Fundamentally, the real point of gold (or any currency really) in any RPG (be it TT or Vidya) is to be an xp track for your equipment. You can actually see this a bit with armor in the early levels. Of course, that also ends up creating expectations on when and where +x bonuses come in, etc...

You know, that's exactly how I feel about the living expenses in D&D. There's absolutely no mechanical reason for you to pick anything and spend your gold on any luxuries. But its printed that you have to spend the gold you earn to live luxuriously. Spending gold on things that have no merit...

Depends on the build- it can be. Nothing stops the entire party from going one Barracks each.

One thing I think you're missing - Workshop seems to grant Heroic Inspiration. A bit redundant if your party has Musician feat or a human, but if you do need it... Kinda like how Arcane Study is decent if you've a mage without identify but bad if you do.

You're kinda twisting what I'm trying to say, but whatever. Its not important. Vibes are what's important, yeah? If its not something you're vibing with, then yeah, you should complain about it on the survey. And I kind of agree, but for different reasons than you. Personally, I look at...

It can't quite ignore enemies when they're invisble or you're blind, because you have to know where to swing to attack. High AC / disadvantage isn't a good trait either, because cantrips that target saves instead exist - those ignore AC /disadvanage too. I've never seen a DM that lets players...

They're different things in reality, but they all deal poison damage. The DMG treats venoms and poisons interchangably. Well, sometimes diseases do necrotic damage instead, like in the Harm spell, but other times? Gas Spore's Death Throws, for instance, is a disease, deals poison damage and...

Eh... Not really sure it does have a niche then. Its average damage is roughly on par with Shocking Grasp (worse with any spell damage buffs), but lacks any kind of rider that makes it more useful (like removing Reactions on target). So, its strictly worse for an average mage. Without the...

Oooh boy. This would be used to crit fish smites like mad. Its worse than Shocking Grasp on an average mage, decently on an Eldritch Knight or Bladesinger, and abusable on high level paladin or hexblade with that Smite feature.

About the whole poison = necromancy thing... I was actually thinking in terms of the Spore druid - they're all about mixing poison and necrosis, similar to Zuggtmoy. Demon queen of rot ends up being poisonous. So, if we're dealing with rot = poison instead of creating serpent venom, it'd make...

In general, my review was positive. My major complaints about the bastion was mainly about the free rooms that did nothing. Like... you get two free options... which included choices from a bedroom, a kitchen, a washroom, a lounge. Like, my apartment during college had more space than a...

Maybe they should Perform like a bard! Get on that stage and dance!

Personally, I actually like that aspect of the spell. You could pull double-talk with it and avoid the spell with a good Deception check. Its like Knock that way - doesn't completely negate the point of a skill. The spell does specify "deliberate lie," so if you think its the truth, the spell...

Nah. Its HM but more proactive.

Eh. Doesn't scratch what I think needs to be fixed about the spell. I want the spell to be usable as a tracking bonus before you get close to the target.

I... don't think I am. I think I'm just outright disagreeing with you. Your suggestions are hitting maybe a quarter of my concerns. That's not enough for a pass from me.

Reading my mind is a violation of my privacy. The mind is sacrosanct. That's an intrusion. Scrying me in the privacy of my own home is a violation. Scrying me in a public place, where there's zero expectations of privacy is not. Asking a friend of mine for info on me is kosher, even if they...

I actually think the monk isn't nearly in as good of a shape as you suggest, with all due respect. Monk, despite having simple weapons, is heavily biased towards making every attack unarmed, considering all the benefits later levels give to unarmed. It makes it hard to play out archetypes...

No, no its not. Violating the privacy of someone's home or their mind is invasive. Knowledge itself isn't the problem. Same here. Speak with Dead isn't invasive or a violation - if the corpse wouldn't want to answer you, it doesn't and nothing can force it to. There's no forceful...

Glad to be appreciated! I get this can be a frustrating thing to talk about. This is kind of an issue with shades of grey in it, imho. And that's not even touching on people who are using it as a kink, for law enforcement, entertainment or therapy.
