I don't think so. It's referring to the training in Heavy Armor that is usual for Chainmail or Medium Armor that is usual for a Chain Shirt, but it's telling you that it grants you the training required to wear it.

The maps you're talking about positively are extremely popular and, at least for a time, sold very well for decent coin in the aftermarket. I've never understood why WotC didn't make more of them. The ones that you're speaking of negatively, like the ones sold for Pathfinder, have the benefit...

He's ta He's tall enough to reach up and close it after everyone is through and if he has oil, he can just slosh it on. But if you want to rig it to dump oil on whoever opens it or something, I guess it would probably be a dc15 DEX Tinker or Thieves' Tools thing.

I'm not sure I understand. If you're just going to spill oil over the grate after it's closed, there's no roll, you can just do it (with your Action), but if you want it to have some kind of mechanical trigger (like lighting when someone opens it, or dumping oil on them), I think it depends on...

Grumble.

A lot of these arguments make a few common mistakes (often both sides of the argument). For example: Just because powerful bows aimed well could penetrate heavy armor doesn't mean that you could rely on them to consistently do so. Similarly, just because you could March around in plate...

Shamal's Hold Person is the first action of the fight, yes, but it was pretty close to inevitable. Your ruse wouldn't hold up to much scrutiny, in particular because I doubt that you would be able to answer too many questions. Besides, Shamal has a symbol of Bhaal right there on his forehead...

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

Team Caves Shamal approached the mercenary guard, and something seemed to come over him. The Symbol of Bhaal on his forehead glowed red, and his words came out with a snarl. The mercenary took one step back on his heel and then froze in place, unnaturally. Shamal had come high enough in the...

Frankly, no. But that's not the point. MY motives? It's not my fault that I had to go back and forth with you when I simply asked for a point of reference! Not every 1:10 scale means the same thing. It's also increasingly pointless to have as many gradients as TEN if there's no information as...

I agree. What's the point, then?

I agree with you regarding comparing one like thing to another - for example, as I Comic Guy, I am constantly asked who my favorite character is. I don't have one. I like different ones for different reasons. My above point was more along the lines of: What is a 10? A 9? An 8? What do they mean?

Stratus stopped at the door and looked around, straining his ears to hear the footfalls of the woman over the sound of thumping from inside the sarcophagus. Sure, I'll use my action to Search instead of dash. Got an 11 Perception. Not great.

I once had a DM insist that it was "impossible" to climb a ladder with a shield equipped. It got to the point in our argument, that I literally got out a ladder and a "garbage-can lid" and ran up the ladder (without using the other hand either) to prove my side. People can do quite crazy things...

It always frustrates me when TTRPGs (and D&D in particular) will always let magic do virtually anything, but "mundane" skill usually doesn't let you even do the things that actual real-world humans can do in real life. And yet, OTOH, occasionally forces them to do things that are ridiculously...

No kidding. I have long wished that there weren't so many "sly winks" in games like D&D, where you're pretty sure you know what they intend with a rule, but it's very vague even so. Just tell us what you want it to be! We would still be able to change or ignore it, after all!

"We don't have time for any of this!" declared Stratus in frustration. Then to the dwarf, "Stay down and you won't have to end up like your unfortunate friend! I say again: We are not here for you!" "Leave him. Let's go." he said to the others, referring to the dwarf. But he didn't trust what...

I appreciate what you're saying here, but @Hriston has a point. Your last action declaration was that you would "close the grate", but at the time it hadn't been opened yet. I chose, like I generally try to, to go with your intent as best I can, so I had Stryke open it. From my perspective...

Sure! (Rolls d10+2)... Eleven!
