    I appreciate your thoughtful replay. I will definitely follow up once I gather my thoughts together.

    Sorry Folks, I just can't get into 5e

    I've seriously tried, but I cannot get into to anything beyond Basic D&D and AD&D1e. D20 just does nothing for me. Every version that came out, I tried to read the game rules and be part of the interest but the game is so different than Basic/ADD1e that it might as well be an entirely different...

    D&D 5E (2014) What DM flaw has caused you to actually leave a game?

    I've heard that before, but only when it comes something that would give PC's a bigger edge than they do already. For example rolling critical hits.

    D&D 5E (2014) What DM flaw has caused you to actually leave a game?

    What DM flaw? How about hubris? "My game, my rules." There's nothing like bringing your character to a GM whose "world" resembles very little of the magical world we know: Such as hardly any Sword or Sorcery. 90% of the game are endless discourses with other people or maybe dungeons and...

    Angels and Horrors in Basic D&D (Rules Cyclopedia)

    D&D is supposed to be fun and break from the dregs of reality, but in some cases even D&D can spawn beings that terrify the most courageous of souls. At least until you get to 20th level and above and had a DM who gave was generous with magical items, then pretty much every monster in D&D...

    D&D 5E (2014) MCU's Asgardians in 5E D&D terms

    Greetings, as an former comicbook collector of predominantly Thor and Doctor Strange, I just wanted to chime in. While it is true that the movie versions are not gods, this was actually borrowed from the alternate universe of marvel comics called, "Thor 2099" and somewhat from "Earth X"...

    D&D 5E (2014) Norse World

    Animism and Polytheism are same thing? Please explain. If you mean similar that's different. From where did you read that English was a product of Northern Germanic Language? A source or citation would be helpful. I think we are getting too far away from the core of fantasy gaming and...

    Just Things I've Made

    Sometimes I feel like a million dollars, but when I look in my bank account. I am quickly reminded: not.

    How many gods is too many gods?

    Okay and? Apparently AO is Greater Deity as already described in the DM guide. Overgod is likely another name for a Skyfather, king of the gods.

    How many gods is too many gods?

    So again. The word "Overdeity" is not found anywhere in 5e modules or books.

    How many gods is too many gods?

    Huh? I hope you are joking. It's paraphrase from the Biblical 10 Commandments where Yaweh commands the Jews to not acknowledged any "gods" but him only.

    Not really. You said you had bf, so obviously we figured you were a girl.

    How many gods is too many gods?

    I can't find my D&D book, but IIRC they have all of the information you need to create your gods. An Overdeity is not mentioned to have any super cosmic abilities. Again, IIRC he just has the only divine power, so there is no way for any other gods to exist or something like that. But of...

    How many gods is too many gods?

    Yep people clearly have strong opinions when it comes to to things: gods and God. When you talk about an Overdeity, you might as well be implying you are talking about God. Let's step back a minute, because in games terms, even Overdeities have stats right? Although there was no actually...

    Wasn't Metatron an angel? I would think he would be a Solar, perhaps one with full HP.

    D&D 5E (2014) Werewolf Damage Immunity Question

    I'm pretty sure that they can't burn the lyncathrope, since that is using it as a weapon. Now if the grapple it, bind it and burn down the hut they left it in, perhaps. I think that tid bit can be left up to the DM. But generally if the rule says "only" then that is the only means of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Werewolf Damage Immunity Question

    I don't know any rule that allows you to keep your dexterity bonus while unconscious? That's always been an automatic hit for all weapons, and automatic kill if the weapons are slashing or piercing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Werewolf Damage Immunity Question

    This makes sense. The magical defense against certain weapons, activates when an attack is imminent. So drowning, falling damage or even natural lightning strike could theoretically still harm them, since this would not activate the magic defense. In addition, perhaps monsters with the same...
