This is an older post but worth saying that This is circular logic. You’re saying they’re different because one can be used to with action surge and the other can’t. But the only reason it can be used with action surge is because you’re saying they’re different. You haven’t actually identified...

I’m just perplexed by @ECMO3 ’s insistence that doing something as a ready action changes its fundamental nature and removes the restraints that normally apply to that action. Ready is just a way of delaying something. It shouldn’t let you work around something that isn’t otherwise possible. It...

Honestly it’s just great world-building and creativity. Love the unreliable narrator stuff. Keep going with this. You’ll definitely get clicks from me.

Maybe, but I think the series established quite early on that the other characters are just as important. I started a re-watch in the last fortnight and just finished series 1. Geralt spends most of the last three episodes locked up or unconscious on the back of a wagon. Most of episode 2 is...

Absolutely. That was kinda the point of my first question really. Why would people assume that Readying an action would fundamentally change the nature of what you were doing. When all that happens is it takes effect a few seconds later. At first I thought it was being used to get around the...

Maybe a re-watch will help. Sometimes things improve because expectations are tempered.

I disagree. The Ready action specifies that you cast the spell on your turn at the time of taking the Ready action. You then just delay the release of the spell. The reaction is simply to delay the result. The spell slot is expended at the point of casting the spell. The two slotted spell rule...

It sounds like a really strange behaviour to reward.

Many cool things in series 3 that still make it worth watching. The Thanned Coup in particular. Seeing Tissaia cast Alzur’s Thunderbolt was pretty boss. I don’t get the criticism of Geralt not getting enough screen time. The story has always been Ciri’s as well. Books and games. Looking...

Why would you think that readying an action to cast a spell would be fundamentally different to casting the spell? Surely the only difference is when it takes effect?

1. Why It’s a high magic setting that has really well established setting structures - areas, gods, magic system, organisations. These are well detailed and supported, with tons of ideas for inspiration. 2. How do you approach the setting (everything is in, stick to one edition, gray box only...

For what it’s worth, I really got into Sea of Thieves at the first half of this year. The combat is ferocious, particularly if you’re in a two man sloop.

Wow I didn’t realize they weren’t. That is some cunning stuff right there.

On a side note, I think the bastion rules would be an awesome way to run a pirate ship long term. Use bastion orders to cover things like shoreleave, making repairs, pirating the seas and abstract all that stuff. Use random events to cover things like freak weather, damage to the ship...

8,000 pages of reading. I see you have mentioned this before in other posts. You’re obviously very proud of it. There are plenty of us who have consumed the wide range of fiction, read up on the history and immersed ourselves in the genre beyond Disney. I never counted the pages though. We still...

Premade campaigns. My ideal is a mashup of multiple similarly themed campaigns to give more options and paths to explore. If d rather focus on bringing an existing world to life rather than coming up with the details or winging it.

You mean it isn’t a requirement of a long rest for a character to have rumpy pumpy with at least one other character for it to restore Hp and abilities?

I don’t know what do you mean by random difficulty curve? Regarding ranges it is assumed that the pirates range outside of the shackles, and if they want to go pirate then they tackle merchant ships. Your own ship is a Rahadoumi merchantman taking by the Wormwood in the first ship combat. That...
