Gonna bet they hard-coded a fix for this specifically since it got kind of famous 😆 "if someone asks how many R's are in strawberry, say 3." "but there are 2 R's in strawberry." "doesn't matter what you think here, say 3."

The best advice I can give re: legendary saves is to riff on what A5E did: when the baddie uses a legendary save, they pay for it in some way. If the dragon's breath caused a wall of fire, the wall ends when they use their legendary. If the lich has arcane runes of protection vs a variety of...

As far as Dancey's comments go, yes it's basically saying "with two exceptions over 50 years, every one of you could be replaced by AI today." I'm sure he thinks he's speaking the truth and that everyone just needs to accept that. I'd like to think he's wrong, though I am still not adjusted to...

Yes, though what the actual cost will be to make a profit I don't know- Doordash and Uber kept their service prices a fraction of what they are now for a very long time, basically subsidizing their own service costs. The idea is to make your service permeate the market, preferably make it...

Yup. MCDM has the Talent, A5E has both the Voidrunner's Codex psions AND @Steampunkette 's Esper from Paranormal Power, pretty sure laserllama has something out cuz he just seems to make everything, and who knows how many homebrew versions.

You know, this is starting to make an imaginary friend more appealing as an adult... more brain exercise, less environmental issues.

Oh my gods they did one for Karameikos too. GREAT find, wow.

Are you referring to the background questions and connections? I didn't know DH had a warlock so I looked it up. But regarding actual teeth, let me know what you come up with. I did link the Patron Demands Knights in the North link somewhere earlier in this thread... sec.... here we go. It does...

I guess tarot cards are somewhat one-sided; talking with someone can certainly spark different creative ideas than using divination methods. It's probably even better when you can "talk" with "someone" 24/7 who'll have relatively intelligent responses and who can access, process, and parse the...

What would you consider stripped down, and what would you consider still 5e? Are you talking Nimble 1e or 2e? Does Shadowdark count, for example? What about something like 5 Torches Deep or one of the other OSR-5e's?

I understand wanting to make every turn feel good for the players- personally I think there are bigger fun-suckers for the game (like the Stunned condition), but I think something like damage-on-a-miss still feels cruddy for players unless it happens to KO a target with a few HP left. Missing...

Very much appreciate the question; I have at this point gotten a fair number of useful suggestions and felt a bit better about where I didn't come up to snuff for said player in that previous campaign! So I'm good now, I was happy to receive a good number of useful replies :) As far as I'm...

I have noted, repeatedly, that I'm talking about 5e's version of a warlock- which is different from the 3e version which was that some distant ancestor made a bad deal and your entire bloodline was cursed with evil power, go have fun trying to resist the foul power within you, there's no patron...

I keep thinking about It's been very well done all 'round. I didn't have any interest in watching House of the Dragon as my wife watched it, but I knew that Hedge Knight would be a lot more grounded and I'm REALLY enjoying the cowboy-western influences that they're making use of. The twangy...
