I think minions work exceptionally well as is for their intended purpose. They are supposed to either fill in the corners of an otherwise normal encounter or act as a large mass of meat-shields for the real meat of an encounter. Making any changes to when and how minions die is really going to...

Are you serious..? You're seriously telling someone to nevermind what's being talked about, just mind what we've told you. That kind of blind allegiance is something the general public usually reserves for the Federal Government! In all seriousness, policy discussion is an important indicator...

Depends on what the other half is...

If I knew anything about how to make it happen I'd offer my help, but I haven't the faintest clue how accomplish it.

Thanks Asmor, your work is awesome. I was trying to create a parcel generator for a program called Table Smith, though I think I am going to abandon that now since yours works so perfectly and has a lot more options than I had ever hoped to include in my simple little table. One feature I'd...

You don't have an excel file like this for the PHB do you?

Appleseeth, first off great stuff. Very impressive. I was working on a random treasure generator for the Table Smith program but you were a little more dedicated than me, I only made it to level 10 with coding in the treasure parcels, and decided to take an extended break from working on the...

Stormer, a few things... First, I will admit that I am biased because I love the new minion system. I think it makes things a lot easier for the DM and it also provides *all* characters, regardless of damage output, the ability to one-shot something in the game. It's a rather superficial...

Multiple-Attribute Dependency/Dependent, I didn't know that myself until a month or so ago. In general it means that the class relies too much on more than one stat in order to succeed. I still don't understand why the world is so acronym crazy, lazy us!

Have you played a paladin in a session yet, or is your opinion based off just having read over the class? My first suggestion to you, if you haven't done this, is to go roll one up as best as you can to your perceived image of a paladin and then try it in at least a couple sessions. After...

Well, that's unfortunate. I thought it was a rather interesting mechanic when interpreted the other way and really made implements a lot more useful. Well, shoot, maybe we'll just house-rule it the other way in our campaign :heh:

Did you even read my post, SadisticFishing? The PHB does define what an attack is by defining what an attack result is.

Based on the text there, I'd say that Cloud of Daggers does kill minions. To me, the statement next to a minions HP figure is a general rule stating something in a very broad and undefined way. The Minion entry in the back of the MM is a much more specific definition of how Minion HP work, and...

I'm with SableWyvern, really seemed to me that he was just trying to get a clarification on his confusion about the rule. He admitted right in his post he might be doing it wrong, why do we need to jump all over the guy for trying to make sure he's playing as the rules are intended?

True that.

I'm with Eleran here, most people have made some very reasonable arguments here based in logic. Derren and co. just choose to see the world from a very different perspective than the rest of us. Try not to feel the need to beat them upside the head till they agree with your perspective, just...

Sounds like it was fun! I'm thinking of using a dragon early in my PC's careers as well, your experience will help me adjust that some. Thanks for posting, good story.

I like it, nice!

keterys, You seem to be very convinced that there's some rule somewhere that spells out the specific question of momentum conservation. Where in the book does it say anything, one way or the other, about momentum conservation? As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the books that gives a...

I really like how some people are actually discussing the question, but I have to say I'm a little disappointed at some peoples' demands that other adopt their "obviously superior" opinions. I think including the science of the real-life effects of teleportation into a decision will help some...
