It is when they dictate to the DM “this is how it should be played because it’s not strictly forbidden by the RAW.” Then get pissy for the rest of the session. There is this idea floating around these boards and others and games that players have an inalienable right equal to or greater then...

They also have ideas about how the DM should play the game for their PCs also, or so it seems...

Mist I have been saying that, but some responses have essentially been “Since it’s not specifically spelled out in the rules and fluff means nothing (if it’s bad for my idea) any DM that does it is being an unfair tyrant that won’t let me play my way!!” I also pointed out that I don’t allow...

In the movie Dune, the Voice gets one Harkonen to attack another. Out of combat uses are covered in Star Wars.

Get the lastest version. And you have extra spells prepared because you need to select your Domain spells, they are always prepared. Look at the bottom of the spell choice for each level of spell selected for the spell choices.

I am having fun with a Str Divine Soul 1/Valor Bard Dragonborn. A product of careful breeding training of a family bloodline from Dragons Island in the Celestial Sea (World of Greyhawk), Sora threw off the bonds of family and people obligations to confront a threat she became aware of in a...

I would have allowed that since uniting Orc tribes is always a significant event by a strong leader with another leader always jockying for position. The creatures in question also have to be relative in power, a minion wouldn't reasonably believe that it would take over from its master.

More on suggestion: I do think “Help us kill your boss” is unreasonable though except in certain circumstances. However taking an enemy out of combat with “You need to make sure that other lair entrance is guarded so you should go there” is reasonable. If you have already cleaned out most of...

Getting ready to run the mindflayer lair now. My thoughts are 1. The PC will be able to short rest once. I figure the lair will be alerted, so the first part with the drow goes, then they will SR, then the mindflayer lair. 2. Don’t forget the Drow have special Drow magic items that the PC...

As far as street urchin background consider they Spartans would deliberately not give enough food to feed all children in training to teach them to be self sufficient and scrounge for their own. The urchin stereotype is certainly mapped to small, quick, stealthy types, but it’s easy to alter it...

Remember also if you take PAM you choose when to take a bonus action. GWM critical hit/kill feature you do not. Having both you might have already used your bonus action for the other one. For me it’s PAM and Sentinel or GWF and Sentinel but rarely PAM and GWM. This way you bonus and reaction...

Tell him to watch Gods of Egypt. Hathor (played by Elodie Yung.) Her entire attack routine is Suggestion spell over and over. They don’t call it that but when you watch it you will see. Here is a sample https://youtu.be/ByHwMetOeW0

Yes. As said in another thread by Obliza: “Roleplaying with 4 players who dip Hexblade can be tiresome. This is also true for the plate wearing fighter who sits in the back with a handcrossbow. There is merit to nerfing hex-blade,CBX,GWM,SS.” Until your build comes together other players are...

Or use things like the giant options in SKT. A Stone Giant just picks you up and throws you away and you take damage, or a Hill Giant just belly flops on you. Someone here once claimed he locked down Tiamat with PAM and Sentinel feat. I said “Really? Tiamat flys over you, you attack and hit...

The horde rules work ok, I just have half the horde use help action to help the other half. To tank you have to make yourself a target. As a player when I play a tank I play a barbarian or play a sentinel build where if they don’t attack me I attack them.

Your example highlights a common problem with group dynamics. As a tank you want to take hits for others with less HP and armor, but if you make your high AC obvious to any intelligent creature they don’t attack you at all, they attack softies. You just end up dying last. It’s a dilemma. You...

Barbarian class to me in the game terms some sort of character who grew up in a tough, wild environment where the strongest survive. Urbanization is a distant concept, formal education is almost non-existent. It’s something you are born into (start at first level) not learned (you can freely...

This is always the answer! ;) I have yet to see any backstory or RP attached to any hexblade/anything build, and the entity that powers your hexblade abilities by some sort of contract always agrees to keep giving you your powers. The rest of your answer is correct also. What happens at...

Yes but your ability scores are as much a part of your PC as your personality traits are, you have to play both. If you have an outgoing, happy go lucky fighter with low INT then that PC would probably spout off ideas on what to do not knowing that they probably bad ideas. You as a player...

Greyhawk for me, with its politics and everything and changing world.
