    3I/ATLAS

    I did skip a lot of the sciency parts of the video, but seem to get the Spock theory about it traveling too fast so it must be from out of the solar system and it is from an older part of the universe based on its direction, so it must be old like 7.6 billion years. I do not get the part of...

    D&D General Gaining spell slots (and other resources) during the fight

    Does it make sense to reward or give a bonus to a caster that has already spend half/most of his daily power? It seems that spells would be more powerful when the caster is at 100% and they might get weaker as the day goes along. It does sound better as a game mechanic to reward the player...

    Gaming Cons Have Changed (I'm Old)

    The local convention is about a 45 minute drive so not bad for a couple days. There is another that started a few years ago but I have not been yet and about the same drive. Not sure how far I would want to drive to go to one these days. I do notice many of the same people year after year...

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

    I was thinking that it would at least need the Forgotten Realms label on the cover of the book. But then they stuffed other settings into the world and I can see my players might go to Al-Qadim or such. My players will never find a spaceship and portals to other worlds are out as well in my...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Yes, once at my table. Then the unlimited dragon horde would eat him since he is full of cheese.

    Idea for a Game - Island of the Laughing Skull

    It looks like it would be fun for one session, but not really my tea for a second week of gaming time.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    The good news is that 2nd level goes by rather fast.

    D&D 5E (2024) Practical Build #1. Champion Fighter.

    Magic items are always hard to guess at. As the DM, I might take into account the items the players use like trident and make something for them specifically. I also tend to use the more common ones thinking that they would be the ones most commonly made into magic items. This tends to lead...

    How Do You Like Your Steak?

    I find it like eggs and that I need to order one shade more cooked that I expect to receive.

    What does a tank graveyard mean to you in your game?

    There is a military museum near me that took one out of a old river 20 years ago. I forgot if it is a German tank in Russia or more likely a Russian one in a Germain river. The coolest part of the museum is they have one of Hitler's (7) Mercedes-Benz 770 super size luxury cars.

    What does a tank graveyard mean to you in your game?

    Initially a tank graveyard means the desert where we laid waste to the Iraqi's feeble defense back in Gulf 1. I guess in my games, it means a challenge or NPC that deals with fighters in a bad way.

    D&D General Should you Multiclass?

    I find that with 5e (.5e) the subclasses do so much to fill in what multiclassing should be or was in older editions. If you want a fighter or rogue with some spellcasting- there is something for you. Same with pretty much any other combination you want. Most every time I have seen MCing is...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    I would still argue that the action being used by the PC is to cast a spell and not to make an attack. The spell allows you to make an attack as part of the action being used. If the spell was different somehow and was a free action or such that allowed you to use it while making a attack...

    D&D General Circle Magic and New Spells: Gain Mastery Over the Weave

    Looks like those spells and the idea of circle magic is more for the DM and plot reasons. There might be some high level PCs that can drop a 25,000gp gem and have a circle of casters that can spend 3rd level spells to power the circle, but I'm thinking the PCs need to stop the bad guys creating...

    D&D General One Shot Idea: The Boy George episode of A-Team, but with dwarves

    Sounds like there is a joke in there someplace.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    The PCs action for the round is being use to do what? Is it swing a sword or cast a spell? It seems to me that it is used to cast a spell. Then the sword attack is part of that action.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    I first read the title and thought, oh heck no- that is just cheese. But, I have come around reading the rest of the posts and think it is allowed. Still cheese but allowed.
