Nor did I, I simply pointed out that's why we didn't have damage on a miss in 2014. But again, Acid Arrow also ignores all those factors, dealing half damage on a miss, yet this is perfectly acceptable, yet give the ability to a trained warrior and people have objections. It really comes down...

Honestly, if I told my players that "the BBEG in the next adventure has a weapon that kills you at 0 hit points)" I wonder if they'd even go on said adventure! I actually had something similar in my last 5e game. They were fighting cultists (what can I say, it's been a theme with some...

I really liked Norton's Banner. But it has been said he's notorious to work with, despite being able to turn out some stellar performances (when he's not phoning it in because he hates the role, compare and contrast, say, Kingdom of Heaven vs. The Italian Job).

This is a consequence of the game over the decades changing how it describes combat. In a six-second combat round, you are actually doing a lot more than moving (maybe) and making a single attack. What's being glossed over is the maneuvering, parrying, feinting, and trying to find a good...

The Fighter: Weapon Master (the ToV Battle Master). Sword + Board. High AC, good hit points. Has an ability similar to protection fighting style (bonus action, select an enemy within 5', the first attack that enemy makes each turn against you or an ally within 5' of you has disadvantage so...

You're not wrong, and I've occasionally done this in the past, but in the moment, I don't always realize that this is when I should fudge a result. I also roll openly, so it's pretty obvious to my players if I were to fudge. Anyways, it's a learning moment. Slightly new system (ToV), slightly...

He won initiative and so was the first to act in the encounter, before the enemies. He had no way of knowing how dangerous the weretiger was (as there were other opponents). If he waits for his allies, then he's ceding the advantage initiative gives him, and in fact, if he hadn't rushed the...

I believe what he's talking about is the ability to increase ability scores to high values was much more of a thing in 3e. Just about any mid-level PC can afford a +4 Con item, and having a stat above 20 was perfectly cromulent. Also, Barbarians technically boosted their Con even more (though...

Just yesterday, I was running Tales of the Valiant (so pretty close to 5e). Unlike 2024e, they didn't improve healing. They gave the classes more bennies and things to do, but there wasn't a significant boost to sustainability, while the monsters, if anything, got fiercer. They were fighting...

I had that problem today. They were fighting a noble who they had learned was a blue dragon sorcerer (intended to warn them about his damage type of choice). He had the ability to use all his spells with lightning, and the sorcerer in my group, who has to use a sorcery point to do the same (I...

(Warning, details require knowledge of VtM): I think it had more to do with the fact that I personally resolved several storylines far quicker than desired. I was playing a Tremere for about a year, slowly amassing a library of rituals. It got to the point that no one really knew what I could...

In a long-running campaign, I retired a character who had become a demigod, simply because I thought adventuring as a god was a bit silly. I had another character become an immortal (basically the same thing with different rules) who I did retire, but later went back to only because they had a...

Something a lot of people seem to forget when discussing when a character dies is that D&D was designed without a critical hit system. Damage variance was generally small, usually a roll of a die without bonuses. If a monster did 1-6 damage, you knew, from your own hit point totals, what risks...

Yeah, I mean, in the first film, Tron is kind of a big deal- a powerful security program that functions independently without oversight from the main CPU, monitoring all access points to and from the system with authority to shut down any unsanctioned activity. He's certainly able to overpower...

Until the day comes when all actors are replaced with programs.

There's something about the way Ted Cassidy (as Ruk) says "the old ones" in that TOS episode that is the most memorable part of his performance.

I keep asking myself why the series is still called Tron. Tron's role in Legacy was a terrible way to treat the character, and I don't even see how he could return if the studio wanted him back (I mean, there's probably copies like the Kingdom Hearts Tron, maybe Alan has a Tron 12.0 he's been...

I love this show so much. Anson Mount is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. There's a lot of fanservice for fanservice's sake, but it's less jarring than the Kelvin timeline films for me. The timeline is screwy as heck, but at least they've set up reasons why. Encountering Trelane...

I was referring to whoever Jeff Bridges is playing in this movie. Obviously a program, and Flynn died in the last movie, so... EDIT: of course, who knows if this movie will even pretend Tron: Legacy exists, lol.

Wait, so Flynn made another CLU? Let's hope this one isn't crazy.
