Well you don’t roll % dice for thieves skills any more!

The section in copying a spells into the wizards spell book doesn’t specify wizard because it’s in the wizard section and only wizards have spellbooks. It doesn’t need to specific anything else because it’s a description of a rule for wizards. When it comes to multi-classing you might have a...

Not technically true either. You can’t prepare a spell just because you have slots for it.

There is a really good trilogy about them, Evereska and Myth Drannor. The Summoning, The Siege and The Sorcerer. It’s got some pretty epic moments. One of the best series in the FR. Worth a read or listen I think.

It did move, as described in the awful 3e era Computer game, the adventure book and novel. It was pretty dire.

Why? Why is the option for progression bad? You can still bounce from one career to Judicial Champion if that’s what you want provided it makes sense in the game. No one is stopping you playing that way if you want. It’s explicitly set out in the rules. I much prefer it to the very arbitrary...

I thought it was a really interesting chat delivered in a really nice conversational style. I was definitely surprised that Mike only adds 70% damage when estimating the extra damage from something being AOE. That feels extraordinarily low.

It is absolutely a thing in BG3 - a very common one. It’s probably been misunderstood from there as many BG3 players in forums seem to think it’s a true translation of the rules. Absolutely not in 5e 2024 as has been mentioned. Copying a spell requires you to be be able to prepare the spells...

That’s not quite true because unless they are on their own or every foe fails the save they can be brought round very quickly. Not only that if you want to then attack them they are then back in room. So it’s not quite as simple as that.

Dagger Dale has got a real Sherwood Forest theme going on. With the Zhentarim backed constable in the town of Dagger Falls and Randal Morn’s freedom fighters out in the forests. There is a great little trilogy set during the conflict.

Game has changed a lot since then though. Including most of the things the Cap had beef with. Hence the need for an updated core I guess.

Volos guide book is pretty detailed

More independent minded. No city states large villages and towns all autonomous. Largely agrarian. Everyone defends their lands. The temperaments of the various dales varies somewhat. The chafe under direct rule.

Looks like Pool of Radiance? What location/Part of the game is that?

That link doesn’t work for me but this is from Lost Empires of Faerun. Not all have them but they can exist. IIRC from Pool of Radiance there is a gem or a number of gems that act as control mechanisms for Myth Drannors mythall. But that was a pretty lousy product linked to the computer game.

It’s parts of the wrecked city of shade. Has the same shapes and design aesthetic as Ythryn The mythal isn’t a physical entity it’s an invisible bubble of magic.

Had a good read, by screenshotting the video. I’m sure others can do it better but it was enough to get a good glimpse. Myth Drannor restored to its former ruined glory: That section hits all the 2ed buttons - the Onnaglym, broken malfunctioning mythal, temple of moonbow, castle cormanthor...

The cult of the Dragon have always had a big presence in the Dales. I would be surprised if there wasn’t a reference.
