    D&D 5E (2014) What Force Damage Tastes Like

    I see some folks interpret D&D Force damage with the Newtonian concept of force. I view as the same sort of magical energy/material that makes a Wall of Force doing a number on the tissues of the target, somewhere between all the physical damage types and pulling the matter of the target apart...

    Sword Coast Legends is not D&D

    Oh I think the early previews showed the bosses have better HP than 4E solos so those paying attention were warned already. But wasn't it proven by folks going through the game code that even the BG and NW games actually use a completely different random number calculation than an actual 1 to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Carrion Crawler Queen lair

    Oh, I was really annoyed that the DMG left out the "CR-ing value" of an attack that paralyzes! Have you seen any educated guesses?

    With so many pathetic craven gods, the world is better off destroyed. It looks like he should have actually, willing going gaseous isn't supposed to grant immunity to magic weapon damage and it should make Durkula's AC much worse, but the author now chucks out the game assumptions as convenient...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sanctuary useless?

    Because some PCs can be VERY tough and foes have to focus fire to bring them down. Having even a few attacks retargeted makes the difference between a dead PC and two or three injured PCs that can be healed up with a Channel Divinity, mass healing word or a Prayer of healing / HD after the...

    Kickstarter -- Washington court orders payment and fines in Kickstarter fraud case

    VERY happy to see a fire being lit under these people who think they can get away with this sort of thing. Kickstarter may not be a preorder by default, but it damn well is once a product is offered for a pledge.

    Engineering while brown/non-Christian

    Damn right, to most people's perceptions, a ramshackle disassembled clock is just a distressingly small piece of explosive short of being a bomb. And the actual differences are way outside the paygrade of teachers, principals & local cops.

    If foes know or suspect a group can heal, they finish off those on the ground.

    Pathfinder 1E Divine spell failure

    Divine spells were gifts from the gods, with less options, less directly powerful than arcane spells and with only 7 levels of spell power. As editions went on, eventually clerics got 9 levels of spells and much broader selections.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC over-thinking the Ranger?

    WotC isn't overthinking the ranger, from what I remember of Iron Heroes, this is just what Mearls's work looks like when he is off the leash. 2 for 1 power attack in a setting where armor is a small die of DR, yeah greeeat idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do with DM issues?

    Then you should probably stay out of the Monster Manual if you are not planning on running a game.

    Nope. they have no protections in the agreements. They were basically horderves due to not having a god. Perhaps if the two he chugged were the only ones inside. I'd suspect that's the barrier if passed your god's vote is no longer counted. That's why it has the godly golden glow.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Poll] How does your group do hit points per level?

    I say roll if you want, roll low, sucks for you. Though many other players apply peer pressure on others to take average. I just enforce replacement characters being 4th level, no higher. I also feel nobody playing a cleric is a self correcting problem.

    Looks like Roy just made his called strike to stake Durkula. If not, Roy is more boned that you calculate, each negative level also reduces the victim's HP by 5, so since each vampire wallop is two levels, Roy is 20HP lower.
