I wasn't exactly speaking positively of it, there.

Being fat isn't a path, and you contradicted yourself there anyway. Weight gain is sometimes caused by health issues. Being somewhat "overweight" according to the bmi chart is actually associated with the longest lifespans--being underweight can be quite unhealthy. Oh, and malnourishment can...

Those numbers are right-ish, but you're putting them in the wrong place. ((1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 + (1+2+3+4+5+6)6 +3+4+5+6)/6 I condensed that to (3.5+3.5+3+4+5+6)/6 because I figured it was pretty common knowledge in a discussion of dice probability that (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6=3.5, but that's really the same...

I didn't say it's easy to quantify. I said ignoring it because it's more difficult to quantify means your analysis will undervalue it. Besides, it also triggers on a crit and that's easy enough to quantify. It happens on 5% of attacks. The target does not need to be within reach, but you do...

What? When you roll a 1 or a 2 you can reroll and must keep the second value. That means it's replaced, and therefore couldn't possibly influence the formula. Now, you can still roll a 1 or a 2 on the second roll, but that's already included in the die's average. 1d4 becomes (2.5 + 2.5 + 3 +...

686 out of 675, in fact, which is actually 101.63%. Morrus explained that yesterday. With two decimal places, not even 686/687 rounds to 100%, so it should fall once it's complete. Perhaps not by much, though.

An extra attacks makes you more likely to hit at least once, which can matter if you have bonus damage you can only use once (sneak attack or smites, perhaps), but it doesn't really impact how much damage you do overall, otherwise. You're also more likely to miss at least once, after all. If...

They did specify that you can't, though. That's part of the general rules for Feats, so those that specify that you can are the exception. Edit: Ah, I waited until I had my book handy to look up the reference/make sure I wasn't misremembering something from earlier editions before I actually...

People who weren't interested in DnD in the first place are never going to see it anyway. But you'll get more people actually playing. You'll get some of them more comfortable and feeling safe. Actually, some of them might bring in a few more. And with that statement in your game...

Yes. The concentration mechanics are nice.

If it's a natural cavern, areas between could require climbing, or crawling, or squeezing through narrow passages, and maybe sometimes there's areas that are just inaccessible to anything bigger than a cat. In a constructed dungeon, maybe there's an old room that was used by previous...

I quoted you. "I had told them I get mad when people insult me and they forgot." That's exactly it. The idea that I'm responsible for telling someone not to hurt me because that's not automatic, and somehow not doing it isn't their responsibility in the place, and then they could do it anyway...

Er, the offender being the person who's guilty is actually the standard view of fault. You were saying otherwise. Or is only the victim at fault? Well, that's the whole situation, then. What were you disagreeing with? Yelling at an aggressor is your responsibility. It's also an extremely mild...

Saying immoral things is a moral principal? Funny thing is, this is far from the first time I've seen a discussion about GLBT people suddenly become a discussion about how denying freedom of speech is bad. Nobody's freedom of speech was ever in question. If that's all you're defending, you can...

You really can't forgive someone if they're still doing the thing. Why is forgiving more of a moral imperative than not doing things that require forgiveness, anyway?

Unless I ever said something resembling what Mistwell said to me, I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I have listened to you. Not that I actually needed to, to be in line with what I said there, since I already have my own experience. But if you don't think actually having direct...

So now the only things Strength does are carrying capacity and Athletics. Finesse is an extra feature of some weapons because it's a useful bonus, letting you use Dex for something that normally requires Strength.

It's the thing you're talking about. And you accused me in the first place--I certainly didn't do it. Although, yes, yes you have. You're treating a minority group like a hypothetical topic of discussion. This is only the second time you've said that, and you're not explaining it here, so...

There's also a number of Warlock Invocations (Armor of Shadows, Ascendant Step, Beast Speech...), the Warlock's Mystic Arcanum, the Wizard's Signature Spell, and Magic Initiate, if not more I'm overlooking. There's lots of ways to get the ability to cast certain spells without expending a spell...

...yes, that's why the enlarge spell has a simple addition to reflect size change so you don't have to come up with an entirely new set of stats.
