    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I think it depends on the setting whether creatures that perform the function of minions in combat are part of it, but I'll accept they aren't part of your setting, so the mechanic isn't about representing things in your setting. Nor does the mechanic establish, develop, or resolve a...

    That would be High-Concept Simulationism. If you're going to use GNS terminology, at least use it correctly. Just because you can describe play using the word narrative does not make it an instance of Narrativism.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Evil and Good cleric spell 5th level in use

    I meant they aren't in the dragon's space just as you aren't in the space of the layers that support the road when you're standing on the road. Typically the space a character occupies begins at ground level, not below. The difference is the dragon's a creature, so you can't stand on it as if it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Evil and Good cleric spell 5th level in use

    After some reflection, although I might resolve the players' declared actions in a similar way to what I posted above, I really don't think the rules support characters taking actions while in free fall, so the exploit essentially wouldn't work as stated because once the PCs teleported to the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Evil and Good cleric spell 5th level in use

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned (afaics) the 4d6 force damage called out in dimension door that could arguably apply for attempting to teleport into a place already occupied by a creature, if that "place" were interpreted to be the space controlled by the dragon. Personally, though, like the...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    At least it'll give @Leatherhead a chance to get their turn posted up!

    Hard to say, but it wouldn't matter because there'd be nothing to concentrate on as soon as he woke up. Agreed, it's not Terrin's style, but he did try to bludgeon him as he was waking up, which is almost as bad.

    I also don't think it would have been optimal given the situation. Siobhan is only about thirty feet away from where he was sleeping. The noise of making an attack might have alerted her, and I might have missed like I did when I attacked him while he was still prone. If I did hit, it would be...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    It has the portcullis, so we could theoretically prevent them from following us in there right away, and the door probably leads somewhere, not to mention the sewer which maybe isn't somewhere we want to go, but still is a way out. Yeah, that was a mistake. I have no idea what the range is of...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I was imagining a fighting retreat like @FitzTheRuke described, falling back into the storeroom so we could close the portcullis and somehow jam the crank to hold it closed while we escape. Lorent (@Neurotic) doesn't seem to want to run away just yet, but Terrin was getting hammered where he...

    Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, one of the most prominent journalists in Gaza, was assassinated by the Israeli military along with four of his colleagues at the network. They were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a media tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital.

    It's more than that. They both have "erri" in the middle. Also, Merrick's player is named Taran. Once I realized the confusion that might cause, I was tempted to rename him, but it was too late!

    @Neurotic, by "Merrick", I suppose you mean my cleric PC, Terrin? Merrick is the barbarian in Team Caves.

    There's also a door at the top of a flight of stairs in the north wall of the storeroom. That was my first thought. Eta: Ah, I see Fitz beat me to it. 😄
