    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Apropos of nothing, when I talk about "slippery slopes," y'all should probably know the only slope I really mean is the one where people start disagreeing with me, and then it just continues with their disagreement. Which I try my best to prevent, since I am always right about everything I say...

    They were manufactured. About nine months in the forge and a few decades of tempering afterwards!

    D&D General Modrons should be terrifying

    I don't know. They really look like they were inspired by a DM who lacked monster minis but had plenty of dice around...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Hate Monks (Less Than I Currently Do)

    Interestingly, when Keith Baker, the creator of Eberron, was building an Eberron artificer for an Eberron game (before either the Eberron books or artificer class were available in 5E) he did it was a cleric, since the cleric abilities fit what he was trying to make his artificer do: a character...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Hate Monks (Less Than I Currently Do)

    Speaking seriously, I don't know that this is 100% correct. A player who wants to play a priest will generally build a cleric, but the game doesn't specify that you must. And NPCs are not built like player characters, and, while they may have powers derived from PC class abilities, they do not...

    Among the many vast improvements to the game provided by 2nd edition, clerics were renamed "priests," devils were renamed "baatezu," and demons were renamed "tanar'ri".

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I didn't "break" any rules! I just voiced my support for a leader of a large nation, the grandfather of a wonderful girl, and altogether a job creator, who therefore has even more right to be here and throw their weight around than absolutely anyone else, a real prince who deserves to be on a...

    You can still see artifacts. "AI" image generation still doesn't usually "understand" buttons, or two things not occupying the same volume of space.

    I would argue Paladin comes up as often as cleric -- if you hear someone say "cleric" in conversation, chances are they're talking D&D.

    My condolences. There were several this past holiday season that hit too close to home for me. For those who visit other boards, you might remember Lisa Nadazdy, who frequently posted comments meant to provoke conversation and amuse the readers; their avatar was Stephanie from Lazytown, and...

    Paladin has a more specific meaning in English than even "cleric" or "thief" -- the Paladins were the Twelve Peers of Charlemagne, twelve legendary knights who, possibly even in their own lifetimes, had achieved renown and were reputed to have almost-supernatural powers, granted by God.

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Hate Monks (Less Than I Currently Do)

    I'm not sure how to feel about this statement. The Gygax-Arneson model is so advanced, in its first edition form it precisely models how the world works. Everyone knows this. This is another head-scratcher. The revised Gygax-Arneson model also correctly classifies all people into exactly three...
