  1. Gladius Legis

    D&D 5E (2014) Game of Thrones stars to play Dungeons and Dragons with Kate Welch for rednose day.

    Will one of them roll Wisdom (Insight) checks to not forget about the Iron Fleet?
  2. Gladius Legis

    D&D 5E (2014) To much 5th edition content?

    Funny, the usual complaint is the exact opposite: Not enough content.

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone made feats into tiers?

    Those "low" attacks become a lot of attacks if there's several of them and they're all attacking you. Then your chances of using it increase again. Even at high levels, threats in the form of saves are typically once per encounter or recharge, so in rounds outside of those it is still useful.

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone made feats into tiers?

    On what planet are these garbage? (Other than Defensive Duelist not really being worth it until Lv. 8 or higher, but you could say the same for Resilient.)

    D&D General New Baldur's Gate III Teaser Trailer

    I find it absolutely hilarious that you accuse me of arguing in bad faith when, (1) I've sincerely asked you multiple times to provide sources and evidence on what these FR naming conventions supposedly are, and you either refuse to provide them or you can't, (2) multiple people within this...

    D&D General New Baldur's Gate III Teaser Trailer

    I'm not pretending. I just don't see it. But whatever, if you're not going to explain it, then fine. Khalid = popular Arabic name Edwin = popular English name Minsc = the capital of Belarus with its last letter changed from a "k" to a "c" Mazzy = real-world name with Hebrew origins Keldorn =...

    D&D General New Baldur's Gate III Teaser Trailer

    Assuming your premise that elves "usually" have exotic skin tones in FR (where are you getting that from?), why single out BG3 for this when pretty much every elf in BG1 and 2 and Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 all had your typical human fleshy tones? I mean, what is the standard FR naming...

    D&D General New Baldur's Gate III Teaser Trailer

    This complaint really makes no sense. I was unaware that the Realms, and particularly the Sword Coast, had a "look" it was supposed to conform to. What is that exactly?

    The Snyder Cut is being Released! Wait .... what?

    Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman are legit two of the worst movies I have ever seen. And I cut my teeth on some MST3K material.

    The Snyder Cut is being Released! Wait .... what?

    It'll be a mess just like the theatrical cut, but with 100% more edge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Favorite things in the playtest that never made it

    The various playtest Rangers were, on the whole, MUCH better than the final product both mechanics-wise and flavor-wise. Rangers were prepared spellcasters all the way up through the final public playtest (September 2013). So their arbitrary switch-over to a spells-known caster came only after...

    D&D 5E (2014) It is OK for a class to be the worst

    Not quite. It is one UA Ranger feature option, Tireless, that removes a level of exhaustion with every short rest. It can be taken at Lv. 1, thus making Ranger a way-too-attractive dip for a Berserker Barbarian. (Tireless itself is OK if taken after 6 Ranger levels, so that's what the change...

    Unearthed Arcana Revived, Noble Genie and Archivist Revisited in UA

    This makes the feature a lot less flexible. Many spell levels are lacking damage types. If I were to change the feature, I'd require that the Wizard have the spell they want to rip damage type from prepared, thus potentially making them spend one of their precious preparations on a spell they...

    Unearthed Arcana Revived, Noble Genie and Archivist Revisited in UA

    It's no more of a pain than a standard familiar. The meat of that feature is the teleportation. The resurrection part of it is a dead-last-resort emergency button and clearly a ribbon. I'm OK with that.

    D&D 5E (2014) It is OK for a class to be the worst

    You can say that about the Ranger class and its core features in general.

    Unearthed Arcana Revived, Noble Genie and Archivist Revisited in UA

    Loving the Scribe Wizard. It's like the old UA Loremaster except not broken in half and a lot more flavorful. The Genielock is pretty cool, too, though if it makes it to print that pretty much eliminates any chance Limited Wish will be a spell. Didn't like the Phantom Rogue when it debuted and...

    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    Clerics needed a grand total of 1 first-level spell to match or surpass the Paladin and Ranger in physical combat. Druids didn't even need that. All they needed was Wild Shape. And then the Animal Companion made Druids twice as good in physical combat without casting a single spell.

    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    Paladins were Tier 5 in the 3.5 tier list, written up by 3.5 players. Calm down with your edition warrior accusations. They were demonstrably an ineffective class. They were subpar melee characters. Their spellcasting was a joke. Their Smite Evil was weak even when it could be used at all.
