Interesting thing about jump, it's not a movement speed change, its "spending" movement speed for distance. This means things that reduce your speed shouldn't affect our jump distance. A Slowed characters still jump 30ft. Difficult terrain can be jumped over (net gain of 25ft). As written, it...

In 1e and 2e adventures there were a massive number of classed NPCs. Every adventure seemed to be full of npc fighters, wizards, thieves and clerics. So they were using PC rules....a lot. Only background peasants who didn't even get names were 0-level. 3e made a tier of non-hero grade...

Agreed. 5E casters can do bulk amounts of damage a few times a day, but that "bulk" is across multiple targets via AoEs (28hp x 6 foes in a fireball). Spells don't clear rooms like in 1e. Warriors tend to do more damage per round vs single targets (3x attacks @ 20hp ea) which is better at...

You know, the phrase "team member" applies some semblance of roles within a team. Pick your term: cavalry, scout, cataphract, archer, pikeman, artillierist, engineer, striker, tank, controller; roles are a thing in teams. It's not like anyone's asking a fighter not to fight, just to fight...

The DM in my current campaign made a custom item I am sure he intended for my bard. Except one of the core abilities was "spend charges to add (charges)d6 bonus thunder damage on a successful attack". Bards have zero spells with attack rolls and I have only used a weapon once over 9 levels of...

Definitely hits chrome on Android 14. Mine seizes up about twice a day. I couldn't tell you which ads b/c it freezes during page load. Seems to happen a bit more on "open in new tab" than 'next page" but that's an impressions with no stats.

I'm similar to kronovan in that I learned Autocad for surveying 30+ years ago and make most of my world maps using QGIS. (My favorite is based on Mars lidar mapping) 1.How important is the ability to randomly generate vs just make a map manually? I see the value to some people to have random...

Predators that hunt migratory species would also migrate which creates a lot of opportunities for any carnivorous species to be migratory in specific locales even if not generally migratory. Assume all cold-based creatures come out of the mountains/arctic to hunt. Yeti, rhemoraz, thanoi...

That's probably for horseshoes. Swords probably require coin, given that they are a couple weeks' of wages for a skilled worker. That requires an investment from the smith, so half up front. Maybe if you supplied the iron and coal you could pay the rest off in chickens & grains.

I'm not sure you know what bards get with Magical Secrets. They don't get cantrips from their own class list,,they get to learn extra spells from OTHER classes lists. 2014 lore bards can have 6 wizard/sorcerer spells from Additional/Magic Secrets, including Wish. Plus they have 2 more known...

This is basically the bard "schtick". All bard subclasses are like that. Valor - warrior/caster Sword -warrior/caster Dance - monk/caster Lore - caster/expert Glamour - enchanter/expert Creation - conjurer/expert Caster - can imitate wizard/ sorceror/ druid/ cleric based on spell...

Well, according to one North American religion, a carpenter from the roman empire showed up in the Americas for a time after untimely reports of his death. So I guess they gave us Mormons.

History is a tapestry and most people don't know the breadth or width. This is like a Samurai(1) in Mexico(2) sending a fax(3) to Abraham Lincoln(4). (1) Samurai lost power in 1868, abolished in 1870s (2) The first Samurai arrived in Mexico in 1619: Hasekura Tsunenaga - Wikipedia (3) The...

Back to the OP eons ago, I would like to see one small table in the DMG to reflect different economic realities. One kingdom life is easy and the next one over is suffering from crippling taxes or a blight or such. So assuming the unskilled worker wage was adjusted to 3+sp/day so it wasn't...

It is not tied to d&d in any major way, aside from examples. It's called Dungeon Mastery as Tracy Hickman is one of the authors and why wouldn't you make the indirect connection to Dragonlance?

Have you read XDM? (X-treme Dungeon Mastery) It has a whole section on making a kind of scene-web. Here you start at 1, go through at least 2 other scenes and then get to the conclusion at 6. ____2‐‐‐>3 ...../|\..../|\ 1<..|...X..|.6 .....\|/...\|/ ___4‐‐‐>5 It does mean some scenes may not...

Yeah, they got collected into hardcover books which are now on drivethru for $4/book with 24 adventures in each. They made a half-hearted attempt to turn them into a adventure paths but it's so half hearted they didn't even organize them in a level-based order or include a flow chart of the...

I'm a fan of collections of adventures, like the old AEG mini modules thqt got wrapped into volumes of 16 or so. Each one was "ok" but the plus side is they each have a decent kernel of a story that can be built on by a GM. They were good jump off points and the lack of strict connective...

Wait, is it December already?
