    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    These aren't religious text or contract law. The amount of hair splitting in this thread is getting excessive. Remember all this started when the PC's main concern was, "these guys are our enemies, but we don't like our odds of survival in a fight, so if we can make a deal with them instead of...

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    I tend to give acts alignment, and in my system, an act is chaotic if you do it to defy some convention or social structure, and it is evil if you enjoyed the pain the act caused. I would have the CE acting individual oppose something that the PC's would also oppose (be careful not to pick...

    D&D General Describe your eldritch blast to me

    If you watch the 2002 He-Man cartoon, King Hiss's ethereal snake attack has been my go-to for EB.

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Who says that pacts can't have secrets? Either cite something or leave your head cannon out of this. I'm calling complete and total BS on this.

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    If you read the whole first paragraph, you would see that I dispute that a would-be warlock would bother or be capable of finding out that information. From the would-be warlock's perspective, I'm sure it feels all very "independent" and special, but unless Cthulhu, Belial, and the nameless...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    I don't believe "every dirt farmer and street urchin has memorized the PHB and MM" has ever been official, so there is no reason to believe that anyone knows any "cosmic secrets." Also, patrons pick warlocks for charisma, not wisdom or intelligence, so it is unlikely that the warlock can detect...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Since most of the patrons are unpleasant, I figure the primary purpose of the warlock is to harvest pain. Every hp of damage to a creature caused by a warlock goes into the patron's cosmic bank account (EB doesn't damage doors, because doors don't feel pain). Most warlocks don't know this...

    D&D General Do you use D&D style list of gods in your games?

    I do, but with the caveat that the gods on the lists are those whose agendas are the ones that the PC's are most likely to interact with, and there might be more out there. So, if the player wants a different god, that works out fine. The list is mostly there so players don't feel like they...

    D&D General What Does Your Cosmology Look Like?

    Mine is similar to the GW, but with a few differences. People don't have alignment, but actions do. The simple adventurer's guide says: if you hit someone or zap them with a spell, it is lawful if you were trying to conform to some standard, chaotic if you were trying to defy some standard...

    D&D General Greek heroes as D&D characters

    Hercules killed two giant poisonous serpents unarmed as a baby. That is 22 points of damage from two unarmed strikes. Herc is basically as strong as he needs to be. Any class that assumes you get more strength as you level up doesn't really work. Hercules does have a progression (at least in...
