I didn’t read the article. I get all my news from the comments section. 😉

How much complaining about what that knowledge had been putting out has their been?

When the new project comes along; someone will do their jobs.

Does no one think that swapping out the old timers (good luck to them all) and bringing in fresh perspectives might be good?

Does it? No one can agree how stealth and hiding works. 😂

I mean problem in the sense that this issue seems to take up a lot of real state on the boards. When I’m DMing I just look at the map and make decisions. I’m never going to messer square corners and diagonals etc and debate game theory.

I'd say he's hidden from 1, 2 and 3. If he moves then 3 might be able to notice him. If 5 shouts....he's over here...then everyone knows he's there. I'd say that with blindsight....the creature could make some kind of skill check (i hate skill checks) or search roll if they are actively looking...

The main problem with hiding are the facing rules or lack thereof. If an opponent can be facing any direction at all times, then the moment you break cover they are going to be looking at you unless the DM decides otherwise. This is why you don't have to be "behind" an opponent to "backstab" them.

According to…someone on Reddit… “The "Three Pillars" of modern D&D are not combat, exploration and social interaction. They are combat, character creation (90% of which is for combat) and spellcasting (90% of which is for combat).” I’m converting to this religion. 🤓

I’m with you friend. I’m rooting for the “this thing makes me happy” people.

I like to start a campaign with PCs all from one race and location with a singular cause for those restrictions. With the intent that all subsequent PCs can be whatever anyone wants. Before I even get to finish explaining my expectations just about everyone has a reason why their character...

The internet is where opinions are born.

Just like the rest of us are tired of people with great experiences feel the rest of us must be doing it wrong. It’s all opinions.

I’m saying don’t find any of it confusing. It gets confusing when people “rules lawyer” any given situation to get the best result they want. I hope everyone finds the end result they are looking for.

This has been my experience for most things.

Isn’t there a chart? I’ve been playing since the 80s and never have I had to use math to get to the ability score modifier. You look it up when you build the character…you write it down….and then you apply it as needed. With all the new fangled internets you don’t even need to look it up…you...

I’ve never had any of these problems so I’ll take your word for it.

So there is no difference. It doesn’t matter to me either way. I’m just trying to figure out why it matters to some people. Is it really complicated for new players to get why a high number gets you a + and a low number gets you a - ? My goal is to understand the mindset without calling...

But where do the points come from? Isn't a modifier array the same as an ability score array? Isn't replacing the ability scores with modifiers just calling them different things? Regardless of what you call them or how you get them the end result is the same. X modifier. I'm honestly not...

Can't we just use the ability score to get the modifier and then...erase the ability score? Other than to get the modifier from it, what do we use the actual ability score for afterwards? This is one of many sentiments that I've never been able to understand. If i was the type to start a...
