    D&D General How often do you use or encounter Dungeons and/or Dragons in your games?

    Since taking on the philosophy that everything is a dungeon - well dungeons are everything:) Even exploring a Bazaar on a shopping trip can be a chance for exploration, overcoming challenges and reward Dragons are a background element, rarely knowingly encountered (though who knows which NPCs...

    What is your favourite character type, (prof, class etc) And why?

    I like using skills to circumvent combat -stealth, trickery, fast talk and explosions - so whatever class facilitates that whether frivolity of a gnome prankster or the dour seriousness of a shadowed assassin. Its the concept thats important, not the class

    Doctor Who… Xmas Special in 2026

    Doctor Who is still a high value flagship production for BBC, even without Disney money the BBC wants to maintain the property as an income earner from international sales and licensing deals. Yeah the Disney money was nice, though I didnt see much difference in the output and am one of the...

    Doctor Who… Xmas Special in 2026

    Ncuti made a career decision to quit early and do other stuff. I suspect the xmas special will be Billie Piper as Not-Doctor on a search for actual Doctor. (Im still going with my theory thats she's an avatar of the TARDIS) It would be great to see Susan Foreman come back too Im looking...

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    I could see two players working together as Dragon and Rider with some kind of Bond feat allowing them to coordinate better but generally dont like the idea of players running 2 PCs unless everyone is doing it. I could see the playing the Dragon with a dumb rider, but thats an entirely...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    but if I'm out foraging in the forest then survival is what I use to identify the things I can eat - so sure by raw it might not tell me if an unknown fruit is poisonous but it will tell me if it is not edible, which is all I need to know about it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    I'd put weather prediction, terrain lore, wayfinding, finding water, identifying edible/medicinal/poisonous plants and knowing cycles under Survival - If I'm in the wilderness hunting then I need to know where its safe to go, what the weather is doing, what plants I can eat and what to avoid...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    1 Okay so looks like Aywin and Shade-9 are the divers - sneak in and grab the idol from under the sleeping Hydra 2 Frog-Bjorn to take point in the water monitoring the hydra and fish, backup if Aywin or I fail (ie get caught) 3 We will need a Shore crew to keep an eye on the Hydra and to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Improving Medicine - one of the least loved skills.

    Youve covered some nice options, unfortunately medicine is undermined by healing spells and easy rest options. If spells were skill based Id require medicine skill to use cure spells. So maybe for a start allow a med check to stabilize to +1d6, scale up with level xd6? Healing on a short...

    D&D General How do you prefer your monster books?

    I want a book organised by Terrain and focussed on encounter design instead of Stat blocks:) - is that setting specific or mixed?

    D&D General Talking Animals

    Monkeys, Apes all have opposable thumbs and thus tool use, octopus, elephants, otters and racoons have fine manipulators though maybe disadvantage on slight of hand. Those centaur climbing rules crack me up, but it does take care of the biggest restriction on dog/wolf and other medium sized...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I'm thinking a stealth option would be best (hence my last post mentioning that we should aim to avoid/minimise any carnage - I can cast Pass without Trace) Also noting that both Shade-9 and Aywin dont need to breath so can survive underwater (so thats 3 of us for the dive team - any others?)

    TEAM LAKEFILTRATE - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - Mark of the fallen star. Shade-9 remained back with the kayaks, motionless in a shaded recess, just outside the glow of the sword and lanterns. He observed as the two Teams integrated, logging behaviour, accessing profiles and making status assessments The...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    If it makes you feel better I had forgot about them too, until I noticed that Team Caves had found one. But then Id also forgot about needing to find a staff until now too - I thought we were here to kill a Dracolich :o !
