    Salty's Salt Shaker Designed by Heward and an apprentice, this salt shaker is empty. Once per day while holding the salt shaker, you can whisper a command phrase and use one charge. The salt shaker then fills with a special salt, which can either be shaken over food or into one's hand. If...

    These cursed pantaloons cause someone to be ignored by people who drink red brandy. Next: A horn that makes no sound.

    D&D 5E (2014) One of my players screwed up. Hard. How do I make it fun without doing a tpk? LMoP

    This is a very good way of handling it. Especially as it can serve as a lesson to the PCs that they can actually redeem some enemies and build their list of allies. A group I observed when I was learning turned an entire orc tribe into allies just by keeping in mind a similar lesson. This came...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help! I Suck at Villains!

    Have them the guardians of a sentient chicken that keeps pleading with the PCs to turn it back to normal. The chicken is actually a polymorphed ancient red dragon necromancer who plans to use a special ritual to absorb all life on the continent and ascend to godhood so it can rule over the...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Historical context] Why "6 to 8 medium/hard encounters" meme is obsolete

    I think the number of encounters recommended is mostly so players don't complain about a lack of fights.

    D&D 5E (2014) What character sheet do you use?

    I have a lot, depending on the permanence of the character. It can be anything, like forum samples, official sheets, random pieces of paper, other players, notebook pages, napkins, electronic generators... Basically, whatever suits that character and how long I expect them to last.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hit points explained

    Just don't call it the Highlander model around some players. Tends to result in a TPK because, as they all know, there can be only one.

    Is D&D Entering a New Golden Age?

    I hope that the DnD film does very well. It may help our game a lot. But, yeah. I think we're in a new golden age. This is likely to never go away, sadly. Or if it does, it'll be replaced with something worse. I agree with you on the books.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hit points explained

    How I handle hit points: Magic is infusing you and making you hardier. That's why, over time, a warhammer to face goes from potential death to a minor annoyance.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the most powerful spell?

    Prestidigation. You can ruin someone's life if you use that spell right.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Why don't you just shoot it?"

    Eh. Probably does. I'll admit that after the Gluteus Maximus comment he made, I made it a point to stop treating him with kid gloves and start making it clear I actually do have some idea what I'm talking about when it comes to distraction. This is also why it is you shouldn't use personal...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Why don't you just shoot it?"

    Dude, we've been lightly insulting each other off and on. I found it amusing when you did those jabs at me. That you didn't notice it does undermine your point about wisdom, though. So quoting the actual text of the rules is arguing in bad faith. I am amused that you just now noticed that...

    Monte Cook Games Announced Numenera 2: Discovery & Destiny!

    I would if Monte were actually gone. Despite not working for WotC anymore, he still continued to develop for 3E. In particular, licensed products for WotC for awhile. He also, after 3.5 hit, continued to support the 3E rules and effectively was a splinter developer trying to continue a set of...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Why don't you just shoot it?"

    Which tells me precisely jack about which character was the one taunting. Remember that issue about details? 1) Irrelevant. You could have still tried distractions that don't rely on a friggin' mechanic. 2) Except that your inability to provide any actual detail what those antics were gives...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Why don't you just shoot it?"

    And yet, if you look on these boards and even in our own conversation, you can see places where minor insults worked to keep attention. Including from you. Are you implying that you are a grade school kid? And now you're contradicting yourself, since you claimed you ignored it when I pointed...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Why don't you just shoot it?"

    And yet, no where is that time actually reflected in the game stats. Right. That's why you replied to it as though it supported your point. Wisdom isn't willpower. Wisdom is about perception and discernment; willpower, as we define the term, comes closest to being under Charisma or...
