    D&D General Inherently Evil?

    Hopefully not. I genuinely don't have an agenda. This is literally just a thought experiment to see what conditions might be necessary (if possible at all) to count as Inherently Evil instead of socialized to be evil.

    D&D General Inherently Evil?

    How would you design a biological race that is Inherently Evil? I think the main way would have to be through some supernatural imperative. Maybe a race of goblins that are so biologically territorial that they fly into murderous rages whenever someone trespasses on what they believe to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) True Polymorph - Too powerful?

    This. How the heck can it even move? 20 strength is probably not enough to haul around even 60 heads.

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I am very interested in seeing how Fearne develops over the campaign, including the rakes she will inevitably step on. She seems to have two defining characteristics: One is a general impulsiveness that comes from growing up in a plane with orange and blue morality. It's a very classic fey...

    D&D 5E (2014) Command and spike growth

    I don't think we should take it so literally. This one seems pretty firmly in the "Case By Case Basis" category.

    D&D 5E (2014) Command and spike growth

    The target starts digging furiously. It loses a round, which is still a decent outcome for the spell, and it's slightly funny.

    Return to Oz: Top Ten Creepiest Monsters (#5-#1)

    I always wondered if these fellows were the inspiration for Junji Ito's "The Hanging Balloons."

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    Perhaps her family's home was destroyed by a gnome and a triceratops? :ROFLMAO: But I will be interested to see what the answer actually is. Laundna gives me way more Hag and Hexblood vibes (with Undead Warlock refluffed to a Hag Patron). I would guess she was a child of Isharnai if we were...

    D&D 5E (2014) 9th level NPC wizard, what is your "Minimum Personal Security" suite?

    Shield, Mirror Image, Tiny Hut, Dimension Door, and Teleportation Circle. One spell at each level that excels at helping the wizard escape from dangerous situations. Preparing Tiny Hut is really nice, because the actual casting time is 1 minute. Then you have time to analyze the situation...

    D&D General Need wheat. Too dangerous. (worldbuilding)

    You could do it through PMs? That way it doesn't look like you're trying to assert dominance. :geek:

    D&D General Need wheat. Too dangerous. (worldbuilding)

    A single loaf of fantasy bread is like 1,800 calories. How do you think the monsters get so big? :ROFLMAO:

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I certainly like it. It's not very long, and you can go back and reference it easily a year down the road. Heck, just the other day I rewatched the Briarwood scenes to see if there's a mention of black ooze.

    D&D General Are Hit Points Meat? (Redux): D&D Co-Creator Saw Hit Points Very Differently

    Even Gygax said that they were more like "Points until you are hit."

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I have a wild theory. Travis has been wanting to play as a werewolf for a loooong time (even made Grog a werewolf in his one-shot). So, what if his character is "The Anger" that the EXU team were sent to find. The group are given a mission to investigate wild animal attacks, and track down >...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dnd 5e, but everything is a “spell”

    I miss encounter powers so much. :cry:

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do Monks only have d8 HP instead of d10 HP?

    While there are nimble dodge-heavy martial arts, the stereotype (to me) has always been absolutely brutal training above and beyond other class stereotypes. Only Barbarian shares the same stereotype, with its "struggle to survive every day" theme.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is your least favorite class in 5E?

    Monk. It's the single most rigid class in the game when it comes to which attributes you need, which makes it irritatingly limited in the character concepts you can create with it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Twitch Breach and huge data dump with some purporting CR earned $9 million over three years

    Decades of socialized behavior can do a number on... well, everyone.

    D&D 5E (2014) How much spare gold does your character you have?

    I invest in trade organizations, small businesses, land grants, art objects, etc. So, never enough.
