can you be any more non sensical?

if you can’t differentiate between player knowledge and character knowledge you’re a pretty naughty word player

except it’s not because rpgs have these things called rules, ya see. but hey, thanks for contributing nothing to the discussion

hmmm... such as learning the weaknesses of an enemy who keeps coming back after you think you killed it, for example? 🤔 except that’s exactly what those skills do. nah the less than stellar game experience comes from dms who can’t be bothered to do even the bare minimum to actually create a...

The difference here is that in combat you know you’re fighting an enemy and you know dodging helps you to not be hit. insight is used to tell whether or not someone knows something hidden. a better comparison is using perception to break stealth on a hiding enemy trying to sneak attack you...

So? If we’re talking universal truths here everything you’ve said up to this point is equally invalid. If you want to go that route feel free to ignore what I say from now on and I’ll happily do the same for you. Got it. You’re cool with your players cheating. understood. yet allowing your...

nope. I’m caught up. I just disagree with what you’re saying. And Don’t worry- if you had an attitude at that at my table where you couldn’t handle your pc somehow not knowing everything you know as a player and came out with “guess I’ll make an app and go get a pizza?” You can just tell that...

hey look-one of the single most used sentences said by players to defend their jerkish and disruptive behaviors. I have a special table I roll when players think that lets them get away with stuff like metagaming, pvp, and other things that break the social contract we agreed to at the start of...

by... realizing that this is a game and stuff needs to be adjudicated by the DM? I mean if you’re incapable of realizing doing that helps keep in chara character more than “pc mystically knows all the player does about anything”, wow. Just...wow.

Simple- if there’s no evidence in game or knowledge your pc would have to help come to a decision on this, roll a 1d4. On a 1 or less you come upon fire and acid as a possible solution. Every round you make the 1d4 attempt and fail, the roll gets a cumulative -1 to the result (hence “on a 1 or...

man If only there was some way to showcase preexisting knowledge a pc could have outside of metagaming as a player. Man like I dunno, some skills about nature or arcana or religion Or even history, or maybe being a favored enemy of a class. Damn, since there isn’t I guess you’re right, there’s...

so if the player reads the entire module and uses it to bypass bad things and go for the good stuff only do you reward them there too? 🙄

if only there was some sort of skill that helps with this sort of thing. Maybe something that provides insight into someone’s intentions. Hmm

Because you aren’t making processed food that is shelf stable and you’re providing an energy boost to a character 1) goldfish actually have decent memories 2) are you saying your PCs level every session? Because you’re saying that this will trigger fairly often by using “goldfish memory” 3)...

1) eldritch blast: only cantrip that progresses via additional rolls vs added damage dice. Combined with its intended use (warlocks with agonizing blast) and it can’t be beat 2) toll the dead: the best damaging save cantrip vs attack roll 3) booming blade: a must for the tactical kiting rogue...

yeah the point went over your head. It doesn’t matter what happens as a consequence, you know why? Because your behavior as a dm has caused the players to get into the murder hobo mindset. instead of creating constructive ways to spend cash that allow the players to be involved with the world...

yeah this is what causes players to create murder hobos. When they’ve done the hard work and earned the cash and weak npc peons think they can chisel the PCs, you’ll soon have dead npcs and newly minted murder hobos.

No worries. I’ll continue using the RAW for this because it makes sense and doesn’t do something stupid like assume you can GWM with a longbow

Ah but if you keep the qualities of the original weapon you do, because that ALSO means you keep the ammunition quality, which means you’d also need to use that ammo whenever making a melee attack. If you’re going to assume you keep all qualities, then you have to use all qualities, not cherry...

No. I’m fine with him chucking the thing TWENTY Feet without disadvantage. If you actually paid attention to the rules you’d know the first number is normal range, the second is long range, which applies its own disadvantage. except that you’re wrong in every aspect here. One it’s not easier...
