His task completed, Tommi thanks the Marshal, and says "C'mon Carl." He clicks his cheek twice and grabs the halter, and swings up onto what appears to be a delapidated well-worn saddle. As he leaves, he turns to the Marshall and says, "We'll see you soon." As soon as Lionel is set, they head...

Tommi nods and shrugs, as if that were obvious. "It's easier to find them if they come to us..." he offers, one eyebrow raised. Tommi isn't pressing this: they have a mission, and they're trying to help here, but time is short and if this gambit doesn't work hell move on. (I myself don't like...

"We thank you, sir," said Tommi, dipping his head. "And if it's not too much to ask, sir, a riding pony would ensure we dealt with them as soon as we could." He adjusts Gutter, hanging from a loop on his borrowed belt. Tommi feels the blade vibrate, and he imagine that it thirsts for...

Quick thoughts: Aritficer: reanimator. Really fun idea. You should need a corpse to make a companion. Bard: spirits. Another hit. Smattering of Wild Magic, with a sepulchral theme. I love how more abilities come online as your bardic die gets bigger. Really fun design. Cleric: grave...

Way back in the playtests leading up to the 2014 PHB, I was arguing for this as the defining feature of Rogues -- instead of extra skills. (It would be different now that there are feats and no feature.)

No one thinks you're a slacker. You're understandably busy. We're here when you're ready!

This could be fun, and it would reward investing in Intelligence. This is one place where people will try to fudge things. I would be strict about this -- one empty hand required to hold the scroll and (RAW, I believe) a separate hand is required for somatic components for many spells. So this...

I think "gaslit" is wrong: all evidence shows the designers were open to major changes, but those didn't occur. There are a number of reasons. One, as you note, is backwards compatibility. The people who wanted/demanded it were very loud, and I think appeared over represented on the boards. It...

"Our friends are gone," says Tommi as they pass the empty table left by the dwarves. This was a nice place, and the rain-free tables were a delight. Curious, he wonders if he can still see them on the road, whether they are in sight. If not, he doesn't let that delya him. The two meet the...

Tommi hears Lionel's advice,and nods. "Yeah, I know," he says, disappointed with himself. "And you're right. We could talk to the Marshal, and let him know we're heading south anyways. Maybe ask for a riding horse that we'd give back? Say we're stronger than we look." Tommi's voice is almost...

If you have access to UK series, I have enjoyed and re-watched Foyle's War (WW2 detective, on the home front in England) If you're open to more police-based things, for different reasons all of these are worth a try: Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes (police detective goes back to the 1970s...

I'll move this to the OOC thread. If we could buy a Tenser's Floating Disk scroll (50gp?), and brought 50gp [of ink, I presume, though the way it's worded in the PHB it's the money that gets sewn into the spellbook] with 2 hrs work, the scroll could be written into the spellbook. Is this...

"They could be here any day!" Tommi blurts, as the threat to this village hits him. He looks away and then back at the server: "Um, thanks," and he pays her then, tearing into a piee of cheese. Once she's gone, he lays out some possibilities with Lionel: -- they could steal a horse for...

"That's too bad," Tommi says. "But I guess it makes sense. Are trolls coming here? Maybe there's something we can do to help... fend them off, or lure them away..." He wipes the from his lips as he asks. It's an instinct to offer to help. "Is that why everyone is so quiet?" Tommi asks, waving...

It is interesting that the SRD 5.2 is issued only under Creative Commons, sidelining the OGL. Don't know what the wider implications are, but it seems to be a creator-friendly move.

"A couple of pints, please," Tommi said smiling. "And some cheese for my friend..." he adds, thinking the joke is funny. He takes out three silver pieces and places them on the table. When the drinks are delivered, he orders another round, and then says, "I was told it may be possible to buy a...

Tommi thanks Sir Isteval for his advice and takes the small bag with coins inside. He had wanted to purchase the horses himself, so that he felt he was contributing to the expedition, but he also knew his mother would be upset if he disrespected the older man, and in Tommi's experience a lot of...

[just to be clear: we're buying a horse and some pack animals, right?]

"I've got some cash." says Tommi. "I'm happy to go into town an grab a few horses. Anyone want to come with?" He runs his fingers through his hair. "No one knows me here. I'm not, um...." He leaves the thought incomplete. "I could meet you further down the road in a bit."

Who said magic was pretty?
