Oh, tell me about it. There's so many idiots on here who think the white zone is for loading and unloading.

Well, you never know. Lots of good books have bad sequels.

My top three would be: Leia Kade Carrion (Element of Fire by Martha Wells) Ista dy Challion (Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold)

Just finished The Wellstone by Wil McCarthy. It turns out to be the second book in a series, and I hadn't read the first. It seemed to be much later than the first book, and rather independent of it. It's science fiction about a utopia that has conquered need and death. It had some interesting...

My apologies. I misread the vibe.

Whoops, missed that.

It's as strong or stronger than any evidence you've given. I would add that Crawford has said that spells only do what they say they do, and nothing else. It doesn't say you get the Attack action, so you don't get one. Edit: took out stuff that made it personal.

Flame blade is 3d6 (avg 10.5) and shadow blade is 2d8 (avg 9). Flame blade is a druid spell, while shadow blade is sorcerer/warlock/wizard. Shadow blade has better upcasting (d8 vs d6).

Sounds like a dwarf cleric to me. You fight well into the structure of the religious hierarchy, and you are like to debate theology. It would probably be a war god, maybe a life god or something else physical.

First of all, it doesn't say it's the Attack action, so why should I assume it is? Second, that's the exact same language used in every spell. The project image spell say you can "use your action" to move the illusion, which is not an attack. Finally, it's not exactly what you can do with the...

Five people arguing from five different positions based on five different rulings that are not in the rules. This is not going to go well. And I thought this was Friday, not Tuesday.

Actually, the Christmas decorations have already gone up. These days it's starting to feel more like the beginning of our Christmas festivities.

We have a collection of funny phone responses from my octogenarian mother, who is really bad with technology. The best to me was when I texted her "I'll be there soon." and she responded "You better be," because that was one of the options on her apple watch. The best of all time was when my...

Meditation helps with that.

This was a subject of much discussion at my sister's place today, and was of particular interest to a rather hungry niece. So I thought I would see what other people do.

Yes, all RPG design can be explained by the fact that everyone is out to get you.

RAW, no, because you cannot choose to fail a save unless the effect specifies that you can.

The thing I wondered about the friendly hour was who is it friendly to. If it is friendly to the owner of the iron flask, that could get interesting. But the wording says to me that it is friendly to whoever released it from the flask.

I concur with Snarf that it is allowed by RAW. My thought is: does the elemental recognize this as an iron flask? If it's like the standard air/earth/fire/water elemental in the MM, it's probably not bright enough to realize it's an iron flask and what it can do. However, if it is a smarter...

Say you got $5,000 to spend. And say you got more than that, and you already took care of any savings, investment, or charity concerns you need to take care of. You have $5,000 to spend on fun stuff. What would you buy?
