Oh absolutely. Not every build is going to work, and sadly, a great many of them are traps or at the least, not fantastic. I'm reminded of a friend who really liked the idea of being a Rage Mage, and fueling his magic with the power of his anger....but a close look at the Prestige Class...

I had a discussion the other day with some friends about which version of D&D we liked best. My breakdown was this: 2e for lore and interesting settings. 3e for player options. 4e for the DM, with encounters being very easy to build and run. 5e for newer players. Not as complex as previous...

It's perfectly fine to have preferences. In another thread about the level band of most adventures, someone (sorry I can't recall who at the moment) defined several categories of D&D gamers. One subset vastly prefers the levels 1-3 play loop, with low hit points, easy death, characters having...

If you're going to have Tymora, then it seems to me you'd have to include Beshaba. Or fuse them back together into Tyche.

The thing about "gritty low-fantasy" settings with visceral, brutal combat that I think a lot of people gloss over is the copious amounts of plot armor the main characters have to have to survive their stories. Conan is superhuman in his ability to absorb punishment, and that's a trait shared...

"Smile Time" remains my favorite episode of Angel. With this cast? It could be a lot of fun. I really enjoyed "Subspace Rhapsody" and "Those Old Scientists", so the occasional silly episode is fine by me!

If it's true, how can it be a heresy?

Q (DeLancie) claims that he can have a child with just about anything, or, to quote him directly from "The Q and the Grey": "...could have chosen a Klingon targ, the Romulan empress, a Cyrillian microbe."

I have had players discuss going on certain adventures to get specific loot, and DM's who were willing to run those adventures, but I never had someone check their phone before sitting down at a game! That having been said, what I did have was any time a rules question came up, I'd say what my...

I mean, the difference between an Arch-Devil and a God is really poorly defined anyways, as Arch-Devil's can grant Cleric spells to their followers if they want to.

Death can be permanent in certain situations- Tomb of Annihilation, as I recall was one. During Curse of Strahd, a Ranger was disintegrated which turned into a whole thing as the player (a young girl) burst into tears at the loss of her character when it was explained that a mere raise dead...

Lathander, I say!

Though I will come out and say that stacking resistance probably isn't broken- with a caveat. There's enough different damage types a player can be subject to that even if you had triple resistance to say, fire, it shouldn't become an issue all that often unless the game is somehow fire themed...

I'm not sure how the thread got on this tangent, but about AL, I will say, during my stint as a DM for AL, despite the fact that it's very clearly stated that: I received unbelievable pushback for daring to make adventures "harder" for the players. It was surreal, something I'd never...

I should have expected zombies, but I was not expecting zombies.

It's simple. He's a q not a Q.

Had a couple of instances like this crop up recently- we just started playing Tales of the Valiant, so there's a few new things. One was the Bard's ability to allow players to spend a healing surge with a bonus equal to their Cha. They were telling people that they could add their Con to this...

Not being able to choose which special trick you're going to use each turn (without weapon swapping) and being forced to use the same one over and over and over again is probably my biggest problem with the system. I want warriors to be doing more than "I swing", but weapon masteries aren't...
