    Yes, discussed in the paragraph before the one you quoted.

    D&D 5E (2024) Help me Houserule 5e Equipment & Items

    I think the problem with any rpg economies is that people spend the minimum on everything and nothing on actual quality of life for their characters. On the one hand, getting money is tough and slow outside of adventuring, and in adventuring the amounts are completely dependent on the DM. On...

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    Absolutely -- which is, I suspect at least in part, why it hasn't made it to 2024 yet. My point is that its interaction with the 2024 True Strike is not ambiguous.

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    Is it really this complicated? True Strike requires a weapon with a cash value of 1cp or more. Unarmed Strikes (and natural weapons) These are excluded. There's no good reason, and yes it shuts down some builds. This is a case the spell author will have considered. They want a weapon, and it's...

    Hey team: just to say I will be offline for 48h. See you on Sunday afternoon.

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    Overall, this is a substantial improvement. For me, the highlight is the Psykineticist's Boost ability -- all of a sudden an ability meant to be used against enemies becomes a way you can help your allies if you choose this subclass. That's fun, smart design. But there's a lot of weird wording...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Urgan is disappointed his spell doesn't work, but before he tries again he attempts to grab Velandra so that she does not escape. With a wide sweep of his arm... he attemps to connect. Velandra's voice cries out, clear and confident, "Flee and save yourself! I'll be fine!" Wisdom save...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    @FitzTheRuke Did Valendra save against the Phantasmal Force cast by Urgan? Just checking before I post.

    D&D General Actual Play: Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set

    I suspect the child had written "Dexterity" and "Constitution" more times than he had written his name.

    D&D General Actual Play: Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set

    When I played with my son, he could have anything in his backpack that he wrote down on his character sheet. RPG play intersected with parental concern about his printing. Total success.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Urgan Magali thinks of his workshop. The craaftsman next to him, a dwarf with body odor, was always carving heads of one kind or another and leaving them on display, so that some day he would have a homunculus with an impressive beard. Urgan had his doubts about the whole project, but that's...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Caves. Urgan looks at the multiple forms of Valendra, and prepares to act.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases Updated Unearthed Arcana for Arcane Subclasses

    Fair enough; I see room for disagreement, but I've edited the previous post.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases Updated Unearthed Arcana for Arcane Subclasses

    I was limiting the list to PHB 2024; I think they can't design with everything in the ten years previous for consistency -- there's just to much that's potentially OP. As for Dragon's Breath: I looked at that and I think in plain-language terms, the spell does cause damage. It does require the...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases Updated Unearthed Arcana for Arcane Subclasses

    Wow! I don't think I noticed that before. I didn't even look it up, I thought I knew the spell. Thanks.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases Updated Unearthed Arcana for Arcane Subclasses

    Thanks! Damage ones aren't included, but I am grateful for the others.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases Updated Unearthed Arcana for Arcane Subclasses

    Yes -- Even with Fly, I think the Enchanter gets the better part of this deal. Still doesn't touch the other two Wizard subclasses.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases Updated Unearthed Arcana for Arcane Subclasses

    Trying to get a sense of some of the level 6 abilities in the playtest. 5 spells total for both Transmuter and Enchanter, but many strong level-1 spells for the Enchanter if they can access the Cleric or Bard lists. Neither of these come close to what the Necromancer and Conjuror get at 6...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Concentrating on the distracting visions for the houndsman, Urgan walks up and swings at the last remaining dog, but utterly fails to connect.He feels his age, believing he was once more coordinated than this. It isn't true. Concentrating: Phantasmal force. Move 30' to BB7. Attack with staff...
