Are there other spellcasters in the party? Do they all use spell points? Do the martial character players care about the sorcerer being even better than core spellcaster design, powerwise? (Edit: I am a forever DM, so I always have to consider power-parity between classes to make sure PCs don't...

If Metamagic is the Sorcerer thing, maybe they should get to a point where their ability to access or manipulate magic is even more effortless, more like a superpower than a spell that is learned. I like sorcerers, but I do not like spell points at all. It makes them even way better than...

It seems pretty clear to me that they didn't want to announce her leaving during the late 2023 layoffs or in Q1 when they needed to build momentum for the year. Announcing the President's leaving in Q4 or Q1 could have hurt stock and shareholder trust even more. They needed breathing room.

I'm not sure whether Williams was impactful at all. There were plans in place before she joined up, and she was there for only two years, so she probably didn't get enough time to make any big decisions on her own. She was middle management in a President role. It's not a dig against her. She...

Or... Williams got an offer elsewhere that aligned closer to her interests, with the Wizards Presidency merely being a stepping stone of experience. These Presidents and CEOs easily get other jobs. They bounce around all over the place, whether Chief Officers or Board members. Just watch...

Sure! "Oh mighty, glorious Kas! Vecna is so cruel to you. He's changed. He doesn't love you like I do. He sees you like a dog to be leashed and commanded. But you are the master. My master. Use me. Please. I will serve you. Let's kill him. Then we can be together. You can rule after our...

What if, the intelligent sword was the "other partner" that seduced Kas with delusions of power, and the sword wanted to remove the only other threat to its power over Kas. IT wanted to kill Vecna, and together, it and Kas took Vecna's Eye and Hand before Vecna got away, slipping into the...

DUDE. Further headcanon. Vecna did BOTH. He started things with the Invoked Devastation, then jumped over to the Flanaess and said "Oh Noes, Stebros! They totally blew us up, let's get them back! I have this Rain of Colorless Fire we can use..." He used both as immense sacrifice rituals for...

Headcanon: Of course, the Lord of Secrets doesn't want people to know his true Suel origins. He's the kind of guy to influence/rewrite history so that people don't now his true origins, influences, and actions. He was totally involved in the Invoked Devastation. Gotta erase history some way, right?

I prefer Vecna as Suel/Suloise. It fits his portrayed personality better, imo.

There is no reason to argue about the glasses or the color or sharp cleanliness of the clothes, or almost anything, for that matter. The art piece in question is not inappropriate in any way. D&D isn't the muddy middle ages of Earth. There is magic in D&D, wielded by magic-wielding species and...

I think the containment realm is interesting. I imagine that it is an little extra-dimensional universe with a bunch of ghosts stuffed in there, like a manufactured Shadowfell or Hell. The "heroes" don't think about the moral impact of imprisoning souls within, which prevents those souls from...

Subclasses, feats, and magic items are sources of spells too. Every time we create a new subclass with a short spell list that contains spells that perform a basic function covered by other spells, do we have to create a new spell to represent that function?

I am not down with every spell being unique to one class. If 6 different classes are intended to be able to Cure Wounds or remove conditions with Lesser Restoration, why should there be 6 different versions of Cure Wounds, or Lesser Restoration? It's a waste of space. Spell lists that all...

I'm glad you're having such a great time!

/s The wizard on the cover of The Secret of Bone Hill is too "Marvel Super Hero-ish" with the skin-tight lycra and high cowl. The wizard is clearly a rip off of the Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange. Where is her tome, staff, or even backpack? It's obvious that the broken staff and the book on the...

But I wasn't talking about the "physics" of magic working differently, I was talking about the narrative of perspective of people within the world, if not the greater universe as a whole. Backgrounds are narrative tools. But they are small and personal in scope and don't make sense to apply to...

2014 Background Features are flawed because they really only work at a "realm" level, as opposed to a worldwide level or larger scope. It really doesn't make sense for a 1st level Folk Hero of Kara Tur, to be known to on the Sword Coast. Or for a cleric of an uncommon god like Kossuth to be able...

In my imagination, PCs are not everyday people, and everyday NPCs are not PCs. NPCs don't have the same opportunities, skills, nor gumption to be able to just take class levels as a choice. Players are the reasons the "PC-heroes" get to plan out character levels, as if they actually know the...

Yeah, I don't play OSE style games. That works for some, but not me. I like looking forward to, and using, cool abilities.
