It's taken a few years but I've finally recovered my old email account so I can verify myself (and promptly changed to a non-burner email!) I think the major trouble you'll run into is that 5e just doesn't approach divination the same way? In 3e you could, for example, get a hundred diviners...

You're a saint, cousin. You've done good work.

Yes, actually, but several times! Also brought up Sagiro's storyhour, most times. Regardless, glad to have you around, friend. The more the merrier. I just wish Sep was a touch less amazing so we could try and guess the ending, but I guess enjoying the riches we already have will have to do :)

A straw man is when a hollow and oversimplified 'argument'' is presented and argued against in lieu of the actual argument. That's not what's happening here. What's happening is saying that a projection of charact we sheets and monster stats is sufficient to extrapolate results ("A 20th level...

Eh. Max level party in featureless plain within generic combat distance of an enemy isn't how the game actually functions, though; there are always complicating factors that get routinely ignored on paper. As for needing things to be uncertain... yes. But that's not an argument, that's a given...

I've found weird cases where the readied action doesn'T change the pc's initiative score seemed to cause my players to somehow lose turns, and they quickly changed tack. Instead of wait for the snipers to pop out of cover, they send in fireballs or the teleporting paladin, or destroy the cover...

Whether the Dash action increases the Tarrasque's movement for its legendary actions too is a matter of ruling. I always assumed it inc free a asked your speed for the round, period; hence, a dashing tarrasque getting 40' out of its legendary movement, not 20'. Anyway. I decided to reuse an...

This should be viewed as Working As intended, not as an excaption to the proper way of things. I know that's not how you're presenting it, just thought it was worth a say. According to the SRD here , acid splash has a range of 30 feet. A wizard 60 feet in the air would be ten feet out of range...

Oh, hey! I hope that was me. I would be blessed to know I was able to share this jewel with even one other person. Anyway, I'm sorry for those of you with email alerts. I think we can safely say Sep has moved on. What we do have is still here, and that is treasure enough. I'm not sure how many...

I would like to know how getting in touch with Sep goes, if only because I would be content to know the tale is done being told and the teller has moved on. I hope he reads this thread every now and again. I don't want to be a burden or obligation, but I do want him to know how fundamentally...

I'll wait as long as it takes. Few fictions have shaped me quite so. A transcendent story of the transcendent. I long to know the end. But I know myself. Ourselves. We wish the journey, to get to that end. So patience comes easily. This story hour is like a worry stone. We come back and polish...

Sagiro, from my heart, thank you. You and your players have changed the way I think about and approach gaming and fiction. Wow. Yeah. I actually miss stuff like this. Optimization is just so innate to me now, the raw numbers here just don't feel like a boss for his level. Dialing back the "I...

Welcome, friend. Welcome to a land where the greatest pains are trying. To find where you left off~ Well... Why? I've had some success making mock of this style for my own games, but the benefit comes more from understanding the structures and the reasons for their existence than from direct...

Oh man that was fun. Thanks for the read, Sagiro! * Google document signed and disseminated to my friends with a note to only click and submit if they remember reading and enjoyed. * Prophecy: spike to push through? Did no one think that they would heal the world by pushing the spike of...

Neat! That being said, I have no problems Re-uploading the more book-friendly version(s) or sending them to StevenAC. Book bindin is easy to ape, you just need to do some minor net research. The fun is going to come from embossing it. I don't know about you guys, but I think Dranko is a damn...

To contrast Everett's infectious optimism, I would say; probably not. That runs remarkably close to Sagiro's own publishing a D&D novel, which means it may be in a sticky space as far as licensing and such is concerned. That said, the idea is intriguing and with Wverett's link already there for...

Good golly gosh this is exciting. You know what? When all is said and done, I'm gettin this – provided your blessings, good folk – formatted, printed, and bound, professional style. And illustrated. This is going on my bookshelf. My grandchildren are going to tell jokes about me always...

It's a crapshoot. I recently found pretty much all of them - PHB, DMG, MM I & II, Fiend Folio, Legends & Lore, Dungeoneer's Guide, Unearthed Arcana and Oriental Adventures - sitting on a used book store shelf while looking for some white wolf stuff on a lark. I bought everything but OA, L&L and...

I may just. This is a fascinating point of view on it, and applicable to a different game I'm involved in. Worth ruminating on. The Druid class has class features which tie into an implied flavoring, and has a certain weight of expectation that my players can easily digest, which happens to...

Ah, I see. I think we have had a miscommunication then. My trouble is that we want as close to "by the book" as possible, while I myself still want to try something new. My trouble is the cleric class specifically is modeled after a monotheistic crusader archetype, and the most Immediate answer...
