Yesterday, 08:34 AMI had a DM that used the flat +2. It works well, gives tactical options and reasons for being in melee, without being overpowering or basically...83 replies | 5428 view(s)

2024-04-10, 11:39 AMThis thought just occurred to me talking to Segev in the Hex thread: since all builds are encouraged to use their "Concentration slot" on something,...82 replies | 7397 view(s)

2024-04-10, 10:28 AMI mean that almost every Warlock will feel the need to take it, by level 5 at the latest (by level 3 if it has the upcast feature). It's a straight-...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-10, 09:53 AMWhen considering new invocations, one must be careful not to make it basically a tax. I believe the Evil Eye invocation falls in this category, even...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-10, 09:12 AMGood point. It's in fact even odder to think that you should point, or say something... like meteors have eyes and ears, and the intelligence to...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-08, 06:16 PMFunny... I would think that those that absolutely insist that their houserules are not houserules but are in fact rulings would be the ones who think...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-08, 03:56 PMAnd here is already where your troubles begin. You give a name that is simply nowhere in the rules, and not only don't stop at the arbitrary...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-08, 08:49 AMWe DO know at least one thing about what these actions from spells entail: that it is something that a druid in the form of a bat, a frog, a lion, a...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-07, 06:20 PMCongratulations, you've just invalidated a commmon- and obviously intended- Druid tactic. I dislike Druids, but you apparently hate them and don't...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-07, 05:38 PMThere is no spell in the book with a re-cast option. You never re-cast spells as part of the effect of the spell. Feel free to show spells that have...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-07, 04:27 PMI can see how highlighting the absurdity of the application of your principles can be annoying, but in fact, once you say "DM can totally add...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-07, 11:53 AMIncreasing the duration of the spell to several hours when it's cast at a higher level is, indeed, evidence of intent that the spell can be cast...132 replies | 9871 view(s)

2024-04-07, 10:44 AMA good example of the point I was making. "The devs clearly intended for moving the Hex to be noticeable, otherwise they wouldn't have added verbal...132 replies | 9871 view(s)
