Again just wanted to stress. gladiators are actually not high damage for their CR, in fact they are bottom of the normal damage range for a CR5.

is it a brazen choice to put the finale on new year's eve...or is it a commentary that no one party's on NYE anymore?

1) Get strength or like a monk that can use dex for grapple 2) Take athletics proficiency through class, background, feat, whatever. and done. now sure you can go for expertise to really lock in but you really don't have to. Even that gives you a very solid grapple against a lot of opponents.

I also think Weapon Mastery tried to fill a niche that honestly was already well handled by the Grapple rules. 2014 grappling is awesome. you can do all sorts of control with it. 1) Knock a person back. 2) Hold them in place 3) Move them to where you want them. 4) REALLY hold them in place...

first meghan did 106 million with a budget of 12 million. second meghan so far is 37 million on a budget of 25 million....so significantly worse. When you throw in the classic "double the budget because of advertising" rule of thumb, it might have even lost money.

In some ways its very Terminator 2 esque. Terminator was more an action horror kind of movie with a bit more lean on the horror. Terminator 2 is much more on the action. I felt that way about Meghan 2. I actually enjoyed it as well, and I really liked Meghan's line when confronted about what...

Even a 1000 kg black hole would take 2.50375 ×10^45 years to evaporate, and considering everything that hole was sucking up that seems an easy estimate. But I recognize we are getting WAY off topic here. The start of this conversation was that the movie had a tonal disconnect when Superman...

Fair enough. You live for 1 breath...and the universe ends (or goes into heat death). So life is no longer supportable, and then you either starve to death, suffocate (most likely) or freeze slowly. whether its a billion or a googleplex of years later its still going to happen. At the end of...

Ok so a fighter is getting about 8 attacks a fighter roughly (3 rounds, 4 attacks on the first with action surge, 2 on rounds 2 and 3). So 4 extra saving throws in every fight....which is still a lot. I would also argue you said that prone characters you don't apply the effect....except in...

I think this is the crux of the matter, and it appears that my players (in two different groups no less) really look at "number of attacks" as a major signifier of a fighter's skill (and therefore power). So when they see a fighter get 3 attacks in a round, that signals to them that this guy is...

I am sure that the blackholes in the comics will likely not work the same as in real physics, but based on our understandings of time dilation time would pass for the man inside the blackhole normally. To him, he would starve at a normal rate and then die. Its just that to us it takes billions...

So funny enough, I just ran another couple of gladiators in a different game (this game was 13th level, so they were just meant to be a bit of buffer). And as soon as I did my attack, the party went "whoa that guy gets 3 attacks!!!!????" hehe I guess when its so hard to get a 3rd attack as a...

funny enough it actually doesn't. Its damage is 33....right on the bottom edge of CR 5 damage. I was surprised myself, when I saw it in a fight I thought it looked pretty rock solid...but its stats are actually on the low end of a CR 5....and that's for the 2014 in 2024 its likely even lower.

I think that comes back to the world building issue from some people. If you accept this is a 15th level "fighter lite"...ok that explains the stats. But it doesn't explain why my 7th level party just faced two 15th level characters. I mean....isn't 15th level extremely extremely rare?

yeah I see that one as more of "we don't need Hank Pym anymore" than because Michael Douglas is leaving. That said....its the same reason I can't stand remixes in my songs. Once I got the song in my head, THATs the correct version, everything else sounds wrong. People see a character on screen...

yep so he doesn't die right away....he just starves to death. so much better:)

Gunn is on record in an interview that Smallville was one of his favorite superman renditions, and he took the LuthorCorp name from that show.

I do respect the issue on this one, and while I agree that Superman never felt weak to me, and a lot of his fights was more about saving people than winning (because winning was a given)....but that said I do agree we never got the raw epicness of Superman Returns or Man of Steel. We could have...

I like a number of them. Graze that gives a little bonus damage....great. Nick that adds some oomph to TWF...fine. The tripping one that you have to make a save for after each and every attack....no thank you!
