    RPG Evolution - D&D Tactics: Hikes

    Hi, No, I do not remember, this was a while ago. We have browns and blacks in city limits so it could have been either.

    RPG Evolution - D&D Tactics: Hikes

    I live in Alaska. I knew four people who were killed by bears. A friend of my mothers ( a very experienced hiker) and her son-in law were killed by a bear in city limits. Apparently the bear had a moose kill near the trail, and when they unknowingly got to close to the kill it thought they were...

    D&D 5E (2024) What, exactly, is a 5e "scimitar"?

    They're weapons that almost never get used because they cost 25 GP and the functionally identical, except pierceing, Shortsword is only 10GP. Few L1 characters are rich enough to want to pay the extra 15 GP, and few higher level characters every bother to switch.

    D&D 5E (2024) New Bonus action: Run

    My table is only so big. Making combats that are too big for the average dining room table discourages minis and encourages theater of the mind.

    D&D 5E (2024) What genres are we missing?

    That is Primeval Thule, and it is awesome.

    D&D General What Would Happen if Fiends Came to Fill the "Low CR Monsters" Niche?

    If Demons started being more Common wouldn't it just lead to, literal, witch hunts for Demon summoners? More Demons = more marginalized and minority people who may not be guilty being killed by suspicious neigbors and authoritarian goverments. Unless you first establish a clear mechanism for...

    D&D 5E (2024) Taking a healing potion as a bonus action?

    It is not just your action to drink or administer it it is also your interact to draw it.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Damage of Unarmed Strikes

    In the real world hitting people who are down so that they have to make deaths saves is why the district attorney charges you with Murder 1, not Murder 2 or Manslaughter if they fail those saves; or attempted murder, not Assault if they make those saves.

    D&D 5E (2024) IF you're allowing a PC to roll, WHEN does autosuccess matter?

    Why would either of them roll? Don't you just compute the weight of the cart and its contents, compare it to the players Carrying Capacity, and determine it from that?

    D&D 5E (2024) 5.5 Nat 20/CritHit Rule in play

    If you use the "Steady Aim" feature from Tasha's, then Rogues will have advantage whenever they want, as long as they are willing to have a Speed of zero. This is what makes the L7 Half Elf Rogue with Elven Accuracy a kill-bot in the game I am running.

    D&D 5E (2014) How difficult should Difficulty be?

    Planar travel is a thing - Example - Raistlin travels to the Forgotten Realms and talks with Elminster about the War of the Lance. Elminster repeats part of this. Someone writes what Elminster says down. Your FR PC reads it. That's how your FR PC knew about some DL events even though he had...

    D&D 5E (2024) IF you're allowing a PC to roll, WHEN does autosuccess matter?

    Why on earth would the dramatic importance of something happening alter the possibility of something happening? This is not a novel, this is a game. Games have rules, and players who are at all good at math should, barring hidden information such as "there's a trap in that door" almost always be...

    D&D 5E (2024) IF you're allowing a PC to roll, WHEN does autosuccess matter?

    Possibly the "outcome being in doubt" will vary depending on who is acting? Does WOTC expects every DM to have every PC's sheet memorized?

    D&D 5E (2024) Inspiration From Nat 20 Will Bog Down The Game

    When Dungeon Masters know that players will have Inspiration more often they will take this into account when designing encounters. Therefore players will, logically, try to increase the percentage of time they have Inspiration to a higher percentage than the DM expected when designing the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Auto-succeed/fail on ability checks

    What if "automatically fails on a 1" was only for Untrained skills and "automatically succeeeds on a 20" was only for Trained skills?

    D&D 5E (2024) Auto-succeed/fail on ability checks

    If the feat is "sing in key" it may be impossible for Player P but routine for Player L, conversely if the feat is "extract a square root in your head" the feat may be routine for Player P but impossible for Player L, because L has discalcula and P is (almost) tone deaf. Why wouldn't characters...
