So in my last dnd game, it was meant as an extensive exploration kind of campaign, so I made a very detailed map for it. Distances and travel times were actually a big part of it. In my next campaign, it was a much more high octane campaign more on action and less on details. So I barely...

I guess in my head I had long though of Dedra as a "hothead" who believes she is only one that is competent, and so often takes matters into her own hands outside of the core chain of command. But perhaps I need to rewatch season 1....I do think you have brought up an excellent point here and...

I just wanted to say....this has been one of the most productive rules debates threads I have seen in ages. Calm rational debate to narrow down and define the actual rules and come to some reasonable conclusions. Just excellent!

I mean sure, just as we both are excited about this new superman....but we will decide if that excitement is justified after we see the movie. Trailers elicit excitement and concern, and we talk about it all in the thread. That's just how it goes!

I'll be honest, the new History of the World they did....was not good. Comedy has its time, comedians have their high points, but then there is a moment when they just "don't seem funny anymore". I still watch and quote the OG spaceballs today, but I am terrified that any new one would just be...

I do think its a fair concern, because we have seen a number of ensemble superhero movies recently fall flat, and one reason was they just spread their narrative investment too thinly across too many characters. Now yeah, if most of the JL is just kind of there for battle and to give a one...

if your 20th level, an epic boon is the least of your OP concerns:)

Number 2 seems smoother, number 1 is both a big change in the overall probability but also players are going to hate the constant disadv. let the boss be scary sure, but don't nerf the players I say. Also a simplier form of this that is already in the rules....inspiration. Gives the boss like 3...

Don't mess with the S!

shrug, imo if the relationship had not been a thing, or had just been a quick lip service, I would have the exact same perspective on the characters. We already saw the two characters as work a holics that were utterly committed to their jobs, the relationship did nothing to push that in either...

The BBEG doesn't have a lot of options. He wasn't built as a combat character (he was more the masterful manipulator type), so his battle spells are limited and they aren't doing much to the paladin so far. He basically has greater invis and mirror image for general defense, as I already have...

Having thought about it more, I think the A5e legendary resistance mechanic is the right approach here. Effectively LRs work the same in A5e as 5e but the monster is normally weakened after a use of LR. And so what this does is create a "lesser spell effect" without a lot of bookkeeping. We...

So just had to share this one. Last night's session culminated in a crazy combat and here are the details! The Background Action Hero Rules The Fight The Paladin after a brief cinematic discussion with this god and realizes that if doesn't hurt the BBEG's forces now that the rest of the...

Honestly even if Larian had committed to making a BG4 I would be skeptical. As you said, its lightning in a bottle....BG3 was a masterpiece, you are unlikely to generate even one of those. Expecting anyone to churn out continuous ground breaking works is just asking for disappointment.

Also it might help to compare the more productive relationship in the form of Cassian and Bix. What is interesting about the relationship is that Bix pulls Cassian in two very different directions. On the one hand, it is the trauma she goes through that serves as one of Cassian's principal...

so to be clear, I do agree that Dedra's ultimate arc and ending was perfectly fine and poetic, no problem with it. I am just saying that the Syril's involvement and all the time spent on their relationship had 0 to do with it...and so the payoff wasn't worth the time investment. You could have...

The problem wasn’t that they didn’t go that direction…it’s they went no direction. If Dedra had started to hate her imperial workers after his death, that would have been interesting. If Dedra had become crazed, so dogged in her pursuit of axis that her fellows were terrified of her, but she...

I think grapple is a reasonable way to go, though I would argue carrying a willing party member (who might even hold on to you and ease the weight distribution) is a lot easier than moving a person actively trying to free themselves from your grasp and who probably also is trying to harm you...

I would argue that there was no real character Development for Dedra. At the end of the day she was what she was...its just that her house of cards ultimately came crashing around her at the end. I mean she was still the same arrogant relentless "I have to do it myself" individual in the second...

Just finished it up myself. Overall, pretty happy with Andor overall and season 2, but it had its flows my quick take. The Good 1) We saw a "real" rebellion that was complex and interesting and messy. Just like in real rebellions, there are divergent factions that often fight with each other...
