What exactly would we need a specific rule for ability score reductions for? There isn't any rule for what happens when ability scores increase either, you just use the new value in all calculations from then on.

So moderately less intelligent than the average internet user ;)

Dragonbait was a special case, as his species was essentially the "humans" of his homeworld. The fact that he could be a paladin was used to drive in that the Saurials were something unique, and not just another kind of demi-human. Otherwise, one might be forgiven for mistaking Saurials for...

The rules are clear: This is the only mention of prerequisites, so they only matter when you want to take the first level in a new class.

That's just a normal day in Warhammer 40K ;)

This is complete nonsense. D&D Beyond got so many cancellations that the entire site crashed. Exactly what the economic impact was remains open to debate, but they felt it, for sure.

I suspect that most 5e players barely know who ultimately owns the D&D brand, much less care about it. So I doubt there would be any immediate effect on the playerbase, but over time Musk might mismanage the game and make people lose interest because of poor quality products. Sadly, given D&D's...

I'd track the duration of the effects completely separately. The character remains frightened until he's no longer subject to any effect that causes it.

Just keep in mind that you are only speaking for yourself when you talk about your feelings, and not every writer. Not all of us are luddites, many embrace these new tools for creativity.

At least half of all video game projects are cancelled before the public ever hears about them. You don't want to announce a game until you're close to certain that it's actually coming out. Software projects are much harder to plan than linear media like books and card decks. As long as you...

I have written modules for convention play, and I am not insulted by my writing being compared with AI generated text. I will keep writing, and keep generating text, and keep being creative!

I have run several published campaigns with good results. Have you ever used AI content as a DM or are you just making assumptions? What is the actual difference between using published content and generated content?

How is that different from a DM using a published campaign? Are they also by definition "never creative"?

I dunno, you could probably use some kind of algorithm to figure out what art your target market will enjoy based on their aggregated social media history.

Transformers teaches us that AI can be both good and bad, but always powerful.

I wonder if Gygax was doing what we'd today call "trolling"; writing something deliberately provocative to get a reaction from people. If so, then going by the lenght of this thread and the other bruhaha on the net, he's being a pretty successful troll even from the grave. CR 18 Greater Undead...

Why not? It would be free money for Larian.

I'm not so sure about that last part. The added work turned what was a pretty generic representation of Jesus into a world-famous painting and tourist attraction that has generated tens of thousands of euros in revenue for the local community. Anyway, today one could have used an AI model with...

My speculation: It's Icewind Dale 3, built on the BG3 engine licenced by WotC. If Icewind Dale 3 is successfull, the team will move on to make BG4 with the experience they have gained.

Only "much they think they can crush out of you" matters. The actual cost of production only matters when there's multiple suppliers of a product, and I have to option to buy from the supplier who offers the lowest price, ie. the one who accepts the lowest margins. In a competitive market, the...
