    D&D 5E (2014) Q&A 10/17/13 - Crits, Damage on Miss, Wildshape

    No, you didn't raise dodging, I did. There is nothing anyone can do as long as they are within 5 feet of this guy to avoid taking his STR in damage. You gave me a list of places they could be, but not things they could DO to avoid it. They could be outside his range, on the moon, behind a wall...

    D&D 5E (2014) Q&A 10/17/13 - Crits, Damage on Miss, Wildshape

    Strap yourself in this is going to be a long one. I'll read those later, but that is why I asked as opposed to directly stated that this might be a stormwind fallacy. I'll read them and get back to you. Am I opposed to getting a bonus on the next hit because you missed this time? Yes. I would...

    D&D 5E (2014) Q&A 10/17/13 - Crits, Damage on Miss, Wildshape

    I would imagine there are more than three. Especially since I effectively made a strawman of myself for this argument. I didn't need to but I wanted to just pile on the situations where things should be against the fighter and yet this stupid mechanic still worked; blindfolded included. I've...

    D&D 5E (2014) Q&A 10/17/13 - Crits, Damage on Miss, Wildshape

    No amount of stances or limits is going to make this palatable to me. Let me explain myself from another angle. Remember the STR 16 fighter going after the goblins with 3 HP or the STR 18 fighter killing an entire town worth of humans? Now imagine in-game being a villager, the fighter walks...

    D&D 5E (2014) Q&A 10/17/13 - Crits, Damage on Miss, Wildshape

    It was twice. Unless you were counting the amount of times I said the word itself then it comes to four times.. twice per description. But yes it is an important distinction. I got told over and over how it wasn't healing surges that I had an issue with (though it was) it was the second wind...

    D&D 5E (2014) Q&A 10/17/13 - Crits, Damage on Miss, Wildshape

    I did. But there were a variety of reasons for it, as others have said, as it was an area effect. It wasn't damage on a miss ... on a attack vs. AC. It wasn't every round. And oh yeah, given that it was 3e - it cost you something. You mean evasion. In 3e it was called evasion (later improved...

    [Rules Q] Cleric AoO Against Turned Undead

    Per SRD, as far as I can tell you and your DM are both making valid rulings. So until someone can provide a more definitive answer I think your DM made a right call. For my money, I would say it cancels the effect if it stops them from moving when they fled. It does make perfect sense since...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wandering Monsters: The Little Guys

    Dannyalcatraz wasn't advocating you should put your idiot dragons in the book, nor was he advocating putting any homebrewer's version in the book. He was saying there is no traditional goblin. I disagree to an extent but you seem to be mischaracterizing his comments DEFCON. Further, where did...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wandering Monsters: You Got Science in My Fantasy!

    Okay, first, D&D isn't Chess. Never has been never will be. That horse has been beaten to death, turned into glue, eaten by first graders who have now graduated university. D&D =/= Chess. Second, you can spot people playing D&D by all the books, dice, roleplaying (using voices and stuff to...

    Legends & Lore: Clas Groups

    Because many groups (especially newer groups/players) are going to now fight over the issue that bards should be allowed to use SotM because they have this line, whereas others are going to point to the staff to where it says "mage only" and say they can't. And it is an issue based solely on the...

    Pathfinder 1E Does "Take 20" no longer exist?

    http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/glossary#TOC-Take-20 Wow, so late I'm not even ninja'd. I guess I need to hit refresh before I hit reply.

    Legends & Lore: Clas Groups

    Its too bad you are ignoring me, I don't ignore you even though I think you are trolling us; saying the same thing over and over without concessions. Who say's the staff of a magi is a F15? Who says all "pilots" can fly F15s? What are the requirements to fly an F15? How about someone who knows...

    Define the skills of the first level pilot. How many of those can the carpenter pick up before he becomes a pilot, or more specifically how many can he have and NOT be a pilot officially. JamesonCourage has no problem considering arcane knowledge, access to arcane spells, and "knowledge / lore"...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Monk - What is the monk to you and why?

    The first half at least is right I think. YouOne doesn't play a monk, I don't at least, for the "fights like a fighter" aspect. They might, but one plays them because they have combat ability (warrior) mixed with mystic (aka grab bag of) abilities (priest). So, a monk should be able to fight...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Monk - What is the monk to you and why?

    Okay I want to make a few things clear before I get into the replies. First, I think conceptually the monk is a priest in spirit. It deals with the mysticism of the universe. However it is not a divine caster.. Second, I think it is probably a warrior. A warrior who uses very different...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wandering Monsters: Not-Dragons

    I kind of agree with this. Except I don't even need linnorms. I also agree with that one answer to the question; basically saying that every time you see a dragon that isn't a dragon it makes dragons more mundane and less cool, and waters down when you see a real one. Besides that...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Monk - What is the monk to you and why?

    No. You haven't given me anything to go on except a single word and when I type that into google I find Michael Caine and I don't see how he relates to monks so.. No, really not joking.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Monk - What is the monk to you and why?

    First, regardless what it is inspired by, the Jedi as presented in the original trilogy (which later spurred the whole expanded universe) were warriors first. They were ascetic ones but non the less they were warriors. However, in that they were warriors they did not use warrior tricks. Obi Wan...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Monk - What is the monk to you and why?

    This thread/idea came up months, probably over a year ago, and I think my answer then is probably the same one I'm going to give now - with a few minor considerations due to the recent class group discussions. I like the monk. I really do. It is likely my favourite class in flavour and has many...

    Pathfinder 1E How many GMs use Divine Channeling to revive unconscious opponents?

    1: Do you have them not get hurt by a friendly fireball either? That isn't fun for them, but I'm guessing they don't do it too often or they do in desperate circumstances, just as they would use the channeling (in combat). 2: Combat as war (vs. combat as sport). It's a whole conversation. I'm...
