I would disagree. :) Balors in the 5e 13 MM are "Figures of ancient and terrible evil, balors rule as generals over demonic armies, yearning to seize power while destroying any creatures that oppose them[/B]." while "Vrocks are dull-witted, capricious fiends that live only to create pain and...

Terrors of Athas 3.5 Defiled: The defiled are plants that have been almost destroyed thanks to the actions of a defiler drawing in plant energy to cast their spells. For unknown reasons, the plant survives the attack and becomes undead. Defiled Bloodgrass: ? Defiled Bloodgrass, Patch of...

The unclear option in 5e commune is for things outside the contacted deity or divine proxy's knowledge. If y/n would be misleading or contrary to the deity's interests there can be a short phrase instead of a yes no. The spell will never generate false answers, but it can fail to answer...

Reviews can be great, when they exist. :) A lot of PDFs I check out don’t have any.

But not “I want to use a demon here, what are the CR appropriate demons again?”

Also the commune and divination spells in various D&D editions often have a cryptic answer option which makes them less absolute answers if the spell answers that way.

I give myself a monthly hobby budget and generally stick with it. I have a ton of things I am interested in and none I really consider must gets. So I generally do a little gut check on how interesting something is to me compared to its price and I often check out sales and bundles for good...

4e uses attack rolls for all things that use saves in other D&D and so using fumbles there it is fairly even application across the board.

In my Freeport D&D pirate game for the city history I had a group of casters known as the Cerulean Circle who specialized in being sea witch ship mages who gave an edge to Freeport ships (pirate, privateer, and mercantile), either enhancing them or accompanying them, and were a factor in making...

Crits show competence with occasional wild card spectacular competence, on both sides. Fumbles show occasional wild card incompetence on both sides. If you want to show competent warriors fighting dangerous foes you use crits only. If you want fog of war friendly fire mishaps you use fumbles...

I do like the idea of a sea god church blessing figureheads so the ship itself has magic resistance. Older editions had things like the permanent Druidic ironwood spell.

Crits are both a reward and a punishment in themself. You inflict them but they also are inflicted upon you. Not including fumbles is just a style preference choice, not a double standard.

I don’t think that would help until you max them out at +5s and so on. The incentive would still be to max out the core items where you can. So getting a +2 weapon quickly instead of a +1 weapon and something quirky.

Template Troves, Volume I: Serpents, Spiders & Godlings Web Enhancement 3.5 Undead, Undead Creature: ?

In my campaign setting I go with an Eberron type setup where clerics get divine power but not direct grants from gods (if they even exist or not). There is an imperial civil war going on with the state henotheistic church sort of splitting over the head of the church (Ptolus Lothian Church...

A couple pain points for me, are things like high level save and bab imbalances leading to some character imbalances, monster and NPC prep, spell stacking. I would like: Trailblazer style phantom attack bonuses for rogues and monks to keep them competitive at physical combat strikes and flat...

Sometimes? My two PBP games on here were Death in Freeport which mentions the module name in the title and my Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw game which mentions the setting and theme but not any of the modules I was running. I usually pitch a game based on the theme or setting. The last time...
