Probably the most iconic of the bunch:

Here's another:

This is one of my favorites:

I'm not sure if I follow this line of reasoning. Who decides it's more valuable to be the guy who remembers things about magic and the other planes than it is to be the guy who remembers things about the natural world, or the guy who can navigate, track, hunt, and forage, or the guy who can keep...

Is this for a D&D game? 5th Edition? If so, you are correct that "you believe them" is not the best way to narrate a successful result of an NPC's check. In fact, if a PC's belief is in doubt, rather than call for a check, the player has the authority to decide one way or the other because they...

I think this is highly group dependent. The DM and players are empowered to make any skill relevant and valuable.

It's a fine skill for a character who succeeds in social interactions by making threats. I really don't see how it can be considered worse than other skills.

This sounds like a 400 XP encounter, assuming three zombies, so it's a medium difficulty encounter and well within the daily budget for a party of four 3rd-level characters. Depending on how fresh they are, they should be fine.

Yes, moving out is allowed. Conceptually, moving through a space is entering that space, so entering a space with difficult terrain costs two spaces of speed whereas entering a normal space only costs one.

My feeling about the class and level limitations, which go back to OD&D, is they're intended to promote a narrative in which demihumans are in a supportive role as avuncular tutors and helpers to humans who are the main heroes. Gimli and Legolas to Aragorn being an example from fiction. Beleg to...

Narrating the effects of PC failure is something I enjoy doing when I DM. However, I don't try for a farcical tone in my games. For ability checks, a failure result is going to follow from the established fiction which has put something at stake leading up to the roll. For failed attack rolls, I...

Khaled Nabhan, the Palestinian grandfather whose story was shared with millions around the world last November after Israel murdered his grandchildren, was killed early this morning by a strike on the Nuseirat camp.

Powergaming is just a technique your players are using to make their characters and themselves more effective in what's seen as a competitive arena (the game). It can lead to dysfunction if everyone isn't on board. If that's not what you're into, tell your players you want a game that's more...

I'm not sure what you mean by "metaphysically valid", so I'm not sure if my response would count as refusing the premise, but I think it would be valid or reasonable, even justified, for the muscular neutrals to not believe/trust/have faith that "good" will result from the triumph of good and...

The DMG, p 30, under "Mercenary Soldier:", states, "regular soldiers are 0 level men-at-arms with 4-7 hit points each." This subsumes any Constitution bonus to hit points (the range for normal men being 1-6 hp), so you don't need Constitution scores for these characters and can simply assign an...

Palestinian orthopedic surgeon Dr. Saeed Jouda has died after he was shot by an Israeli sniper in northern Gaza.
