I debated this for a while as I too think ( on paper) it's a no win for the pcs, and takes away the agency from the pcs having a reasonable chance of escape of their own and almost requires the 'key slip' plot line. The pcs do have a couple things going for them that I wasn't fully appreciating...

I think a better question might be ..... Look at the list of skills presented and which ones seem interesting to YOU and the type of character you want to portray. Because we could make assumptions as to what is 'useful' but really it depends entirely on what your DM is like since your DM may...

For me the answer TOTALLY depending on the campaign, the DM style, and what kind of character I'm playing. Any variation of those three factors would change my response as to what's useful. It's a tabletop RPG, not a video game with preprogrammed right answers for situations, therefore it's a...

It's an adventure that you're interested in running so use it since a dm should be excited by the adventure. But having said that I'd toss out the caveat .... Ask the players who are familiar to not take charge of big decisions and let those unfamiliar make those choices. No matter how good...

I'm toying with an idea, just tossing it out there in case there is some factor I'm overlooking.... What if I allowed feats but I gave each feat the requirement of being a member of an in world organization as well as a certain renown level within the organization? This assumes of course...

Maggots, or spiders are even better. Though recognize that you take out the inherent 3rd dimension of the spells area by it not being a flying insect. But as long as the players won't be too pulled out by 'spiders in a 3 dimensional sphere' ( perhaps explained as quick webbing allowing them to...

Being the nerd that I am, I like stuff quantitatively... Though I would add a recommendation that when looking at results, you don't just consider total/average responses per question, but as time moves on you note the trend in category per person. I.e. Suppose player a and b always vote as a 7...

While a couple mentions as a Druid subclass have been mentioned, another option to consider is a fighter subclass akin to the eldritch knight but Druid spells instead of wizard; wis instead of int for spell casting stat; some feature that grants a bonus only usable while in light armor to...

The 'elevator' interior was lined with those same grey plates that has been used before to withstand superpowers ( their holding room had it, and the safe house where Skye was kept had it and it withstood hulk smashing... I know it was given a name and explained before , but my point being that...

I have to find the source again , and I could be remembering wrong, so take this with a grain of salt, but I feel like I saw a quote from mearls (maybe in that compiled Twitter thread?) where someone asked him about oota supplement and he said one is planned but somehow got bumped from the...

Thanks guys and gals, you've given me some great points to think about as I figure out details!

I tend to find sanctuary better for npc targets.... .... An escort mission trying to get an important ambassador from point a to b but he has no combat skills .... A fight in the middle of town where there are innocent bystanders just caught in the middle of the rampaging Godzilla .... To...

Being a smart mindflayer, I'd ....... 1) cut losses and get SELF out of danger 2) throw the pcs off track by having minions stay behind with some mood 'in charge' to do 'something' ( possibly lying to the minions telling them it's a change of plans). Thus allowing the pcs to defeat /stop the...

Do you feel like your character is useful/making an impact in the party? what percentage of time of the next few sessions would you want want devoted to the combat pillar of the game? The exploration pillar? The interaction pillar? Do you feel the dm was 'fair and impartial' in adjudicating...

I'm brainstorming a plot idea but I'm running in to a small but crucial snag so thought I'd tap the hivemind here. the pcs are going to be at their hometown and are basically starting the underground revolution to bring down the ruler. The ruler however, has a great public face and is liked by...

My 4e group still plays every Sunday (well during summer months it's every other week, but still, same idea :-)

Aww. From the thread title, I was expecting a pic of your grubby hands....... ;-)

I see several people commenting on the reasoning for lack of delay action option. In my personal gaming experience the reasons cited actually ring very true - I have a few players who always play spell casters and when they cast any 'till end of turn effects they always ask if they can delay in...

our house wifi router is called 'fruitsalad'. As a result of this every device and computer in the house is named after a fruit (Apple, mango, blueberry, etc). Do we ever refer to anything by such name in conversation? Nope. But each is assigned such a name during setup Our neighbors apparently...

I would use interpretation 1. The damage cap is used in the same sentence when talking about augmenting through spell slot level. The other stuff is listed seperatly and therefore in my reading would not be part of the damage cap. Of course, that's just my opinion :-?
