    D&D General D&D 'Infernal Font' for $10 for Extra Life

    I agree with @Hurin88 it looks too Gothic calligraphy. I liked the letter shapes of 4E Barazhad a lot better. Barazhad Font | dafont.com Unfortunately, that font has mediocre kerning. But of course not as bad as Hellvetica.ttf | Kern in hell

    2000-2009 Aging Badly?

    Jackass hasn't changed. It was puerile and stupid then, and it's exactly the same now. I'm glad your taste has improved. Edit: NM. General Tabletop Discussion means the entire system. Which doesn't make sense, but OK.

    D&D General Comparing Giant Sizes

    Well clearly you wouldn't last long on Paradis Island. The ability to quickly eyeball monster height is an important survival skill. I like to think of giants as humanoids scaled up: Hill Giant = 4x feral Halfling Stone Giant = 2.5x Goliath Frost Giant = 4x Human Fire Giant = 4x Mountain Dwarf...

    What's the deal with the text editor?

    @Sacrosanct auto-capitalization isn't a feature of the editor. That must come from something else on your iPad. I'm guessing you have a 3rd party keyboard app, or malware. But in any case, you should post about that in another thread.

    What's the deal with the text editor?

    Testing the XF editor in FF. Here's another line. And now I go back to edit and reformat this line. It takes at least three to trigger the error. So let's put a 4th just to be sure, then go back. Yes, XF is working correctly in Firefox now. Thanks!

    What's the deal with the text editor?

    Further investigation: the bug is in Froala editor v2.9.6 used by Xenforo v2.1.3. Xenforo 2.1.4 (latest) downgrades Froala to 2.9.5, which fixes it. Meanwhile, Froala is working on 2.9.7, which will also fix it.

    D&D 5E (2014) 9th level spells compared by equivalent lower level spell value

    Wait. Are you saying your evil overlords don't deliver scenery-chewing monologues and demands before unleashing their "unstoppable" hordes? 😜

    D&D 5E (2014) 9th level spells compared by equivalent lower level spell value

    Shrug. Hypothetical but implausible maximum is what "up to" means. A top-tier caster should be able to Meteor Swarm for 10x Fireball pretty often, and 20x in the right circumstances (4 teams of mid-CR enemies surrounding your party).

    What's the deal with the text editor?

    @Umbran I apologize. You're right, "don't have the resources" is a legitimate meaning of "can't". Bug List: Xenforo returns two bugs, neither of which sound like this one. If you or someone else at EnWorld could post what you know about it, I'll try to get someone to work on it.

    What's the deal with the text editor?

    What I think you're saying is "we choose not to fix this because Firefox isn't following the spec". Fair enough. Do you know the Bugzilla bug number? Bug List: enworld and Bug List: js-editor show zero bugs.

    D&D 5E (2014) 9th level spells compared by equivalent lower level spell value

    5x damage * 4x blasts * (2x radius squared) = 80x. If you're facing hundreds of 100+HP creatures covering a large battlefield, then it would take 80 fireballs to do the same amount of damage.

    What's the deal with the text editor?

    The following bug is 100% reproducible for me: write a multi-line post (either new or reply). go back and do any kind of formatting on a line that isn't the last. the formatting correctly affects the selected text. the formatting doesn't affect the following line. the formatting incorrectly...

    D&D 5E (2014) 9th level spells compared by equivalent lower level spell value

    Firebolt is a single-target attack spell though. Mathematically, Meteor Swarm is 4 non-overlapping castings of Fireball, each with 5x damage and 4x area of effect.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is so good about gate that it leads the current 9th level spells shootout?

    Sometimes, on a scale of 0 to 9, Gate goes to 20. It's literally "divine intervention". In any game with the standard cosmology (aligned outer planes) you pick a being that hates the other side, not you.
