Cars actually aren't for fighting duels or killing ruffians.

What do you think a rapier was designed for?

I don't think you can use Action Surge to Cast a Spell, even if the Cast a Spell is part of a Ready action. Action Surge doesn't limit the action type based on the sequence in the round, it's an absolute restriction. Mind you, I don't care for the change, or lots of related issues, but I think...

Maximilian armor is real weaponry. And a rapier is a real weapon, just not one you'd use against someone in Maximilian plate.

The rapier actually wasn't invented until about 1540, and didn't see widespread adoption for another century. Plate armor, pollaxes, and the arquebus (gun) all predate the rapier by more than a century. Sidearms like the sword, rapier, katana and so forth were primarily used in close quarters...

Part of it's that it's such a modern weapon, it begs for an explanation why it's needed in the first place.

Bodybuilders wouldn't have particularly high strength in D&D. Bodybuilders aren't necessarily climbers or even particularly athletic, they are just specifically conditioned for muscle mass. Maybe a powerlifter or hockey player would be a better comparison? Again, I'll take The Mountain with a...

Yes. In a duel. But historically they saw little action in mass combat. No, not at all. Finesse weapons were probably just a bad idea in the first place, but feat-gating them at least kept things less silly. Your real steel rapier is going to be a lot more deadly in the hands of a Marine than...

Don't bring an exacto knife to a lucerne hammer fight.

I've spent a lot of time in the kitchen and I just picture the tip snapping off. Also, can you get it deep enough to do damage? Even something intended for boar hunting would be almost underpowered.

You evade, and strike at the incoming claw.

I would definitely put the lucerne hammer near the top of my list. Let's break some scales! Maybe bust a claw.

That is also correct.

Well, no, fighting a dragon is obviously nuts. But if I were going to do it, I wouldn't pick something that is as close to useless as I can imagine.

Sometimes I wonder at one point it was decided that a rapier was a suitable weapon for fighting dragons.

Vegan... cloak of teleportation... :D

My mom took away my D&D books when I was 12. Then she overheard us playing TMNT with a kidnapping scenario, and took those away, too. She told me she burned them. In reality, she just hid them. When I was 13, I did some work in stepdad's shop for which I was paid. I was told I could spend the...

AD& wizards were about "What spell is useful in this situation?" and "is it worth it to cast it?" Whereas in 3e they started moving toward a game where conceptually, wizards should be using magic all the time. In AD&D, you didn't have a lot of spell choice. You found what you found, you got a...

I've always liked it. It's a fairly classic swords-and-sorcery setting with some signature themes, such as a ecology, the remoteness of the gods, and metal poverty. It has that mid-20th century fantasy-with-a-sci-fi-accent thing going on. I see no reason it couldn't be done under various...

Spray and pray is sort of viable for a Chinese-type reloading crossbow. At some point, you are going to want to either become a Heroic Archer or get some kind of technological upgrade. In the world of Dungeon Fantasy, I see no reason why gatling crossbows couldn't be a thing.
