Sure. If you're a rogue of 5th level or higher you just get out. Unless the ropes were tied by a rogue of similar level, then the check would be necessary.

At baseline it's tropical. There is a semi-permanent violent lightning storm 60% of the year. The constant storm moves from over the lake to the far side from the mountains. Hot wet air comes in from the Equitorial current and collides from dry cold air from the Andes. I think, in the summer...

Sure there are! We just couldn't see them in 1898. :)

It's just Justin being odd, and, I believe, him trying to impress others who really don't care. I'm pretty sure he doesn't pick up on that. He certainly doesn't pick up that some Masons might be offended by his actions.

Look up Catatumbo lightning. It is a lake and area in Venezuela that because of the mountain chain's proximity and orientation to the Equitorial current, it has powerful lighting storms approximately 265 days out of the year.

Freemasonry has a strong track record of supporting public schools. So, a private "Masonic" school would be an odd duck. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it would be strange. Nothing preventing a Mason from utilizing a private school, however. There are also many Masons who are not Christian.

Why would they be subterranean? To hide?

We have heard your confession. Be cleansed of sin and restored to grace. Go forth and sin no more.

I'm not sure "nihilism" is the right word. The die rolls have meaning, just perhaps not what you (pemerton) commonly have instilled in them. This is incorrect. For the LN, a Lawful and ordered society bring purpose to life. One could suppose that order and purpose would be in themselves...

1) Path of the Anvil- The gish is selective about the foes that a specific weapon is used against. They may carry two or three weapons as the main weapon is saved for special foes that grant the most power to the blade. More of their power is focused on improving their weapon of choice...

@Old Fezziwig After reading through the 1e PHB (pg 33-34) and DMG (pg 23-24), I find I concur. Gygax intended that honesty, although not necessarily complete and total honesty, was a tool of Good and lying and deception were tools of Evil. Chaotics, specifically Chaotic Neutrals, could...

Not you, pemerton. And I'm going to look up the other alignments in the stated tome, the 1e DMG, specifically chaotic good and chaotic neutral, and see what they state about lying, deception, and similar activities. I hope I shan't keep you waiting overlong.

Yes. It might be better to think of it as theurge (cleric) vs. occultist (wizard) vs. mesmerist (sorcerer).

Yes. I saw it.

I call shenanigans, at least until I read my DMG at home.

Chaotic Neutrals don't lie? Really?

Thinking of possible class examples from the time period. Artificer - Philo Farnsworth, Nikoli Tesla Barbarian - Hell-Cat Maggie, William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting [Hard to say] Bard - Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, Nellie Bly, William Walker Cleric - Saint Damien of Molokai [Tough one] Druid -...

I think it means different things, with some connection. Lawful Good is NOT Law + Good, rather it is its own thing distinct from the other eight alignments. It is not merely an amalgamation of Neutral Good and Lawful Neutral. But I'm an odd duck it seems. This is a tangent of a tangent, however.

I find it interesting that people assumed the gods are involved at all. It never seemed that way to me. There was a time when the party wanted to go on an assassination run for an evil warlord and were shocked when I, playing a paladin, was up for it. "But you're honorable!" "Yes, I am. And...

1d6+1 damage per 10 ft. One point of that goes to Health, which are hit points that are lost after Grit (regular hp) are lost. Health is 6 + Con bonus. 0 Health = dead /dying. Fall far enough, it doesn't matter what you roll.
