Late to the party. Favored Foe no longer helps you track?

I thought Aragorn and Legolas were the definitive ranger trope?

You have to put all those faithless people somewhere, and a wall is a pretty efficient and functional shape. You don't want them wandering around aimlessly like those Asphodel folks. Sure, you could just annihilate them utterly, but what if you need an army of souls later? Waste not, want not...

Drakewarden can change the essence of their drake every time they summon it. Fighting an enemy vulnerable to cold? Swap to a cold damage drake. Fighting an enemy that uses lots of fire? Swap to a fire immune drake. Elemental hazard standing between you and the Macguffin? Summon an immune drake...

They shouldn't be. But there is something so viscerally satisfying about missing an attack, then shoving them out of pure spite. :poop:

The fights vary dramatically with how you use the terrain. Walk towards the enemy? The fight is several times harder than backing away from the enemy and leading them into your trap. This has been the case with Larian games since DOS1Divine Divinity, and in many ways it's a good thing since it...

Same. I see Hobgoblins as Uruk-Hai, as opposed to Orcs.

I wouldn't mind a PC Kender. It's good to kill a character to establish an enemy is dangerous.

Technically do-able!

Kender are a chapter of Space Marines with a somewhat popular game franchise.

Pact of the Dungeon Master When you choose this pact you must decide if your patron is Kind or Malicious. Each time you sacrifice a snack to a Kind DM, they grant you advantage on any one roll of your choice after you see the result, but before you know if it's a success or failure. Each time...

Yeah. This is a hilarious case. The improvised weapon is only a weapon during the attack, which might or might not qualify as using a weapon to attack with depending on when the spell checks to see if you are using a weapon to attack with. Which is INDEPENDENT of the check to see if you have the...

Played a bog-standard Life Cleric with 17 STR and 8 WIS. Sword and Board with the Sentinel feat. Actually did pretty solid job, since my intention was being somewhat sticky and dropping Prayers of Healing after combat. Grapple is interesting if you can combine it with high movement speed. I did...

It was a reference to The Final Word With Perd. (which I only know since I googled him because of this thread)

And that's the final word.

This is my recollection as well. It was received quite well, and made the bestseller list for several months. I mean, doing it multiple times is certain to make people grumpy, but once or twice should be fine. A 5.1 or 5.2 at most.

You're describing a mismatch of expectations at the gaming table. It definitely happens, and is one of the reasons why a Session 0 is incredibly important to have. But disruptive behavior (be upset, disengaged, etc) can happen with any type of player. From the method actor with main character...

What is this, I don't even? o_O

I know it doesn't answer your question, but I thought it fun to mention. Jorōgumo also got a specific entry in Oriental Adventures.
