My interpretation of RAW is that you can "stay hidden" in light obscurement. You need a good place to start Hiding (like heavy obscurement), but then you can move through light obscurement and remain hidden as long as you're not seen clearly. This makes it much easier to explain a wide variety...

A special place in my heart burns with eternal hatred for Dark Queen of Krynn. Don't get me wrong. It's a very good game from a story perspective. But the sheer amount of Save or Die spells made the experience miserable. I liked all the other Gold Box Games, though!

Somewhere in between two different things? A MEDIUM. :ROFLMAO:

Voted to remove Darkvision from Elves.

I care about the game world quite a bit, and one of the greatest feelings (for me) is playing a future game in the same setting and seeing lasting impacts from those prior characters. For example, one character invests a large amount of his treasure into a ship based trading company. Then, in a...

Gnome are small folk with pointed red hats. I suppose some distant gnomes could have white hats, but only if the papa still wears red. :mad:

I read a very cool halfling concept - a culture of born adventurers. Because of their innate luck, the halfling people have developed a much smaller fear of death precisely because they escape it so often. While there are certainly home bodies and halflings working the farm, everyone has a...

I count the Gold Box Games as "a D&D RPG" that first introduced me.

I'm not that good of a comedian.

We are (all) far too quick to assume a lack of competence, discipline, or good intent from people who make jokes, might be overweight, or don't conform visually. It's so socialized into me I have to catch myself. 🤯 I would much rather have a legacy of making people smile, than a legacy of being...

Reminds me of ye olde Dart/Light Crossbow days.

Such a great series. Interesting note. The famous theme song for B:TAS was based on the old Flash TV show.

That's how you cure a cold. :ROFLMAO:

I agree. Stereotypes exist for a reason, and must exist to be subverted. Need a candle to cast a shadow, and all that.

Matt made an infamous joke about that during a live Q&A. :devilish:

I charged $20 per person back in the day, so a 5 man group was $100 a night. The biggest issue BY FAR is getting decent people. I had to deal with some genuinely entitled, disgusting, and sometimes even abusing people. Don't get me wrong, there were some really nice ones as well, and those are...

Tasha Beastmaster Ranger actually makes a great reskinned Necromancer. Entangle can become grasping skeletal hands, Fog Cloud has silent but screaming faces, Cordon of Arrows are sharpened bones, Spike Growth is an entire field of razor sharp bone shards, Conjure Animals are skeletal versions...

Cleric that turns against the beliefs of their god, and uses their powers to oppose said god, is also a well known trope.

The books don't go into extreme detail, except to say that the mountains become choked with heavy snows, and that the winter seasons make the people and wolves lean with hunger and desperation. These are mostly one sentence blurbs. There is also a line about winter coming and going for several...

Peace Cleric + Quandrix Sorcerer + Metamagic Adept is looking particularly delicious. Bond > QBless > SFunction is a whole bucket of support.
