    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    It’s not that straightforward. Invisible means you can’t be seen. Hiding means your location can’t be pinpointed. Because, in this game, you can’t be targeted if you’re hiding but you can be targeted if you can’t be seen.

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    This only seems to deal with sight. Which is the biggest problem with hide rules in general.

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    I saw that in the Times article. But, for the record, I was being facetious. Maybe I should add a winky face to my post.

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    I think you're onto something....the wooly mammoth genes seems like the exact perfect thing for curing baldness.

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    I kind of like the distinction of being aware because it lets you know whether you should roll against a passive perception and when a character can start actively looking for hidden characters. From what I remember of the rules, that was a confusion for some people. If they're aware, they can...

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    Reposting my final thoughts: Hide: You may make a hide check to avoid Detection or to prevent characters from being Aware of your presence. Make a Stealth check vs DC 15 or 10+ highest Perception check of the characters you are attempting to Hide from. Failure means the target becomes Aware...

    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [recruiting 1 player]

    FYI, Oskar made something for Aric in his various forms so we can communicate with you. It's a WIP. I might have to add "distraction" to the list of words:

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    This is a mess but it's just ideas to be organized: The problem with the "Hide" action is it is too narrow in scope. It deals only with sight. I think there should be more language regarding the target's "awareness". 1. There should be mention of ambushing and surprise. 2. There should be...

    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [recruiting 1 player]

    I post fairly often so it’s probably fair to say that, if you check in once a week, there will be an opportunity to post if you want to.

    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [recruiting 1 player]

    Why not convince the dogs to run away if we free them. Convince them to play hide and seek or convince them we have yummy food or something. We are trying to delay them for a day so we get a long rest.

    How do you use the "Trivia" ability?

    Trivia is clearly used for social checks. Used to confuse or daze opponents and put them off-guard. Maybe even to impress. Roll knowledge check using charisma or Persuasion/Convince check using INT “Why does he keep talking about all these useless obscure facts?” “He’d probably be amazing on...

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) OOC

    It's 1 hour invisibility but Gimlack is both casting invisibility and fly. So he has to wait until we're clear of the gates before he casts fly since they're both concentration. That's why we were going to go in first, invisibly. Scope the place out, then use our telepathy to tell the flyers...

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) OOC

    Sure. We kind of showed up in reverse order. The climbers were supposed to Show up invisibly and scout before the flyers arrived. So I imagine Donnell and the Colonel are surprised they became visible early. No plans survive contact with the enemy!

    if you are levitating, Donnell can pull you along. He has a climb speed and can move quite swiftly.

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) OOC (Full)

    I don't know if I responded to this. I'm not sure if leaving Oh-six to follow the others would work? He'd have to sneak through the portal. There's really nothing Morgan can say or do to help in that regard. I don't have scry, only Sending. He doesn't even have a familiar to send. Or any...
