    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    but if I'm out foraging in the forest then survival is what I use to identify the things I can eat - so sure by raw it might not tell me if an unknown fruit is poisonous but it will tell me if it is not edible, which is all I need to know about it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    I'd put weather prediction, terrain lore, wayfinding, finding water, identifying edible/medicinal/poisonous plants and knowing cycles under Survival - If I'm in the wilderness hunting then I need to know where its safe to go, what the weather is doing, what plants I can eat and what to avoid...

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

    1 Okay so looks like Aywin and Shade-9 are the divers - sneak in and grab the idol from under the sleeping Hydra 2 Frog-Bjorn to take point in the water monitoring the hydra and fish, backup if Aywin or I fail (ie get caught) 3 We will need a Shore crew to keep an eye on the Hydra and to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Improving Medicine - one of the least loved skills.

    Youve covered some nice options, unfortunately medicine is undermined by healing spells and easy rest options. If spells were skill based Id require medicine skill to use cure spells. So maybe for a start allow a med check to stabilize to +1d6, scale up with level xd6? Healing on a short...

    D&D General How do you prefer your monster books?

    I want a book organised by Terrain and focussed on encounter design instead of Stat blocks:) - is that setting specific or mixed?

    D&D General Talking Animals

    Monkeys, Apes all have opposable thumbs and thus tool use, octopus, elephants, otters and racoons have fine manipulators though maybe disadvantage on slight of hand. Those centaur climbing rules crack me up, but it does take care of the biggest restriction on dog/wolf and other medium sized...

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

    I'm thinking a stealth option would be best (hence my last post mentioning that we should aim to avoid/minimise any carnage - I can cast Pass without Trace) Also noting that both Shade-9 and Aywin dont need to breath so can survive underwater (so thats 3 of us for the dive team - any others?)

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

    TEAM LAKEFILTRATE - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - Mark of the fallen star. Shade-9 remained back with the kayaks, motionless in a shaded recess, just outside the glow of the sword and lanterns. He observed as the two Teams integrated, logging behaviour, accessing profiles and making status assessments The...

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

    If it makes you feel better I had forgot about them too, until I noticed that Team Caves had found one. But then Id also forgot about needing to find a staff until now too - I thought we were here to kill a Dracolich :o !

    D&D General Talking Animals

    I've seen PCs play a Leopard Ranger without issue, mobility and speed outclass humanoid PCs, they get natural weapons (bite 1d6), stealth and pounce (knock prone) is great when working with allies. Hands arent an issue since others in the party are there to open doors and manipulate objects. The...

    Fantasy Stories That Don’t Romanticise the Past

    yeah I can accept that, I suppose I was focussing on the nihilism and skeptisim of the protagonist as the fantasy rather than the nature of the Land itself. Its a grim psychological venture into utopianism, but it is ultimately restorative rather than revealing a false idyllic

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk's Unarmoured Movement Improvement & Climbing Speed

    for the sake of cool Prince-of-Persia style parkour tricks I'd rule that If they also have a climb speed, they can end their turn clinging to a solid surface without falling. And even if they don’t have a climb speed, they can make a Dex (Acrobatics) check (DC 10–20 depending on surface) to...

    D&D General What are the boundaries of what counts as part ot Forgotten Realms?

    The Five Olympic Rings represent Asia, Africa, Europe, America (combined), Australia/Oceania - but of course the count can range from four to eight depending on the arrangement and context. The most 'scientific' approach is probably using the seven major tectonic plates (African, Antarctic...
