    D&D General My player did the bag of holding + portable hole thing and got sucked into the Astral Plane. Where is he?

    It says "random location", so you must randomize! At the same time, astral travel is at the speed of thought (travel anywhere takes a "day" unless a psychic wind is encountered), so any location is merely flavor/color. What matters is what might be encountered nearby. Nevertheless, for flavor's...

    D&D General Languages suck in D&D.

    Ah, okay. It looks like I might have picked that up from Robert Foster.

    D&D General Languages suck in D&D.

    Nevertheless, Black Speech was made in mockery of Quenya with which it has many correspondences, so could be seen as a form, or at least derivative, of Elvish. For example, Quenya urco, orco becomes Black Speech Uruk.

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

    Bible emits a low "Oof!" as she stands unmoved in front of Cordit, absorbing the blows of the giants' stones with her solid and enlarged form. Summoning all her strength, she steels herself for one last stand. She uses her bonus action to regain hit points. Second Wind : 1D10+10 = [6]+10 = 16...

    Sword & Sorcery or Bust

    In my D&D games, I resolve overland travel in roughly four-hour increments, and I scale my map so that's the amount of time it takes to travel from one hex to another. Depending on terrain type and other environmental factors, it may require a navigation check to move into the desired space...

    D&D 5E (2014) What could 5E do to make wealth worthwhile?

    Whereas I have it take the same five or six days, but the cost per level changes depending on class. For barbarians, bards, fighters, paladins, and rangers, the per level cost goes down. For all others, it goes up, and for sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards, it goes up by a lot. The rationale...

    D&D General Muscular Neutrality (thought experiment)

    Look at the first three definitions. Examples of definition four given are “slave to fashion/technology”, “slaves of liquidity” (speaking about markets), and “slaves to the clock”. You can speak in a similar way of someone being a “slave to altruism”. That doesn’t support your argument that such...

    D&D 5E (2014) What could 5E do to make wealth worthwhile?

    My descriptive text is probably too terse on this. (It’s basically just my personal notes, so I can keep track of how this works.) But the dual pricing (“with tutor” option) only applies to characters who have not completed training for name level, so I think we’re the same on this. While the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about slings

    Make cleric and druid part of a highly limited selection of playable classes. Slings will be optimal ranged weapon attacks for those who choose Dex over Str, especially the ones that use shields and don't choose a subclass that offers an expanded weapons list.

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

    Bible turns as Nosnra rushes past. "Avask there, chief!" she calls out. "S'jusk you an' me now. Le's dance!" She crosses one foot over the other, crouching low as she lowers the tip of Waithe at the center of the chief's body mass and launches herself through the air like a spinning torpedo...
