    D&D 5E (2014) Was I in the wrong?

    (Note: Ilbranteloth had a similar objection.) This is more storytelling not indicated by the OP's description. This scenario basically re-writes the scene. The more effort you infer the DM went through to justify not giving the ranger a simple perception roll, the more implausible it is that he...

    D&D 5E (2014) Was I in the wrong?

    I was thinking a bit about the 'ranger can't see details of objects in the armor bundle' scenario when I realized what felt so artificial about it: neither can the blacksmith. Now, granting the armor bundle could, theoretically, be turned this way and that to improve the view of any particular...

    The Common Room http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/livingpf/images/5/53/Ethane.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/200?cb=20150423143956Listening to Barlo, Ethane nods. "These things... whatever they are... seem to have rather limited mental facilities, to say the least. So far, they don't...

    Pathfinder 1E [LPF] Perception is Reality

    The Kitchen Vincenzo slips away from the table as the gnome leaves for stew. Upon the inkeeper's return, Maui engages the little man in conversation, giving Vincenzo the chance he needs. Shuffling quickly down the half-height hallway on all fours, he peers around the corner to find the gnomish...

    Pathfinder 1E [LPF] The Haven

    As Pirvinia asks about the nature of the footprints, Far'zeil returns, emerging from the level 2 passageway on the north wall, as had been suspected. It becomes obvious that the upper level latticework provides access to the two level 2 exits, one on the south side of the east wall (G), and one...

    D&D 5E (2014) Was I in the wrong?

    OK, do you think any of these scenarios (special counter, LOS bag and wandering seller) proposed to prevent the ranger from seeing the goods really happened? If so, which one? If need be, perhaps we can ask for clarification.

    D&D 5E (2014) Was I in the wrong?

    I am merely rejecting two scenarios offered on the basis of two things: (1) The major stuff is apparently covered by the OP. If it is not, then the original account is so flawed we cannot begin to discuss it. (2) Both scenarios offered made very specific assumptions about what was going on that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Was I in the wrong?

    Yes. Between this 'angled bag scenario' and the 'odd counter construction scenario', people are now trying to justify the DM action through inclusion of rather odd events that certainly would have warranted mention. In fact the DM did tell us what he did highlight in the scene, yet these were...

    General Discussion

    Completely as a opinion call, I'd say... maybe. The primary determinant for me would be whether the race is known to exist in E'n at all. For example, I have used Ratfolk and Drow as NPC's. You've used a Dhamphir. However, this way of looking at it is difficult to check on the fly. Perhaps a...

    General Discussion

    Read RAW, a Witch cannot take this feat. A special attack is a specific monster mechanic and the witch doesn't have it. Additionally, the Bestiary is technically not in the list of approved sources for PC construction. There is historical exception for Bestiary mechanics in PC's when...

    . . . . Ethan Emberdawn . . . . Upon Barlo's questions, the gnome steps closer, throwing his towel over his shoulder. "Uh, no... not in here. I mean we had, we, Tritower, had a scary girl. She was more like an remorseless demon-childe. Her heart was black as night, I assure you. Maybe that's...

    Pathfinder 1E [LPF] The Haven

    Upon Pirvinia's command, Far'ziel heads for the northernmost exit on the east wall and, after a short distance, turns left and disappears. Her motion kicks up less dust in that passageway than in some parts of the room. The room has started to take on a barely visible haze from all the activity...
