    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    ADHD is one of the -worst- named neurodevelopmental disorders there is or has ever been. Lemme list some of the actual problems ADHD is comprised of: 1) Executive Dysfunction It causes issues with the regulation of executive actions. "I have to do this thing, today" isn't a statement meaning...

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    It wasn't compulsive cleaning. My house has been a -mess- for a very long time because I -couldn't- clean it. I'd stare at a pile of dirty dishes in the sink and feel guilty for days before I finally had no choice but to wash them. There were amazon boxes stacked up in a corner of the room for...

    Traditional formula. 4-6 hours short term. I was considering XR but the price tag on GoodRX was so high....

    It also wound up lasting close to 8 hours instead of the 4-6 it's supposed to which was just NUTTY. Once I was able to focus and trigger focus I hyperfocused and just kept going once it ran out. I felt amazing.

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    Not only did I write 2,200 words, I also whirlwind cleaned house for 3 hours and completed, like, 15 different tasks around the house I'd been kicking myself for not completing. I just looked at it and went "Oh. I need to do that." and then did it. Is this what it's like for neurotypical...

    The adderall is strong with me... Right now I'm roleplaying in City of Heroes, doing the dishes, and writing out a structure for a multiple-action system for 5e that takes a few notes from Pathfinder 2e without lifting the system, entirely.

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    So when I went to do the Pumpkin Spice Challenge I went ahead and created three monsters to go with it. That's another 1,161 words in a further hour and 15 minutes... Minions of the Pumpkin King While the Pumpkin King, himself, is a powerful entity on par with most Warlock Patrons, the minions...

    Took my first pill at 7:30am. Let's see how we do... Crown of the Pumpkin King Wondrous Item, Legendary (Requires Attunement) While this pitted and soot-stained iron crown was built to be worn on the head, there are no humanoids such a crown would fit. Instead of resting comfortably on the top...

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    Notes for tomorrow in the hopes I can get to sleep, tonight: The Pumpkin King's Arsenal 1) Seedling Bomb. Explosive that spreads seeds that grow into tiny pumpkin-gremlins that hinder enemies. 2) Sceptre of the Pumpkin King. Flaming Maul with Fear effects. 3) Crown of the King. Summon a patch...

    So. FINALLY have my pills. (Had to drive to a different town to get them) Too late to take one without being up all night. So tomorrow morning? We'll see how they work.

    Prescription secured... tomorrow we pick up the Adderall. Apparently it's better for adults than Ritalin is.

    5e D&D! Though it'll work fine for most systems since it's gonna be some magic items.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Species - Zeetvah (Snarf’s People)

    If it was about Snarf it'd be more like: ASI: +2 Con, +1 Charisma. Convincing enough, but with the stamina to type for 48 hours straight on your newest essay. Size: Irrelevant. Why would you ever ask someone something so personal? Speed: 92wpm Darkvision: 3ft. For seeing your keyboard at 3am...

    D&D General The rapier in D&D

    1-yard hexes would be SO sexy as a map scaling now that you mention it... Most d4 weapons would be "Melee" where you have to be right next to someone. Swords and Battleaxes and the link with 4 feet or so of reach allows you to hit someone two hexes away. Polearms allow you to fight at two to...

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    12 hours left, no votes in the last 35 hours... I'm definitely thinking Magic Items are the winning option, here! I'm thinking of two themes that I'd like to get opinions on... one of them @Snarf Zagyg will probably like: 1) Monk Magical Gear Monks really get the short end of the stick on...

    D&D General The rapier in D&D

    That's part of it, sure. But also the idea that you -can't- threaten someone 5ft away with a dagger. 'Cause it flattens the idea of reach pretty heavily. In a fight between a guy armed with a knife and a guy armed with a sword, all other aspects being equal, guy with the sword is gonna kill the...
