This is actually a great example of different strokes for different folks, with no one way being better than the other. And to be clear, I'm not implying you were passing judgement on how others play the game. :) But anyway, looking at your slippery wall example and speaking only for myself...

Yeah, I'd allow it. First of all, unless I'm missing something... and could be, there's nothing in the rules that says this doesn't work, so why stop it? And secondly, the characters are expending resources to do this, so again, why not? It's not like they're getting this damage boost for...

Woah, there's a lot of stuff mentioned in some of these posts I don't think I've ever heard of or if I had they've been long forgotten because they're options that didn't see a lot of play. None of that matters of course, this is basically a wish-list thread, so the more the merrier. That...

It might be fun for some people if you implemented a rule like that. That's kind of the whole point of the thread, to a degree, optional rules that might emphasize a particular facet someone finds interesting. No one here is claiming their way is the way to play. Just a way. At least that's the...

Short & sweet: this rule isn't my cup of tea. We just run RAW when it comes to knocking opponents unconscious. While I don't like it, that doesn't make it bad and it's not necessarily something that would chase me away from your table either. That said, it seems like it works well for the...

There's a lot to respond to here and I'm posting from my phone, so please bear with me since formatting and proofreading are a nightmare. I never said people would be dropping like flies and putting words in my mouth or using hyperbole to make your point do you no favors. I simply stated a...

Because we're not talking about being "slightly warm". Because out here in the real world heatstroke is a thing that drops people who aren't trekking through a jungle wearing a tin can. At the end of the day this is all about how much "realism" people want to inject into their games. Some want...

See, in situations like this I like to just boil off all the dreck and just get right to the pith of what the players intent is within the context of the situation. That's a fairly vague statement, but it's meant to be because we can all spend eternity changing the variables to suit our own...

Oh yeah, I get that. I saw your earlier post. What I meant was whether or not the AP will give us an idea of just how hot it actually is in a Chultan jungle. For example, even with a whopping 90% relative humidity the air temperature needs to be 85 degrees before the heat index breaks 100...

Actually it does matter. Heat index bro. Higher humidity causes your body to feel much warmer than the actual air temperature would indicate. If it's 85 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% relative humidity, it feels like it's about 86 degrees, which is to say not especially noticeable. Now bump that...

I believe in one of the recent previews, possibly the Fantasy Grounds preview, it was shown that heavy armor will be four time more expensive to purchase in ToA. Now, whether or not they penalize heavy armor use any further remains to be seen, but there is that. Unless I hallucinated it...

So, I feel terrible for what I'm about to do... It feels too much like a drive-by attempt to stir the pot... But those of you making the claim, and I'm paraphrasing here, "What's with me casting Charm Person and then flying away ten feet?!?" You do realise it's an optional move that requires...

In home games, assuming you have an amenable DM, getting rid of thieves cant or perhaps an unwanted tool proficiency shouldn't be too hard when swapping out on a one-for-one basis. Recall that backgrounds are mutable in that sense, so doing the same with class ribbons that grant a language or...

No worries. It essentially is what I'm saying. It's what I always try to say. The different ways people play this game may as well be endless. Everything from minor stuff like this, what races or classes they allow, to full-blown overhauls of some part of the game a group feels is especially...

And I don't. I'm not sure what other response you'd like nor do I have any idea what the rest of what you wrote has to do with anything given my rather plainly stated opinion. I don't care what the invisible creature is carrying. I don't care if what it's carrying is invisible or visible. I...

Firstly, and I mean no disrespect, but I haven't a clue what you're on about? You seem to be muddling up several parts of my post and so I'm not entirely sure what it is you're taking issue with. That said, I'll see if I can't clarify anyway. Take the wand, or any other carried object out if...

This is one of those situations that is likely to be ruled differently depending on the group you're playing with. While there's obviously going to be plenty of overlap in how some of us would rule, the thread clearly shows that everyone is going to interpret such a convoluted situation...

I tried folks, I really did. I'm the sort of poster who prefers to read the entire thread before posting anything, but holy hell, this one was a beating. Within the first few pages I couldn't tell what the he'll was happening, by the teens it was like banging my head against a wall, and by the...

It's not a bad question to ask. I voted once a month and our sessions run a minimum of eight hours with more than that not unheard of. Finding a day that we're all free is difficult so when it happens we make the most of it. If we could meet twice as often... yeah, we'd probably play half as...

Hi, I'm a complete REDACTED player of the worst kind. I'm going to break your game if I want to. Want to restrict feats? Go ahead. Want to cut some of the classes? You do you boss. Going to go whole-hog and restrict alignments to good only? Sweet. I'm gonna break your game if I want to. End...
