    D&D 5E (2014) So 5 Intelligence Huh

    Self-awareness is, after all, the first step towards self-improvement. Anyways, again, I think it is important to remember that one should hopefully be assuming the players at the table are all acting in good faith. Continuing to argue about "bad faith declarations" is a pointless exercise...

    Sell me on the Warlock

    Are you sure all rangers need to take hunter's mark to be "balanced" (whatever you intended that word to even mean)?

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5 Intelligence Huh

    Are you saying you've never met anyone who tries to act smarter than they really are? I know I have. All the time. Seems all too common even here on ENWorld... ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5 Intelligence Huh

    But what is the player doing to "act like Sherlock Holmes"? Can a lower intelligence individual try to emulate and imitate a smarter individual he's met? Because it seems like your issue is that the 5 Int PC is roleplaying like a smarter person. Considering the fact that I've seen many actors...

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5 Intelligence Huh

    Regardless of how iserith may decide to resolve such a declaration in his game, I would like to point out that playing in bad faith is its own issue. And that may be part of the confusion here. You seem to be taking a stance that a player is acting in bad faith. Again, not speaking for him, but...

    D&D comes to Middle Earth (from Cubicle 7)

    Are you serious?

    Was Gandalf Just A 5th Level Magic User?

    Depends. City of what (mechanically speaking)? And which system/edition matters greatly as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) When -5/+10 starts becoming Very Reliable?

    Are you sure? Perhaps if you assumed the two theoretical feats being compared offered the same exact feature/benefit/bonus, regardless of one being usable more than the other. Would not the feat less often useful likely offer more in exchange for the lack of frequency/access? Then what? How...

    What the #%*+ are Forum XP?!

    A laugh still counts as an 'XP'. So when you laugh derisively at someone, you are still, in a sense, rewarding them. So there's that for what it's worth.

    D&D comes to Middle Earth (from Cubicle 7)

    That being the case, I'd find it odd not to put some faith into a company that has thus far given you nothing but confidence in their work.

    D&D comes to Middle Earth (from Cubicle 7)

    <Double post> Is it me, or is this happening a lot around here? Feels like I'm seeing more of these than usual from others lately.

    D&D comes to Middle Earth (from Cubicle 7)

    Agreed! And with that new warlord class, I expect to see most of the iconic character write-ups having at least some multiclassing into it... What?!?

    What the #%*+ are Forum XP?!

    I dunno. Last time I tried that I got kicked out of the group. The pastor running our D&D game at the time, in our local church's basement, wasn't too keen on my attempts at bribery...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why does no one play Goliath?

    Now I just *gotta* play one! Like one with goggles of the night and a buncha knives... Thanks for that!

    Sell me on the Warlock

    Your first sentence seems at odd with the rest. It's like you admit to the fact that the cantrips would still not be "must haves", but then try to muddy it for some reason. Perhaps more people think its "almost too good" because they too are mistaken as to what the spell actually does? Just a...

    Have you made any other predictions that haven't (yet) come true, Nostradamus?

    D&D 5E (2014) Minor Illusion...can it be cast over other objects?

    IMO, the whole coin thing seems an odd, niche thing to fixate on when there are so many more interesting things to use the spell to do. It can be up to a 5'x5'x5' illusion. Like... What about the gnome who uses it to stand hidden inside an illusion of a thick bush or small boulder? Can the...

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5 Intelligence Huh

    Hmmm. So how "should" one play a low intelligence/high wisdom PC? Dumb but insightful? Uneducated but sharp? Say, an outlander barbarian. Lets give him that 5 Intelligence to signify raised by wolves. Never read a learnin' book. The usual stereotype. But what if he has a 16 Wisdom? Keen...
