Deleted as well. Reply to renbot's post that I didn't read properly either. LOL

You can also have Bigby's Rude Hand. Basically it has the same effect as Vicious Mockery, but it makes rude gestures at you instead of verbally insulting you. :)

I would do it this way: Bigby's Punching Fist (or Bigby's Backhand) evocation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute You create a Tiny fist of shimmering, translucent force in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The hand lasts for the...

Yes, humans are more naturally charming and persuasive than elves. Slightly, like 2.5% better on average. And they are, on average, 2.5% less dexterous. And sure, Lotusden halflings can be wiser and more perceptive than gnomes. Why not? Isn't that more interesting than, "No, they are the same as...

I don't believe that the WotC designers believed that the racial ASIs were meant to be archetypes at the outset of 5e. It strains credulity that they didn't assign racial stat bonuses as representative of biological abilities of the species they were portraying and were instead just trying to...

I 100% agree! Halflings, as a general rule, being much smaller, should be physically weaker than orcs. But it is perfectly okay for a player character halfling to be the exception. Total agreement! Yep! Agree again! Here we disagree. Racial ASI doesn't point you to a single class, but it does...

I played very little 4th edition, but I was there for the "great warlord debate" soon after the release of 5e. My understanding of it is this... When making 4th edition they assigned power sources and roles to all of the character classes. Power sources were Arcane, Divine, Martial and Primal...

I chose Commander and Tactician. Those names seem to be descriptive, like the Bard, Cleric or Rogue, or even the Fighter. The names also seem, to me at least, evocative in that they immediately bring to mind a positive image of someone that is confident and in control of the situation. Which...

It is absurd to accept that a three-foot tall halfling is as strong as a six-and-a-half foot tall human or tiefling. At least it is unless you make some further assumptions. Previous version of the game reduced the carrying and lifting capacity of small sized characters to account for this and...

Things that I thought of when I saw this thread! "Oh! It is a point buy vs. standard array thread. Well that is a nice change from arguing about rolling vs. point buy." Starts to read thread... "And now it is rolling vs. point buy again." Then... "Wow, this is an old thread. But maybe it was...

To continue on this thread, because I enjoy discussing D&D and I no longer have anyone to talk to about it, so this board is all I have for now, I would like to explain that my view point comes from a simulationist perspective. Now I don't want an absolute simulation, but I want a semblance of...

I will not pretend to have read the entirety of this (extremely) long thread, but I have read quite a bit, and I have seen your answers, but I don't think they actually answer what I (and others) are asking. But you don't need to post them again (and I'm sure you don't want to :) ) at this point...

Wow. That's insulting. I think everyone here understands the new rule of putting your +2 and +1 in whatever stat you want. That is not the problem. The problem is that a great many of us think that is a bad way to set as the default. Leave it as an optional rule, it's great! (in my opinion) But...

I don't believe for a second that ASIs were never intended to represent biological differences between the fantasy races (species) in D&D. And to say that they were never intended to in the past is blatantly false. To say, "This increase reflects an archetypal bit of excellence in the...

Mindra looks thoughtful at the mention of the orb, then mutters to herself, "I don't remember our arrival here at all. I was out until Theremin gave me that potion." Mindra was unconscious when Liam put the orb in the center impression on the table. But it didn't travel with us when we...

"I come from a small community of Elves South of Irine. The war has been over for quite some time and most of the people in my village are just focused on building their community and trying to ignore politics as much as possible. Honestly it was so dreadfully boring that I decided to go out and...

Double post

Mindra takes advantage of the time to rest, entering a trance for 4 hours and rejuvenating her mind and body. While the others still slept she thoroughly explored their accommodations trying to find any place she can observe things going on outside or places that can be used to hide or ambush...

Mindra will just try to remain unobtrusive as those with better social skills make our opening bid.

Mindra only lost temp HP, so she is good on that front. The -3 strength will just have to wait until she gets some sleep. As we approach the village Mindra will put her bow down on the deck right next to her so that it is out of sight, but can be grabbed easily if she needs it.
