My main question with Lanfaey was....what was her plan with the "fake Coracan?" I mean....the plan never had a chance of working. The second Rand flexes that dragon magic everyone is going to know he's the one. My thoughts are either: 1) Lanfaey wants to make Rand channel as much as possible...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation That is exactly how it works. If I take off in a super fast spaceship, my clock slows down compared to a clock on earth. But looked at it from the ships point of view, Earth's clock speeds up. So 1 year on the spaceship could be 100 years on earth.

The 4e rules are very good imo. Covers all the normal stuff such as: 1) What happens if there are multiple people? 2) What happens if I move out of cover? 3) If I move out of cover and attack what happens? 4) Can I move quickly or run and remain hidden? 5) Is there a penalty if I'm far away...

Talking about intergalactic distances....we all know light speed doesn't cut it, and going faster than light speed is not possible according to physics. HOWEVER, one thing that physics does allow, is for space itself to go faster than light. According to our current expanding universe theory...

Well keep in mind though, time dilation is only relative to an observer. If I send a ship out on a 120 light year mission at 99% the speed of light, to a person on the ship it still takes 120+ years to get there, aka they will all be dead or it will decedents taking over the ship. Its just if...

To the question of "Is civilization inevitable?" If we assume that intelligent life is a given on a world (certainly a bold assumption) than will that intelligent life inevitably form a civilization? First, you would have to assume a certain form of social structure. A super intelligent...

Multiple that number by another several TRILLION and you get in the ballpark. The observable universe is estimated to have 21 SEXTILLION planets. Basically take all the water on earth, and put it in eyedroppers of liquid, you could have an eyedropper for every planet. This doesn't change your...

I imagine that any alien civilization that has made it "for the long haul" probably had to do some mass genetic engineering to "breed out" any tribal and likely selfish tendencies. Aka traits that worked really well when were scratching out an existence against a brutal and hostile natural...

I go with the notions that either other civs are simply too far away for any practical interaction, or that at some point virtual technology gets sophisticated enough that we can create worlds that are more fantastical and "cool" than the same old boring rocks the universe throws at us. Aka the...

Yeah it was a huge mistake to shift Peter from "I can copy any one power at a time" to "I can just absorb all powers". You can't balance a character like that.

I would argue that any show that maintains a "good" status for several seasons wouldn't make this list, even if its ending sucked or the later seasons don't live up to the magic of the first season. If the show is still "good" even if its not great, I don't think its a candidate. compared to...

This is the crux....ultimately the Hide rules in 2024 completely failed at their job. There is incredible confusion in the player base as to how they work (honestly more than in 2014), and so everyone is just having to default to their own stab at them. This is like the 20th thread we have had...

Technically the surprise round worked in the same manner, in that you had an initiative order its just surprised characters could not go on the 1st (aka surprise round). But you were still technically placed in initiative order. That said I get your point that since they didn't act there was no...

"Extensive errata?" The PHB errata is less than a page, and about half of that is just clarifying language, its not even truly in error. for a complex multi-hundred page rules tome, that ain't so bad.

The trick is concealment uses different rules. When I’m in fog I am NOT invisible, instead, the person trying to see me is considered blind. So see invisible doesn’t negate the fog.

If anyone needs to know why Suggestion unchecked is too powerful, watch the anime Code Geass.

Yep that's the raw. The act of hiding makes you invisible, that is what hiding does. Hiding does not apply some special hidden condition (which is why so many people wish they had done so). See invisibility negates the invisibility condition....and so yes it negates hiding. Is it silly and...

See Invisible lets a person see an invisible creature as if they were visible, no more no less. So I argue at that point, the normal rules of visibility still apply. If a creature is completely behind cover, which blocks line of sight, than yeah the creature remains hidden. But if the creature...

just noting (I know its older but since we are talking errata and I just noticed) the carrion crawlers save was made con instead of dex (which makes complete sense).

I legit wonder if that was Frank just saying F it and going to commit suicide, because other than buckets of plot armor its the only reason why that plan would have had even the slightest chance of success.
