Lanefan's latest activity

It's the high-heeled shoe that turns me off. This and the TNT plunger detonators, the museum cafes, the heat metal hot plates. Things...

I think the idea is that commoners are equal to minions, which of course they aren't. A commoner has 1d8 hit points whether he's...

Let me get this straight 150 peasants (why not 1,000? 10,000?) armed with slings at the ready all have clear shots at the dragon...

But since there seems to be as shortage of GM's, isn't openly judging and labeling them counter productive?

Unless the dragon is itself supposed to be a minion in this example?

Ezekiel is, I think, advocating for the opposite; that lower level monsters not remain a meaningful threat as levels advance. Steeper...
