Sure thing.

I can't decide if I think the art makes it look more or less disgusting than its 3.5 art. Only a slight nod to its original Obyrith flavor in 3.5, but that's manageable. I love it.

My wife played a little with me and some friends about a year ago, and while she leaned on me quite heavily for the little things like what math she needed at any point, I think the hardest part for her was analysis paralysis when it came to making choices about character design. Choosing a...

This is very good to hear. About half of the reason I continue to buy D&D books relates to keeping up to date on two metaplots: the Blood War and everything Illithids do. And we're getting more daemons/yugoloths, so even more of that itch is being scratched.

I'm going to be so happy when I get this book. The Sibriex gives 5e an Obyrith presence (and the Obyrith element of Abyssal history was easily the best part of the first Fiendish Codex), getting some demon lords and archdevils put in one central place is always nice, I'll always take any new...

Getting there, but the thing that's bugging me is that it seems very much to be casting too wide a net. Take a couple of these subclasses and rework them as sub-classes for different classes and we're in a better place. It would also patch away some of the multiclassing problems I'm already...

Two options spring to mind, though I'm sure others will have other thoughts. Vuman Wizard with Alert, cast sleep. Win via countout. Alternately, a Vuman Barbarian archer with Defensive Duelist, all points in Dex and Con. Once the Orc closes to melee, drop the bow, rage, and pull a shield and...

A good player does not homebrew. That is for the DM.

I'm a fan of playing it that they went back from the future, and in doing so tore open a rip to the Far Realm as well (many wound up lost in there, getting us the Thoon type flayers from 3.5). And that's how the Far Realm first encountered the Prime.

I just spent the past four days reading the thread from the beginning. Giving xp along the way until I had enough context to be able to respond to some of the ongoing points.

I thought the idea that not knowing something meant it didn't exist was a pretty solid one. The story and significance are not one and the same. The significance, which rests in the head of the viewer, did change. The story did not. Everything that happened in the first movie still happened...

Let's be fair. Pathfinder's not exactly a D&D clone. It's a D&D flesh golem. It's the corpse of 3.5 with some parts swapped out and grafted on, animated by some pretty dark sorcery.

Okay, we're getting somewhere. Because you might be able to tell my comment was heavily sarcastic. In the case of Luke and Leia's sibling relationship being revealed, or Holmes's hypothetical sock pattern being commented upon, there was no change in the relationship or sock pattern made upon...

Continuing to catch up on the thread. Getting much closer. Would like to break, though, to comment that I strongly agree with Hussar and pemerton on the Star Wars example of Luke and Leia's relationship and whether addition equals change. Prior to Empire, there was nothing suggesting or...

Indeed. My plan is to wait and see what we get in terms of a close-to-final draft psion telepath, and just slam all of the abilities of the level 20 class onto it. On top of everything it already has. And also probably more HD. And, of course, nasty advantage taking of its psychic link ability...
