It's interesting that Cherenkov radiation & water that glows due to bioluminescent algae, both glow the same color of electric blue. I don't have the grounding in science to really understand, but I read somewhere that the blue glow is simply the color that water must glow, because of something...

Would you allow the cantrip Shape Water to cause water to glow? Perhaps just a dim, 10' glow?

There's 7 of them... well, that's one way of looking at it. But that misses the 8th member of the group, Frumpkin. And then there was that member that departed the group, and then a new member joining. If you count them both, plus Frumpkin, there are indeed 9 members of The Mighty Nein.

♫ Do you like pina coladas?

Dunno what the correct pronunciation is supposed to be, but I've always thought that it was pronounced, "grog" like the pirate drink, and "nard" like a teste.

Hospitalars Small +2 Con Alert Medicine Proficiency Common & Gnomish When the mages warred, they tore fire from the sun, and rained it down on their enemies. Their enemies retaliated, and the stars fell. In the end, civilization was in ruins, the cities of man lay ruined, and refugees fled...

I answered, "No." But more explanation is needed than that. If a good GM I was familiar with was offering to run a typical DnD game that was "Humans Only", I'd probably say no. That's a big turn off for me, since I almost never run humans. I strongly prefer to play characters that are more...

Ropers usually think the muscle-bound guy with a huge sword and wearing only ornamental leather armor is gay.

I still think this looks dire.

In a Rifts game, my burster went several rounds of trying to control a fire elemental, and failed every roll. Frustrated, I turned my attention to the gargoyle. I discovered that it was immune to fire. So I fired my little "pew, pew" laser at it. Roll a natural 1. GM tells me that my gun started...

People think I'm an a-hole, but I'm actually a maniac. I like it!

I'm gonna be in a 10 hr one-shot in about two weeks. Well, unless I die early, and if so, I might take off early.

I've honestly never seen anyone actually use ideals, bonds, flaws at the table. Most people seem to take a quick glance at the recommendations listed from their background, grab one that sounds alright, and then it never gets used or referenced ever again. For all the use I've seen, the space on...

I don't like posting in threads where I haven't read all the posts. I'm pretty sure that's what got me permabanned from some other rpg forum, that one of the mods had said, "Don't do thing", which I didn't see as it was a pages and pages behind my post, and then I did the thing.

There's been several recent threads about alignment. In my opinion, there shouldn't be any preset or predefined alignments. Instead, it should be a space where the player fills in the blank. As to what it is, alignment should be what it is that you are loyal to. It could be a person, an ideal, a...

Natural 20 is synonymous with Critical Hit, and has been for a very long time. You can pretend otherwise if you want, but it doesn't make it so.

That's incorrect. A natural 20 on an attack roll is a critical hit. Some abilities even expand the crit range, such as Bladelocks being able to crit on a 19 or 20, or the Champion Fighter getting a higher crit range. RAW, you are correct that there is no critical success for proficiency checks...

Yeah. When we were new to 5e, our party tried to use an improvised zipline to infiltrate an enemy fortification. The GM, for whatever reason, assigned us a DC 15 to successfully slide down the rope to the fort. Maybe there was some miscommunication there, and the the zipline was a lot more steep...
