In terms of death at 0, I think it’s one of those things that when well telegraphed is a great ability at mid levels. And at high levels no telegraph needed, at that point anything goes. 5e death rules are very very forgiving, no issue with shaking it up every now and then

You mean those soelljammer academy weapons? I think they’re great. Not only does it make sense in world (an organization provides its soldiers weapons that can’t fall too much into the wrong hands). But it gives the players the chance to enjoy an over the top weapon while in the adventure, but...

I have to agree. I mean JMS will always have my eternal gratitude for B5, but honestly I haven’t really liked any of his other writing work. JMS had one brilliant show, most people get none, but I don’t think he’s the consistent talent you need for doctor who

My thing about ads is….ok I can take a few commercials….but for Pete’s sake give me different ones. I will often see the same exact ad two or even three times in the course of a streaming episode. Like come on people do you only have one sponsor?

Yeah that was my thought, that it was a quarantine procedure and they moved the other patients. Which considering live gorn might be born I could buy

I generally find the newer method is best for newer players. They often have that one idea that's bursting to the top that they want to play, and so want to find something that lets them craft that ideal as much as possible. When your a seasoned vet with a dozen characters under your...

I mean its about as confirmed as you can be without someone on the show pointing at the light and go "my god man its a Q!" You CANNOT use John De Lancie for this and it not be a Q.

I remain a big fan of SNWs, and the first two episodes were still great. That said... SNW has maintained a pretty fast pace with its plots in many episodes, and that first one finally crossed the line for me of "too fast". From the captain needing an answer and getting 3 plots at blazing...

I had to look up the synopsis as I don't remember this one very well. But I don't see the Cole guy (the main character in the first one). Also I think Kano got killed in the first one (or Sonya stole his arcana power or something), but looks like he's back in this one? hehe might have to...

and yeah I completely understand that. That is my classic counter to the "the dm can always add in another dragon". Yes we can....if we don't want to maintain the believability of our world. Nothing wrong with a game where the world is secondary to the adventure and you just bring out what you...

To your first paragraph....my players are slow. Yes I have to remind them all the time what statuses are on monsters. Hell they have to doublecheck their DCs all the time. It is fair that once a fighter prones a target he should at least not have to remember saving throws, so that's a good...

This is addressed pretty directly in 5e's directive. The goal from the start was to reduce the scaling of levels and make monsters both higher and lower CR than the party more of a threat. It is why many of the "you need to be this cool to engage this mechanic" type attributes were removed from...

your speaking to the choir (I am the DM). All I can tell you that I had two different groups have the same reaction to the 3 attack gladiator. So clearly there is something about the 3 attacks that connects them to "high level powerful fighter"

100% agree. I think these str values are too PC centric, lots of npcs don't have anywhere near the stats that a PC routinely has.

It was the 3 spear attacks straight up that caused the reaction.

Again just wanted to stress. gladiators are actually not high damage for their CR, in fact they are bottom of the normal damage range for a CR5.

is it a brazen choice to put the finale on new year's eve...or is it a commentary that no one party's on NYE anymore?

1) Get strength or like a monk that can use dex for grapple 2) Take athletics proficiency through class, background, feat, whatever. and done. now sure you can go for expertise to really lock in but you really don't have to. Even that gives you a very solid grapple against a lot of opponents.

I also think Weapon Mastery tried to fill a niche that honestly was already well handled by the Grapple rules. 2014 grappling is awesome. you can do all sorts of control with it. 1) Knock a person back. 2) Hold them in place 3) Move them to where you want them. 4) REALLY hold them in place...

first meghan did 106 million with a budget of 12 million. second meghan so far is 37 million on a budget of 25 million....so significantly worse. When you throw in the classic "double the budget because of advertising" rule of thumb, it might have even lost money.
