their point (which is true) is that dependent on the scenario you get into one of two states with a given modron: 1) The modron or party lands all attacks and makes all saves. 2) The modron or party fails all attack and fails all saves. So while most combats each round tends to be a mix of...

A while ago, a did a take on what I considered "True Slaad", aka an enemy that is actually chaotic enough to represent the described paragons of chaos: D&D 5E - 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium I have also run an altered version of Modron. While I generally like the modron, they still are not...

So VII is dealing with the same problem the last two civs have....its basically only half baked on release. Effectively we will need 2-3 DLCs before the polish is added and the game can actually be compared to its predecessors and it would truely worth looking how it ranks on this list, but its...

Yeah I think this was one of the biggest misses of the movie. Now lets be honest, Marvel has become notorious for cookie cutter villains, but at least the villains are normally powerful...they are just bland and one note. But when your super power is hyper intelligence....and your plot is...

Part of the answer here depends on whether you envision ever using the particular world/characters again for a next campaign, as if you do the epilogue needs to be more "subdued" than if you aren't. I would start with asking the players, "so where would you want character X to wind up?" and...

Oh wow, so they took the OG character and turned him into a traitor? I wonder how the OG watchers of the tv show felt about that one.

TLDR: If you haven't read Dungeon Crawler Carl..... read Dungeon Crawler Carl! (and actually even better....listen to the audiobook). I recently completed book 7 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and it has very quickly become one of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi series. And so here are some...

Other problem is, who is going to do the stunts like Tom Cruise does? Part of the crazy appeal of the MI series if your like "holy crap Tom Cruise is ACTUALLY do that thing on screen, its not fake, he's literally hanging on to that airplane!" Without that, loses a lot of its appeal.

Rereading Nystul's Magic Aura after a while I had forgotten just how incredibly powerful it is. It is no illusionary trick, it actually allows you to change your type for spell interactions. Remove your humanoid type and gain immunity to spells like charm person. Make your undead pet capable of...

SPOILERS FOR the new MI movie. My overall thoughts. Awesome new action scenes, in a day of big CGI battles, just watching Tom Cruise do Tom Cruise things in high action packed scenes is great, and the scenes do not disappoint. It also did a cool job of referencing the older movies to tie...

To clarify for everyone. I am referring to the monster ability "Change Shape", not the shapechange spell. I appreciate the discussion so far though:)

So if a fiend uses change shape to (the monster ability, not the spell shapechange) become a humanoid. Are they still a fiend for all purposes (including a Paladin's divine sense) or do they become a humanoid type?

Its true, but if your incentive system encourages player to do things that are directly against the spirit of the system you are trying to make....that might mean you have a poor incentive system. That's remains my biggest concern with the game. It tries to set itself as this freeflow narrative...

I think my biggest curiosity is how players and DMs find the hope "metacurrency". The notion that your die rolls give you your actual player resources feels very foreign as a mostly dnd player. My biggest worry is that players will constantly try to game the system by finding ways to get in...

No I was directly addressing your point, because I used to think the same as you about the barbarian when I read through it. I also thought it seemed generic, not offering anything that was particularly interesting and fun. And yet my experience has shown the class transcends the features on...

I just want to take a moment to note that the Barbarian is probably one of the best dnd classes designed in terms of making people feel like a Barbarian. Honestly when I looked at the class, I was like "meh...kind of a dud". And yet time and time again I have watched people play a barbarian in...

eh that's like saying the next marvel movie focuses on one comic gets booed because they didn't do "this other comic". You can't do every single story in one movie. And that was Marvel's entire pitch for a while, offering different types of storeis in the super hero drama. Spy Stories - CA2...

Or....just one series that focuses on it. I mean the number of stories you could tell during that time is unreal, its a gold mine of narrative concepts.

I am not a big psion guy myself, I could take it or leave it. But for me, you basically have two choices with the Psion: 1) As a subclass of an existing spellcaster 2) As its own class. And if its going to be its own class compared to the numerous other casters we have, I would prefer that it...

Taking a look at the class, I think a lot of people will like it just for the at-will removal of verbal and material components. (I still can't believe to this day the sorc requires material components on their spells!). For that alone some people will like it. Its kind of like a reverse...
