If you look at the current cosmology of planes the Abyss is the trash can of the universe where all the stuff that even hell has determined is too bad for the universe to contain get's thrown. All the blood war really is is hell doing it's job and containing the demons till they get ejected...

getting the danger vs heroic craziness right has been a running target , which has never ever been actually agreed on so yeah. They've done that, they'll at some point borrow from 3rd or even 2nd or other games again in the future. If the game stops changing only the new players need books and...

Let me correct that. D&D players on internet forums. (the rest of the world usually doesn't care)

LMAO......Even in 1970 when I was 11 25-35 year old gamers bought most of the game's at the game stores. I saved for 6 months to buy my DMG after my parents got me the players handbook for christmas. For many many years most of the tables I played at were younger kids who's older brother...

painful post isn't it. Don't feel bad I"m only a year away from Grandmaster Grognard, except for playing with Gary I meet all the other requirements. Hopefully they have a Gamers nursing home for us.....

to be fair we had those discussions when keywords were in the picture. Some people have no common sense and some people willfully and intentionally argue the details to the point they want it to be even when it's clear to the 90% that it was never intended to be that way. And some people just...

yes it said you were disentigrated if you went to 0 hp. while that my conflict with the new death save mechanic it was quite clear. you become a pile of ashes. even back then. Nothing I've ever read about death saves made me think they were for situations like that. This is simply getting...

seems perfectly clear to me. A high level spell designed to disintegrate things actually disintegrates the character if they go to 0 or below. seems to be a working as originally intended to me. I don't think Death saves were ever intended to save the character from being a pile of dust...

Since you have to roll with each wish that does anything other than duplicate a spell of 8th level and below and risk a 33 percent chance of never being able to cast wish again probaby not more than once or twice i'd guess.

So are we going to make all martial attacks require saves to do damage?

And at any level the martials have unlimited damage potential with very few save or suck abilities. Those blindness, deafness spells are great when they work. Teleport unless the cell is antimagic. It's the same tired argument every time assuming that the magic will work every time when in...

Why are martials less influenceful. First of all everyone always prefers the big bad buff hero. Second casters are ony overpowered when some retro campaign where the tires old trope of "Magic" southern bell covers her eyes "has all but vanished from the realm" if there are plenty of...

VTT's just seem to take too much work. Though with 3d printers and all the other options to have cool maps etc I understand people wanting cool things. It just seems they tend to take away the magic of the player imagining it better than a 3d print ever could

That's what DC univere is for don't ruin STAR TREK

No the problem comes in because most people think general distribution of rolls should be an individual thing but that's not how random works. A player could roll badly for every roll in a campaign and still be a normal part of the randomness of using dice. The statisticl model includes the...

my first 1st level character died to a natural 20 crit in the second round of combat. I've also had a higher level character literally stand in the tunnel of the encounter while being mobbed by creatures and miss for 6 full rounds even though he had the best THACO in the group. The dice can...

With things like Watchmen superhero Genre isnt really any diferent. Depends on the table.

To be fair. Most games are built around combat and in a world where antihero's are as revered as hero's, you can probably substitute the two interchangeably and the conversations validity holds

Probably. But it's only a problem when not everyone at the table is wanting the same kind of game

Good idea because just the players can mess this up. A few minmaxers can make that roleplayer feel useless every time the dice come out.
