Yes, but the HOW is the rub here: the mechanism for allowing people within a set is subjective. They may objectively be in the set or out of the set. But getting into the set can be blocked by making them feel like they can't be in the set, because enough people in the set are going to make...

Charlaquin answered this with a more eloquent question than I would have. I think usually there's a third option that isn't being considered – the old equality/equity/justice parable about the ball game and the box to see over the picket fence etc. You'd need to do something if you want to...

The hypothetical white room scenario isn't a meaningful issue. Rituals are a utility power resource that Wizards have and Sorcerers essentially don't have because of their tighter spell choices, both in their spell list and their prepared spells. Sorcerers still don't have the versatility of...

This. Combine that with that Science is not about one person knowing "facts" but rather the difficult and time-consuming process of peer review and debate in the search of truth, throwing out knowledge that doesn't hold up under water, and recognising false dichotomies we've set up due to our...

A Kender.

Here's hoping that success will lead to a Switch Port, or at least a Switch 2 Port. As it stands it's the only BG game I haven't played, and yet the one I want to play the most.

I love the Xeno series games, and killing god is a baked in from the very first title in 1998. :) It's a good reference.

Low Magic in fantasy is that magic is rare and powerful and mysterious, not that the users of it aren't powerful.

Clearly, Bardic Magic is not Science. Arthur C. Clarke was generalizing magic as a Wizard or Artificer approaches it. That's Intelligence Casters. Charisma Casters don't need to learn physics problems. They're self-taught. Some intelligence is needed, but the Charisma also reflects their...

A problem here is that by trying to apply an objectivist perspective to social sciences, we fail to incorporate our own biases because we think we're outside observers of the system rather than a variable dependent on the same system that we are trying to observe. The technicality of...

The evidence: I asked the question about the rules because I LIKE disease rules, both as a player and as a DM. Just like how I like it when I have to deal with the issue in a game like The Elder Scrolls. It's an interesting plot wrinkle that the characters now have to deal with. In addition, I...

King David of the Bible. Pharaohs and their champions like Ramses I in his earlier career. Ishtar in Red River (magic warrior queen literally believed to be the queen goddess made flesh). Sacred Samurai. Exorcists. Sun Wukong / Son Goku, entasked by the Buddha to use his magical powers to...

I'd reboot Greyhawk by finding a place to put Nentir Vale and Nerath in it. ;D

I always preorder the Alt covers from my FLGS.

Wizards can swap out cantrips for other cantrips on their list every long rest. Though not from their spellbook, from their spell list.

MtG no longer limits to just 2 creature types (Race/Class) maximum - ever since the 2022 typal update when phyrexian can be added in front of 2 other creature types, it's really just creature type, but can mean their job or their heritage. So I guess in that case, Creature Type would count? Of...

They can't afford to have the flexibility of spells prepared the same way the Wizard does, though. They just don't have the quantity of spells to prepare for as many situations as the Wizard can. With all the classes providing short rest benefits now, expect the 5MWD problem to largely...

To answer the OP's question seriously, I think it would be interesting to consider thari- err, the EEE, as actual intelligence behind the Dragon of Tyr, and to make all of Dark Sun his dead and dying world.

Deva was just made for 4e because someone decided they had had enough of the Arse jokes about Aasimar and wanted them playable without people snickering. It's the same player species.

25, but that's just preparing from the spellbook. Wizards can also cast any of the spells in their spellbook as rituals regardless of preparation. And they can swap out a prepared spell each short rest. Wizards gain 2 spells for their spellbook every level, and can also scribe additional spells...
