Was the dragonborn hit by an exploding net? Oh, when he's returned to life, will he them be a dragoncarnated?

You know you can just stop responding, right?

An inveterate liar playing poker in the Big Brother house is not telling the truth. No roll is needed to figure that out.

But seriously, if I was setting the DC for an insight check to determine if the NPC was telling the truth, I'd set it at my default. Anytime I set a DC, I start at 10, raising it only if it strikes me as a particularly difficult task. If the person in question was an inveterate liar, that'd...

If the NPC was a terrible truth teller, I'd set the DC as 10. If he was a great truth teller, it would be a 20. :hmm:

My D&D recently saw the introduction of tiny exploding turtles that goblins use as grenades.

This is terribe advice. I'm chaotic neutral, which means I have to say it's straight when it's not.

Setting. Random encounter tables have become the backbone of my megadungeon. When I map out a room, I write down what might be there. Like, a room intended to be a Level 5* monster outpost will tell me to roll on the Random Faction Table (goblins, orcs, drow or duergar essentially) and then...

That's "dwarf-time with dice" thankyouverymuch.

Every single one of us has a different definition of each alignment (is what I have learned from years of forumimg) and so the only one who can possibly give a useful answer to this question is your DM. (Most of my posts during my years of foruming have been intentionally humorous. This post...

I like the change to barbarian. Especially limiting Momentum to during the rage, making it a sort of limited unlimited feature. It looks like it will create a very flavorful feel to a rage. I also think the only way you'll be able to figure out how well balanced the class is now is through...

No rewards for honesty? I'm sold!

I have used the gods of Hercules/Xena as my model for quite some time. More recently I added Thor and Loki to the mix along with the other Marvel Asgardians. Since you're not dealing with a god specifically, you could model the interaction on one of Thor's chums, or that robot daughter of...

Certainly. But then it would be a terrible answer to the question "What would an Int (Athletics) check look like?" :heh: Edit: And really, in my example, the int check was just picking out the shot before taking it, like the curling team's skip placing his broom where he wants his teammate to...

I think you could slow down accumlating dice by saying "At the end of your turn, if you made at least one successful melee attack, you gain one momentum die, which is a d4. If you made at least one melee attack that was a critical hit, you gain two momentum dice. If you didn’t attack during your...

I see that, yet again, I voted with the clear majority on a poll. I'm just another brick in the wall.

I like how you used the proficiency bonus, even though the "but that's too much" comment becomes real appropriate at first level.

Ayup. That's why I think an Int (athletics) check makes sense. It's like a Geometry (practical experience) check.

Nice example of failing an Int (Athletics) check. So applying my example to D&D, you could call for such a check if your player ever declares that he's looking to set up a trick shot, something like "I scan the room, looking for a piece of furnishing - a drapery, a candlestick, something - that...

This isn't me, my triple was nowhere near as tough, not was it ever recorded. I'm suggesting an an Int(athletics) check would show that this could be done, and where to aim your shot to knock all 3 blue stones out of the rings: https://youtu.be/GSkO0n47c9o
