Bogged down in combat...again.

Abjure the Extraplanar saved party

I wish there was something in the photo that provides scale. Like, how big is that thing anyway??

They aren't as interested in "who is playing the game" as they are "who is buying the books." And older people are likely buying more books. I am ancient by your statistics reference and I own nearly everything WotC has put out in both digital and physical form. You'd better believe they want to...

Brilliant reference.

This is what I plan to implement in my game. It is more generous than the 5.5 rules but I want characters to be able to use their stealth if they have invested in it. HIDING RULES When you are hidden you cannot be detected by sight or hearing, although creatures with other senses might be...

Look I'm a proud member of the LGBTQ+ and am pretty damn progressive by American standards. And I don't have strong feelings about Medusae or dryads. But if you know what is good for you, you will keep your filthy paws off my hags' filthy claws!! I think this section in Volo's about hags was...

I've been toying with the idea of all healing triggering hit dice expenditures. Haven't come up with a system I love yet. But maybe if it only applied to potions it would limit the issue of every party wandering around with dozens of healing potions in their backpacks.

" But I'm not Tony Stark."

Do we have an actual release date? All my searches just turn up "2024."

While I largely agree with the "rogues are fine if not awesome" crowd, I do think that REALLY shining when it matters (+5.5 to a failed check) has a bigger effect on the game, to say nothing of the psychological benefits, than consistent situations of "I'm generally better than you are at...

Heh. Aligns with the only way I have seen people play the monk SUCCESSFULLY.
