I'd go with the Open Hand Monk 5 / Bear Barbarian 3 - Strenght based Turtle (bear powers reimaged as turtle powers). That sounds fun. Hey, can I also use Torgue Turtles as my ranged weapon?

Aye. I'd have the OP roll a Charisma check vs the ettins' passive insight, upping the DC by 2 for the danger of Booming Blade and 2 more for each opportunity attack it would suffer.

Literally a one-shot quest Sorry.

Me (playing Barbarian Joe): I smack the horse with my club. I know it's dead NOW.

Well, I'm kinda calling it that ironically, but they definitely - intentionally - can resemble what gets derided as a gotcha in every way except for that.

These gritty pretzels are making me thirsty.

I've been using two distinct flavors of traps in my megadungeon. 1 Puzzle Traps. These are the traps that the players come across while exploring the dungeon, like an arch in a passageway that guillotines anyone passing through. These are always obviously a trap, but they're meant to be a...

Aphroditty, Aphrodite's little sister.

How should I be maligning Phantom Menace? I want to make sure I'm doing it right. :heh:

It's the greatest feeling in the world to get a set-up so perfect that you simply can't fail no matter how you deliver the punchline. I'm so jealous.

Also, there's a chance somebody hits a hot streak and rolls a set of results that are all above 10. How will this affect the way the session plays out? What if it was a cold streak instead? I have only questions, not answers.

You could rip off Assassin's Creed 2 or its sequels.

There are times when it won't work for stealth, too. Like, if the DM decides that a guard who spots a hiding character is going to pretend like he doesn't, that stealth check in the moment will give away more information than you want to. So those are the times when I'd go to the guard rolling...

Crazy. My rogue's next (and first) feat is almost certainly gonna be Moderately Armored. I never thought these feats would've ever actually see use in a game. I am a terrible theorycrafter, is what I'm saying.

I feel like you just inadvertantly zinged yourself. Bawylie jokes about he - the real life human poster - rolling a 20 on his check to explain* himself, and you responding by saying he had no chance of making you understand . . . it's the kind of post I'd make in your shoes. *Yeah...

Yes, we do like to roll dice. That's actually why I don't like your OP's options 1 and 2 very much either, but would be totally fine with giving them a go because it could prove to be good enough. But as a DM, my solution to the stealth example in your quote is to have the player wait to roll...

There a real easy solution to that. Take a nap, and come back in when you're rested. (I bet y'all thought I was gonna say "then just don't argue," didn't y'all? But then where'd I find my entertainment if yall weren't arguing?)

Options 3 and 4 are an automatic no-go for me as a player. I don't want some other player rolling the dice for my character. I guess I could go with option 1 or 2. --- As I DM, I'm wondering why you don't just compare your monster's roll against the PC's passive score. The end result is much...

Well, if the incident in question occurred during a spectacular performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra that included the felling of an oak tree (by hatchet, axe and saw) on stage that went horribly wrong, the consequences would be a dozen Rush fans in the front rows getting crushed by a...

I gave no position on this subject. The last several many pages have all been a semantic back and forth, the substance of which doesn't interest me in the least. The arguing itself is weirdly entertaining though, so that's why I'm still reading. Since I've actually made myself present in this...
