Yes. Certainly on the Dex talk. It is a very compelling stat. I think as well, Elves by virtue of the shared media we have all consumed are thought of as graceful and beautiful. Who doesn't want to be that? Why wouldn't you want your character to turn heads when it strolls into town? I hope...

Yes! My point exactly. It's like some people want everyone to have their experiences be the hobby as a whole's experiences. My fantasy is your fantasy. My fast agile Elves are your fast agile Elves. While that would really help us all with discussions and understanding because we would have a...

Yeah, amazing, that the attribute bonuses given to races was actually stifling people's creative drive to play them. Imagine if there was this optional rule coming out that let people play what they wanted instead of what the games arbitrary mechanics promoted!? I agree. This doesn't really...

Disagree. Maybe you are correct, if we take in a survey from every person who has played D&D and found accurately every character they have ever built and played. You are still going to encounter race/class concepts that you don't normally see. I have little doubt we will continue to see the...

You are kidding yourself if you think this optional rule for racial stats will mean an influx of halfling barbarians. They will be just as rare. I have seen 0 halfling barbarians, and only 2 halfling PCs in all my years. One was a thief and the other a bard. You are worried about this like...

I wish that I could just 'take a rest' if the future of my entire career in my industry was suddenly washed. Must be nice to have that parachute.

That person has my instant respect.

There is a Dwelf you say? Strokes beard Interesting...

Please no. Let me take the encounters as given and tweak them as needed. I don't need more crud in my book thanks. WOTC doesn't know my party, I do. Let me the DM be the one deciding the difficulty of the encounters during a given day.

I am a Wisconsinite and this cut me deep. :p Trying hard to keep my parents sticking to guidelines. I think the length of time is wearing on my father, not to mention more and more peer pressure to treating it like nothing too serious. A big reason I left the rural part of my state.

What?

Sorry. I respect Maxperson and his opinions. They are just that, opinions. Neither of you can tell me what is right for my campaign or my table, nor can Sage Advice for that matter. Really I was hoping to point out the futility of the argument that one person's interpretation of how a magic...

Having your players argue and carp at every turn while you are trying to run a campaign sounds really enjoyable. Carry on!

Might have to do with a certain CEO being a member of a certain person's Westchester, New York golf club. Or that the company got a fat government grant through operation warp speed. Supposedly this certain someone also had stock in that treatment as well as others being used heavily for the...

Can we talk about how the President of the United States of America who tested positive and received treatment for COVID-19 last week, is now still planning on making two in-person rallies this weekend?

Maybe in the literature you have read and seen it applied, or have applied it. Not for everyone. To me, it looks like two people yelling past one another because you eat your toast butter side up, and they eat their toast butter side down.

I'm sorry you have to experience this. Every time I run a campaign, a published adventure, or a homebrewed world, I have a session zero to ensure my players want to play in it. That they accept the premise and understand the theme topics we are going for in the current adventure. It really sucks...

Are we really now fighting about how Doctorbadwolf envisions the magic part of a magic shield working? Maybe it does put a ever so slight barrier around the user or holder? Who are we to argue how the MAGIC part of the magic shield is described in an individual game? It might just come down to...

True. I don't know that a lot of what they put out is bad though. I simply don't use it. I feel I have a pretty good handle on how my table works. May be more important once I go back to like Adventure League stuff, but even then, I don't know that it would ever be an end all be all. Nothing I...

Problems with SA are easy to solve if you never read them in the first place. Maybe I am blessed with a lack of rules lawyers at this point? I definitely had them in the past.
