Today, 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...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 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...10 replies | 635 view(s)

Today, 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...36 replies | 4021 view(s)

Today, 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...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 12:31 PMSure they can! But you see, they might have to roll a die or two at some point, so clearly the one that can do this horribly niche activity without...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 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...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 11:36 AMAssassins explicitly can't imitate real people (other than the way any rogue can); what they do is imitate fake people they've invented. So if being...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 10:49 AMFine and dandy but - explain why I need to be an Assassin for this again? The whole point of the plan is the murder, which needs me to be Fred, and...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 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...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 10:18 AMA theory I've seen (totally unsubstantiated) is that they'll do a round of "dark/antihero" subclasses in the DMG, like Death Cleric,...36 replies | 4021 view(s)

Today, 09:40 AM1) I still have perma-advantage because of the Forger's Kit, which I explicitly included in my example. That's a tool too, PHB 154/XGtE 81. 2)...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Today, 02:47 AM1) Where did I say anything about level 1? 2) So for automatic belief (until obvious reason failure), the Assassin needs to adopt it as a disguise;...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:04 PMGoalposts: I thought we were trying to replicate "create a believable false identity" not merely "make a disguise." Where in the Assassin...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 08:19 PMIt actually says "unfailing" before listing one fail state exception ("you can't") followed by another ("until.") Both of which are wide enough for...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 07:57 PMNo, I said no such thing. You're treating the kit like it is its own ability but that's now how either version of the game works. There are only 6...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 06:50 PMSo we're back to "it's not too much time for an Assassin because they have the specific coupon, but we need to artificially penalize every other...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 06:40 PMI'm not using them that way. I'm doing a Deception check, to which those tool proficiencies are granting me advantage, as per Xanathar's/2024. (In...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 06:35 PMI think the anti-psi tech they packed into him did a number on her reading ability. I can't think why else they'd establish that the Avengers...15 replies | 935 view(s)

Yesterday, 06:25 PMIf your 2014 Assassin is trying to do that same-day then they're SOL too, because you needed 6 more of prep. And if you did have 7 days of...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 05:55 PMI stopped reading here because they wouldn't have to ask me for that, they'd just say "With RT + Expertise + 14 Cha my lowest possible roll is a 20,...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 05:29 PMBase Rogue already has many effective roleplaying tools, why do they also need a valuable subclass feature taken up with jank? More is not always...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 04:51 PMOh right, thanks, I didn't even touch on the weird-ass arbitrary 7-day tax in my last post. Yet another reason to toss it.376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 04:41 PMI know there's a difference, that isn't the question. The question is whether non-Assassins can make one, not whether they're different. If they...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 03:46 PMExactly - anyone can do something like this, so in order to try and preserve Assassin's dubious niche, you're now houseruling in unwritten handicaps...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:08 PMEven if this is true it causes a different problem. If there is a narrative ceiling on what a Disguise Kit can do that only the Assassin is able to...376 replies | 14201 view(s)

2024-04-27, 05:29 PMI disagree, I think Rogue's stinkers are singularly bad (apart from monk's). Even a Champion/PDK Fighter or Battlerager/Berserker Barbarian can grab...376 replies | 14201 view(s)
