Eh... I'm not really a good person to discuss the block feature with, considering I think the forum would actually benefit from it being entirely removed - the no one can, intentionally or otherwise, use it as a means to hide their uncouth or inappropriate behavior, no one can turn the forum...

I have a question for mellored, that I do not intend to sound condescending or ignorant so I will apologize for either or both before even asking; I am sorry. Would the following step-by-step approach to building a warlord character in the same ballpark as an 11th level bard work for you, and...

Credit where credit is due, it appears to have been Oofta, not me, that actually brought fire into the discussion (he said, fully expecting the universe to make him look a fool by it having been someone before that to mention fire vs. hut in this thread and he inadvertently missed it when...

The hut doesn't allow things in or out based on who is holding it; the only check to determine if something can pass through the hut freely is whether it is a creature or object that was within the dome when the spell was cast - and that doesn't change no matter how many times a creature or...

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing something about the block feature not always hiding posts of users you've blocked if you are on the forum via mobile, rather than computer. So it's not necessarily a "grimy action"; It could simply be that someone put you on their block list, but forgot or...

Polearm-wielding sorcerers are not a thing I have seen often, but I certainly think they are cool. One of the (very few because I'm 'afflicted' by the DM's curse so thoroughly as to have played less characters than years I've been a table-top gamer despite once going through 7 characters in a...

You were quoted as saying "That list is both misleading and, frankly, wrong-headed. I see no point to such an exercise in futility.", and the body of the post was "How so?"

I'd been thinking of leaving it at the damage and properties it has in the book, but adding a new special property to it reminiscent of the Skewer trait it was given in the BECMI/Rules Cyclopedia weapon master rules (which allowed the wielder to choose to leave the weapon stuck in a hit...

"Invulnerable" is a bit of an overstatement. Weapons that come out of the hut can go back in, so if the baddies on the outside get a hold on some of said weapons they can attack with them, though that will probably be at disadvantage (or possibly auto-miss by picking the wrong space to attack)...

That's not completely accurate. Darts are classified as thrown (they have the thrown property). And the thrown property means "If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack." (Though yes, it does also have an extra bit of meaning in the specific case of...

The book says "melee attack with a weapon" for greenflame blade and booming blade. Whoever put the info into whatever wiki you are looking at must have made an error. You are welcome. I'm glad to help a fellow DM whenever I can. I've got a rules-stickler at my table too, but we've developed a...

I've just noticed while referencing the book to make sure I'm not saying anything untrue that both greenflame blade and booming blade both use the same "make a melee attack with a weapon" phrasing, so there isn't actually any way to use an unarmed strike with either of them - making my earlier...

"Melee attack with a weapon" = no unarmed strike because it's not a weapon. "Melee weapon attack" = yes unarmed strike because it is explicitly allowed by the rules despite not being a weapon.

Yeah, keeping language naturalistic and free of jargon gets pretty much not likely once you start having rules interact with other rules directly but only under limited circumstances.

The 5th edition game divides up all attack rolls with two categories and two types, so that any attack roll made should be one, and only one, of the following four things: melee weapon attack, ranged weapon attack, melee spell attack, ranged spell attack. It then separately classifies weapons...

Hussar, I know it isn't intentional on your part, but I wanted to make sure you are aware; there is a kind of "Why aren't people up in arms about stopping things they like from being added to the game?" vibe that can be read in your questions of why someone would speak out against including X...

I've seen ability checks in each of the last dozen combat encounters I've run. Not really relevant, I guess, but I felt like sharing.

Seems really well-informed to act like Vampire: the Masquerade was the first foray into story/character-driven, non-combat role-playing. Everybody knows 1991 came around before 1981, so the Masquerade clearly predates Call of Cthulhu. Every step this new White Wolf makes seems to carry them...

This statement is wildly inaccurate. I dropped 4th edition for reasons that have nothing at all to do with the warlord (or at least, no more to do with the warlord than to do with any other class). You should try not to use sweeping generalizations like this, because it can make everything...

Will do, but I'm currently only at the very initial stages of the project (the ones that look a lot like I haven't started it at all), and it's a lower priority that other projects I'm working on (converting a few hundred Scarred Lands monsters to 5e, painting a few hundred miniatures, and a few...
