There are no canonical names, unless I forgot them.

Eh, does the school of a cantrip even actually matter? I know they want a cantrip of each school, so "make me enchanting" works for me.

I would retool Friends so it enhances you with an instinct of how to be persuasive, rather than messing with the mind of the target you're persuading. Now there's no reason for the person you're persuading to be upset. It's more like you're taking a self-help course, rather than, I dunno...

Most satisfying Fighter art of my D&D life:

Hi, I wrote the campaign. I'll try to answer without providing any real spoilers. The word trillith has an in-universe origin (meaning something like 'related to Trilla,' with Trilla being a name), but like so many things in RPGs, the real-world origin is weird. In 2001 or so, EN World...

It does nothing. I don't even think it counts against his listed number of feats.

I should have been keeping records of how each group handled the four fey titans. Surprisingly few fought them, from what I recall.

Neat. How transparent were the clock mechanics to the PCs? I recall when writing and editing adventures 10 and 11, I wanted to keep the pressure up somehow, but I kinda didn't have any robust way to guarantee that, since player options vary so much at epic level. Luckily I think most GMs who...

EN Publishing's own ZEITGEIST has them. Tieflings arose when the hierarchs of a major religion killed an enemy god during a holy war, and the backlash transformed them. There are no actual ties to evil planes, and they actually run a major country where the whole "horns and fire" thing is...

But like, why move? If you move, you can't make your own full attack, and it's not like positional advantage was a thing. There was no point to move.

I assumed Sylvie was just exactly the same as normal Loki, but at one point was playing with some Valkyrie toys and thought, "Hm, they're neat. I'm going to be a girl and be a hero like them," and that was enough for the TVA to try to off her.

It was fun except that my GM had the jankiest of rulings for the final encounter. He said that the evil baddies could Unhallow their base, and put into effect a Silence spell that only affected non-believers, so our whole party couldn't cast spells, but the enemies could. Nonsense, but okay...

I'd go: STR - gear you can carry and use effectively, plus climb/jump/swim, and probably shove/grab; also saves to resist movement DEX - skills are good enough (Acrobatics, Stealth, Thievery); also saves to resist area damage CON - HP; also saves to resist poison INT - skills, languages; no...

Odd. I felt like the end of season 1 was phenomenal. This whole time, Loki has been looking to understand his place in the universe, to regain some sense of agency, but when he finally gets the chance, he realizes that what matters to him more is staying with Sylvie. He, like, finally cares...

The stats should be: Awareness Brawn Cunning Daring Education Fanciness Grit Health Initiative Justice Killing We are making a Cowboy game, right? --- Or more seriously, if I were in charge of D&D, I'd keep the 6 scores, since the 6 scores are sacred cows -- but they're kinda dumb sacred...

I love a good minstrel pun. And maybe not during the adventure path series, but by the Adventures in ZEITGEIST book in 2021, yes, it's canon to think of the monarch of Risur as the titan of civilization. I don't recall who had that idea, but I'm pretty sure it was one of the various groups...

I have a player who wants to be a suave hero, seen as honorable and brave, but who is actually really deft at poisons -- both on blades and in goblets. What are some good ways to let him lean into this fantasy? Yes, there's basic poison that just gives people disadvantage if they fail saves...

That's a long gap between sessions. I'm actually running WotBS for my group now, including one player whose character in the original campaign that inspired the series (back in 2003) was Guthwulf. Now he's playing Guthwulf's brother, who's also the same sort of affable evil, but opposed to...

I have been playing BG3 for the past month, and I very much enjoy the way they do magic items. You find a ton, they mostly all just give you some once per short rest ability, and you end up selling a whole bunch because you can't use them all. But they're fun little toys that give you new...
