    D&D General When Things Go Awry, Who's At Fault?

    I voted for a lot of the answers. Sometimes it is the DM, they are only human and sometimes make mistakes. It is always the players. Players are idiots. Sometimes it is THAT Player because everybody knows THAT Player. Sometimes the dice are out to get you. It is always Bad Judgement...

    D&D General What's Bardier than a Bard?

    But the D&D Bard is musical. They get Musical instrument Tool proficiencies, they use them as their focus, the description of their spellcasting says they shape magic with their wishes and music. Music in an a core part of the class mechanics and flavour.

    D&D General What's Bardier than a Bard?

    Thanks for the info, that is really interesting. I haven't played Witcher 3 yet, so haven't seen the term before. I alway like learning new things like this. Googling it, I am not sure troubadour is still considered a gendered term, it is definitely etymologically a gendered term, but not sure...

    D&D General What's Bardier than a Bard?

    I have no issue with Bard but if I want a ting an alternative I think the only terms I can think of that are general enough to fit the class as is are Minstrel and Troubadour. Other names carry too much flavour in a particular direction that I don't think they fit. Gleeman would be okay if it...

    D&D General Playable races: few or plenty, common or variable, native or outsiders?

    1) Plenty... As a player I like a wide Varient of choices. I am a bit bored with most of the PHB options, although it depends on my character concept - recently I have played a human and are currently playing a Half-Elf. But having played most of core races a lot over the course of the past 5...

    D&D 5E (2014) Artificer Questions & Thoughts (D&D 5E)

    From what I have seen, they are not bad but by no means on the upper end of the power curve. I would say they are in the lower half of the power scale of classes. The game I am currently in, the Artificer started once we were already around level 10. They have been the weekest character in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Using Suggestion To Thwart Zone of Truth

    Suggestion can't circumvent Zone of Truth. Suggestion can't change what someone thinks or believes. It can make someone follow a course of action, if that cource of action is worded in a reasonable way. It can't make them believe something happened that didn't, or change their memory. It might...

    D&D General Source Material: "The Knight of the Swords" by Michael Moorcock

    From that I have read, it isn't Moorcocks work that Gygax got his Alignment ideas from but in fact Poul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions novel. It is also the novel that D&D Trolls are taken from.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - Deities (Part 1: Forgotten Realms) Selune Advances!

    Understandable. I only noticed because I was the one that posted after Henadic Theologian's first post and I was about to make the same mistake you did but double checked the numbers and figured out what they had done. I was about to change the numbers but realised I just needed to delete the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - Deities (Part 1: Forgotten Realms) Selune Advances!

    Before someone tried to kill off Torm, please be aware that it should be 4 higher than it is now. I am leaving this to be confirmed and corrected by CleverNickName to make the changes to make sure it is right.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - Deities (Part 1: Forgotten Realms) Selune Advances!

    That is not true. Both times they were counted. Look at the totals before their vote and after. The reason for your confusion is that they change the total and then put the + and - after their new total. You have now added them in so their votes have been counted twice.

    Why Do You Hate An RPG System?

    In University I met someone that loved M.E.R.P. and had played heaps of it as a kid. I asked how their group coped with the lethality of the game. He admitted that they just didn't roll anything under 75%, if they rolled low they just rerolled. I had to laugh.

    Why Do You Hate An RPG System?

    There is only one game I hated. M.E.R.P - Middle Earth Role Playing. Spend a couple of hours looking at options and making a character. Then 5 minute of playing the game we see some Orcs at a distance in a forest. They get to go first before we could do anything. First attack of the game the...
