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

    It helps if the details are not piecemeal and scattered. And if I don't almost have to join the Inquisition just to get a friggin' answer. I don't like lugging around comfy chairs! Because insulting something until it attacks you doesn't require mechanics, even in 3E. There is no d20 roll to...

    Monte Cook Games Announced Numenera 2: Discovery & Destiny!

    Tweet I didn't criticize, for the most part. I just said he was part of a team that was ultimately toxic to its members. Some teams are like that; talented people, but putting them together brings out the worst in them. The thing is, a lot of people back then were certain that Cook would, like...

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

    It's used as a measure of baseline knowledge. That's why the attribute bonus applies to any Intelligence-based knowledge checks; even if an 10-int PC has added the same amount of knowledge as a 20-Int, they still are disadavantaged because they had a lower knowledge level to begin with and won't...

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

    "AoO melee combatant." That tells me everything I need to know. Basically, you had someone who relied on overspecialization that works most of the time, but ended up crippled in a situation where it wasn't as useful. As for impugning RP skills: I have details provided by you. And the details...

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

    That's real life. The game doesn't function that way. Within DnD, the Intelligence stat actually does measure your knowledge to a degree. Also, age is one of the main factors, but having a high age and a low knowledge actually works against you in IQ tests, as you'll score lowly for your IQ if...

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

    Intelligent measures, among other things, mental acuity and information recall (according to the PHB). That and the fact that 3-18 are considered the human norm range covers knowledge; dragons are really no more knowledgeable than a really smart human. As for age: One look at the white dragon's...

    I'm surprised the warlock did as well as it did. Everyone I know complains about them. Still, we need to fix the legolases and sorcerers.

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

    Because ants attack five million people every year. "Calm indifference" doesn't describe "it killed someone, so we must hunt it down and kill it so it doesn't kill others." And that's the exact logic used most of the time. And, yeah, there have been animals that were threats to humanity. None...

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

    Not even close. Classic strawman involves not addressing the argument at all, but addressing an entirely different argument under the guise of addressing the first argument. What I did was a variant of an improper transition. This is actually refuted by the Monster Manual. Here's the Int and...

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

    Even if they were chanting "Murder the human" over and over again in a sing-song voice while looking directly at you? Superiority complex at that point tends to respond with, "okay, they're trying to be a threat, kill them." Which, incidentally, is the standard human response for any animal...

    Take A Look At The Gen Con 50 Museum: First Draft of D&D, First Traveller, & More!

    Fourth image down. The picture of the Horticulture Hall sign talking about the museum. It's spelled the correct way the normal word is, not the spelling of the game's name.
