The images are not very grotesque are they? Sinister, yes! These were the exact images I was expecting.... Drow can still be Demon Worshipping Dark Elves, but not all Dark Elves are Drow. No one was playing a Drow PC in the original modules....times changed. Here are some quotes from...

What you just wrote is speculative fiction. What scientific inquiry has actually shown is that Homo sapiens neanderthalensis was artistic, materially advanced, and pretty much just like US today and back then. Approximately 20% of modern Homo sapiens sapiens DNA is from Homo sapiens...

Shame, I am enjoying the Psi Die mechanic on my now 5th level Psi Knight. It can be harsh, when the Force is too much with you! Last session ended with me out of Psi Recovery actions and my Psi die shrunk to a d4. Ohh well...I’m still playing it, and having a blast.

One is tortilla chips, the other is nachos. Chips ⚖️ <Nachos

I’m glad it is fun for the player and the group. Both Rogue and Warlock are great 2 level dip classes. The player, however, would have certain advantages now, by being a single class character, instead. A 6th level Rogue would have an extra helping of Expertise goodness and Uncanny Dodge, and...

The following tweet of Jeremey Crawford troubles me: The different worlds of the Material Plane are, indeed, on the same plane of existence. Teleportation is possible between the worlds, but the DM decides whether such travel is reliable/safe and whether sigil sequences are available for...

I didn’t say it would be easy.😇 Oath of Conquest, sorta steals the Warpriest’s thunder in this regard. Sure it is only once per Short Rest, but +10 to hit plus GMW +Smite is the gold standard. The platinum standard is +10 to hit plus GMW+ Smite+ Arcane Smite.😈

Right which means, you need more than one spellcaster. 5e spellcasting is a team sport like volleyball....Set up your team mate, then Spike. Missing with an attack is not the same as having the monster make a Saving Throw. It is more akin to missing on all the attacks from your Action Surge...

In campaigns where combats, typically last 2-3 or even 3-4 rounds, the cost of casting Spiritual Weapon adds up quick, just for 1-2 attacks. If you have played the Phandalin based adventures from the Starter/Essentials kit, then you will be knowledgable about short length combats. 😜 Homebrew...

I was being flip. The law of non-contradiction isn’t true, because, simply put, it sometimes does not apply. The Middle Way by Nagarjuna, is an excellent text to experience the logical methodology of the tetra-lemma. The philosopher Graham Priest has very interesting papers dealing in part...

I know Draconians, Draconians are friends of mine, Dragonborn are no Draconians.🖖

Is bulimic Paladin, spewing elemental bile after eating during a rest, really a crucial niche? 😉 So subpar Triton is the best Lion-Man.😿

That isn’t Gygax, that is 1960’s Star Trek. One week the Enterprise using ‘normal’ propulsion, travels to an Earth analogue that suffered a global thermonuclear war, that the Enterprise’s Earth did not suffer through. Next week, a rarified accident sends Kirk to the Mirror Universe where Spock...

I had a PC rogue take the Tavern Brawler feat, and used a piece of wire as a garrote. 1d6 bludgeoning/Finesse/Two Handed is also the stats I used, for the improvised weapon. Then it was just a matter of applying the rules.

Firstly, having multiple variants of PC races for Tritons, Eladrins, Minotaurs etc isn’t a major problem, from my viewpoint. Individual DMs will select whichever one they wish to use, just like with Humans/Variant Humans. One can chose to use all of a particular races’ variants, and now have...

Politely, might I suggest this is an old modality. It is the same tune that has been whistled from the games inception. One’s class is not the same as one’s character. A Cha(Persuasion) check against a Sibrex in Descent/Avernus is given a DC of 15, for 9th level adventurers, to learn critical...

Honestly does it need to? I’m playing D&D, not MtG. At this point we have one MtG inspired setting with Leonin, another setting can always modify the stats or create a subrace. Look at how many Elf sub races exist after all. Obviously there is a significant overlap in the Venn diagram of...

I’m a bit surprised at how prevalent an answer “Wing It” is. From the DMG, I like to have an idea of what the XP budget is for the Adventuring Day, and also the XP budget for Hard and Deadly Encounters. I have this information typically on post it notes, or written in my DM notebook as a guide...

Hundred Handed One...99 problems but blocking is not one of them.....at least in MtG.

So how does the bestiary for Theros compare to Ravinica? Ravinica is a great source of monsters, and based off the table of contents and comments in this thread I am optimistic that this book is going to be good, for the bestiary at least. As an aside, one aspect about D&D design over the...
