I agree they are different in terms of ability, but I would argue they are not in terms of scale. Clint is as “superhuman” as bullseye is, just in a different way

To start I think we have to look at this question at high levels (as the OP kicks this off with a high level dragon conversation). I do think high level monster design is still flawed even in 2024. The game ramped up the math but it still doesn't respect how fundamentally different high level...

Clint is not "ridiculously accurate" he is "superhuman accurate". He simply does not miss....ever. He can literally turn his head and fire an arrow at a fast moving target (that he is not looking directly at) and hit them dead center. That is not a feat that humans can replicate today, even the...

on the bullseye thing all I’ll say is, if this is a world that thinks Hawkeyes accuracy is “mundane” and not a superpower, than bullseyes skill can certainly be considered mundane

I would agree with you the majority of the time. That said, there are some fun tricks you can do to bring that immunity back in. Anti-magic fields, have something that disarms the PC of their weapon. You could have some thing where the PC has to insert their sword like a key in a lock, but then...

Pretty sure with Karen back that its out with Heather in with Karen

If your at the point where interstellar travel is happening nano tech is likely well within reach. You wouldn’t have bulky robots difficult to repair, but robots composed of nano “cells” that can adopt any form and can be repair or recycled continuously.

One thing to do with "minion" type monsters is rather than attack with them, use them for the help action on your big centerpiece monster. When that monster now has advantage on a lot of attacks, its scarier than just some regular old minion hit. Lots of good advice already. Another way to...

What do you mean beyond the +1? So magic weapons do bypass BPS resistance?

So an interesting segway on this thread are shows with horrible endings. Not meh endings, not "eh not my favorite", but "this show is now ash in my mouth" kind of endings. Its an interesting question of if you had a great 1st season and the next several seasons were solid, but then the ending...

The first season isn't great, its really not. But I will fully say the last two seasons were a MAJOR improvement. Kind of like 1st season of Next Gen and future seasons.

Even easy combats I will play at least the opening rounds. I do think its important for the PCs to get to curb stomp some monsters every so often so they feel powerful.... I find long term my party often remembers those encounters more than many others. But that said, they will quickly shift to...

I know this is an old post but just coming back to this thread and saw it. I have to say, I recognize Apple catalog is lacking in quantity, but it has quality in spades. Apple has the best stuff there imo, the vast majority of shows I have watched on it have been straight gold. I don't like...

So I know a lot of the monsters in the new MM just have resistance to BPS, no mention of magic. And we have seen a lot of "your attack is like a magic weapon" changed to "you now do force damage". Is that how straight up +1 magic weapons work now, or do they no longer help against that BPS...

So a deeper (but still simplistic) answer is this: If you have Alice and Bob who are light years apart, and then both share an entangled particle. If Alice just does a measurement on the particle and its in state "1", she knows that Bob's particle is also right now in state 1. Neat....but not...

If we are this level of sci-fi, you could likely invoke genetic engineering to help the skills you need and accentuate the species diversity. or just rely on AI for the technical expertise.

Further enhanced by the note that while the DM determines the condition for hiding, once hiding is done there are only a specific conditions that actually remove hiding. None of them is the loss of total cover/concealment. The theoretical one is that an enemy "finds you", but how do they find...

yep I'll take the L on this one, I had the right direction of the dilation but messed up the frame of reference. As you say the 124 years is what earth would experience, and the time dilation would adjust to a much shorter time for the ship. so I was wrong before.

My main question with Lanfaey was....what was her plan with the "fake Coracan?" I mean....the plan never had a chance of working. The second Rand flexes that dragon magic everyone is going to know he's the one. My thoughts are either: 1) Lanfaey wants to make Rand channel as much as possible...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation That is exactly how it works. If I take off in a super fast spaceship, my clock slows down compared to a clock on earth. But looked at it from the ships point of view, Earth's clock speeds up. So 1 year on the spaceship could be 100 years on earth.
