    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    the problem with milestones is the design of the game and it's increasing difficulty for the DM to juggle things at High level is that Milestones enable lazy DM's who want to play something epic like save the world but don't want to deal with High level to just ignore leveling. And even when...

    Strike Ending & Amazon Antitrust - Streaming Services: Power Rankings, FALL 2023

    From what I've read even if everyone had paid their 15.99 a month as intended Ads just pay more. So It may not really matter that people gamed the system. There is just more money to be made from companies who want you to see thier ads than there is from individuals who have to split thier...

    Strike Ending & Amazon Antitrust - Streaming Services: Power Rankings, FALL 2023

    Most of the services have already publicly stated they don't want Ad free accounts. So i'd guess your right more money for ad free but eventually I think Ad free will just go away on most of the services. Might take 15 or 20 years to ease John Q Public into that mindset but I suspect TV will...

    D&D 5E (2014) Boon Ideas for a God of Maintaining Cultural Norms and Resistance to Change

    1. +3 to save vs any unwanted form changing effect. If a creature has been polymorphed, shapechanged etc they can Touch that creature and reverse the effect. For something like Shapechange it would simply revert wizard to thier normal form and they'd be able to keep using the spell...

    D&D 5E (2014) Apprentice Wizard- Arcane Burst power

    Or just make it 1d6 plus Int Bonus and most wizards will do between 8 and 10 anyway.

    D&D 5E (2014) Apprentice Wizard- Arcane Burst power

    or if it's just generic Arcane Damage it works as well. Just as long as it's not likely to be resisted.

    D&D 5E (2014) Apprentice Wizard- Arcane Burst power

    yeah this lazy way of doing a low level wizard is bound to cause issues. Players will see it and wonder why a minion apprentice was better than they are at combat and DM's will chime in with deal with it or other counter productive BS. If they are going to throw NPC's at PC's they should be...

    well people only paying for streaming services while they binged and sharing accounts with family were all but gauranteed to put us back to advertising supported model of television production.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    justifying the incorrect use of logic by explaining what you believe to be the normal path is still just bad logic. Quoting learned men to strengthen your bad use of logic by declaring some other smart guy had the same thought and said it better doesn't make it better.

    Wrong. Criminals have broken at least one law by definition. Period. end of logic. Nothing in the definition says they don't follow other laws. A criminal can break only one law follow all the others and still be a criminal. please logic better.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    well your victory is someone else's loss. People in that mindset seeking a victory aren't usually in the mindset to have someone explain to them that victory isn't always total and complete and demanding that can mean big loss. all I was saying was using the term with "victory" in it was...

    that and too many people replace knowledge and logic with google and or feelings of how they think it is.

    while I agree with what you are saying the problem often is that people go into every conversation needing to Win. Not sure the term "victory conditions" would help.

    to be fair that can be applied to nearly all communication between human beings. politeness and a show of humanity go a long way. Too bad the internet takes that out of the equation so easily.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    One thing I can say for sure after over 20 years of dealing with the public is some people go into things so wound up and ready for a fight that they can't move forward till they have the fight. It's really frustrating to stand there and communicate with someone while trying to help them when...

    D&D 5E (2014) What, if anything, bothers you about certain casters/spells at your table?

    absolutely correct. This is a problem with flavor vs actual utility. There are probably 20 or so spells that are generically usefull in almost any situation. Making them almost required if the caster wants to be generically useful. And most of the limits on the situationally useful spells...

    D&D 5E (2014) What, if anything, bothers you about certain casters/spells at your table?

    I hate that the options are so few. Sending is a great spell for what it's supposed to be but there should be other higher level spells, or perhaps expensive devices like two way crystal balls that should be available. I think D&D would work far better if the base assumption by designers was...

    D&D 5E (2014) What, if anything, bothers you about certain casters/spells at your table?

    I Do the same most DM's I've played with don't they get frustrated and start making up villain only stuff that causes far more frustration and angst than they realize I think.
