Because if the shoe was on the other foot, that's exactly what people would say. Any time a white person does anything that can be perceived as non-white, they get slammed for "stealing my cultural identity." There was a case not too long ago where a white teenager was slammed because of the way...

I agree with you. I noticed this as well on my second viewing. Also, you can sorta see it in this video at roughly the 50 second mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Bg3NQes8o Its fuzzy, but you can tell that's not a human.

In most situations, things like this annoy me. I hate when people play with the identities/race of well established characters. There's a few reasons. It seems like companies are doing this more and more to fake a public image of being politically correct, or in the same vein, attempt to avoid...

Hey guys. I'm reaching out to get some insight and help regarding recording live (D&D) sessions to upload later to YouTube, similar to groups like Nerdarchy, etc. I'm not a tech genius nor am I an idiot, so my real question is what do I need besides a camera and possibly a decent microphone...

As a side note, I really enjoyed the En5ider article, Nature's Remedy, as a supplement for potion making.

The DM would have determined when to check your stealth versus their passive perception to notice you. I would have said no later than when you opened the door, check perception, depending on how much noise everyone else was making. In this situation as soon as you declare a hostile action you...

As someone who loathes bloat, I prefer the slow release schedule. I think the core books were done well enough that there's no need for splat books any time soon. Adventures and campaign guides, in my opinion. I don't want to see 5E go down the path of Pathfinder (no pun intended) of having a...

I think Oath of the Crown Paladin could be a decent tank in both taking damage, supporting his allies and causing enemies to focus on it.

New School (SDCIWC) because that's what I've grown used to. Honestly it doesn't even matter because I always double check and reference my sheet anyways when I need my ability scores for something. I can't stand people who don't even double check AND on top of that constantly get their modifier...

Fudging rolls - No. ALL rolls in the open, including the DM's. Fudging Creature HP - Yes. To lengthen/shorten combat for various purposes. If a player does an amazing dramatic attack and the creature is 1-3 HP from death and facing certain death regardless, then I'll just kill it off. Using...

Unfortunately I'm stuck at work and my phone has no signal to download it. :-( Anyways, maybe one of the news crew can download it and hook everyone up with a spiffy article.

You're correct. The effect starts on that creatures turn and ends at the start of their next turn. I'm mobile otherwise I'd give you a reference number, but I just thought I'd reaffirm you. Edit - I don't have my books with me right now, but I want to say the verbiage in 5E usually gets pretty...

Some people seriously find it hard to spend $1... Geez. Supported, just to see if giving away $1 is truly the end of the world...

Considering initiative is only used in combat, the players will know. To the characters, since they're surprised, they can't act or do anything anyways and each round is 6 seconds and everyones turns basically happen at the same time, it's not like the character is willy nilly standing around...

Just to piggyback off this.

When I run it's always Point Buy. Reason - Ease of use, balance and it allows people to build the character they WANT, within reason, and doesn't force people to play some random hot mess they don't want to play. I cannot enjoy playing a character that I'm forced to play that isn't up to my...

They would be unable to use any actions because they're still surprised, whether they go first or not. They can use reactions after their turn, if applicable, with any disadvantages associated with darkness, etc. Assuming the surprised party is a DM controlled piece, I would literally just have...

You need a free hand available to reload. I'm mobile right now otherwise I would post the reference for you, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to hook you up. :-)

I'll post this because it's in the same vein and people were debating recently over this issue I'm about to post about. https://twitter.com/ChrisPerkinsDnD/status/672110447185690624

One more before I take off... I fully agree, to an extent. It's HARD to tell who's crazy. Can you walk around Wal Mart and successfully identify every person who is crazy that you walk past? A lot of "crazy" people have no criminal records nor have they shown any extreme warning signs. I fully...
