You are being generous with "mediocre at best" [emoji57] but I'm talking about optimism vs pessimism. How good a movie turns out has everything to do with who makes it, not what has been done before by some no name production company on a $25000 budget. Hasbro sued Sweetpea to get out of their...

I like your idea! Hacking the "header" is a cool concept. How about a DDOS flavored meta magic? Spend a sorcery point to interrupt another caster's access to the weave if you land a spell attack on them. It would be, in effect like Silence, but not actually silence them, and it would only last...

Here. Here! Thank you for having the bravery to be positive. I personally agree with you 100% and I sick to death of people complaining and bitching. When I was DMing at the game store this past Wednesday, the owner announced to all the players that there was a D&D movie coming out. Collectively...

I saw this coming a mile away

Okay fine, but IMO they could line up better than they do. On the overland map, Sacred Stone Monastery is south of Rivergard Keep. But the Temple of the Black Earth is actually north of the Temple of the Crushing Wave. That's backwards. The underground stream from RK to ToCW is described as...

I'm not sure why you need labels "on" the map when the whole dungeon is keyed. The connections are explained well enough IMO. The only gotcha that I would point out is that once you do have this mega dungeon laid out, the haunted keeps with their individual entrances to these underground levels...

It can be. The book tells you the recommended levels for each keep and each temple quadrant. I forget which keep is the most advanced, but iirc it's Scarlet Moon Hall. So you could drop that it there.

Or you could just allow any caster casting a spell of "until the start/end of your next turn" duration to have the option of holding their initiative until the end of the next round.

Okay I get. I guess an alternative would be to track the equivalent of a full round. So if there are 4 PCs and 2 monster groups, a spell that was supposed to last until the caster's next turn could be said to last for 6 turns. Hmm. In the case of a caster casting a spell that is no longer...

Actually my comment was for both, but speaking of Dodge specifically, to me, taking the dodge action means assuming a defensive posture. Initiative order is an abstraction of a character's reaction time. So to me if a player chooses to have her character take the Dodge action and then she rolls...

I had to read this a couple times to understand why you would do that, but I get your reasoning, and it actually sounds kind of cool. Hmm, not sure I understand this though. Seems like it defies initiative. Can you explain your reasoning for doing it that way?

I couldn't disagree more. Players love earning xp for overcoming challenges. And it's validation that they are making smart choices. It matters a lot more in a sandbox, like PotA than in a railroady adventure. Players can affect their own rate of advancement by taking on bigger challenges. Why...

Sure, if the other guy (In-between guy) told me, "I'll be keeping a low posture so the polearm guy can be more effective", then I probably would not give polearm guy disadvantage. Good on them for working together! But using both ends of your polearm against a foe that is 10' away from you...

So as I said, I would apply disadvantage in certain situations like this, and one of the things I would take into consideration for making that call is whether they were wielding a pole axe or a spear. Just like with any weapon, there are going to be advantages and disadvantages. Otherwise...

I highly doubt you read my entire reasoning or that you can follow a logical argument. You ignore almost all of it and focus on the part that I said was inapplicable with a definition of obscure pulled fro who knows where. Buh bye and good riddance.

Feel free to contact the proper authorities and have me removed from Wednesday nights at my FLGS. There is a line a mile long of potential DMs chomping at the bit to have my table (not). If the AL needs a good rules lawyer to try my case I assume they have your number.

That hilarious because to me the errata proves my point, not yours. In fact, when I first read it I praised Jesus for an end to all the argument. I'll paste it here exactly so we can examine it. "Hiding (p. 177). The DM decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding. Also, the question...

Check out the movie Unicorn City. It has the exact same plot.

So he clearly sees you ATTEMPT to hide by going behind your ally. Now, even though another halfling racial ability allows you to move through medium creatures' legs, he no longer has line of sight on you. Okay fine. But he KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE whether he can see you or not. Your attempt to hide...

If you have a more specific example, then give me a link. Not going to wade through a bunch of LARPing vids to try and make your point for you.
