Iron DM 2025 FitzTheRuke’s Judgement for Round Two, Match One: AustinHolm vs Humble Minion. Following the Rules Both @AustinHolm’s So Real It Burns (henceforth “Burns”) and @humble minion’s Forgotten Meat (“Meat”) came in on time and under word-limit, cutting it close on one or the other...

Yeah, I was describing the scene to my wife this morning - flailing about with a polearm might have a good chance of hitting someone, but really, in a crowd in the dark, while your target is being carried or dragged? Seems tricky.

Team Lake The Lake Team had completed their bargain with Guldred the Outcast, but what then? It appeared to Shade-9's calculations that none of the Lizardfolk (perhaps not even Guldred himself) were happy with the idea that the small, weak, former outcast, would become their leader just because...

Valendra made the Concentration Save, in case anyone wonders.

TEAM CAVES Encounter: Dig-Site Time: ~17:35 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round Six

Team Caves Merrick and Torhak's movement became sluggish from the Wizard Valendra's spell. As Shamal moved to join the fray in the downward-sloping tunnel, Torhak slowly stomped out the dropped and waning torch, plunging the area into darkness. Of all gathered, only Torhak and Urgan could see...

So... that's not quite how Mirror Image works. Here's the spell: Mirror Image. Illusion (VS) L2 Slot: 3 illusory duplicates appear in your space & move with you for 1 minute, shifting so it’s impossible to track which is you. When a creature hits you with an Attack, roll 1d6 for each remaining...

Okay, I plan to get to everyone today. Thanks to everyone who posted encouraging bumps, and to everyone who waited patiently. I hope I haven't lost anyone. I'll try to do better going forward. I still maintain: I would ultimately prefer to reach an average of two posts a week (per group). Keep...

TEAM INFILTRATE Encounter: Cliffs Between Lakes Time: ~16:10 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round Two

Team Infiltrate Stryke grabbed Copper by the elbow and they moved, just a few scant paces further south-west. The cultist came to Copper's sight (a little forward from where he'd imagined) when Terrin's Dancing Lights bobbed across the lake's surface and bunched together along the ledge. In...

Yes, that is definitely the first fix. I think, though, that I was always disappointed that they wound up overly involved while ultimately being nothing much more than magic-item-generating machines. I didn't think that Downtime was very well executed either, but it was a little more broad...

I'm interested in Bastions, but I absolutely loathe most of how they were implemented. I was honestly more excited about them when they were first announced than they probably deserved, and I find them a big letdown. There's certainly something salvageable about them, but I suspect that it would...

Canadian Thanksgiving has slowed my time to write my judgement, but you can probably expect it sometime tomorrow.

True, though I feel like reach often makes more difference than speed. At any rate, we're a little into the weeds (not that I mind that, this is really meant to be a discussion, after all).

I know that one can't always trust reenactment for historical accuracy, but I once saw a row of archers fire their bows and then cover themselves against returned fire with their bucklers. It was enough to make it believable to me that such a thing could be done. It's also my experience (25...

And firing a bow?

Right. The game is weirdly reluctant to allow, say, a Die-Up of damage (say, a 1d8 to a 1d10) but then suddenly happy to give out an item that does a bonus 2d6 on EVERY ATTACK.

There is. I can't quite articulate why I don't like them much - it might be that they are just too darn expensive to bother with for much of the games that I play. They are also more complicated than I would like for what I see as little gain, though I may have to "suck it up" as this project...
