The real effect was on class selection. If you didn't have high enough scores you couldn't play some (many) classes, with the paladin's "let's start with a 17 Cha and add a few more tough requirements" being the hardest to qualify for.

Wastri's entry mentions the "Sacred Polystery". Does anyone know what a polystery is? I can't find a definition.

It's likely already been mentioned, but Star Trek: The Next Generation had an incredible finale. Especially given that it was before tv shows were so... serialized, I guess? where the episodes connect to a through plot that runs through the season and so forth... anyway, for being from before...

You really should have poked him with the pummeling, grappling, and overbearing rules in the DMG.

Well, there looks to be significant power creep for martial characters. Depending on exactly what happens to full casters, this might end up being basically rebalancing the two pc types against one another or it could be just straight up power creep overall. That said, making martial...

I argued for this hard in my feedback to all the early playtests. The later ones all seemed to lean into short rests.

Won battle, ended super early.

Right- "creature type" isn't a thing until 3e.

Has anyone mentioned the 1e incarnation of the cube of force yet?

Actually... I am a paladin/wizard.

Oh man, we had this issue where I (a paladin) would charge ahead of the group and nobody would get the benefits of my aura. Last session, I figured out (and we executed) a fantastic exploit. I have a bracelet of spell storing. After a couple of days of passing it around, now EVERYONE has a...

A pc in my 5e game has a vorpal axe whose name is Snicker Snack.

Probably not. I'll use them for special npcs or monsters once in a while, but generally won't bother.

I have to say that one of the best adventures I've had the pleasure to DM is Of Sound Mind, a fantastic low-level 3e psionics-focused adventure written by Piratecat- not sure if he is still around here. It has the best climax of any adventure I have ever run. I'll say that of the 5e adventures...

I'll be honest, I haven't tried PF2 and I don't have much interest in it. It is far too fiddly for my taste; it doesn't seem to have fixed the issues 3e had, and it seems to have imported the tight math that 4e had- which was both one of its best and worst features. I AM, however, interested in...

I'm thinking of throwing P1: King of the Trollhaunt Warrens in, too- it was one of 4e's few great adventures. That would fit nicely at levels 11 to 12, I think. So I still need a level 10...

The warlock often has the ability to push out pretty good damage, and can sometimes combine something weird or interesting with e.g. Disengage or Dodging.

Man, am I the only one who loved the 1e Dungeoneers Survival Guide? And the Wilderness SG as well?

So U2- Danger at Dunwater- it is! They'll be starting it tonight. So I have or am considering using: (level 1) the Whispering Cairn (Dungeon Magazine)* (level 2) the Secret of Bone Hill (L1)* (level 3) Danger at Dunwater (Ghosts of Saltmarsh) (level 4) Salvage Operation (Ghosts of Saltmarsh)...

Very. I want to be able to cross over easily and with minimal fuss.
