    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

    I think we were also waiting to see if Quinn's cosmic omens negate one of the attacks that hit him. Otherwise, I guess he's down for the count.

    D&D General What makes for good antagonists?

    They have “good” written in next to alignment. :)

    D&D General Why do good monsters exist, from a game design standpoint?

    They provide variety. Sometimes the monsters are good. This doesn't mean they won't attack you sometimes, maybe even as often as evil monsters. They might not know the PCs are good after all (if they even are).

    NPC Deception/Persuasion and player agency

    The crosses are for when they want to hide the truth of who they really work for.

    D&D 5E (2014) Skill Ranking

    I'm not sure if I follow this line of reasoning. Who decides it's more valuable to be the guy who remembers things about magic and the other planes than it is to be the guy who remembers things about the natural world, or the guy who can navigate, track, hunt, and forage, or the guy who can keep...

    NPC Deception/Persuasion and player agency

    Is this for a D&D game? 5th Edition? If so, you are correct that "you believe them" is not the best way to narrate a successful result of an NPC's check. In fact, if a PC's belief is in doubt, rather than call for a check, the player has the authority to decide one way or the other because they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Intimidate the worse skill in the game?
