"Yes. Tell us what we need -- you have your volunteers." Tommi adjusts the borrowed belt. But then it occurs to him: "If you know this, then why the wait?What has caused the delay?"

The Shillelagh spell has a number of restrictions. It doesn't work with a Greatclub, for instance. Given that, I would not allow it to be used with improvised weapons at all (which is what the butt-of-musket use is). Does musket-as-club even get a proficiency bonus? I'm not even sure --...

But it was more than that -- because of the racial hit dice, you were also ALWAYS behind on your skills, etc.By "softening" the blow of absent hit dice with the monster levels, the system guaranteed that you were worse at your job than any PHB species with the same number of "levels" (even...

Level Adjustment was the subject of my first post to these boards! I have strong views! The LA system in 3.5 was robust, but it was implemented alongside racial hit dice (= effectively default levels in "humanoid"), and that gave two dials to adjust, not just one. In theory that was good, but...

"It's okay, buddy," whispers Tommi to Lionel, "we'll find 'em." Tommi looks back to Darktreader. "What leads are there, sir?"

Gratitude is immediately apparent on Tommi's face. "Scrying, yes. But Sending is a good idea too, Morgan. Yes, that seems a good idea."

Tommi makes quick eye-contact with his companions, silently asking whether they knew where Titus and Escella had gone. He bites his lower lip and wrinkles his eyebrow, trying to shrug without moving. Seeing nothing form the others, he speaks up, "I've not seen either of them since we got...

Stealth is only useful if everyone can do it. Trickster cleric is unique in being able to make someone else bettr at sneaking without having to use a second-level spell slot. you wanted skirmisher/movement control. A heavy weapon at reach allows skirmishing. The player gets to roll to hit...

Trickster cleric will absolutely do what you need: bonus for the worst in the party at Stealthing regular advantage in melee option for heavy/reach weapon (but no masteries unless you dip) also works with a crossbow build Light cleric is strong for range between 10 and 30'. Scribe and...

The Colonel is pleased to see Donnell determine a plan, and he works to ensure that it all goes smoothly. The old man is comfortable in the mountain air, and sees no risk in the circumventing of the gate to the north tower.

Tommi makes his way back to the tower and meets up with his friends. Oh-Six hovers near the rooftops, but out of the way, having found that Daggerfordians are often suspicious af hovering metal saucers.

If we are looking for great villains of literature Atreus (in Seneca's Thyestes) should not be overlooked. Not known today, but truly magnificent in his evil revenge.

Ha ha ha. I have messed up. Sorry everyone. The Colonel has the ability to levitate at will, and to cast it once on others, and I thought that would allow for a sneaky entrance. I knew it's concentration, so my sense was we'd have to go in pairs (with Kahru already inside). But that's wrong. I...

The Colonel holds his gaze as Donnell betrays himself with too many questions. All these are things we must discover, he thinks.

The Colonel nods to Utharn as he leaves, and urges the others to come under cover of a nearby overhang, so that the group is out of sight of any eagle rider. "We won't be able to fool them for long, but perhaps if we wait until a while, we shall have further intelligence." Spark, of course, is...

"Do not speak of betrayal," says the Colonel to the nervous Stone Giant, hoping to reassure him. "Your loyalty to your lord is clear, and your concern sincere. And you have my word that we intend no harm to the Thane, nor to the children within. When we return, we shall no longer be ambassadors...

Very happy to have psionics in a game. The not-quite-magic approach is fun, I think -- it allows for worlds where magic is freely practiced but psionics can be verboten. I even like the implementation in 5e, with a small number of feats and a handful of subclasses. As always, though, they...

Going in stealthily is fine, but we need to make clear that we have fulfilled the terms of the oath, and it no longer applies. I think going in to "rescue" the Thane from the non-giant advisors is the way forward.

The colonel stares at Utharn, and does nto draw attention to the unnecessary gesture. He responds aloud, and with what he hopes is credible indignation: "This is an insult to Lord Faldur! An embassy to be turned away at the gates! And now to be escorted away! Well, I never!" The Colonel turns...
