Today is a good day. A rare event indeed, given the current state of things. But it's a beautiful sunny morning in Portland, Oregon...and I just got an email from my student loan provider, letting me know that two of my student loans have been paid in full. Four down, eleven to go.

"So I can pull the trigger on that trap, but not the trigger on a crossbow? Unfair!"

Ah, well that's something else entirely! I was being pedantic about the mage hand itself, not any objects that the mage hand would be holding. :) (Seriously though: "mage hand" is purely fiction, and doesn't conform to normal physics. I was only goofing around with high school physics here...

Too fast; the hand can only move 5 ft/sec. But what if the hand weighed 10 lbs?

What about impact force? Like, how hard could a Mage Hand slap a pressure plate? What if you have the Mage Hand ball itself up into a fist and pound on a trap's pressure plate at full speed? Surely that would generate the most force, right? After all, jumping up and down on a bathroom scale...

I meant that I have a basic First Aid certification...which, I suppose does cover chainsaw injuries. Sort of.

I haven't read through this whole thread, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned. I've never had a problem with Mage Hand. But if it were, and it had gotten to the point where it was making my game boring, I have ways to work around it. For example, I would set the weight limit of...

Me: "Hmm, that thread keeps showing up at the top of my feed. I wonder how the discussion is going." How The Discussion Is Going:

I love Hopscotch!

Yep, I've seen that in real life. There are probably even more examples than the four presented. I guess what I'm trying to say is, there comes a point when The Game is no longer the problem. For me, that point is when someone's dissatisfaction starts ruining someone else's enjoyment...

Every person is different, and I'm not qualified to diagnose or treat anything more serious than a papercut. But that said: some of my friends have anxiety issues, and they really enjoy online play. There's something about the computer screen that lets them interact with others, without...

This is certainly true, but there's different levels of to it. It's one thing to play a game that wasn't your first choice, but you go along with it and try to keep an open mind because at the end of the day, it's just a game. It's another to agree to play a game that you know you aren't going...

My niece is an aspiring graphic artist, and she's slowly learning the industry (she's in high school). I'll occasionally commission her to create character sketches for my D&D characters, both to help her develop her skills/business acumen, and also because her character sketches are really...

I'm a terrible, terrible person to ask. I never would have predicted the runaway success of The Great British Baking Show. And yet there it is, one of the best and most successful shows of recent years, and from such a humble and simple formula. And before that? No way I could have predicted...

Looks like we're headed toward another Magic: the Gathering-themed setting. https://www.enworld.org/threads/teased-lorwyn-shadowmoor-supplement-crosses-magic-the-gathering-and-d-d.711896/

This came up in my spouse's D&D campaign a couple of years ago. A player wanted to play a small-sized Dwarf, so the DM let him change his size to Small while retaining all of the other stats of a Mountain Dwarf. The only real restriction was that the character wouldn't be able to use Heavy...

Well not with that attitude! :cool: I've used the Custom Lineage rules to make all kinds of playable characters over the years: half-vampires, sirens, a scarecrow, a rose blight, a half-dryad, a satyr (pre-Theros)...it's a lot more robust than people give it credit for. Or to put it another...
