I think you are missing what actually needs to be done for a +1. The flow chart goes vaguely like this: Do I have a bonus? What type of bonus is it? Do I already have a bonus of that type? Are there any situations going on that negate this bonus? Is there anything going on that modifies this...

The adding of various numbers for bonuses, and not stacking things which can't stack is just a more mathematical version of the flow chart you describe. It's the easiest of such examples to point to, and the most simple of them.

I just saw the movie Ant-man, and I have to ask. Does the idea of a "molecule" which "reduces the amount of space between atoms", sound like nonsense to a physicist as much as it did to me?

Ok thanks. I'll just attribute it to some sort of ethereal "friction" and "surface tension" then. I'm trying to understand what keeps things attached to the flat or curved space, that they stick to the contours at all.

When people talk about the TV Show Sliders, they say it takes place on "Earth". Not on "Parallel Universes", even though thats what it is.

Is there a page that shows all of them and where to buy them?

I was a bit surprised by the Google Ngram results. (Unfortunately they only go up to 2008)...

Thanks! Learn something new everyday... However, my question just now shifts to what causes the "freefall". I imagine that if you take a ball and funnel into space, and push the ball around the edge, that without some other force, (like blowing on it), the ball would just spin out of the funnel...

On the basic level no. There is a higher level ability which allows the recipient to respond back telepathically.

No. You do not have to take a turn for the turn you had to end. Take a turn = act during your turn. Have a turn = a turn that you can call yours. It does mean that anything that happens when you "take your turn" may not happen if you are unable to take it.

I would double check that. I'm pretty sure that taking turns in exploration is mentioned as an option.

This means that when you take your turn, while doing other things, you can also communicate. Presumably, a surprised creature is shocked into silence. (Which is pretty important if an Assassin is to be able to assassinate somebody without a shout being let out to alert guards) Regarding the...

Every turn has a begining middle and end, whether you take the turn or not. The question for assassination is if you take your turn, not if you had one to take. Your turn ends when you delcare your turn to be done, and people wait patiently for you to finish. At the end of that, you do things...

Point 4 is telling you that everybody who is able to take a turn, does so in initiative order. And normally, everybody is given the opportunity to take the turn. Point 5, then uses language which shows acknowledgement that some people may not have been able to take their turn. (Especially if...

I'll try this one more time. Point 4 says that everyone is allowed to *TAKE* a turn. Point 5 says that once everyone has *HAD* a turn. It does not say, "once everyone has *TAKEN* a turn". The Assassinate ability, requires a creature to have *TAKEN* a turn... Not *HAD* a turn, or *HAVE* a...

Unless you can show me where it's clear that you can take a turn without taking any action, I'm not going to change my mind. Not have a turn, or had, or happen upon, or given, or experience a turn, but take a turn without being able to take any actions.

How does Einstein's theory of bent space for gravity work, when there is no "gravity" acting on the object to keep it in the well created by the bent space-fabric?

Thanks for reminding me where I got the idea from in the first place !

You can't take an action, therefore you have not taken a turn. It's very simple. Not only does it make more sense that way, but it plays smoother that way, and it doesn't lead to any complications that way. Your way of reading it breaks the narrative, makes the game more complicated, and...

There is no doubt that everybody rolls initiative even those who are surprised. What I don't agree with is the interpretation which reads, "that hasn’t taken a turn in the combat yet." doesn't include people who have not acted on their turn. If you can not act on your turn, then I say your...
