OK, that was pretty cool! Although, I also kinda saw a related video on how a whip is not an effective disarming tool... eh, who cares. It was the grappling thing that didn't make sense to me. As long as the rest sounds like it's possible, that's good enough for me.

It seems consistent with the way bonuses stack; only the highest one has an effect. So if you have two ways to get cold resistance, the better one should just override the worse one, right? It's like you get a number of additional sorcery points equal to the number of times you are dealt cold...

I'm kind of confused where this notion that you could swing from a whip came from. How does a whip stay attached to a structure if the entire weight of a human is pulling on it?

I actually feel like lightning would be the most appropriate damage resistance. Just as fire is associated with hell and brimstone, lightning is associated with divine judgement and the heavens. Oh, and I'd call Celestial Legacy Supernal Legacy. It just sounds more evocative to me, and better...

Yep, that's it.

I remember Rich Burlew (the Order of the Stick guy) giving his own thoughts on the edition wars as a forward to a bonus comic where the main characters (based off 3.5e) get into a fight with their new 4e versions: The fight ended with the two parties deciding to stop fighting among themselves...

Actually, the rules specifically state that any creature resistant or immune to fire damage will not suffer from extreme heat, and any creatures resistant or immune to cold damage will not suffer from extreme cold or frigid water.

Magic Item Crafting Formulae: I've made this whole ingredient-gathering system for potion-making based off alchemy and it's gonna be great Firearms and Explosives: With significantly-reduced prices because come on Speed Factor Initiative: Because it's cool and inexplicably speeds up fights...

It's actually a divine intervention story from a 3.5e campaign I only read about, but it's neat so I'll post it here:

It definitely worked that way in 3.5e, but in this edition the distinction between manufactured weapons and natural weapons isn't very important.

I like rolling for stats, but I've always been fine with letting people adjust things if they don't get a fun array. Not necessarily a really GOOD array, just one with an interesting mix of numbers. One time I got a lot of bad stats and my cousin got a lot of good stats, so I traded one of my...

Oh yeah, you were that person asking for some help getting started around a month ago. Glad to know things worked out!

Divine Intervention sounds like a pretty cool ability, even if it only works about 1 out of 9 or 10 attempts. Who here has successfully gotten their god to do them a favor? What was it like? I wanna know!

I think the more story-focused groups tend to care less about XP gain.

I was going to suggest Dispater trick them into believing they have outwitted him. Just to put them in a false sense of security.

Erm... actually, when I was younger, the annoying players who got tired out too soon were usually my parents. Huh. I guess I'm just glad they both loved playing games with me enough to do it anyway. Look, I was just trying to do some nice, wholesome complaining about other people and then you...

If going on an airplane you may bring your hands, but you must keep them in a locked box the entire flight.

RPG Tools might have what you're looking for. It's free and also comes with dice and hit point trackers.

This, speaking from personal experience and things I've heard other very good DMs say, is exactly right. It can totally work to run an entire campaign with just a few scraps of paper covered in random scribblings about ideas you have, but don't think for a second you can just make something up...

Tired players. I can't stand it when I set down to play a game and one person's just totally inattentive and lethargic and bogs the whole game down. I can understand if it's gotten late, but if it's only evening and someone is like, "uh, sorry, I'm kinda tired..." it just drives me insane...
