MAN, some of those posts didn't age well.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree about that.

And that's different how? Do you just "Like" the script or do you live it and its context?

Some tattoos have meaning, including expectations that they have to be earned, not just taken on because someone "appreciated" them. That's why it can be seen as appropriation. You're clicking the "Like" button - you're not living the culture.

How to organize best depends on how most people are looking through the Monster Manual. An alphabetic arrangement that includes the monster's stats is best for quick reference at the table while running the game and/or when you know the name of the creature you're looking for. For those...

Kinda harkens back to AD&D days, actually. Save or die/suck spells were encounter enders then too, but higher level enemies had better saves and magic resistance. So while the spells were pretty effective at low levels, as the casters got to higher and higher levels, these spells got harder to...

Kind of a bit of everything, really, and a lot depends on the game. Superhero games - yeah, clearly exceptional from day 1. Call of Cthulhu - generally not exceptional but doing exceptional things. D&D - a bit of a mix of starting a little exceptional and becoming more exceptional. Overall...

Nothing wrong with a Con of 14. That's a +2 hp/die and a +2 to Con saves. Pretty robust in any scale that isn't skewed by the stats of player characters.

Sly Stone has passed away. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jun/09/sly-stone-pioneering-funk-and-soul-musician-dies-aged-82 Now, go Dance to the Music!

I hear people make comments about agency too, but I have a hard time characterizing these effects as loss of agency. I certainly don't think being subject to a suggestion, charm, dominate, or fear effect would cause a character to lose any more agency than lying on the ground a 0 hit points...

Well, I guess I was thinking a little more along the lines of the mass suggestion with that one since I was prepped to do it for a campaign I was running (and never was in a situation where I could deploy it successfully). But I'm not certain "Run and get help. Your friends need it." would be...

I give out legendary actions to any boss monster, regardless of "legendariness".

I think one of the problems is the players also veto uses. Is it reasonable, on the flipside, for a spellcasting creature in its lair that the PCs have invaded looking for loot to suggest "Go home the fastest way you can." Pretty much yes - at the very least, I have a hard time finding a way to...

My reaction as well. "You playing a duck?!?" "HELL YEAH, I'm playing a duck!"

He could, but I have no idea if he could take people with him or send them in his stead.

After Take 10 debuted in 3e, one of my players cottoned on to the possibilities of speeding play with it while finding traps. As they explored a trap-riddled gnomish ruin, his rogue, who was well designed for being a trap finder, took 10 on searching for traps as they explored except for...

Well... we've thought that before. And here we are.:confused:
