true exotics" blather and...

i'd like to what would get created if the mould was broken a little more and the tolkien core four/five and their well-worn dynamics...

Elaborating on my point not far upthread, that inferences like If X is a disputed proposition of physics, and Einstein conjectured it to...
