One of the other common things discussed in how economies get wrecked by PCs is through various magics. One of the classics....Fabricate. The wizard becomes 7th level, they can now create objects that once took weeks of labor in 10 minutes. No mundane craftsman can compete, and at face value...

Alright so the first hurdle I mentioned is above, lets go to the next step. Lets assume that we have built a decent economic model for a small city. Prices are reasonable for what such a city needs to conduct its business. Now we insert a group of 5th-6th level adventurers. Not crazy high...

actually +1 weapons and armor are very magical, its +2/+3 weapons that are less so. With that +1, you weapons that are immune to the normal wear and tear or weapons, can cut through any resistant materials, and can resize to fit the user! The +2/+3 bonus on top really doesn't do all that much...

yep I missed it, thank you very much.

I was looking over some of the trap rules in 2024: Traps | D&D 2024 | Roll20 Compendium and was reading over all the example traps, when something hit me. For every trap, it mentions how to find them....but disabling is automatic. Aka once you figure out the trap, there is no real "disable...

I do agree with this point, I think in practice the notion of using two rolls to hammer out the scene just feels clunky, so I think the two skills often share significant overlap and it often boils down to which skill DM or player prefers. The flavor text may differ between the two skills, but...

The problem at a fundamental level.... is Continual Flame. Or put another way, the issue is less about the accumulation of coin than it is the accumulation of wealth. In actual medieval societies, the vast majority of things are degradable. The servants...die. Livestock....die. Your...

I still say that in terms of the suave, sophisticated Bond...its Brosnan all the way. He's got the look of a guy that can "cool" his way through any situation. But a number of other bonds do the action part a lot better, Craig being the most recent one.

Just noting that 5+ level, even just a break on a 1 means a fighter will be breaking a weapon every 3-4 fights on average. So on a typical adventuring day, a fighter would expect to lose 1-2 weapons to breakage.

One thing that is interesting about BK in these end confrontations. While he is clearly still scared at least at a primal level....he is also excited and intrigued at the same time. I think there is a part of him that is just so terribly bored by life, that this life and death situation is the...

I do agree that this particular xenomorph is like a hero xenomorph. Its one thing for the things to take out a squad when they have surprise and are in tight spaces and the like. But when its an open room and the thing kills 3 fully armed and aware guards like its nothing, its like come on they...

Many creatures (including us) have mental programming that comes from our genetics. Our natural "instincts" are not all taught, some of them are straight up embedded in our code. Considering we still have a lot to learn about the genetic code, the idea of personality aspects coming from a...

how do inertial dampeners throw out the laws of physics? It is still Science "Fiction"

In my head cannon, transmuter's are the rarest of wizard specialists. Not because they are the least taught....but because they are hunted for their precious stones!

It has all the capabilities of a normal familiar, which is easily one of the best features in the game in the hands of a creative player. I don't think it needs more buffs on top.

One small rules thing on the necromancer they may want to tighten up. The Undead Thralls: Undead Fortitude ability. You get the bonuses off of the spell slot used....but you also get a +1 effective spell level with the ability overall. By the book, since it says the spell slot you should use...

Does 2024 ever specify what happens to a character that doesn't sleep (aka long rest) for an extended period?

honestly....I'm not seeing that much improvement on the arcane archer. The arcane shot options still seem terribly balanced. Magical ammunition is one solid effect (the darkness) combined with two super niche effects....but that one is decent enough. Arcane Burst is nothing for a 15th level...

yeah its cool we have this nice span of moralities among the kids. Slightly is really guilt driven over his decisions. Wendy actually has a pretty cold streak, and seems aware of her actions but continues to kill. Nibs has basically a psychotic break and isn't in full touch with reality. (side...

one of the key takeaways from the interview that I had forgotten about, was that Salvo was in the original vision of the future. That when she died in the present it concretely showed that Gail's vision of the future is not absolute and is malleable. And so...it suggests that Gail's vision of...
