    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    Ghorrak stomped a foot into the cauldron and swung at the skeleton in front of him Unarmed strike at the cauldron, greatsword at the skeleton, moving to BN 59. attacks: 1D20+7 = [8]+7 = 15 1D20+7 = [16]+7 = 23 damage: 2D6+4 = [5, 1]+4 = 10

    WotC What is the last WotC adventure you played in or DM'd?

    Playing in a Curse of Strahd campaign that started last month, I ran a heavily rewritten Hoard of the Dragon Queen campaign a few years ago.

    The Savage Seas (5e) [IC]

    Embarrassed by his now obvious misjudgment of the situation, Zrok leaned quietly against a nearby chair, hoping that listening to the other brawlers' conversation would clear things up. A series of small hiccups betrayed his attempted nonchalance.

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    Ghorrak ignored the hunter and the larger question of how to survive, heading toward the cauldron in the corner and trying to smash it with his greatsword. Dashing as a bonus action with Adrenaline Rush, then trying to break the pot. I'm attacking under the assumption that a cauldron that big...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you ACTUALLY use 3rd Party Books?

    Yes. I use plenty of monsters, magic items, encounters, adventures, etc. I don't see a meaningful difference between homebrewed things and third party content. I'll allow player things with reservations, because some of the people I play with want to play...strange things but I have okayed...

    D&D General Are You Seriously Planning to Stop Playing and/or Running D&D Over The Recent OGL Developments?

    I'm not planning on forcing my group to do anything, and a friend of mine is running his first game right now using 5e so I don't plan to stop playing, but I have already told them that as it stands I probably won't run anymore dnd games. I'm certainly not spending any more money on Hasbro...

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    Depends on the drink. For just coffee it would be very expensive to somewhat reasonable depending on the size and some other factors in my neck of the woods.

    D&D General I DM because...

    A combo of usually being the only one willing to do it, and then on the rare occasions someone else does I'll start to think of all the things I would have done differently and then it starts the cycle of me doing it again.

    D&D General DM Says No Powergaming?

    I don't think any game is built presuming it's true, which doesn't change the fact that it happens.

    D&D General DM Says No Powergaming?

    Sometimes you wind up in groups where adult conversations aren't possible, and it's easier/better than being alone. It's obviously not ideal or healthy but it does happen.

    D&D General DM Says No Powergaming?

    I was onboard with the idea that people are a lot faster to cry "That DM" than they are "That Player" but this is a pretty alien train of thought to me, and I'm usually told whenever I talk about my groups that I've had very bad luck with players.

    D&D General Would It Matter To You if D&D Books Were Illustrated by AI Instead of Humans?

    I don't believe I've said anything about fair use, but AI training wouldn't fall under it. Using art educationally is completely different from training AI beyond some superficial resemblance because similar language is used. And I could not care less about the ethics of science fiction AI...

    D&D General Would It Matter To You if D&D Books Were Illustrated by AI Instead of Humans?

    It doesn't seem that complicated or nuanced to me, taking someone's work without their consent and using it to make money for yourself without paying or even crediting them is wrong. Full stop.

    Dragonlance I found the good Hoopak Kender build

    I'm about 70% sure the reroll is only for the weapon's damage dice, not any additional ones.

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    Ghorrak roared at the zombie as he swung again trying to finish it off. The pain threw his first swing off but the second one connected. Con Save: 1D20+6 = [18]+6 = 24 _: 1D20+7 = [1]+7 = 8 1D20+7 = [16]+7 = 23 _: 2D6+4 = [5, 1]+4 = 10

    The Savage Seas (5e) [IC]

    Zrok sprang from the floor to a chair and then launched himself at the orc's chest to knock him down, then did his best to pin the orc. The realization that this struggle felt different than the brawl with sailors managed to get through Zrok's drunken stupor and he blinked at the group around...

    (IC) We be Jammin' (5e PBP)

    Sweet William finished off the remaining blight then extended a hand to Devin. "Come on, you can go faster up here than on foot." Not really waiting for a response he hauled the old man up behind him and set off toward the docks. I believe my minimum damage will kill it. The elk can move 100...

    Spelljammin' (5e PBP OOC) (Full)

    I was still waiting for my last post to be resolved but if I'm the one holding it up I'll try to find some time in my Thanksgiving prep to post. Probably tonight or tomorrow.

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's: How Do You Justify NPC's Having Magic/Abilities That Don't Exist in the PHB?

    Add me to the "I don't" train. It's not even something I even think about. If a player is bothered by it, because they're either new or coming from an edition where this mattered, I'll just talk to them about it. In theory I might point out that they can do things that most people/creatures...
