    D&D General Why I love Point Buy or Array when creating a PC

    I enjoy rolling, then allowing players to pick from ANY set. Allows the variance and inspiration of rolling, while eliminating imbalance between players. It does make the average stats of your party higher, but that is easily compensated for on my side of the screen. Plus, you can always put a...

    D&D General Wishing Away The Adventure

    I think the intent is the world can change, but the wizard does not. But it would be hilarious if a bunch of wizardz gets forced into an alternate dimension every time someone else casts wish, and they have to plane shift back to figure out who the fark did it and why!

    D&D General Wishing Away The Adventure

    In one article of The Wizards Three, from Dragon Magazine, they wisely comment something along the lines of: "The first wish any wizard makes is immunity to wish."

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    That's entirely fair. There are some very real and major issues in BG3, the inventory system being the most frustrating one for me personally. I knew what I was getting into with a background in DOS1 and DOS2 (heck, all the way back to DD but that was a different beast), but for a game like BG3...

    Alternatively, you can be kind and encourage a welcoming environment for new and old posters alike. I always find your posts clever and informative so I can only ask you to stay positive. Please don't attack, discredit, or disparage others outside of jest. The last two paragraphs I agree with...

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    Please do not acuse me of being dishonest or calculating when a far simpler explanation is that we had different experiences. The only timed event I found tricksy was Grymforge, since that seems to lock you in the moment you start exploring the zone with no indication there is a time issue until...

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    There are no issues with taking abundant rests, as long as you haven't started a timed event. Timed events are uncommon and fairly obvious, like a town in flames, a bunch of gnolls threatening lives, or a prophetic dream telling you to hurry up or poison will kill people. Timed events generally...

    It has nice synergy with Spirit Guardians, letting your Cleric carry the blindess with them while they dash around the battlefield. And the res is cute on the few occasions your Cleric gets punished for being deep in enemy lines. But otherwise I agree.

    Yes! This is a Baldur's Gate tradition, gosh darnit. At least you can exert authority over Minsc to make him murder Jaheira, then Boo, then use Speak With Dead to hear him weeping for his dead friends. Mercer must have loved voice acting those lines.

    The most blatant Fade to Black ever. :D

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    I personally recommend the Shattered Flail from the Gnoll Boss + Periapt of Wound Closure. It's a rock solid +2 one hander with an occasionally iritating drawback that lets your melee straight up solo many fights. A hasted Fighter can easily regain 36 HP on an action surge at 5th Level...

    Halsin, if you want. He has a thing for drow.

    You can. Once she has had her special night with you, she is up for sharing. Including a 5 way with the drow. Thus is true for both good AND evil Shart.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ending movement in occupied square?

    Unrelated to OP's specific scenario, what do people rule when a flying creature stops flying over an enemy creature's square, or jumps at an enemy's square, or is thrown into an enemy's square?

    D&D General better dark elves?

    So much fuss could have been avoided if they just used the word Culture from the beginning. Not all the fuss, but a nice chunk of it.

    It works, but it's clear it's not intended. Minthara and Halsin will overlap each other in several places, like your camp, and some cutscenes. You can also download one of the Minthara Mods. One prevents Minty from dying during the siege (even if you try) so you can recruit her later. The other...

    Probably just not taking a side in the Druid/Goblin conflict. Never talk to Minthara, leave the area and the Grove will complete its ritual. Halsin dies, the Tieflings get killed on the road, but you had nothing to do with it. You keep Wyll and Karlach too. There's plenty of XP to still hit max...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Audience - Do you feel like you're the target audience?

    I'm the opposite. I enjoy setting books for the lore and almost never use adventure modules, because it is ten thousand times easier to remember things I make up myself than the things in an adventure. It takes me less time to make an adventure than learn someone else's. That said, I'm happy...
