"Smile Time" remains my favorite episode of Angel. With this cast? It could be a lot of fun. I really enjoyed "Subspace Rhapsody" and "Those Old Scientists", so the occasional silly episode is fine by me!

If it's true, how can it be a heresy?

Q (DeLancie) claims that he can have a child with just about anything, or, to quote him directly from "The Q and the Grey": "...could have chosen a Klingon targ, the Romulan empress, a Cyrillian microbe."

I have had players discuss going on certain adventures to get specific loot, and DM's who were willing to run those adventures, but I never had someone check their phone before sitting down at a game! That having been said, what I did have was any time a rules question came up, I'd say what my...

I mean, the difference between an Arch-Devil and a God is really poorly defined anyways, as Arch-Devil's can grant Cleric spells to their followers if they want to.

Death can be permanent in certain situations- Tomb of Annihilation, as I recall was one. During Curse of Strahd, a Ranger was disintegrated which turned into a whole thing as the player (a young girl) burst into tears at the loss of her character when it was explained that a mere raise dead...

Lathander, I say!

Though I will come out and say that stacking resistance probably isn't broken- with a caveat. There's enough different damage types a player can be subject to that even if you had triple resistance to say, fire, it shouldn't become an issue all that often unless the game is somehow fire themed...

I'm not sure how the thread got on this tangent, but about AL, I will say, during my stint as a DM for AL, despite the fact that it's very clearly stated that: I received unbelievable pushback for daring to make adventures "harder" for the players. It was surreal, something I'd never...

I should have expected zombies, but I was not expecting zombies.

It's simple. He's a q not a Q.

Had a couple of instances like this crop up recently- we just started playing Tales of the Valiant, so there's a few new things. One was the Bard's ability to allow players to spend a healing surge with a bonus equal to their Cha. They were telling people that they could add their Con to this...

Not being able to choose which special trick you're going to use each turn (without weapon swapping) and being forced to use the same one over and over and over again is probably my biggest problem with the system. I want warriors to be doing more than "I swing", but weapon masteries aren't...

And from that, I assume you're fine with Str to hit for thrown weapons as well (harder to dodge?). Fair enough then, though I know a lot of people who think that it should be Dexterity to hit with everything. And of course, lots of people object to things like Wisdom to hit with bows because...

I can't recall the name of it, but when AL finally decided to have a higher level adventure for the first time, it apparently involved things that could destroy hard-earned magic items. The few players who went on it were decidedly annoyed. And of course, let's not forget the Tomb of...

So if a character doesn't wear armor, like say, a Monk, do you feel using Strength to hit them makes sense?

But it all starts with, as you say "if my PC knew about it". Often, you don't have that information to begin with. And even if you do have a hint, like, the guy leaves a trail of decapitated foes in his wake, do you have the time? And what would your character assume? Vorpal sword or guy who...

It comes down to "gotcha moments". Nobody really likes these. There's no fundamental difference between "oh the woman is a medusa/succcubus/vampire/doppleganger/polymorphed hag" and "oh didn't I mention? The BBEG has a Vorpal Sword" or "Yeah, of course that statue is a construct/that treasure...

I think part of the problem is that media has trained us to think of super geniuses as either absent minded autists or smarmy jackasses. The idea that a normal seeming guy could have an IQ of 170 becomes difficult to find believable. As for the anger part, I remember for a long time in the...
