I'd also like to re-iterate that nothing about the warlock says that you have to sell your soul regardless of the pact source you choose. It could simply be access to a power source for a favor that you've already completed. Remember the starting warlock makes his pact at or prior to lvl 1...

As we've been discussing in the good warlock thread, nothing about the warlock says that you have to sell your soul. It could simply be access to a power source for a favor that you've already completed. Now you make a (new?) bargain with a different patron for access to a different source for...

I'm firmly in the camp that warlocks can be any alignment and can have any source of power that they want. Someone wants to make a pact with an angel of retribution and use the fiendish package more power to them. There is nothing against it in either the rules or the fluff. Some folks just...

This assumes that dragons eat like normal creatures. It's quite possible that dragons only eat meat because they enjoy it. What if grandpas cow was nothing more than a bon-bon to the dragons? Instead they could draw their energies from the elements. That's why the reds prefer hot areas, the...

Even Native Americans would spread out. You cover more area that way. Especially when hunting or patrolling. Two to four columns 15 feet apart with rows that are 10-20 feet apart isn't unbelievable for the more primitive races. edit... stupid third world internets

One of the possible problems could be that not all cases diversify at third level. Some are at 2nd or even 1st. What if you have a homebrew diety of sun and war? Could you make a L1 light cleric/L1 war cleric? What about a L4 wizard? Could he be a diviner/enchanter/evoker/necromancer? Can...

As a former wargamer I find it all to easy to optimize my NPCs combat tactics. Fortunately I've recognized this and make a conscious effort to ensure that I tailor the tactics to the NPC. Animals will not use any tactics that you wouldn't expect an animal to use, goblins might use some...

As apposed to any appreciation month where you are suggested to buy stuff for the person being appreciated? They're only suggesting that you get their stuff for the DM since it's their stuff. You are free to buy anything for your DM to appreciate them. Saying that it's tacky is like saying...

Food would probably be scarce as the dragons ravaged the wilderness and farmlands. Who would be willing to work a field when there are dragons running around looking for a meal. Dwarven citadel's could either be a bastion or a deathtrap since they're fortified but they also make great lairs...

The (arguably broken) combo is between the three. Warcaster lets you replace your AoO with a spell. Polearm mastery triggers your AoO when the opponent is 10' away. Repelling blast let's you push the target back on a hit by 10' per blast that hits. So, creature approaches, Polearm Mastery...

I'm away from my books, but off the top of my head, aurora's whole realms catalogue, the original greybox for the forgotten realms, and spelljammer.

Another thing to consider is that while the baked in flavor may be a pact, there's nothing mechanically that is tied to the concept of the pact. A Warlock could easily be flavored as using stolen knowledge. Perhaps he found an ancient tome or carvings in in some ancient cave that unlocked the...

port easy yes, but I don't know if it's really necessary. It worked well for a system to represent a high level mook. With 5E and bounded accuracy you can use a 2HD orc against a lvl 10 party and the orc can still pose a minion level of threat.

As a DM I would be completely ok with allowing the animal to attack on it's own. But it would be under the DMs control. The player could spend their actions to control it, but in order to act on it's own it would be under the DMs control.

I wasn't sure if anyone would get the reference, but yes it is a great comic. I have the next one on pre-order. It could be a trade with a lesser evil to help it rise to power, only it got squished and you're off the hook. Or perhaps that GOO/Fey just wants to tag along in your head to see...

Of course they can. And where does it say that you've sold your soul? I remember a comic where a powerful witch had made a deal for beauty and the demon botched the contract giving her a bunch of magical powers. What if your pact was a small trade and there was a mistake in your favor? Your...

I've never looked into it myself but I remember being told by someone that the main reason that they use aluminum arrows with compound bows is because the launching force would shatter a wooden arrow. It may have been complete BS, but it's believable BS.

You guys end up going back and forth like this a lot because you both talk in absolutes. The game is many things to many people. Saying it is or isn't any one specific thing or another is futile, silly, and could even be considered baiting in some communities. I grow and RP character all day...

In DnD's abstracted combat system it most certainly will. The attack roll is as much making contact with the target as it is overcoming the target's defenses. Higher Str can mean a longer pull on the bow which means the arrow is traveling faster and more likely to penetrate and less likely to...

AD&D 2e had an underground species of goat/sheep. I believe they were called Roth or something like that. But mostly I see dwarves as living near the surface. "Deep underground" is a subjective thing. Most people associate underground with caves and such with easy access to the surface...
