I've been meaning to do this anyway, so sure. As you can tell, the pricing for permanent magical items (consumable items cost half what they'd be if they were permanent) increases by 5 x 10^(a number related to rarity). Well, except for Common items, which cost 100 gp instead of 50 gp. There...

Well, now that the distinction between divine magic and arcane magic has no mechanical impact, you could just say that since bards are keepers of stories, some of those stories are about religious heroes and such. The gods appreciate the bards for helping to keep their stories alive and thus...

Well, just for the sake of answering your question, this would be covered by the Marial Arts feature specifying, as it does now, that you can only use it with unarmed strikes and monk weapons. But yeah, it's fine, thanks for explaining how the errata works. I just feel like there could've been a...

It seems needlessly complex to create an entirely new class of weapon that only applies to one thing. Couldn't they have just given it the Special quality and briefly explained in a footnote that Unarmed Strike is a natural weapon, not a regular weapon, and is different from them in the...

Wait, what makes natural weapons different from regular weapons or unarmed strikes?

It's pretty mysterious though. There are a lot of theories surrounding its origin, and it's pretty hard to verify any of them.

Yeah, if psionics are flavored as weird power coming from an elder being, that's just the warlock's Great Old One pact all over again. Everything about psychic powers seems to point to it being a power that comes from within. Certain things bring it out of you, but nothing puts it there.

Heehee, this art is so cute!

I dunno, the only similarity I can see between the Abyss and the Far Realm is that both are places humans find unpleasant. The Abyss is just a plane with evil monsters on it. The Far Realm can't even be considered a real place by our standards, and the things residing in it aren't really "evil...

Well, I was doing that more for ease of navigation, so when there's a lot of posts the reader won't have to scroll as much to find a certain section. Will that just be annoying?

25 gp is about how much I typically price cantrip scrolls, and 2d6 to a single target feels cantrip-level to me. Alchemist's fire, on the other hand, is way overpriced. For 50 gp, there shouldn't be such a big possibility that it will deal less damage than a flask of acid would. A scroll of the...

This is merely the monk's revenge for its poor treatment in 3.5. Not merely content to get improved, the monk now must show all the other classes how it felt. They mocked it before. But it will have the last laugh.

Bam.

Yeah, personality is certainly not "solved" or anything. But while I see some of myself in the descriptions of one or two other personality types (usually similar ones), there are definitely a lot that I have very little in common with, and I just find the whole concept really fascinating...

Well, yeah, it shouldn't be so directly tied to something like the Far Realm that you're required to incorperate it. I was just disagreeing with it needing to be removed completely. Because it's cool.

Not as of yesterday! Errata happened.

I started attending a D&D encounters thing, and I've always wanted to try doing a campaign journal (ever since I read these amazing ones from GitP), so when this one turned out to be very... unusual... I decided to record my memories eternally on the world wide web! I hope you find the...

Aww, but the Far Realm is cool! I'd rather they continue making lore for it since it's relatively easy to take out an element of lore if you dislike it, but a lot of work to create lore if they stop providing it.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but I'll bring it up here too. I think I've worked out what makes the source of psionics different from other magic. Exposure to the Far Realm can incite a reaction in some individuals that allows them to use their minds to create supernatural effects as a...

That's cool, you can also flavor it more generally as a power that comes from a mental "Awakening" of some sort. Some new way of thinking about the nature of the world that gives you power over it. It's not really a secret, like the arcane is. It's just some piece of knowledge that is almost...
