    D&D 5E (2014) Prepping for The Wild Beyond the Witchlight -- The Witchlight Carnival

    You could index the results "Weakling" "Puny Gnome" "Mighty Goblin" "Powerful Bugbear" "OGRE STRENGTH" or something like that by the results of the Strength check. Fail the base DC by more than 5 or so, you get Weakling. Fail by less: Puny Gnome. Barely succeed: Might Goblin. Succeed by 5...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    True, you do, however, get the results of a successful project. So it's not like investing the company so much as investing in a particular project.

    Star Wars Rewatch

    If you ask me, the real story of Anakin Skywalker is what turned him from a helpful, relatively cheerful little sprout in Phantom Menace to the creep in Attack of the Clones. And that's the story that isn't told.

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    I might amend that and say that superhero characters, in general, tend to have power levels that vary widely with the writer working on them. So any variation in MCU depictions is pretty much par for the course.

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    There can be a significant difference between a teacher who also coaches and a coach who also teaches. It's all in what their primary focus is and how conscientious they are with the kids in their care. Many teachers in my high school were also coaches of various athletics - and not just the gym...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    Same with Wisconsin in the 1980s. Kind of underscores how many kids either aren't listening in class or who forget what they learned.

    D&D General 1e feel for 5E

    It is kind of weird the way 2e regressed in that way and 1e's Method I was moved to Method V. I suspect some influence from the BECMI line?

    D&D Errata Nerfs Conjuring Spells, Makes Other Changes

    Already addressed by pukunui pages ago. Even considering an action that sounds doable rather than is reasonable, the spell is a lot more restrictive than Dominate Person.

    D&D General 1e feel for 5E

    That was actually never a 1e rule - that's a holdover from some Basic days. 1e's Method I was 4d6, drop low, arrange as desired. And this would be kind of weird since many 1e spells automatically scaled with level without having to burn a higher spell slot.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Ultimately, some of this depends on just how "less fond" you are of a game. Is it not your favorite but OK? Is it a game you're neutral toward? Is it a game you actively dislike? Because depending on that sentiment, you may have the perfect (system I prefer), the good (system I don't care for...

    D&D General 1e feel for 5E

    Um... why? What's that trying to match in 1e? For my money, the most important element you'd be adding to give it a 1e feel would be the gritty healing option, followed by energy draining inflicting exhaustion (though it's likely to get out of hand fast if someone is unlucky enough to be vamped...

    D&D General When We Were Wizards: Review of the Completed Podcast!

    Majority, no. But there were agreements about always being offered the opportunity to match if anyone bought more of the outstanding shares or to potentially buy up what might be offered for sale. So he would always be given the opportunity to have an element of control - until he miscalculated...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    I think you're missing some major points here. 1) That epic boon is in 2014, not 2024, and can only be awarded by the DM, so any argument about how it would work with 2024 multiclassing rules or taken as a high level benefit (19th level) is hypothetical at best. 2) You can't gain a 9th level...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The level of humblebragging dripping from that post is pretty high. Yeah, we get it. You think you're better than us. :rolleyes:

    D&D 5E (2024) Stealth Errata

    And, ultimately, I have no problem with that. But what's really needed here is some handling of invisibility by way of stealth vs invisibility by way of magical (or for invisible stalker, natural) means. Because while their effects on combat may be the same and worthy of being handled by one...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's kind of funny to receive a notification about getting a post reaction to a thread from multiple years ago. Interesting how current threads can lead to people taking deeper dives into the topic.
