Clearly Bargle is guilty. Why, you may ask? Because Bargle is always guilty.

See now, I think a DM who merely poisons all the fruit is failing to appreciate the full potential of that flaw. I imagine the PCs encountering merchants trying to find out what happened to all their stock...farmers who wake up, flabbergasted, to find their entire crop of balefire peppers laid...

Agreed. If taken intentionally, it's one of those things you write knowing that the character will be drugged or poisoned going in. I once made a drow Divine Soul who had sought aid from Eiliastraee when his house decided to kill him. I decided that she had given him powers but also instilled...

Unless there is some discernible sign of the character having been forced to make a save, then yeah, this is using metagame knowledge. HOWEVER, the situation is already one that might ellicit distrust from some people. It's not a circumstance in which I would tend to get on peoples' case as...

What do you all think? Race - Shadar-Kai? Class: Assassin (Rogue), Hexblade/Fiend Warlock, maybe Undead Warlock? Shadow Sorcerer? Vengeance Paladin, Conquest Paladin? Oathbreaker Paladin? Soulknife? Blood Hunter? Some combination of the above? Background: Something in which its parents...

He is or becomes the God of Secrets, right? Known for stealing sensitive information and blackmailing others. Give him mind-reading powers, and the ability to replicate PC abilities and use them against the PCs. Spells and abilities like Maze, Weird, Phantasmal Killer. And a battalion of...

Could always set up a new thread when/if you feel like it. Presuming I haven't missed such a thing already :oops: Or not.

Certainly the Potterverse is different from our own. Within the context of the fictional world, flying on a broom, say, or levitating objects with a spell is fairly mundane. From the standpoint of our world looking in, it's difficult for me (personally) to empathize or imagine myself within...

I likewise apologize if my response came out harsh or as a "you're doing it wrong" sort of thing? Harsh doesn't phase me, personally. In answer to your question: It may just be a matter of my personal perceptions, really. Magic just feels more...special...or believable (versimilitudinous?)...

Or all people have different ideas as to what is fun or balanced. Some with considerably more experience than others.

Sounds like a you problem; or more accurately "your groups". The groups I play in, and I personally as DM, alter spell effects, interpretations, or enemy susceptibilities all the time to make the game better. (Not on the fly, of course, that would be cheating). Unless you are referring to...

One of the things I've personally been a bit iffy on in 5e so is the idea of cantrips being the base attack routines of casters in 5e. Or at least being able to fire energy bolts at will. Doing so kinda makes the magic feel... less magical... to me? Amongst other things it seems generally too...
