This is basically the Magic Initiate feat with set spells, and trading one cantrip for +1 to an ability score and a 2nd level spell. This is probably "broken" as a feat. You'll also need to give the spellcasting modifier for these. It might work well if you tweak the wording to "you know the...

True. But... When you watch a basketball game you see one person who is Jordan and twenty people who aren't. And there's a physical aspect that becomes apparent when you look at a hoop: you know how high you can jump. If you'd never seen a basketball court or played before your early teens, and...

Some conspiracy theories make sense. The labratory theory is a huuuuuuge stretch (and not true) but it's not outside the bounds of logic. But the G5 theory is just dumb and makes zero sense. Ignoring the fact those frequencies have been used before and that micorwaves at those frequencies are...

There was a report of a gun. And just a week ago was Canada's deadliest mass shooting commited by a guy basically cosplaying as a cop. Yeah, it was an overreaction, but you can imagine why they were being cautious.

Yeah. And that was playtested! And the whole thing was written by one team of 2-3 coordinating writers not six separately.

This is very likely the result of a designer writing an adventure for a system that wasn't finished and they hadn't played, and likely had a loose idea of the balance and encounter design rules for. And the ruleset was likely changing as the adventure was written. While Paizo encourages its AP...

Right off the bat, people bathed in the past. And IIRCs June was a common month for marriage because if the bride became pregnant in July or August, she'd still be able to work at harvest-time and the child would be born in the spring before planting.

Still totally fair. I apologize if I was pushing. We're all nerds here and I think we all have a negative experience with being laughed at. I can sympathize.

I understand that. That's a totally fair position and you're justified to feel that way. And if you were the player doing the falling and your friends playing with you know you have issues with being laugh at hopefully the tone would be different. And that's fine. But that's probably not the...

The trouble with the internet rears it's head again as I have no idea if you're being sarcastic or ironic or critical at them for laughing at the tragic... :confused:

It's not his best example of DMing. But I'm not showing it as that. I'm showing it as an example of players doing foolish things rather than being cool for the camera. Also, Mercer is many things but he's also not an easy DM. He's not going to softball things or change the world to spare the...

I give some NPCs a voice if I can. Always have. And I try and find an inflection or voice for my PCs, so it's more apparent when I'm speaking in or out of character.

Since I'm playing more games online I'm happier for DnD Beyond, as I can link that to Roll20 with the Beyond20 browser extension. And I love the microtransaction aspect, so I can just drop $3 on a subclass and spell that I need for my character rather than $20 for an entire book. (For the books...

Well, a LOT of people use Roll20. A game that is 0.07% might have two or three dozen games played monthly. Or more. There's just that many more D&D games.

For any non Critters I think this needs a video. Setting the scene, the party is resting atop a 1000 foot cliff. One of the party decides to perform a spectacular cliff dive, using gust of wind in midair to push herself away from the cliff as she falls.

If I can have a song that was on the radio when I woke up stuck in my head all day no matter how hard I try to get rid of it I’ll accept someone maintaining their focus on a minor spell.

I disagree with some of his thoughts posted. Specifically editing (as many livestreams are not edited and actually shot live) and the comment that they’re making decisions based on how they’ll play for the fans. They know they’re playing to an audience, but I think entertaining their fans is...

Increasing in percentage in Roll20 is impressive, as it’s not just growing, but growing faster than 5e, which tends to veil relative growth with its massively expanding numbers. And having 1% on Roll20 is still a feat. There are a lot of big and popular games that can’t match that. Like...

Always happy to see a spike in play for Star Trek Adventures. Like the system and the world. A personal fave. (Which does also coincide with the launch of the Clear Skies streamed game on QueueTimes.)

It’s also why Tom Lommel retired the Dungeon Bastard. Too many naughty words, and many newcomers to the game might not get it was a joke and persona. And we need fewer examples of nerdrage online and as spokespeople for the game. (Said as someone who can be an naughty word and negative, but doesn’t like...
