I think this is an excellent point, but I'm thinking of it from another direction. A god may have multiple religions to worship them. I'm playing in a campaign right now and different sects worshipping the same god have VERY different approaches for how they admire/fear/ritualize their faith in...

I played a priest of the Goddess Leira (goddess of lies who was actually killed by Cyric, but since he didn't tell anyone see:lies, I still worshipped "her"), and it opened my eyes to how weird some of the more non-obvious religions can be. It was a great exercise to look at lying not as a...

If you have any background or affiliation to nature, you could use that for part of the surname. "______ of the crickets" is an example... and you are attuned to cricket chirping, maybe the DM allows you to know the exact temperature if you hear them (VERY MINOR perk) but you also are protective...

When someone admits they caused someone else harm. Sure. Unlikely they're being deceitful.

Have to say, microtransactions can be a fun thing or a poisonous thing. I don't have a problem with them if done appropriately... this is a wait and see for me. My favorite microtransactions are DLC for video games. I already have the game and I can choose to buy more of it if I like it or not...

I'm feeling like these analogies go too far in both directions. They didn't commit a crime. They also didn't just "consider" something in their heads without affecting the community. In their own admission: "First, though, let me start with an apology. We are sorry. We got it wrong. Our...

Fair enough. The RESULT of their ACTIONS taken was that they BACKED DOWN. The horrible thing they tried to do, and failed to do, was thwarted by the actions of the community. That's how I see it. How much any of us gets worked up or not about it is a personal thing for each of us to...

It looks like you want a rhetorical, rather than a factual argument. One where we hem and haw over what words mean, and possible hypotheticals. I'm not talking about hypotheticals. No. This is about facts. What they did (behavior, not thought), the repercussions, and the outcome. And what...

Wow. This is whitewashing the whole debacle pretty hard. They did more than "contemplate" and "consider". To say otherwise is disingenuous.

Welp. I should have known. Excellent point.

No, it isn't. Agreed. I like it just fine. Unlike in the orc thread, I don't think it is problematic. I just think my suggestion better encapsulates the origins and circumstances around the new license. YMMV.

It may be called the ORC license right now, but that doesn't mean the community cannot give it its own nickname. Reading the beginning of this thread, I am heartened by the banding together of the little guys to take on Sauron. That is what this whole debacle feels like to me. They have...

Great, thanks!

Did that fix the text? Did that fix the poll component as well?

I didn't format my text at all. I just typed. Is there some way to fix it to "automatic" instead of "black"?

Can a person in gaseous form move through an enemy's square? I don't deny they'd provoke an attack of opportunity, but is it possible to move through them, or are they trapped in? I'd think by raw, there's nothing in the spell that says they can...but consider: A vampire is killed in a room...

Wolfgang's great! To the OP. Kobold Press/Wolfgang Baur is one of my favorite adventure (and general D&D authors). His site (used to be kobold quarterly, now kobold press) may be a way of interacting with him. He's usually responsive to fans asking direct and appropriate questions. If you shot...

I'd say the equivalent of a Night Hag would be something like a "boogeyman". Found in dark tales and disturbing legends (a 3e ravenloft supplement).

Some more info/some thoughts: I'm running Way of the Wicked book 2 (minor spoilers likely to follow), and they're defending an abandoned mountain/keep known as the Horn of Abbadon. It's a mountain that is also a fortress (carved out of the mountain by cultists hundreds of years ago) so there...

I'm curious if anyone has ever DMed a Tornado, and any elements of the event. I've randomly rolled a Tornado that lasts 60 minutes, and will be hitting the structure (a huge mountain with caverns) that the players are in. Though rules systems are not necessarily important for your comments...
