Transphobia, like all bigotry or attitudes, is not merely something outloud, or indeed just concious. Nor does one incident mean a company is transphobic at a whole. But them hiring and having Fraiser as a writer and contracter doesn't mean there are not transphobic elements in the company; nor...

But... that's not at all what prompted the change. The timeline is this. Crystal Fraiser (an openly out trans woman) and another collegue (a cis woman) of hers wanted to go to a con and share a room. They both wanted this and consented to it. It was not allowed by HR or management (I am unsure...

Those are good points. You're reminding me that each spellcaster in 5e has a differen table indicating how many spells slots they have... which is still a lot mad to me, but it does probalby help the Ranger balance wise. Hope one day I'll get to play with one as a GM.

Second to Ranger is a bold claim; would you put them ahead of Rogues (who can interact well with the other pillars and has a lot of damage, particularly when ranged) and Paladin (much less impact exploration wise, mind, but good socially and fantastic in combat) for martials, and all full...

The shove is still probably better because: a) RAI, Press the Attack seems that it's going to require an attack roll at-least. b) Falling Back consumes your reaction c) A5E allows you to delibertly chose to fail a Saving Throw (which I'm fairly sure is not RAW or RAI in o5e; it requires...

If the USA is culturally similiar when it comes to that practice, that would point to the somewhat damning conclusion that the policy put into place after Crystral's reporting of the incident was somewhat transphobic in the least; rather than recognising that consenting adults, regardless of...

The threads on the Paizo forums reveal some following details; the union wasn't informed of this statement beforehand Tanya, who took over Sara, lobbed for a position above her, got that position, and then a few weeks later Sara was fired, then Diego quit I suspect a fight upcoming between...

Note that he said 'anyone that felt marginalized' - not acknowleding that Paizo did marginalise trans people because of this policy, and not acknowleding in particular certain staff members suffered because of it. Feels like a step forward, two steps back. Specific staff appear to have spoken...

Now this is pretty sick, especially in duels. Do you risk the extra chance to hit to potential gurantee a finishing hit and other effects - knowing that if you don't get the kill, you're probably in for a world of hurt?

Sorry, what action are you referring to when you mean Rangers' Flurry? And what Feat you are getting from it I'm going to guess whatever action it is, however, that it probably has Flourish on it - which Monk's Flurry of Blows also has, so you can't use them in the same round. But, the build...

I merely mentioned the 'optimisation' part because I was pretty sure, considering the already early posts in the thread, that certain people would but in and cry fowl if it wasn't mentioend. Nevermind that I listed 5 other reasons. Clearly, I shouldn't have. The premise of the thread is to...

Fantasy Grounds, if I understand correctly, has an inbuilt Cloud service that they directly report. I'm not sure if they use any telemitry with their LAN versions, but this makes it much easier for them to report stats. Foundry, in contrast, is significantly more decentralised. While there are...

Hm, I see. I don't think Great Man Theory will make a comeback though (and I really hope it doesn't, not only for simplifying the complications of history, but how others may use it to massively simplify current events - I think we can all agree with everything happening in the world right now...

The amount of time I've seen "special and unique" used as an euphanism to criticise or demean LGBTQIA+ people or neurodivergent people (or indeed, people who are ""different"" from the supposed ""norm"") is pretty high. So I am a little sensitive to it, and while I could have phrased it better...

Oh boy, the well trotted shite about people wanting to be "special and unique". It's almost as if we're, as I think, you know, the fact that everyone discussing this has come with different points or lead to different arguments, or had different thoughts, kinda proves that, maybe, we all are a...

A variety of reasons: 1) Yes, there is the factor of being able to have a +3 in a starting stat so I can actually maybe think of getting an interesting feat later on without restricting myself to certain ancestory and class combinations etc. etc. 2. 5e has no other potential rules to apply...

Considering everything, I don't think they'll want to be like Blizzard at all, to be fair... :V

Off topic, but god, 5e really did simplify the game, didn't it? Touch spells used to use Strength??

What about a Minotaur with large, insect like wings? You know, a Bull(et) with Butterly Wings?

All flying speed party is something I suggested before. Could be fascinating with the right world. How does the combat change? How useful are melee fighterse in that world? What about those who can't fly - surely they'll find ways to fight back besides magic and ranged weapons...
