Took my first pill at 7:30am. Let's see how we do... Crown of the Pumpkin King Wondrous Item, Legendary (Requires Attunement) While this pitted and soot-stained iron crown was built to be worn on the head, there are no humanoids such a crown would fit. Instead of resting comfortably on the top...

Notes for tomorrow in the hopes I can get to sleep, tonight: The Pumpkin King's Arsenal 1) Seedling Bomb. Explosive that spreads seeds that grow into tiny pumpkin-gremlins that hinder enemies. 2) Sceptre of the Pumpkin King. Flaming Maul with Fear effects. 3) Crown of the King. Summon a patch...

So. FINALLY have my pills. (Had to drive to a different town to get them) Too late to take one without being up all night. So tomorrow morning? We'll see how they work.

Prescription secured... tomorrow we pick up the Adderall. Apparently it's better for adults than Ritalin is.

5e D&D! Though it'll work fine for most systems since it's gonna be some magic items.

If it was about Snarf it'd be more like: ASI: +2 Con, +1 Charisma. Convincing enough, but with the stamina to type for 48 hours straight on your newest essay. Size: Irrelevant. Why would you ever ask someone something so personal? Speed: 92wpm Darkvision: 3ft. For seeing your keyboard at 3am...

1-yard hexes would be SO sexy as a map scaling now that you mention it... Most d4 weapons would be "Melee" where you have to be right next to someone. Swords and Battleaxes and the link with 4 feet or so of reach allows you to hit someone two hexes away. Polearms allow you to fight at two to...

12 hours left, no votes in the last 35 hours... I'm definitely thinking Magic Items are the winning option, here! I'm thinking of two themes that I'd like to get opinions on... one of them @Snarf Zagyg will probably like: 1) Monk Magical Gear Monks really get the short end of the stick on...

That's part of it, sure. But also the idea that you -can't- threaten someone 5ft away with a dagger. 'Cause it flattens the idea of reach pretty heavily. In a fight between a guy armed with a knife and a guy armed with a sword, all other aspects being equal, guy with the sword is gonna kill the...

There is a reason knights and soldiers carried swords. And it wasn't because they were the primary weapon of the battlefield. Once someone got too close in for a hafted weapon, you dropped it and swapped for something useful in closer quarters. Shock of shocks. It's almost like I'm not...

Sure. And 3e had Polearms unable to attack the square next to you. It's a whole thing where different editions do things differently. S'why I said I kinda like the idea rather than "This needs to be in 6e!!!" I just think it'd be a more reasonable general rule for realistic reach of weapons...

One thing I -kinda- like about Daggerheart is the ranges. Melee range is 1-3ft. You're practically grappling levels of close. This is the range of stabbing someone with a dagger. Very close is 5-10ft away from your target. Then you get close at 10-30, far at 30-100, and very far out to 300ft...

The Rapier and Small Sword, 1460-1820 by A.V.B. Norman. Published in 1979. A.V.B. Norman was the Master of the Armouries in the Tower of London where lots of weapons and manuscripts on fighting styles are stored and did his research over the course of a decade before releasing the book. It's...

It's from frustration more than anything. Academia says there's been Rapiers since the 1460s. People who spend their entire lives studying weapons and armor in order to seek one of the most prestigious postings in the "Knows a lot about swords" category of careers have stated as such. Hell...

Granted. At the time I think it was East Francia? It's also worth noting that there's a fairly famous book made up of over a decade of research titled "The Rapier and the Smallsword: 1460-1820" by Alexander Vesey Bethune Norman (A.V.B. Norman) the former Master of the Armouries at the Tower of...

Okay. How about "Rapier, Circa 1490" from the Met, instead? https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/22366 A rapier from the 15th century, directly. Oh, look. The Metropolitan Museum of Art outright states that they were developed in the late 15th century. Or 1400s. GASP. Here's...
