It's a balance rule. The flavor to justify it isn't written to pass the Bar Exam, it's made to be plausible when you overhear it at a poker game because you're focused on your hand and not analyzing stuff to death. oh, yeah THE WHOLE GAME IS LIKE THAT. "Oh, really? They just choose not to...

Fixed.

I didn't notice the necro. Hilarious! At my table, my Druid is a SoCal stoner. When I use Guidance, I wave my hand and say 'Be Excellent.' Thunderwave's verbal component is 'Rock and ROLL!'. Healing Word is 'Walk it OFF, dude.' I want to get this feat and hand out Red Bulls and Slim Jims.

Yeah, he doesn't understand the surprise rules and is inferring too much. This doesn't mean you anticipate the caster casting Misty Step and can act before they start. It means they start casting, which initiates combat, THEN the surprise check is done. Everyone else in your party checks for...

You don't need to do that at all. SurveyMonkey can generate an email link that anyone can click and take the survey. https://help.surveymonkey.com/articles/en_US/kb/Web-Link-Collector This thread is a privacy DISASTER. You should really ask the mods to delete it, and start over with a proper...

Yeah, if the DM *needs* the party to be surprised for the 'plan' to happen, that's a sign of inexperience. It's also the sign of someone who wants to design what happens, instead of what could happen. Or, he's seeing the effects of that feat at low level, and doesn't realize that once the party...

Sure, there are many possible ways to do it. You just have to house rule. People do that all the time. If you look at the game itself, there's a variation of short/long rest that moves it from one hour/overnight, to one overnight /one week. In that context, just house rule this feat usable on a...

Name a Lovecraft story that had the protagonists 'stomping' anyone again? I'm a bit fuzzy on that. :heh: Not saying it's not fun - it is - but high level Wizards throwing Fireballs or Clerics casting Resurrection had no place in his stories. It was body horror, fear of the unknown...

Well, less 'mixed' than 'snarked when nobody was looking'. :heh: That said, even with some of the Lovecraftian monsters in the game now (Aboleth, Gibbering Mouther), the feel of Cthulhu Mythos stuff would be better served by the horrors appearing in a 1900's world, facing incredibly fragile...

Ah, fair enough. Then, it sounds good.

DM's Guide: Swimming is DC10 once per hour to avoid a level of Exhaustion. You're making regular swimming harder. It's your call to make, but I wouldn't do that bit.

The thing is, it will work on certain types of foes - and the level of security and paranoia they have - but not others. Make sure the ones it doesn't work on have a legitimate, sensible reason why not, or else this player will (rightly) feel nerfed. This power is a significant investment for a...

I could see it ripping the sails off of a mast, and possibly breaking the boom or yard, especially if it was windy and the ship was tipped over a bit giving a lot of surface area to press down on.

I prefer the 'joking not joking' approach. "JINXED!! ...lol just kidding!"

Yeah, seconded. I'd say giving one of those at 1st level is a neat way to give someone a distinctive ability without the power of some of the default feats.

You spurred some curiosity. I crunched some numbers. If we're counting spell slots, it boosts the volume of 'spell levels' you cast per day a bit. - 33% increase at level 2 - 10% increase by level 10 (where it basically stays from then on) It also stops scaling a bit in raw power around 10...

DM's Guide p. 117: - Only swim 8 hours max - DC 10 Constitution check per hour or gain a level of Exhaustion - Swimming 100' deep? Check for exhaustion every 1/2 hour, 4 hours max - Swimming 200' deep? Check for exhaustion every 15 minutes, 2 hours max - Magic swimming aid eliminates these...

Yeah, when it's origins are clearly 'outsmart them or kill them and take their stuff'.

If you do kill them, I'd make it abundantly clear that the souls they have been adding the whole time are the reason. Here's how I'd do it: Like, the demon makes some hand motions, a cloud of smoke with movement inside appears over it's head - Perception check, oh, you see the faces of the...
