This is true and it's also a return to form for Dungeons & Dragons as that was its attitude way back in the very first editions as well. I will say I'd never heard of Torog before this thread and I wasn't aware that 4E had actually made any additions to the pantheon.

Thanks everyone! You know, I think Zelazny fans could sustain a pretty epic argument around the sentence I italicized in your quote. My own take is that the way the Chronicles are written always give the impression that any Prince or Princess of Amber could die at the hands of a mere mortal...

I was not completely honest and accurate in how I framed the question, I suppose. What I really meant to ask was "Does the D&D5E ENGINE require Sub-Classes to work or can it get by on just classes?" which would have culled out a lot of less-than-relevant references to D&D specifics and even the...

That is REALLY COOL! I'm not a fan of Baldur's Gate, any of the early Bioware games, or Faerun in general BUT I do so love it when the big kids from the videogame industry where there's actual money at stake come down here to play in the ttrpg industry where there is relatively zero money to be...

This is the most intelligent and thought provoking question I've seen asked on here: props to the OP. Telling characters physiological sensations they're feeling is just flavor or might even convey crucial information ("you can taste a hint of bitter almonds in your wine"). Telling characters...

I think this is the least inappropriate forum for this. It is a very surreal feeling to be trolled, harassed, and otherwise annoyed and inconvenienced by an actual monster. In this case, a serial child rapist. This one. That's why I used the "Hitler cuts you off in traffic" analogy. Because...

Hey, you guys ever play any RPGs where you play as a god or demigod or some kind of autonomous divine entity? (The angels in In Nomine would not count.) Which are your favorite TTRPG "god games" and why? Tell me a little bit about them.

Hey, I'm a writer with the gall to call himself a literary writer even though I write genre stuff--I don't think that genre fiction can't be literary by default like way too many lit crits still think, even in a post Neil Gaiman world. As a PC or a DM I can and do make up, on the fly, prose of a...

So, a classplosion is happening for D&D 5E, and it's overwhelmingly third party. Actually it's been going on for quite a while but I'm just becoming aware of just how many homebrew 5E classes are floating around as I develop my own homebrew classes. Now my own homebrew classes for 5E are not...

Because I actually agree in general with what you're saying about consistency, I want to clarify or maybe even amend my original post. A boss monster for a boss fight dying to a bad save is FINE and I would not fudge unless the players actually felt like they'd been cheated out of a good boss...

I know, I was just kidding. : )

This is really cool. Sorry, that's not a very clever or insightful post. But I like this.

But the Apparatus of Kwalish is a "car" about as much as you are a rooster.

Okay, first off, the answer is probably Tinkerer, second choice Gemini. It would be 1000% Tinkerer all the way, if it had a cooler name like "Artificier" or "Engineer". Now my thought process: Hmm...to me Bloodweaver occupies the same conceptual territory as Warlock and Fateweaver occupies the...

This.

ermagard are we still doing this? It's still 15.

math is fun Well, the obvious answer and potentially the one that's most interesting is: boats. Could give the PCs ship to ship combat in what's otherwise not a pirate game. Give them a nice change of pace. If you're looking for the most efficient way: teleportation circle. For the latter...

I too am torn. Let me try to untear myself. First, I'll note that 5E, which has very few true Save or Dies left, took the general approach to fixing Save or Dies of changing most of them into "Save or take an amount of damage which will very likely kill you". It's a solution of sorts (I think...

Thank you everyone! : ) Yeah, that's the exact issue I ran into with Canonfire, particularly because as someone NOT super knowledgeable on the setting, I couldn't really tell what was canon and what wasn't in a lot of cases (which points to what a good job they did at adding to the setting)...

Thanks! (Um...I see where to set a custom avatar and signature, I'm having trouble finding where to set a custom user title.)
