2024-05-18, 07:40 AMIn my experience, when enemies don't run away, it's mostly because the tides of battle shifted too quickly: Things go from seeming like they have a...37 replies | 1865 view(s)

2024-05-18, 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 | 1076 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.

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...220 replies | 27395 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.
