    D&D 5E (2014) Spells that make you go Hmm....

    I agree with some of your points. I think most of the consolidation of spells into a single spell with multiple applications/options is a strength of 5e (Bigby's hand, I am looking at you). Create homunculus (which is actually 6th level, not 5th), is not a throwback. Back in AD&D days, a 7th...

    Purple is Star Wars shorthand for Badass. :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone play 5e Perception rules as written?

    How is this different for parties with a light source? Most light sources have a smaller radius than darkvision. Remember that monsters using darkvision also have disadvantage to see the party if the party is not using a light source.

    I complained before about Sol not sensing Osha was really Mae, but episode 6 shows Sol is clearly distraught after the losses on Khofar. I can see that that could cloud his senses, as Mae points out to him.

    Any speculation as to what this means? :unsure:

    I doubt this. With Bazil finding the remains of Pip and sniffing around after Mae, I think Bazil will be instrumental in exposing the switch.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Spell Sage Advice (& Descriptions) are you afraid won't be "fixed"?

    As to the general question, I would hope they go a bit beyond Sage Advice and actually give "sage advice" and offer a range of options for various sticking points. They could go into a discussion of a few, detailing common solutions, and the results they bring to the game in terms of tone and...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Spell Sage Advice (& Descriptions) are you afraid won't be "fixed"?

    An adjacent opponent armed with two weapons can spend their action and bonus action to bring instant death to a downed target. A creature with multiattack can do it with just an action. And they can do it all day long for free. I have no problem with a limited resource like a leveled spell (not...

    D&D 5E (2014) There Will Be No More Hydro74 Alternate D&D Covers

    I was really hoping that Hydro74 would do the standard covers for the new core books. Alas...

    Agreed on these three. Dark Matter was a cool show overall, but then I am a sucker for alternate universe stories.

    I did not need to know where everyone was, but it was very "plot convenience playhouse presents" (to borrow a phrase from MST3K) for Qimir to land near Bazil's location. I get that they wanted to get Pip's remains to Bazil. I predict that he will show it to Mae (as Osha) and she will be all...

    @Zardnaar above pointed out it was the Thrawn duology that introduced cortosis. My mistake saying it was the trilogy. I think the helmet also enabled Qimir to withstand the stunner.

    Yes! When I watched Severance, I thought it was just a one season limited series of 10 episodes. I watched the end of episode 9 and was really jazzed to watch episode 10, thinking, "This is all coming together into a bang-up ending!" But I uttered all manner of naughty words when AppleTV dumped...

    Trailer RED ONE | Official Trailer

    Not many other holidays are associated with an individual who could be kidnapped. The Easter Bunny? And some religions do not like their revered figures depicted in any fashion, much less in an action comedy film.

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    When Disney bought Lucasfilm, they declared the Extended Universe (EU) material to be non-canon, and grouped it all under the Star Wars Legends label. Certain aspects and elements of the EU have been re-introduced and made canonical over the intervening years, and cortosis looks to be the...

    As pointed out, it was striking cortosis armor that was briefly disrupting the lightsaber functionality. I think they will explain more about cortosis in a future episode, which would be good. A show should be accessible to more than just hardcore fans. Only one lightsaber was cut in half, and...

    I think Qimir knows he has Osha because of her hair, and probably her tattoo.
