Sounds like a magical version of Argos

Ok, imagine the following scenario. Our heroes are on an adventure to travel to another continent on a diplomatic mission of sorts. The Emperor of Cantha has decided for reasons of his own that he wishes to subdue and conquer the barbaric and uncouth savages of Euronia. Our heroes (being...

Well, if this is really bothering you or some of the players, then simply tell them to stop. Meanwhile tell them three things: Remind them that it's very easy to knock someone out in this game, simply state before rolling damage that you want to knock them unconscious. That's at least how it...

The human race may cry until it cries tears of blood, I think they're a bit dull anyway. Anyway, they still make better wizards then Tieflings do. They may have gotten these things to make them better warlocks mechanically. Which they needed... I should note I'm not really a fan of the new...

As a player I don't mind much, I prefer to give a few suggestions either way to build a "niche" for myself. As a DM I prefer homebrewed, I find the published ones rather tame. I make my homebrewed ones based on what I know about the players personality, playing style etc and even a good...

I think Tieflings are just supposed to be the best race for Warlocks. The Twopact feat is acceptable thematically if you think of Tieflings choosing both sides, hoping to play them against eachother and such. A bit unfair towards other races playing Warlocks though I think that the free at will...

Is it the PC's that are greedy, the Players themselves or both? 1) I would have started at them in silence for 2 min and then blink for emphasis. Then I would tell them in a droll voice that 360 divided by 4 is 90. And if it's the players that are the greedy ones I would remind them that they...

I make a concept first. You can make numbers work for you, and if they're really not correct THEN adjust the concept. throw in an extra flaw for why you have 8 strength or something. Didn't Raistlin come from something like that?

Hello Plane Sailing, Why am I interested? Well, since you seem so curious I'll tell you. Remember a while back I was considering to replace Tieflings with Melniboneans? Well while solving that problem I decided to do something about Elves and Eladrin as well. Don't take me wrong, I loved them...

Has anybody ever tried just cutting everyones HP in half? PC's and Mobs? that might speed combat up quite a bit in lower levels. Or maybe something you'd inplement at level 15 or some other level.

So why do people hate the various races of elves (Elves, Eladrin, Drow etc). Does Tolkien have anything to do with it? And why oh why don't you change them until you like them again?

Half of the fluff was nice, half was boring and unoriginal. Not too bad though. Has anyone noticed though, that he contradicts the PHB? He says that Dragonborn aren't reserved, yet the PHB notes that as one of the dragonborn charateristics.

I usually love fluff but... I'm quite happy with the books being mostly fluffless. While the fluff in the MM is nice the rest of the fluff is terrible. The deities are plastic, the cosmology seems so-so and the race descriptions were made for 12 year olds. The only thing most of the fluff in...

Makes me wonder, do Elves still give other people +1 in perception if their unconscious?

Actually in real life one of the definitions of intelligence (or at least IQ) is the capacity and speed with which we handle information. So while a person with a high intelligence might not be as fast as someone with a high dexterity he can still compensate by factoring in where and when the...

With +25 (making it a total defence of 35) and a monster of level 30 hitting for +33, that does mean that the monster can hit you 95% of the time. This is a monster created with the rules on page 184 of the DMG. I made a level 30 Human fighter to create a best-case scenario to show just how...

I was making a level 30 character when I noticed something odd. Monsters usually hit AC at (their level + 5) while hitting other defences at (their level + 3) However while the AC raises itself quite well the other defences often lag behind. While it's not very noticable at lower levels on the...

It doesn't matter who kills it, as long as it dies under your curse it gives you temporary hitpoints

I think the problem with the zombie rotter (with most of his things) is that he's a brute while most other minions might be soldiers

I think that the "inheritance" rule is terrible. Not because of what it does but because we haven't heard any reasoning for it. WHY do they want to put a rule in there that doesn't make any sense? When they made platemail cost 50 gold, there were quite a few flaws with the matter. Some said it...
