No, I guess you're right. I guess I wasn't really equating these things to cantrips. I guess it violates some verisimilitude in my mind - dude just keeps whisking out vials of acid from a bag that never stops. I guess it's just a flavor thing, but it seems weird to me. What I didn't like was...

Yea, the UA artificer has the same quirky problem with spells on infused items. In that write-up, it doesn't call out how to deal with Concentration spells on infused items. So, it's problematic.

Hmm. This is a long story, but the tl;dr is that my player basically wants a kind of "infuser" class. And I'm not sure what to tell her. So, the longer version is, we started with the UA Artificer, which sucks. For my thoughts on that, see also the UA Artificer thread. For my own peace of mind...

Because 32 pages of threads on this topic aren't enough, I feel inclined to provide my own thoughts. A player in my new campaign asked me if she could play this. I hadn't even seen it, and admittedly I just glanced at what one could do at level one and called it good. But after running with it...

Saw it on Sunday. Two days' later I finally got the reference to "Ben" Solo. Presumably, he's named after Ben Kenobi. I guess... Although Leia doesn't refer to Obi Wan as Ben. R2's message has her asking for "Obi Wan", and Leia never even really interacted with him, and Han only knew him as a...

I'm just gonna leave this here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w

I'd like to run a game again, and while having folks come to my house occasionally in order to do that would be ideal, I know how super challenging that can be. So, I'd like to hear others' thoughts on roll20 (and alternatives). I'm a total noob with regards to that software (again, or...

Play Dungeons and Dragons online. It's satisfied my gaming itch for years. It's a free download.

Wilderlands of High Fantasy represent! Nice to see it getting some love!

This all depends on context. I work in IT. I would never include my D&D experience on my resume. Mostly for two reasons: A) I have plenty of relevant, applicable IT experience to include. B) It wouldn't really be professional, because it has nothing to do with my career. In the examples...

I tried playing a pacifist character years ago. I think it was some sort of cleric, and probably used the 2nd edition cleric template that Sacrosanct was referencing. It ended up being kind of impossible to play. As I recall, the party was attacked by orcs in the forest, and round after round...

Star Wars: The scene is a New Hope. Princess Leia's Corellion Corvette has been captured by the Imperial Star Destroyer. On board, Leia records a desperate message for Obi Wan Kenobi, and instructs R2 to the nearest escape pod. The droids find their way amidst the chaos and jettison themselves...

Kudos to you for being so creative. I tried getting into the homebrew thing when I was younger. Made complex maps of continents, and found I just didn't have the patience for that level of detail. I took a long time off from D&D - mostly because I burnt out from trying to manage the schedule...

I admit I've been away from this stuff for a while. Can someone explain what is meant by "Bounded Accuracy"?

Wow, thanks for that. I totally didn't consider the The Thieves Handbook. That does have some really good information.

Yea, I'd kind of assumed that a spawn, absent its vampire, would remain a spawn. The rules weren't entirely clear there. I'm not sure this is a quest that *needs* solving. The fact that someone might randomly get a really crappy night's sleep there might be enough for them to want to...

Interesting thread. My last PBEM campaign had folks just pull from a set of numbers - 15, 13, 12, 11, 10, 8, then add 8 points however you like (on a 1:1 basis), then apply racial modifiers. So, if you really need two great scores, you can start with something like 18,18,12,11,10,8 - 77 total...

I want a thieves guild in my town. Anyone built a working thieves guild? Created rules around how to join? I have some ideas, that I'll share, but want ideas on what others have done here. Share your thieves' guild stories.

Where'd they find the wood to make the boat?? Wouldn't the PCs all be fish-type creatures on such a planet?

The ship lodges on something in the middle of the ocean. The party has to go into the water to find out what the ship is stuck on. The ship has run aground on the top of a submerged tower from a forgotten civilization. Going deeper into the ocean, the party finds golden coins glittering in the...
