1. probably has to go. 2. A party should ALWAYS set ground rules for determining how to distribute magic items. There has been WAY too much grief in my own game because one of the more liked players convinced the rest of the party to go with informal group consensus to determine ownership of...

I disagree it is a shame. Just because we play games doesn't make us politically unified, nor should it. Indeed I get very agitated when companies and Faces in gaming push agenda driven games, panhandle for charities pushing one set of cultural biases over another and try political grandstanding...

That is one way to interpret the text. To me it's clear the grappler is using the hand to grapple until they release the grapple. While true, Using multiple attacks to make Shoves works just fine to break the grapple via the reach stipulation.

Are vampires and their spawn kinda anemic for their CRs? Just looking over them makes them seem like the just won't have the offensive output to be much a challenge for their respective CRs. Sure they can get allies (but those are worth XP in their own right and take an action +1d4 rounds to...

Moderate, while most encounters will be not be of strong creatures, a few still exist. Also large numbers of schlub foes can be a beast if the party goes headfirst. Near cities: safe with isolated threats that have a reason to be near a city Near settlements: Easy to moderate, monsters that...

Some folks feel laws are written by legislature not activist judges. Me, I'm enjoying the spectacle.

Are you using a "grid" or just measuring? Grid rules might add a complication or two.

What "Sphere" spell do you refer to. 'ph' = 'f' is a tricky spelling area
