Today, 07:36 AMI've historically been a fan of rogues because, on the one hand, I like being able to do interesting and varied things (i.e., not just "I attack...6 replies | 858 view(s)

2024-05-16, 03:37 PMOK, suppose that the enemy does flee in a panicked rout, and they get away. Eventually they're going to get their wits about them, and when they do,...29 replies | 1305 view(s)

2024-05-16, 03:34 PMIsn't Trollbane a poison? Big T is immune to those, too. But if you have something else that unconditionally shuts down regeneration like that, and...218 replies | 27024 view(s)

2024-05-16, 03:18 PMChronos replied to a thread How long would the Earth last if the sun became a black hole? in Mad Science and Grumpy TechnologyYou're neglecting that some people already live in artificial environments that would survive the apocalypse. Iceland, for instance, already gets...35 replies | 1736 view(s)

2024-05-15, 03:35 PMTrap the Soul doesn't kill, so it doesn't interact with the Tarrasque's regeneration, and so (if it fails its save) it affects it normally. It's...218 replies | 27024 view(s)

2024-05-15, 03:32 PMIt's trivially easy to import 5th edition's trait-trait-ideal-bond-flaw personality framework to any game at all. There aren't any mechanics tied to...29 replies | 1305 view(s)

2024-05-15, 03:18 PMChronos replied to a thread How long would the Earth last if the sun became a black hole? in Mad Science and Grumpy TechnologyOK, let's use that desert example. In the first 12 hours without sunlight, temperatures drop by over 40º. If that rate holds up, it'd take three...35 replies | 1736 view(s)

2024-05-13, 03:20 PMChronos replied to a thread How long would the Earth last if the sun became a black hole? in Mad Science and Grumpy TechnologyTechnically true, I suppose, in that you could express the time for the atmosphere to freeze out as some number of hours, but it'd be a large number....35 replies | 1736 view(s)

2024-05-12, 09:00 PMSecond-edition familiars were an entirely different thing from 3rd or 5th. In 2nd, you had huge penalties when a familiar died... but as long as...22 replies | 3420 view(s)

2024-05-12, 07:31 AMI guess that, technically, there's a hole in the rules in that it doesn't say what would happen to the Tarrasque if something would kill it instantly...218 replies | 27024 view(s)

2024-05-08, 03:02 PMCome to think of it, when I DMed for a group that had a tiefling in it (mostly in Waterdeep), I only really made race relevant twice, and both times...92 replies | 6331 view(s)
