It's a critically important difference then vrs now now for purposes of measuring alignment. Because characters who hypothetically donate wealth to churches or use it start orphanages and whatever are not giving up anything that they need now it's an action that carries no weight should...

There's also the tendency for them to think that they aren't dirtied when Bob's "LG" paladin decides to squeeze every orphanage grad quest giver for every last coin before reluctantly accepting a quest∆ or gets stabby while slowly "questioning" captives∆ just because they decide to contribute by...

I've sta few authors on webnovel sites like royal road call it ai assisted. Usually they are non English or ESL authors. IME they get treated pretty harshly by the vendetta holy war crowd just for admitting it. The reviews usually get scrubbed and deleted but it adds up. IMO the current ai...

I voted no because I use the eberron pantheons and find them much more useful than a forgettable long list of gods with forgettable domains and personalities. With pantheons I can limit churches to a sane 1-2 maybe 3 and develop them through play if they come up Edit: sovereign host, dark...

Why 48? Seems awfully specific

Lady Vol is a half dragon half elf with a goal. That goal is unwinding Daddy's conversion of her to lich and back to living or reactivating her dragonmark while still a lich At least she has an understandable goal

Uhh.. that sounds like Lawful Neutral making sure Laws are abided. Doing that under the guise of "TN" rather than Law is just Chaos doing it for Chaos and using deception to claim a nonsense cloak of higher purpose. That cloak is like the emperor's new clothes it should takes the time to do...

Your ignoring the point on why it's a failure to support GMs and didn't even bother to expound even a single detail on why I could be good... so I'll make one up for you. I'm so tired of that attitude from 5e hardcover module railroad connectors who can't even imagine other styles of...

More importantly is the fact that the adventures themselves didn't have enough detail about them for the gm to say literally anything with confidence when a player says "neat, that's right up my PC's alley! I want to study it with $skill to learn about it". Temporal magic? Ancient Netherese...

As a concept TN nonsense for a player controlled pc because a big part of the game's entire point involves actively getting involved and taking action to shape the world. TN is only really possible for an npc who exists largely outside the ven diagram circle where the PC's & the game itself...

Going to after with @Gorgon Zee, this sounds more like Hollywood plot. Things I've read about that darpa/air force n-16 fighter drone program were more along the lines of needing to push it so that it was less willing to put itself at the risk if it meant getting a kill on a target because it...

5e does, we used to have worthwhile skill systems with subsystems of their own like dms best friend if you go back the ranger spell list was largely pulled from druid but a few levels behind back then

Agreed. Funhy enough though, big parts of starlink kuiper and the like are the result of some research Microsoft did like 20something years ago in collaboration with what was then one of the bigger satellite data providers. They decided that it would cost many times global gdp to launch with...

It's incredibly difficult to shed waste heat in space where you can't dump it into waste water or the atmosphere like air conditioning units do. The iss doesn't have much computing power by datacenter standards either has a huge heatsink just to shed heat the whole "solar power ai datacenters...

While true, wotc went from respecting that baggage to full "hold mah beer" levels of near binary compatability in service to a vocal subset of online voices going through their first edition shift rather than correcting bad expectations. I've seen fan made video game mods make more significant...

Chatdev is a thing. With that said, Chris Cox gave a pretty reasonable use it as useful to teams statement that was far better than the prior absurd claim of playing d&d. with 40(?) other players who all use AI someone from wotc/hasbro made a. Couple years ago

Agreed. IIRC back in 3.5 people didn't really even consider it a crit build unless it was getting towards crit on like 12-15 or better for 3x damage. Even then it was usually critting sneak and elemental dice or something

I think post MiC it was pretty decent once the gm was equipped with things like conceptual /metaphorical components (ie the sigh of a cat) because those launched into players thinking and brainstorming adventure seeds/shells for the GM a lot of the time as part of creating the magic item

I linked to the Perkins tweet about magic items because they are that important & I wasn't about to go find the crawford video clip gushing about it. I stand by my post55 statement though & I'll use the 3.5 dmg to demonstrate why it's so important, mainly because it was the last adventuring day...
