I stopped reading A Resistance of Witches about halfway through last night for that exact reason. I wasn't enjoying it so I paused to think about why it wasn't working. The intrigue's too shallow/obvious for it to work as a spy novel, the action scenes aren't very gripping and it doesn't...

Yeah, so far as I can tell just asking them at the start of negotiation doesn't cost patience. But thinking of some people I've known I can definitely imagine a scenario where the way you ask would.

That's all I found too, but glancing at the Downtime section (I have no experience with these rules at all, there wasn't time for them in the adventures I ran) it doesn't seem like it would be very hard to use some of these to find a motivation.

They're baked into the negotiation rules. You can just ask an NPC about their motivation, but they might not want to tell you. In that case, or to discover pitfalls, a hero makes a Reason, Intuition, or Presence test. On a tier 1, you learn nothing and reduce the NPC patience by 1. Tier 2...

The Illrigger only exists in 5th edition at the moment. I don't think they've decided if it will be its own class or a subclass of Censor when/if they make one. But if you had someone who wanted to play one the Censor is close enough.

I didn't ever scale down, or even build my own encounters, so I can't speak for that part but the Conduit is always useful. Respites are not as easy to come by as long rests, so sources of temporary stamina are hugely beneficial so the 5-15 temp that Faith Is Our Armor gives was a big help to...

I think a lot of the success of Baldur's Gate 3 comes from the quality of the game itself. It's a big ambitious game that nails almost everything it set out to do. From what I've seen there are plenty of players who aren't interested in DnD at all. And I think a lot of those people are going...

Why not both?

Well it's in a sauce and the pineapple's tag team partner, the habanero, is going to be doing the heavy lifting.

I'm eating pineapple on pizza right now, and I'm going to regret it later.

It's interesting hearing what counts as a campaign for different groups, for mine (if we still played) the Draw Steel version of the Delian Tomb would be a full campaign.

Hopefully in 6 months they'll have come up with better criticisms

nevermind, this whole topic is a waste of time

Did it never occur to you that what you're reading as disinterest is...him roleplaying Jago?

From recent appearances it seems like he's getting worse at it.

I've been tricked by a string of unrelated people across several places online insisting that anyone who liked Baldur's Gate 3 would absolutely love "Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader". I've played it long enough to say that unless the reason you liked BG3 is you just love any and all CRPGs...

We're having the conversation right now and I'm not going to say we're bringing back dinosaurs.

Once you start running them, the monsters aren't really as complicated as they appear. They're just...differently complicated from dnd. For the most part it all clicked in game since everything works how it says it does.

Hákarl is the one that springs to mind for me. The meat of the shark is poisonous unless you let it rot for a few months, and then you end up with something that smells like urine.
