Now we just have to figure out how he wields a staff in one hand- I recall a lot of people griping about being able to do that in 5e, as making no sense (and blaming movie Gandalf). Turns out, maybe we should be blaming Gary? lol.

Interesting that his stat block still says "#AT 1", but the intent is clarified at least!

Ooh! That would be a neat twist!

Ah yes, Lareth the Beautiful, a human male and favored of Lolth (?!). What a pain in the butt with -1 AC and 5th level in an "introductory" adventure (not to mention his Phylactery of Action- basically a Ring of Freedom of Movement!). Thing is, at least in my copy of T1, it says he has a Staff...

Probably, yes. And is apparently beholden to someone who he is in debt to, based on that phone call Wednesday overheard.

I believe the episodes can be streamed on Roku, but they can also be found on YouTube.

It's most likely Ophelia. But it could be a red herring- Ophelia is supposed to look identical to Morticia. OTOH, Wednesday is it's own thing, so yeah. Anything goes, I guess, lol.

Which gives me an idea for something I'd like to see- a fake documentary of an Outcast film crew stalking the family to show the secret lives of the Addam's clan. I know, it's been done! But it would still be entertaining.

I mean, with DM permission, any caster can gain a Quasit as a Familiar, right? Ditto with Pseudodragons and other options not part of the spell's normal availability. The guy took a shortcut, but if he's already got a working relationship with the Quasit, the demon's dark masters are probably...

Yeah, the Addam's have an interesting reputation- on the one hand, they're Outcast Royalty. On the other hand, even other Outcasts are like "um, something's not quite right with these people". Like everyone's reaction to what they consider "food" lol.

Yeah I was getting both vibes of the Tesseract dungeon from Dragon Magazine (issue 17? 25? I think it was in Best of Dragon vol. 1) and of course, the Great Machine of the Krell from "Forbidden Planet". I do wonder if that hourglass relic was a trap or actually did something... With all the...

Ok, having binged the first four episodes, wow, what a lot of spinning plates! We have fallout from season one, a sleazy new pyrokinetic principal (played to perfection by Steve Buscemi). Wednesday's sudden popularity, which has spawned a fan club of sycophants, one of whom has a stalker-ish...

Ok, so, we have a species from another dimension (we've seen a few of those in the past, like Species 8472 and those creepy aliens from "Schisms", the solanogen-based lifeforms) that hijack living bodies and seem to have psychic powers. Imprisoned in an pan-dimensional prison by an advanced...

Oh man, that reminds me of something that happened in Pathfinder 1e. They had these items called "weapon cords" you could attach to your weapons so that if you were disarmed, you could pull them back into your hand. Gunslingers were then trying to maximize their use of guns by using weapon...

I always wondered why the dagger and the hand axe were specifically the only weapons one could employ in the off-hand. It seems awfully specific, and why exempt (as examples) the club or jo stick?

Oh probably not, but then again, in his later years, he did become fascinated with anomalous things. I was a big fan of Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World as a kid.

At least with 3.x, the xp you got from encounters was directly based on your level, so that you could in fact "catch up" (this is why item creation wasn't that big of a deal as most thought it was). In AD&D, the differences between levels is very slight, which is why multiclass characters are...

If you want people to play humans, then give humans something people can't ignore. I had the opposite problem in 3.5- nobody would play anything but humans, because the benefits of most other races were so niche compared to the bonus Feat as to be unnecessary. *I saw something similar in my...
