Martial has multiple definitions, noncaster and weapon combat focused. So a paladin could be a martial or not so it depends on context for usage. In a discussion of balancing martials against casters I think the context is more non caster class stuff like champion fighters versus full caster...

Pure non-caster martials in the 4e PH. And they were fantastic. I played one in a decently long campaign. Not entirely sure in essentials if they are primal powered.

Oerth Journal 19 3.5 Undead: ? Tireless Undead Crewmember: ? Undead Worker: ? Undead Servant: ? Normal Ghast: ? More Powerful Than Normal Ghast: Two ghasts lurk in the pit; the remnants of Areth-Langa’s last victims. They are more powerful than normal ghasts, as they were created within a...

Just shows that experiences differ dramatically. :) I've been in multiple long term game groups and ongoing campaigns that included spousal couples in the regular group and never encountered such problems or issues including at one point my now decades long face to face group being majority...

I quite enjoyed Amazon's Peripheral, how similar is the original book? My wife generally raved about the books but didn't want to spoiler anything for me when she saw it was a Prime series so we did not discuss book specifics at the time.

I am going to disagree here. :) I don't go by the theory that everyone is low level psychic and so hyper senses include enhancing Daredevil's psychic ones to pick up on Muse as the artist and the psychic emotional connection to the therapist as the subject of the painting. I also don't go by a...

I thought he shot it through the guy's eye not his skull, then killed him with the unhinged scissor blade as the guy was writhing on the ground.

Oerth Journal 18 3.5 Undead: ? Ghostly Suel Wizard, Human Ghost Wizard 14: ? Nightshade Nightwalker: ? Shadow: ? Spectre: ?

For me She Hulk was a disappointment because I went in with high expectations on three fronts: as a superhero story, comedy, and legal stories. I had seen her in Avengers, West Coast Avengers, a long run in Fantastic Four, Hulk, and a few odd appearances but not a subscription to her own title...

For me that is the lawyer scenes. Daredevil with the punisher in court and She-Hulk were disappointing. I disagree on b, I was on board with him hearing and feeling the vibrations of the safe combination lock, this was jarring because it didn’t seem a thing that would work with touch.

Oerth Journal 17 3.5 Skulltwister: The skulltwisters origins date back to many millennia ago when the clerics of the dread god, Tharizdun first came into opposition with the other gods of Oerth. The skulltwister was formed from the dark entropy of the Abyss, the larcenous vileness of the Nine...

Early mistake, waiting for an appropriate moment before letting a new PC or a replacement PC enter the game and the flow of the game situation not presenting one. I felt really bad about having someone sit around for hours as the group kept not getting to a meetup place. I have since made it a...

Wisdom of the Drylanders 3.5 Undead: ? Undead Laborer: ? Ghost: ? Animated Skeleton: ? Zombie: ? Stalker, Invisible Monster, Undead Mindbender, Corporeal Undead: ? Dwarven Banshee: Vows are aims that are associated with a specific penalty. A dwarf may vow: I will neither eat nor drink nor sleep...

Villages of the Wastes 3.5 Undead, Undead Creature, Undead Monster: ? Undead of Mythic Appetite: ? Ghost of Ancient Ancestor: ? Villager Fael: The only outside relations the villagers of Segovara had and will still have in the future are with the caravans of House Rees. A caravan would come from...

It was also only listen that explicitly had the same 1st level thief chances for everyone in 1e and B/X Basic which did not have the discretionary spend percentages for thieves. 1e in the DMG it says everyone has a (really poor) d20 chance based on race which as percentages match up to the thief...
