I'm not surprised. Disney has been behind copyright extensions in the US forever. Just as a vweu superficial copyright overview /"what-if" exemplars including rpg impact ( disclaimer: IANAL, YMMV, etc) 1790 copyright -14yrs that can be extended one time The public domain had most things...

My approach is that most jewelery is fundamentally valued based on material content plus a relatively small amount for labor (10% or less). Some of this is from my assumption of "spec" artisans for expensive things, where the buyer provides the funds for the materials as part of the contract...

Here I was thinking it was Simon Green's Deathstalker series, which is it's own kind of sword & sorcery & super-science.

Escaped dungeon! 20 months IRL! (Princes of the Apocalypse)

I use Babylon 5 as my role model. I love the are multiple layers of story lines. There is the big-picture metaplot, long term factions each with their own internal & external conflict arcs, the various entities and factions that feel they are immune to current events or are just ignorant, and...

Yes but in accordance to the table's encumbrance rules. I don't usually mix and match encumbrances based on travel mode. So If the winged Solar has full ground movement rate while carrying (strengthx14)lbs, they have the same weight allowance for flight. If they lose 20ft of ground movement...

5e requires a tuning fork "attuned to a plane of existence". That could be from the plane or just skillfully crafted.

To piggy back on what the previous poster said, the Ethereal borders the Material planes....all of them. So in theory they can wind up adjacent to other realms. Navigating to the Hells may require charting a course using other planes as reference points in regard to some other aspect of the...

Yeah, I misread the spell levels in OP. Contagion is good at that level, given you can then weaken any one save type, meaning your non-necro spells also get a boost. And if you have big bad with a habit of teleporting away you can nerf them for up to a week. Bestow curse is good, especially...

Eyebite. Lasts a minute, has a couple of options to take even big baddies out of the fight by making them flee or sleep (fun fact, dragons aren't immune to sleep spells) Sickened is normally a weak choice b/c saves make you immune to this casting, but disadvantage on saves makes it quite...

What RAW? Their movement rate by RAW is immense. Since range is 120ft, that's up to 240ft of movement. Hmm. Seems like by RAW they can move about in any fashion. Now, can the illusion be made to react to others? Carrying on a conversation is a back and forth exchange sustained over time...

Ah, but if the caster uses their action to Animate the illusion (which is able to sustain a conversation per Major Image) the illusions can dodge said arrows. Which gets us to the nuhuh-uhuh-nuhuh loop of the archer and caster arguing if the illusion can dodge arrows. Rule hole! (I propose...

I beg to differ, they are awesome in this setting. Silent image is a 1st level spell that lasts 10 minutes, can be up to 15ft across (Large) and can be animated. An illusory shadow or ghost can occupy a number of foes in that time. A weirdly shaped translucent floating blob with a variety of...

I am not sure how you get something different from It says during either your move or action you can interact with one object or feature of the environment for free. "Free" is not an action of its own, ergo, a non-action. But it must happen as part of a character's move/action. Meaning...

I think That's not quite correct. in the OP you say Meaning "interaction" is a non-action that occurs as part of another action/move. So you could poke a suspected illusion on your turn for free, assuming it was stationary. And that its an illusion of an "object or feature of the...

I find the "boulder" rules in phb just fine. Did you shoot an arrow into a boulder? Yeah, it's an illusion. Did you watch your ranger's arrow fly through a boulder? Yeah, that's an illusion. To me there are 2 holes: 1) Illusions of intangible objects : "did you see your archer's arrow fly...

Yes but those "close" are of the "too little time to form up" kind of close. Roman legions would take hours to form up. At that point, "too close" is 3-5 miles away. Hannibals's "close range" ambush of Flaminius at Lake Trasimine had the Carthaginians hiding a half mile to a mile away...

I think this neglects the fundamental maneuvers that are rolled into mass combat and are considered to obvious as to not need mentioning, except they do. First up is distance. Ttrpgs seem to believe that most enemies encounter each other at like 75ft. The number of adventures where the set...

I'm a 3e type by nature who would love nothing more than a table of +2s & -3s but I will try to follow 5e design philosophy and come up with useful rules that are in keeping with what exists. (Edit:fixed some grammar that was unclear on illusionist vs perceiver) 5e2024 illusion mechanics from...

I also forgot to mention low-level illusions mimicking higher level spells. Silent Image does a great Wall of Fog. And if your allies know it's an illusion, they can quickly see through it. Or even better, make the illusion before combat starts so they can disbelieve then "animate" it forward...
