Yeah, and I’m very short sighted, went bald at 27, and catch any respiratory illness that even wafts past my neighbourhood. I’d be all over a spell like this if one existed. Even food allergies would count. It’s the sort of thing that a magical society would likely have access to, even if its...

Obviously the D&D spell list is angled towards spell that adventurers would use, but it makes a lot of sense to me from a setting point of view that there'd be spells for this sort of thing. I mean, I'm SURE there's been some wizard or other, even in a relatively low-magic world like Krynn, who...

In a world with standard D&D healing magic, how would you mechanically handle the healing of congenital conditions, or birth defects? Things like a club foot, cleft lip/palate, etc, or even gigantism and so on. It's obviously not a wound, so hp-restoring spells wouldn't help. Greater...

My party is currently at session 23 and has just hit level 4. However, we use milestone levelling rather than XP, and also, I've deliberately paced the start of the campaign slowly, with lots of RP and non-combat sessions, and advancement has been slower as a result. So I'd expect to probably...

I've long since started treating backgrounds as quasi-skill proficiencies. Got the noble background? Well you can probably add your proficiency bonus to your roll to see if you can dance at the formal ball without embarrassing yourself, even if you don't have Performance. Soldier background...

From what i heard on rpg.net ages ago, I was under the impression that for SJG it's sales of Munchkin that pay the bills, and the RPG game line is strictly a hobby-scale operation by comparison. But I don't know to what extent that's still true. Yeah, White Wolf's death was (if not entirely...

I voted red on spell storing, I have to admit. It's potent to the point that the entire class is kinda built around it, and it really comes out of nowhere. All of a sudden, your artificer who could last level use 2 3rd level spells per day, can now use 13. II get that they were probably...

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the mechanical aspects of the book. Too much of the material was just flat-out unusable. Babaylan isn't just overpowered to the point where it makes other players feel useless, it's overpowered to the point where the game maths simply don't work any more...

Maybe just general utility? From vague memory, book 1 was specifically all about magic items while book 2 had more player options, subclasses, spells etc.

That was one of my two major problems with the book, too. It's .. idyllic. Community leaders are generally wise, benevolent, and doing their jobs well, guiding contented people. It comes across as a setting where the problems have been solved and there's no need for the PCs. It could have...

Yeah, I had fun with the game (it was great to try out classes etc that you haven't had the chance to play in actual games before), but the story and writing were pretty middling, and it didn't help that the decision trees weren't as sharp as they might be - you'd quite often trigger dialog out...

I’d argue they’ve functionally done that already. I play it different at my table (and as long as deities are a prominent thing in CR, I suspect WotC won’t close that door) but it’s a long time since a WotC product has even talked seriously about its pantheon. Dragonlance is the only one I can...

So, now that orcs are proper full-blown PC races, amid many other lore changes, I got thinking a bit about the old legacy non-human pantheons. I don't know how dar back these go in D&D history. Certainly a very long time - waaay before i got into the hobby, and I'm old enough that my bald spot...

(You’d probably get more responses to this thread on the D&D board, for what it’s worth…)

Not running one right now, but semi-planning one for the future. Or at least it’ll be one of the options I pitch to my group once my current campaign winds up. I’ll be redoing the second inhuman wars, heavily influenced by Pirates of the Caribbean and Farscape with the PCs caught between two...

He could waste my entire net worth every day for the rest of his life, and he’d still have more than enough money left to buy Hasbro.

PCs in my dragonlance game levelled up to 4. I have a house rule that allows max hp for the first three levels, to allow for a more heroic feel game and less swingy fragility at lower level. So this was the first time we’d rolled hp in the campaign. Five PCs no less than three of the rolled...

My personal formulation of that one is that the arc of the moral universe can be bent towards justice. But it’s an long arduous process and the damn thing will spring back into its previous shape unless a whole lot of people keep both hands on the lever.

My vtt game (5e) uses uses initiative rerolled each round. It’s very streamlined because Fantasy Grounds does the reroll without need for human intervention. It’s interesting and keeps you on your toes because you can’t necessarily rely on characters acting in a known order. You don’t know if...

I'd love it, but I'm not holding my breath. I get the feeling they're trending a bit in the direction of more generic toolkit/supplement books rather than Midgard-specific stuff now, anyway. Hell, their spokesperson here on ENWorld said at the start of the year that they were planning a lot of...
