    D&D 5E (2014) Exploration and Social Interaction Challenges Discussion

    I didn't. What made you assume this? I'm aware.

    D&D 5E (2014) Exploration and Social Interaction Challenges Discussion

    You're welcome. Even though it's clear that Willikers is essentially sacrificable, I still don't get her personal motivation for poisoning anyone in terms of how it benefits her. It just seems too likely to get her killed and lose her out on potential future income, even if she's a great liar...

    D&D 5E (2014) How does the Reincarnation spell actually work in practice?

    I can't take that seriously, it just sounds like you have a bias against suicide. Clearly, you aren't cut out for the adventuring business.

    D&D 5E (2014) How does the Reincarnation spell actually work in practice?

    Given the complex issue of defining mental health, can you define what a 'right mind' is in the first place?

    Something about Willikers behavior bothers me. Wouldn't poisoning the food reveal that he's up to no good? Is he an agent of the Keepers, or just a dupe?

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Rise of Tiamat" (Practical stuff to try at your table!)

    http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Harshnagg He showed up in the 3.5 City of Splendors Waterdeep sourcebook. He's some kind of Waterdhavian super riot cop, if I remember correctly.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there too much gold/reward?

    D&D 5E (2014) Cool things to do with books

    Obviously it's a copy of Atlas Shrugged with a new cover and it enchants the PC, making them build an underwater city full of mutants.

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlerager Reckless Abandon

    At higher levels enemies do a fair bit more than that. The combined resistance +Tempory HP was a nice idea, but it scales poorly as is. Should have been Con score, I think.

    Can Wizards Avoid Another OGL Glut?

    Pfft. If they didn't want glut, they shouldn't have made a glut license for glut makers. GLUT FOR THE GLUT GOD!

    D&D 5E (2014) Feathergale Spire: The players want revenge!

    Technically, they have plenty of time. They just need to find a place out of the wind. Gotta remember them tornado drills.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feathergale Spire: The players want revenge!

    As far as I know, dispel magic isn't mentioned by the item text. Also, that seems a little anticlimactic for a crazy magic bomb.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feathergale Spire: The players want revenge!

    Storm of Vengeance PHB pg 279. Actually far less damaging, it only lasts for 10 rounds, only has an AoE of 360 radius in comparison. Big, scary, for a spell, not actually on the Air Orbs level.

    D&D 5E (2014) Minor Illusion...can it be cast over other objects?

    No, minting is hard. Coinage would have massive variation in the pre-international banking era. Every coin would be weird, and knowledge of coins would be a specialty thing due to an ever changing set of demands on coin makers as different people came into power, and no way of recalling...

    D&D 5E (2014) Feathergale Spire: The players want revenge!

    1 hour of 1d4 damage =600 rounds *2.5 average 1d4 roll= 1500 damage if every con save is failed the character remains in the AoE the entire time. Save of 18 means that with a Con of 10 and no proficiency, full exposure should do (17/20)*1500=1275 damage. Divide by 600 and we see a damage per...

    D&D 5E (2014) Minor Illusion...can it be cast over other objects?

    When I say 'creatures' I'm including the so called civilized races, like humans, dwarves, elves, halfings, gnomes and any others with large and powerful societies. No matter how much time someone spends with coins, unless they devote time not just to using them for entertainment but actually...

    D&D 5E (2014) Minor Illusion...can it be cast over other objects?

    It's the text. We really have no way of determining how many players actually run it that way out of the entire DnD playing population.

    D&D 5E (2014) Minor Illusion...can it be cast over other objects?

    Being able to to notice differences in coins requires familiarity with the coins. I'd argue that most creatures have little to no experience inspecting coinage for forgery, with the exception of officials, merchants and others who engage in tax collection or trade on a routine basis.

    D&D 5E (2014) Minor Illusion...can it be cast over other objects?

    Keeping an Illusions shape similar to whatever it's been cast on should be a major advantage IMO. Making coins look more valuable than they are would be one such very useful trick. I mean, fooling people is one of the entire points of Illusion spells. As long as those people aren't the super...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disguise Self

    You're correct about the benefits, but all benefits mentioned can be gained through non magical means. The 'blade inside something normal looking trick' has been used IRL, after all, and I'm pretty sure most people can't cast spells around here.
