    D&D 5E (2014) Do you let PC's just *break* objects?

    It amazes me that in a thread about clarity, people use abbreviations. I doubt i'm the only one forced to make history checks (in my case failing) and the rigmarole of investigation checks (still failing). experience

    D&D 5E (2014) Skywrite: a weapon of mass communication/coordination

    But Skywrite would be less sophisticated and, perhaps, less personal than twitter. Though perhaps personal writing styles might manifest for each writer. Written grafitti might be more the level. Imagine if teenagers attained ability to Skywrite.

    D&D 5E (2014) Two of my Players are Getting Married (Dome of Heaven Players Ignore)

    Ask them, "Ideally, is there anything you'd like to develop for your character in terms of items or advancement in abilities or skills?" When GMs give items it could be because the GM wants to build the character. Players may either want to build things in their own way or they may like having...

    D&D General D&D memes thread discussion…

    Maybe, or maybe you just have good luck. There's a logic as to why the girl might be a vampire. I wouldn't call it necessarily psychopathic to kill the girl but this is only based on the evidence of looking at a single panel in a cartoon - but I suspect it might be selfish not to give the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Levitate and grapple or similar effects

    OK. Despite the wording: I guess, one way to rationalize it could be to consider the grappler as equating to part of the carried weight of the grappled. The first target option of the spell is the creature so, if a caster attempted to target a held, non-loose, object, either the spell would...

    D&D 5E (2014) Levitate and grapple or similar effects

    Thunderwave is a spell of "instantaneous" "thunderous force" capable of blasting targets. Levitate can be interpreted as just making "one creature or loose object" weightless while also facilitating a 20 ft per six seconds, and (per spell description) very arrestable, average speed. If the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Levitate and grapple or similar effects

    I'm inclined to think that this is the right interpretation per the spell's description Even at Str 8 or lower, the target can move if it can grip onto a fixed object. Hold onto something and, if you've gone up, you can easily go back down. The description starts "One creature ..." and I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combo: Bestow Curse or Dust of Deliciousness, Bane, Dominate Person, and Modify Memory

    Anything else you'd add to the mix? How would characters, or built-into-world chancers, best make this work? To start with, let's make sure we've got our casters together and in the mood for concentration. Once at least one party member has got the mark alone and unsupported, and that would...

    D&D 5E (2014) Skywrite: a weapon of mass communication/coordination

    It could also be easier to regulate and guard against various forms of charm than it would be to counteract propaganda in the sky. Reasons why a state might not opt for the heavy regulation or outlawing of forms of magic could include a potential for reaction. Anonymous Skywrites might escalate...

    D&D 5E (2014) Skywrite: a weapon of mass communication/coordination

    I also can't think of a spell that could be of more use within a jurisdiction with regulation against magic than Skywrite. could abound. Meanwhile, there's also the considerable issue of: Sure, these are spells that could certainly leave targets feeling more than disenchanted: Charm Person...

    D&D 5E (2014) Skywrite: a weapon of mass communication/coordination

    So a potentially less leveled artisan could spend a day to paint a sign on the side of a building that would last for years. A caster well progressed in spelling could spend 10 minutes to produce some cloud-like writing that would last for the hour in which concentration was maintained. Once the...
