Better rolls on the rumor table.

Dwarf-forged undergarments offer the best support. So I've heard.

Capital! But must spread XP.

Well, I'm speaking particularly of the "British people awkwardly opening doors, finding others engaged in marginally compromising situations, and then apologizing profusely at the inconvenience they've caused as they try to back away" encounter... Delve format sort of gets in the way of the...

It's hell to lay out, though. I can't decide whether Delve style is really appropriate.

Maybe we should just open the Monster Manual. Griffons are magical beasts. [EDIT: Reading back, I notice the OP didn't mention any creatures that were animals. So for my part, I apologize for the pointless tangent.] Or maybe the Player's Handbook. I have no issue with teaching sufficiently...

I was trying to avoid this by saying "aside," but fine: whether these apes use real language is (1) entirely separate from what ASL is and is not, and (2) entirely the question. The last time I looked into the matter, I found the consensus on whether apes can be trained to actually use language...

Personally, I would rule you have to awaken the animal first. A very clever animal is just a very clever animal, and rudimentary sign language or whatnot aside, it's a different thing to teach an animal real language use, IMO. None of the tomes or manuals actually say that in the DMG 3.5. They...

Are you copying and pasting from a program that replaces quote marks with "smart quotes"?

If you treat it like feather fall (a pseudo-interrupt, or as I'm calling it, an "interjection"), it can protect the demon against the damage he's about to take as well as the same type of damage later on. If you treat it instead like a reaction, then it only protects the demon against the same...

My instinct tells me you shouldn't be able to interject a free action into your own action, but I'm not 100% sold, given that you can interject at all.

THAC0 as in "wacko." Nothing else really occurred to us.

I'm not sure specifically what the "warden thing" is, but if it involves using the free action mark during another creature's action, then it seems to me as though it comes down to whether you want to allow "interjection" as I've defined it above. So yeah, possibly house rule territory. It's...

But feather fall isn't asking us to invalidate the fall; it's telling us that at the point when the fall ends, the target takes no falling damage and doesn't fall prone. So the "is it really an interrupt" question doesn't actually come up in this case, even though feather fall is interjecting...

The spell description doesn't qualify or make any exceptions to the word "transform," so I'd say yes, it actually changes the weapon's game statistics -- both appearance and function. If you transformed it into something you're proficient in, you're proficient in it now, etc. etc.

Absent anything "official," I find myself in complete agreement with this ruling. Suppose we differentiate between "interrupts," which can invalidate triggering actions, and free actions which can take place during other actions (call them, say, "interjections"), but which can't actually...

I think you're both right. As Ryan says above, the specific content of the play is unimportant to the adventure, so summarizing it is certainly something a DM can do without losing out on anything the heroes will need to know, either immediately or later. Heck, the adventure even tells you this...

This. I don't know if I'm just lucky, or what, but the players I had with kooky dice rituals knew better than to eat up valuable game time indulging them.

Boring your players is not something we want anyone to do. Speaking personally, I don't find anything wrong with letting players read swaths of "boxed text" outside the game session in similar situations if you don't think they'll enjoy hearing it read aloud during the session. Good on ya for...
