Moreover, would increasing the industry even twofold net an (at least) twofold increase in the market value? Or is it that this specific market actually supports small staffs (Paizo seems like an outlier based on the figures posted above)? That aside, I wish the best of luck to Chris and Jennifer.

Thank you to all! It's refreshing to see I got it right! :p

As the title says: how should I read "on initiative count 20" that is usually featured in the monsters' Lair Actions? I guess it should be compared against the initiative throws of the participants in a fight, e.g.: the power is active quite early in the round, going almost first. I am correct...

They're very nice! *cheers*

The idea seems very nice, I'll definitely follow your blog. One thing that has always bothered me with a high science and high magic setting is the credibility: if magic is so widespread and usable, why people had to study the world (thus leading to physics)? What about medicine developments...

As the title says: is it me, or in 5E there's no mean to make spells permanent (like in previous editions, at least up to 3.5 IIRC), leaving the option on a per case basis? If that's the case, do you miss the (generalized) option? For my part, I think it lends more to a low-keyed style of...

More an Illithid than a Troll then :p

That's how it worked (sort of) in previous editions. In 5E you spend spell slots on a list (dictated by your class, as Others before me have brilliantly exposed). If the slot level is higher than the spell's, you usually (though not often) get an enhanced effect (be it damage, duration, range or...

Since many spells explicitly mention that "on a successful save, the target knows a spell has been cast" and Suggestion doesn't I'd rule that in this case the spell recipient isn't aware of the casting per se. For me though the spell just lends strength to your suggestion, which is uttered so...

I like this idea. Regulated reanimation might become a reality in some settings; otherwise we would have lots of skeletons and zombies doing the most menial jobs (talk about underemployement then! ;) ).

While it's still a novel concept for me, having played mostly BECMI and 2E, I find that Dwarven Wizards are quite intriguing. Right now I'm toying with the idea of a Mountain Dwarf Abjurer.

You will always be ruling correct, insofar you're consistent with your prior decisions ;)

You're correct, yes. At least, this is how I'd see the situation.

The Three Musketeers

Well...in real life it's a job, which doesn't require the believing. In a fantasy world? Not so sure. Remember, Powers can walk the land (in some settings more than Others, admittedly) so it's not that you can be, say, a priest of Pelor and a necromancer. At least, this shouldn't happen, and...

Very nice done! ...and the Cleric saves the day! ;)

I last played Stormbringer in the mid-90s: fun, especially since coming from CoC where PCs where very weak. In Stormbringer you could reach very high peaks of power. The feeling was different from the novels though, at least for what I can remember: while dark-themed, your protagonist was not so...

Well, as an alternative method you can try to give different XPs based on how the encounter was passed. E.g.: bargaining with the tribe's elders awards the PCs the whole encounter budget (let'say 1000 XP), while hacking through the tribe nets them only a fraction of that (say, 500 XP). And let...

A chance? Definitely! Not the certainty, mind, but a chance for sure. It depends also on how the bullies play and coordinate.

I plan to use them a lot; coming from a Planescape background I like the factions, since they can give you lots of opportunities for role-playing, exploiting well the "social" pillar. This is obviously strongly dependant on the tone and type of the campaign though, so in a more h'n's group they...
