    D&D 5E (2014) Can You Milk A Conjured Cow?

    Here's the thing... The cow isn't necessarily a fey cow. At least not BEFORE it is conjured. It's a fey spirit. It could be an actual creature of the feywild drawn into the prime material plane OR it could be the spirit of a very old tree given a body of temporary flesh, or it could be just...

    Reviewers & Non-Disclosure Agreements

    A) Well yes and no. There is, in contract law, a concept known as a "contract of adhesion." This refers to a "take-it-or-leave it" contract, usually for some necessary good or service, in which there is a gross imbalance of negotiating power and, almost always, the contract terms are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can You Milk A Conjured Cow?

    This question came up this week. My general ruling was "yes, by rules, the conjured cow can be milked. Milking isn't a hostile action, doesn't break concentration, and won't drop it to 0hp. Now, the cow is, by rules, a fey creature in that it is a fey spirit that has taken the form of a beast...

    Why do Americans pronounce centaurs "centars"???

    Why do people use a soft G when talking about "Germania" when there was no soft G in Latin, meaning that it should pronounced with a hard G. GER-mahn-ee-uh. Also, really? Our pronunciation of centaur irks you? As an American, I feel shame on a national scale every time I hear a fellow paisan...

    Same reason we don't pronounce the useless and extraneous "u"s in color and flavor.

    D&D General D&D doesn't need Evil

    Depends on the change in Depends on the change in morals. Darth Vader's change in morals was "Hey! This physical manifestation of the Dark Side of the Force who is hellbent on enslaving the Galaxy is actually going to go through with his long-stated plan of killing my son. I'm down with him...

    D&D General D&D doesn't need Evil

    I most certainly agree. The "redemption" of Darth Vader has always been truly ridiculous when you consider that he committed genocide on a galactic scale.

    D&D General D&D doesn't need Evil

    Which then leads to the Darth Vader question: At what point does a character become irredeemably evil?

    D&D General Why are "ugly evil orcs" so unpopular?

    Have orcs ever truly been irredeemably evil? Because Tolkien said no. Shagrat and Gorbag weren't angels but they served Sauron out of fear, not malevolence. Deep down, even they just wanted to be free to live their lives somewhere "free of big bosses." Who is the most irredeemably evil trope...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fizban's Treasury Dragons Ranked By Challenge Rating

    My party is almost done with LMoP/DoIP. I subbed Cryovain in for Lennithon and beefed up the enemies in Chapter 1 for a marathon set piece. I had Cryovain sent to Phandalin by Venomfang, who I've changed to an Adult Green Dragon to account for the party being level 8 now. As it stands...
