Yesterday, 08:05 PMThat's just it, Soulknife has a number of these gaps too. (Even the language one - their telepathy bypasses it and works on unwilling targets, but I...453 replies | 17124 view(s)

Yesterday, 03:40 PMAn ability that is inherently ill-suited to the way most people play the game cannot possibly be "very strong." That alone makes it situational at...453 replies | 17124 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:24 AMI don't think it's really the game design's fault if it breaks down when you're playing with drunk people and children. A lot of far less complex...453 replies | 17124 view(s)

2024-04-29, 08:49 PMPsyren replied to a thread DM Help Why does creature Type do nothing? Would the game break if it did? in D&D 5e/NextI'm not saying 3.5 fans aren't allowed to be unhappy, or that 5e design goals should matter to them.

2024-04-29, 07:13 PMHey, I'm not the one going "unfailing means unfailing! How dare you imply my persona has any potential flaws ever??" I agree, but there's a...453 replies | 17124 view(s)

2024-04-29, 05:10 PMSo you chose the side that houserules out the excpetion clauses the designers wrote into the ability. If that works for your table that's completely...453 replies | 17124 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:54 PMPsyren replied to a thread DM Help Why does creature Type do nothing? Would the game break if it did? in D&D 5e/NextThe big reason is that 5e wanted to avoid hidden/nested rules. A DM or player should be able to pick up a monster statblock or spell entry and know...16 replies | 1600 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:29 PMI don't know how we jumped off the deep end here to reprinting BoVD of all things. All I said was that a round of "antihero subclasses" in the DMG...47 replies | 5285 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:14 PMYou mean like the last "contrary claim" where you forgot Forger's Kit is on the Tool list? The designers wouldn't have written that clause...453 replies | 17124 view(s)

2024-04-29, 11:45 AMI'm not saying it's 100% guaranteed, but in most games it might as well be. DC 31 at level 9 isn't common. As for what I'd do instead, that...453 replies | 17124 view(s)

2024-04-29, 10:28 AMThat's correct - so long as there is not an actual "Frederick the Nobleman" that the King's seneschal remembers is actually off visiting the nation...453 replies | 17124 view(s)
