The Colonel watches the others try to move the bands binding the forge together. Even with his crowbar, however, Donnell is unable to make the metal slip its fastings. "Good work, lad. You tried," the Colonel says reassuringly. He then turns to the forge and speaks aloud: "To the being the...

Tommi looked at the devil, a supernatural creature unlike anything he had seen in his life, and new he should be scared. This thing could kill him, he knew, wihtout a single thought. As he stood in front of Lionel, Tommi felt the leather cord of his simple sling wrapped loosely around his...

I disagree that this is a problem. Not everything needs to be optimal. As written the 2024 backgrounds give a balance of skills, proficiency, feat, abilities able to be affected by ASI. It's not written as take whatever you want (the way it was in 2014), and this means there is much more to...

I've only seen what's in PT's video, but weapons don't take abjuration spells, though staffs (er, staves) can take any school of magic. I don't know what the rules are for embedding spells into armor and shields. Did I miss that? Holy symbol is a legacy holdover for clerics from (iirc) AD&D...

Someone who didn't want to be holding a stick all the time. So... most fighters, rangers, paladins, rogues and barbarians, many bards, clerics, and warlocks. "You expend a charge to cast a spell" -- You're still the one casting it, and so you'd still need to concentrate. The only ambiguity...

I have seen it many times. Most players IME do not worry about what's on YouTube.

"Lionel, no!" young Tommi shouts. Tommi scrambles onto the ground, one leg awkwardly reaching over the lip of the opening, and he scrambles to his feet. "Don't give it to him. Come here!" There's a desperate pleading in his voice. "He can't take it if you don't give it to him..." Tommi's...

Tommi pops his head out of the hole, and the sight he sees is not his friend. He had known something had happened to Lionel, but now he started to get a feeling of what was truly behind this devil's demands. Expertise Insight: 1d20+10=18.

As expected -- though I would stress that it is framed in terms of something the DM does for their world, not something the player designs with the DM's permission. (Some DMs won't care of course, but I think legitimately some might).

The Colonel listens to the advice of his companions, and prepares to act. Last spell reckoning was in IC 1136: 1/1/3/2/2. The Colonel wants to free this elemental Here are the parameters I see: (a) Banishment should work. 4th level spell with range, Charisma save (which it can choose to fail...

An idea I had for Savage Attacker (not playtested, admittedly) was to give +3 damage in the first round of combat, if you hit. I thin kit isn't meaningfully stronger than what's already there, but (a) it will feel good when it hits, and (b) it ic entivizes a slightly different playstyle (you...

That's a kind of timekeeping I'm just not going to worry about, and it's not what PT is suggesting. If you imagine crafting magic items is the same as whittling, you do you.

potato, potato.

That's a really good point.

There are better and worse, but they all are viable, except (in my opinion) Savage Attacker, which I don't see ever taking. Crafter is an odd duck because the benefit is a purchasing power one. Do Diamonds as spell components get the discount? If so, it's a valuable feat. Otherwise no. I think...

It's a helpful summary, and the video has some good insights. My three main takeaways from PT's discussion, though, are these: 1. The idea of a wizard crafting through short rests and while riding a horse is silly and just wouldn't fly at my table. YMMV but I cannot believe that is what's...

And now add IC 1263 about 500gp varioius loot IC 1270 Fire Giant's bag of gold and gems

The Colonel takes the sack of gems, to be shared later. It's a shame there's no personal items per se, but this, at least, is something that will be noticed (assuming the fire Giant -- Smolderheart, was it? -- was alive to notice its absence). The Colonel is ready to leave, when he sees Doc...

The Colonel wants to make sure that Doc is protected. Here was the forge, and it's clear the Fire Giant has it fuelled by some magic supply... curious that it even needs the billows, he thinks. Regardless, it would be satisfying to make away with something personal of the giant's, and so he...
