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

    Are they the best players? Or merely the ones who pay more subscription time because they like to do it hard mode and that takes more time? I think Game companies have a vested interest in rewarding those hard core mode players by selling the myth that they are better. But better at what...

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

    No conformity is not the opposite of Compassion. Indifference or uncaring is the opposite of compassion. The Bible does emphasize that Group think or one speakings took over the people. But they got slapped down for trying to build a tower to heaven when they fell into that group think. The...

    AD&D 1E AD&D players and referees, what do you think of ascending AC?

    I think Armor should just soak damage or be DR. AC should be roughly the same for all Human sized objects, then you can increase it with Dex, magical effects etc. But if Armor just soaked up damage it would make more sense to me. If you've ever done any sparring you still get bruised and...

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

    This says it better than I ever had. The trying not to fail is just exhausting and not fun. It's also a bit too close to real world BS that we are all trying to avoid.

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

    God didn't hate conformity. he was very happy till they tried to build a tower to heaven that mortals could use to go visit before they died. God divided them so they couldn't cooperate and get there. He punished them for Hubris not because he hated conformity. The bible is actually all...

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

    not sure on the details in the rules, but we've always made arcane damage more like "magical energy" and Force as a seperate effect. Think fire, electrical, cold, radiation, arcane with force being more physical. the benefit of doing it that way is you can have magical raw energy attacks...

    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.

    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.
