I also made a chart like the Hero page posted. It only has about a dozen languages on it in about five families. My comprehend languages spell is a bit different: Comprehend Languages Level: 1 Duration: 1 hour Range: Self The caster can understand any written language in a book, scroll...

I always considered the Mark of Death to be in some ways the Mark of Hospice. You sense when death is near, the body, mind or both failing, and you can ease the patient's passing. Not hasten, but ease. Suffering is mitigated or removed. After that, then you can speak with dead, animate dead...

Regular? No. Special? Yes. I'm a bit more particular about the regular ammo when there isn't a reasonable resupply option.

My condolences. The last character my friend made in my campaign was for a group of third and fourth sons and daughters. Petty nobles who had a fair bit of cash and a couple of favors, but needed to find their own fortune. His character was a magician by the family name Gaunt, and he had an...

Also, let me add that this is the coolest toy ever! It's not often you get to hear a greybeard giggle like a schoolgirl.

It's opening weekend, and... The platform cracked! New plywood and repaint. The actor dance move split the seam! Restitch with a gusset. The hanging prop is casting a shadow! Climb the ladder and move it. The fan for the cobweb caster is in! Build it and dress the stage front. Everyone is...

I appreciate the concept of attributes being "talent" and level or proficiency bonus being "skill". Eventually, as you gain levels, skill will eclipse talent. However, 5e has an assumption that bonuses from attributes will keep pace with the proficency bonus. If you limit the attribute bonus to...

I've hosted a number of exchange students. The significant majority have been Italian. One of my last exchange students knew Italian (National), Neopolitan (Regional), some Sicillian (Regional), and could recognize and speak a few words of Bari (Local). If he needed to travel to Pisa or Venice...

Obviously a grand and puissant working of magic for an even greater end! Yes.* It goes back about its business, and astrologers the world over are very confused. That said, there are certainly complications that could arise. Such a monumental change in the heavens would have echoes through...

Does the grits video still exist? It's a bold claim to say he some made a couple people wrestle in grits for a promotion without some proof of that. I'm having a discussion with a third party.

My fixes are thematic, I guess you would say. I state my intent when the spell becomes available and the why of its invention. Rope Trick; Hide in a closet long enough to catch your breath, cast a couple spells, or drink a potion. Facilitates a short rest by spending a second level spell. Note-...

Silt or dust doesn't work like that, but... Mars does have periodic planet-wide dust storms that block the sun for extended periods of time. I could certainly see something similar happening in Athas. If, somehow, the silt and dust could flow I could see currents. Tides would be "interesting"...

For me a short rest doesn't take a specific amount of time so much as have specific requirements. The characters require 5-10 minutes of minimal physical activity. No environmental damage. A "safe" environment where they are not actively evading or hiding pursuers. No active concentration...

Have things to buy. So, expansive equipment lists, home and manor furnishings for the discerning adventurer, items for status, clothing choices that not only protect in various kinds of inclement weather but also killer fashion for the Baronial Ball, pets- both utilitarian and exotic. People...

One example I've seen is the radio room scene from Where Eagle's Dare. The spy climbs a wooden stair to a new floor, sets a case down, walks down a hallway pst a T-intersection, and ito a radio room to stab the radio operator. Potential stealth needs are arrival on the landing, passing by the...

Physics with added magic. If I can have a method that follows physics, even with a little magical "help", that's preferred. Neat idea! Thanks. Cool ideas! Thanks. Good question! Yes, fungi make up a significant part of the diet. There are also farms where starlight is collected. There are...

Right, but... That's what I was thinking. There can be significant radiation coming from the accretion disk. That might act with the magnetic field of the planet or the moons themselves. At a survivable distance, of course. If the radiation from the black hole's disk will be too diffuse at an...

Light comes from the sun and is reflected by the moon. Thus we can see both as they follow their courses. How could we have visible, even bright, moons without a sun? Magic is allowed, but only as a facilitator and not foundationally. We can't just magic the moon to be bright. The sun is a...

True, however, they are your enemies today, and perhaps allies tomorrow. Such is how I see the chaotic nature of that plane. "Eskar, you dog! How come you back here?" Crap... "Bevlin... I need to cross this pass to reach the the town of Hammerslay. Don't think to stand in my way, for I have in...
