For me, bards are the masters of communication. They can bring communities together or tear them apart. They can make deals that must be honored. As a very important byproduct of that, the have phenomenal memories and retain with great fidelity information stored as poems, songs, even paintings...

I am so sorry for your loss. I have almost lost two of my children, one from disease, the other depression. Terrible texts sent and received, chilling words from physicians. I don't know the loss, but I have known the fear of it. I am so sorry.

Only 25 more years to go.

Much like Slytherin house isn't evil, but all the dark wizards have come from Slytherin house. As far as myth and legend concerning the innate evil of animating dead, you have the zombi myth of Haiti. The malevolent bokor, magicians, create them to use as their personal slaves. There is also a...

He mailed feces to Tenkar?! Being mentioned in a legal communication, and footnoted, I guess it's true, but I'm still incredulous. I can't believe someone would do something so petty and stupid when you have legal action against ... the recipient of the package. He's running out of feet to...

That's a modern mindset. Which is fine, we're modern people. And you can change the rules however you please, that's the great thing about this game.

That's what wall of fire is for.

As far as healing goes, you could take the concept of system strain from Worlds Without Number. A body can only handle so much rapid healing or change before the magic or process ceases to work.

My tech is roughly early 17th Century with some additions and subtractions. There are firearms, "runelocks", that use bluepowder rather than blackpowder. The main difference being that it doesn't support its own combustion, so grenades are the biggest bang you can get. No cannons or bombs...

Questions that come to mind- "What do you want to do?" How common is magic? Items, casters, and high level casters? Are there enough 12th level casters to cause societal change, and are they interested in doing so? How common are high level characters? What level would the local Cincinnatus...

This is the original concept for the warlock, IIRC. The main limitation is that you can only have one spell active at a time. The rest of the design flows from that. So, half-baked at the moment but similar tubers that others had.

For 5e: Ability Scores, number of bonus feats, potency and quantity of magic items, access to Inspiration, use of feats for "multiclassing" just for other class abilities. Stats aren't that important in older editions, but near critical in 5e.

Never heard of that before. Some assumptions I quibble with, but an interesting reference.

Hmm... Let's say 26-50 pages for the section that sees the most attention. 10-25 pages for the rest of the world, where there's a page for each section, geographic or political. Easily a third or less of the former section. About a page campaign intro, which translates to "Welcome to...

"Quaff", which my grandmother wouldn't let me use when we played Scrabble. She never heard of it and it wasn't in the pocket dictionary. Communication, both with scenes and interpersonally. Much practice lead to better friendships.

Well, an arcane trickster could use a damaging single target spell with sneak attack, right?

When I lived in Florida, a thunderstorm would roll in amazingly predictably at 1445 every afternoon in August. In this place, some weather phenomena rolls in at nearly the same time every day disrupting travel, errands, and commerce. A powerful dust storm, heavy rain, tarantula migration...

Or it is an object that has a temporary reality. If someone had Capo Ferro 2 (+1 AC if armed with an appropriate weapon in the off hand) would the flame blade count? Would shadow blade? Could you disarm someone wielding a flame blade however temporarily? This seems to be an overall question...

Mr. LaNasa's lawyer filed a motion requesting to amend the complaint removing Tenkar's mom from the suit, and stating that he acknowledges that he was convicted of a misdemeanor 20 years ago. This is in response to a suggestion from the judge to come to some "agreement of terms" with Tenkar else...

So, according to the wording of the spell you can't use flame blade as an extra attack weapon. But, you can use shadow blade thusly? How much damage or other effects does shadow blade do? Are they equivalent? If they are, and one is explicitly permissive in this tactic and the other is...
