I voted mu/Jello. They slow down combat, but so do bonus actions, reactions, reroll effects, and any number of levelled spells -- pretty much all the things people do other than 'roll to attack' which people complained about fighters not doing and everyone else doing. So I can't really lay...

If it is a fun spy action comedy, more power to it. That said, it gives me some serious 'who is this for?'/'who was asking for this?' mental whiplash. I mean, I know it's not like it is unprecedented. The (pre-reboot) Evil Dead and Chucky films pretty much stopped being horror franchises and...

That's a good point. Most movie-goers didn't/don't know an Iron Man other than RDJ's. To the point that he could give him a personality he hadn't previously had. Prior to the MCU, what RDJ did with him was more Hawkeye's personality and Stark was more 'rich, smart, arrogant, and alcoholic,' and...

I agree with Paul that this only occurred because Hank Pym is not necessary for the MCU (there are plenty of other inventor/smart exposition-characters to fill whatever role he might otherwise fill in a movie). Likewise with Aco that it is specific to certain characters, as we see with Rhodes...

I'm honestly not sure what's actually being posited anymore in this microtangent. The existence of hands-free flashlights does not negate that typical flashlight holsters are designed to hold flashlights to you while they are not in use (few have methods of maintaining rotational orientation)...

Verisimilitude I think is pretty easy. Leaving pure historical realism arguments aside, it seems within the realm of plausibility that a convenient handless lamp could exist in a quasi-medieval setting. Discussions about light angle and heat and jostling of the flame and such can be shunted to...

If we're diving headfirst into realism, we could go any number of levels down the rabbit hole. First off deciding 'when' D&D is really in terms of historical reference also where and how cutting edge/obscure (I'm sure that shield lamp above really existed, but was it commonly known of, much less...

You can still provide your own. The "own" just implies ownership, not biological production. Than you'll doubly appreciate your cheaters once the pill bottle text becomes too close and too far away at the same time.

Neckbeards are optional and you are expected to provide your own. Mandatory for your 40s are back pain, squinting at pill bottles, complaining about things being too loud or too quiet, and 6-12 extra-thick hairs growing out of the tragus of each ear.

Think this might have gotten transposed in the typing.

I see where we are talking at cross purposes. The text reads: "Heighten Spell Cost: 2 Sorcery Points When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to give one target of the spell Disadvantage on saves against the spell." I was focusing on the...

First, to clarify-- heighten spell applies disadvantage to ONE saving throw, even if multiple entities are making saves. So it decidedly increases the success-likelihood of a Counterspell, but only marginally increases the overall success of a well-used Fear, Hypnotic Pattern, or multi-target...

From the classic movie Footloose? ;) And a Rambo and Chuck Norris cartoons. And kids toys for Terminator and Alien. And saw the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original comic and said 'that needs a goofy lighthearted cartoon and toyline...' Too young for me, but I babysat for kids with any or all...

Is that when 50 Cent tours with Nickelback?

I think the long tail on this one will be very long. No one wants the last gasps of this fiasco or the next steps of the principal actors to go unnoticed.

The (giant mutant nuclear) space attine ants.

While we are listing out important things to know, it should be mentioned that were you to do this when applying insulin, you could go into hypoglycemic shock (and then both of you could be in danger). Also, epi pens have a shelf life (12-18 months from manufacture), and although studies have...

I played a ton in the 90s. I think Umbran's comment about it being "both the best RPG, and also the worst, depending on who was running and playing" is incredibly accurate (for all of White Wolf World of Darkness, but Mage in particular). This is a game that needs everyone on board with trying...

It's hard to decide what is most iconic to 3e. For many, it is the feats. For others, the formulaic calculations of cost-of-magic-item-by-plus, wealth-by-level, challenge-ratings, etc. For many, I think it is the character build-choice decisions. Many of them are going to directly conflict with...

Shaping up nicely. Few things I noticed or would suggest: For druid multiclass, looking at the spells each Circle of Land selection gives might be beneficial. Wayfarer background has typo: "and THEVE'S TOOLS." In the Nick+Hunter's Mark section, there is the line "But what if you get Hunter's...
