I believe it went something like this... "You need a vorpal sword to get into that packaging." (Talking about a cell phone case) "It's like a globe of invulnerability for your phone." (Talking about noise-cancelling headphones) "Otiluke's freezing sphere could go off and you wouldn't hear...

I have only one reaction per shift, so the amount of customers getting by me is higher than I'd like. I can often get in two or three in a longer sale, though. It depends when things stray into territory when I can slip things through. Like when we're talking about taking a trip (and which...

Any ability that gives you an edge on death saving throws doesn't seem overpowered in any way. If you have to be down and bleeding out to use your advantage, that's a poor battle strategy. You can still fail death saving throws by being damaged and taking the auto-fail, after all. I have had a...

Apparently there's a White Wolf RPG called "Slashers" which handles this. My friend told me about it, and I'm keeping an eye out for it, being the huge fan of horror movies that I am. :)

Working in retail during Christmas can be tough. Sometimes you have to find ways to keep your focus, even during a holiday rush. So one day, I decided to try and slip as many D&D terms into my customer interactions as I could. Here's what I managed: transmuter spider climb bag of holding...

Javier grunts in pain as the blade slices past his shield and hits a chink in his scale mail, drawing a gush of blood from his side. He brings his shield in front of him, and tries to keep the creatures at bay while his companions take them down. His teeth are gritted on that bit of leather in...

Javier grits his teeth, keeps his shield up, and prepares to stab with his short sword. (Javier readies to attack the first goblin to approach. If they have ranged weapons, he will instead step in and attack. Either way, this is the attack roll. If the goblins come to him, I believe he has...

The big man shifted his stance to bring his shield to bear, and he prepared to hold the doorway. It didn't look like the creatures would be cowed by his shout. [roll0]

The tall man squinted at Nissa, still working a bit of leather between his teeth. Her words made sense, at least right up until she wrapped things up with '...figure out our next course...'. He'd heard a lot of dithering back and forth already on the part of the group's leadership, and while...

This. Exactly this. Why complicate things? Give the archers a surprise volley, make sure the PCs have the chance to spot them if they're looking around (either passive or active perception, depending how they're doing it), then roll initiative!

Javier watched the group suspiciously, still chewing his bit of leather. He didn't like these people, but that was nothing new. Javier was the sort who didn't like most people. Still, if the fool Zanward wanted to pay them, that was his business. Just so long as it didn't come out of...

Doctor Sanduine pursed her lips, tapping them with a pen. "Classically, Malbolge is the eight level of hell. And Moloch is a word that pops up throughout history, in different places. It can be a god, it can mean offspring... It's even a fallen angel in Paradise Lost."

Created by the gods? Maybe there has always been an azer. The very first one came into being with the creation of all things.

Chew, chew, chew. Javier peers through the door, squinting to see if he recognized any of the men inside. [roll0]

Neurotic, that is one fine bluff there. Love it.

Amen to that. The development of 5th edition was unlike any other I've ever seen. The sprawling public playtest, the alpha playtest, the whole sense of positivity in the community, culminating in such a well-received launch... And one that seems to have brought players back to the game, and...

Take a look at alter self, too. That spell isn't just about disguising yourself anymore! You can grow magic claws, you can grow gills, make your skin harder, etc. On the note of useful spells, Heroes' Feast has proven to be an immensely useful buff spell. 24 hour duration, immunity to poison...

I believe the rule is that a surprised person doesn't act in the first round of combat. So they wouldn't count as having acted. Even if that's not the letter of the law, I'm sure that's the RAI.

"A name?" Doctor Sanduine echoed. "Oh, yes, that's probably a good idea. Lilith seems like a good name, very classical." The blonde woman reached for her holo-recorder, then began to pat her pockets. She looked perplexed for a moment, before realization crossed her face. "I... gave my...

Chew, chew. Javier seemed content to leave the far door, still chewing that same bit of leather between his teeth. Gripping his shield, he walked over towards the others, who seemed to be mustering up some sort of plan. He squinted at Ethian's conjuration, then watched as Captain Blackpearl...
