Going by my most recent experiences with living skeletons in RPGs, I'd say typical skeleton behavior includes telling really stupid jokes and going on dates.

Wait, did you choose all four of these cantrips for your bard? Because at first level you only get two bard cantrips. You do start off with four 1st-level spells as a bard though, that might've caused the confusion. Also, something useful to think about: Three of those four spells you listed...

Here, why don't I give you all of them: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?379165-MM-Resistances-Immunities-Vulnerabilities-and-Damage Of the damage types available to you in your bard an wizard cantrips, fire is resisted the most (though note that it's also strong against the most...

Well, that's just for if the alchemist wants to craft magical items. Mundane alchemical compounds like acid or gunpowder are just ordinary chemistry, so any alchemist can make those regardless of magical ability.

By RAW, artisan's tools are for crafting nonmagical items. Alchemist's supplies are a kind of artisan's tool, but herbalism kits are their own category and have specific rules stating you can make healing potions with them. In my games, a set of alchemist's tools or herbalism kit is required to...

If it's not too gauche of me to bring up something that I designed, there is an archivist class archetype that seems to fit in well with the general theme here.

The way the Shadowfell is being described, what with Darklords and misty barriers that seal them in their own little regions, it almost seems like it's trying to become Ravenloft. I don't think I'd be entirely comfortable with a total replacement, but I AM very curious what the Shadowfell's...

Wasn't there a Common magic item in the Out of the Abyss adventure that was a mace that could be made to burn with green fire, dealing 1 extra point of fire damage with any hit? I wonder if the cantrip is related.

It is very heartening how many people saw that I was secretly hoping they'd take the thread title literally.

An all-in-one damage is kind of a cool way to think of it. I think I prefer to imagine it as its own unique thing, though.

While that is a good way to interpret it, damage that is inherently impossible to describe makes it feel very generic. "The magic missile slams into you, and in a way I can't explain or comprehend, you lose 4 hit points," isn't that interesting story-wise.

The flavor of force damage has always seemed a little unclear to me. It usually doesn't go any more in-depth than "this is pure magic damage," and that's not really helpful if you just want some idea of what it's actually doing to your body when it hurts you. I was puzzling over how force damage...

We also have a homebrewed witch warlock by Khaalis: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5earchetypes/showentry.php?e=50&catid=searchresults&searchid=1258 From a cursory glance, it looks pretty solid.

This is awesome. Only thing missing is a way to add "(blind beyond this radius)" and other caveats to a sense.

I remember reading a fun introspective by someone who was asked to run a My Little Pony RPG for a friend: Full story here: http://kazerad.tumblr.com/tagged/Earthquakes-RPG/chrono

Let's not give up on them just yet, maybe we can still have SOME nice things? Like, the question of whether or not healing via motivational speech is plausable seems pretty clear at this point to be a personal opinion. Any warlord class added at this point will, as mentioned earlier, be...

Also that. Sometimes the best solution is to just find other people whose interests align better

I tend to view the difference as clerics have their spells granted by a god, while warlocks have their patrons teach them the spells themselves. If a patron disowned him, he'd still be able to use the secrets he learned and cast the spells. If a god left a cleric, that magic would leave with it.

Gnomes. I still haven't gotten the chance to play the Rock variety and try out that Tinker ability, but when I do it's gonna be SO cool. Given the lack of crafting options for the tinkerer's tools, I'm just going to assume they're for making whatever insane contraptions the DM will allow. And...

Yeah, brains can be weird like that.
