This is how I look at it: an "aimed shot" would be a critical hit- it's implicit your character is trying to deal maximum damage to his target, but since the target is trying to avoid being hit, you can't just state "I attack to bypass the armor" because that's what your character is doing...

Ditto, my first concern over the cancelled AH was "oh, my, I hope they do come up with cool and relevant stuff", because a succession "Elemental (Class)" was going to be dead boring ("Fire Ranger Archetype: your arrows catch fire mid-air and deal +1d6 fire damage"; "Lightning Rogue: your sneak...

In my games, it varies by player and specific topic. All of my players are adults so sex has a place in the game world, but then again none of us is interested in mentioning more than as a passing reference. Rape is always a no-no except as background story/something that happened or the...

My players are loving it, though I had to adjust some encounters due to the fact that (1) there are three players at my table and (2) some encounters IMO are kinda silly (e.g. the two berserkers in the Dragon Hatchery are actually tougher than the boss fight itself!). I had my share of...

I think Paizo should do PF and WotC D&D. Competition is a good thing. Just sayin'!

I'd absolutely love to see Planescape somewhere down the line, but if I had my druthers I'd like to see Dark Sun before.

Mine arrives tomorrow- woo hoo! :D

Ditto. As a player, I don't like groups with evil characters. As a DM, evil characters are IME trouble in the long run- the only evil PC I allowed tried to betray the party and was killed by the other PCs, straining player relations at the tal.e

Hi, everybody! I'm about to start running Rise of Tiamat during March after a short hiatus, and my players loved (my slightly tweaked version of) Hoard so much that we've talked about stretching the module up to 17th or 18th level Right now my plan is to expand some of the plot hooks listed in...

I also would've loved some new subclasses. My guess is that new subclasses will show up in an adventure-agnostic supplement, probably announced by GenCon. Just guessing, though!

Well, I'll grant WocT that THEY didn't announce the product- somewhere along the way, both books were merged into one and it was decided the player content would be up for free. I'm really cool with this. PS: Also, Genasi FTW! :D

Man, I was really sure he said "doesn't preclude"- I guess this is a typo, because he's wrong about it. You can use your Action for anything but casting a spell that is not a cantrip, cast a spell as a Bonus Action and cast a spell as a Reaction.

I don't understand how they contradict each other. Both say you can do it- Mearls just mentioned that you can only move on your turn, not as part of the reaction.

IMO, the "chapels" are protrusions on the top portion of the ceiling, so you'd need to be flying the reach them. That said, I think this should've been Tiamat's temple description.

I don't think orcs associate with demon lords that much- they have their own pantheon of evil gods, but they're not demons. If I had to a tribe of orcs trucking with a demon lord, though, I'd go with Orcus- just for the sake of the pun :P

I really dig it, though I liked the DMG better of the core books. Lots of nice things in the MM, though!

I haven't used it, but if I had my way I'd ask players to spend Inspiration -which is a limited resource- instead of unlimited Plot Points. They'll think twice before adding something to the plot for the kicks.

Halfling Rogue character whose name was erased from History. While running LMoP for the first time, the player declared his character would try to rob everybody while they slept and join the goblins at Cragmaw Cave. The goblins ate him.

Players who are on a power trip and whose characters consistently try to cow everybody into submission, giving free stuff, etc. Players who attack PCs (or even NPCs) because they "feel like it" without provocation or reason.

Man, if I were you I'd kick the offending player out- PvP is not cool with me, and definitely not the reason I play TRPGs.
