for people talking about 4e dragons. Maybe the monster vault ones, I didn't get use them much myself. I can say the core 4e MM dragons were actually quite bad. they got brought in in that initial batch of monsters before solo design was polished, and those dragons often performed badly

I am hoping that season 2 will slow things down a bit. Probably because they weren't fully confident in how this show would be recieved (as lets be honest, remakes have been very hit or miss with the audiences), they wanted to jazz up the plotlines with a lot of comic meat. In season 2 they...

Since a lot of people on this thread may not be savvy onto the A5e Elite dragon (which you can find on their site here btw: Great Wyrm Red Dragon | Level Up). This dragon imo is WAY tougher than the normal great wyrm reds for a few reasons, but here is a couple of highlights: This dragon can...

The second a fight contains dangerous terrain or the ability to isolate groups of creatures, grappling becomes extremely effective in 5e because its so easy to do. just grapple and drag them into the bad terrain, or use it to pull 1 PC away from the group and isolate them.

roles are one of the best things about 4e, they 100% should make a comeback. 4e recognized that it takes a party to beat a party, and that allowing DMs to create a monster party with role fulfilled created the best overall experience. Or by concentrating on one role it immediately gave you a...

I would argue that Paul's constant pulling away from going south throughout most of the movie was his attempts to avoid mass death, and it was only when the fremen were slaughtered that he finally gave in and decided he had to commit to that path to save them. Now did Paul want revenge...

finale was pretty good, not my favorite episode of the season. I think the villains fall flat in this episode in order to wrap things up. Sinister comes across as a puppy. Bastion betrays him and he just stands there all butt-hurt. I expected him to have a few contingencies in the wings for...

I do think the second season of Wheel of time is much much MUCH better than season 1, so I'll be optimistic for this one as well.

I've tried the "crowd them out with minions" idea but they have kinetic jaunt and so can just move out of that when they need to. The two immediate ones were using cloud of daggers and heat metal. Both of those are easy to deploy, and I don't have to worry about paladin saves. Seems very easy...

I think part of the issue to is that this player is very good at optimizing compared to many of the others. And so its not just that they are the tankiest (that alone wouldn't be the end of the world). They also do high damage, and their grapples give them a ton of control. (they also have +10...

Yeah ultimately I feel like the best way to use the multiverse concept for the modern audience would be to allow for one superhero "club" per multiverse. Xmen in one universe, FF in another, avengers in a third. That narratively solves so many problems, lets you cross the streams when you want...

Let me double check my math here to make sure I'm not doing multiclassing wrong. Its a Paladin 8 / Sorc 2 (10th level). That's 4 1st level slots for the paladin, 3 (+1 when expending the sorc points) for the sorc, so 8 1st level slots a day. I generally run 2-3 combats a day (I never run the...

For an upcoming villain in a 10th level dnd game I am going to have a divination wizard. I've warned the party that I will be using some PC shenanigans on some of the villains, and so I'm planning to use the old PC trick of combining portent with a nice disabling spell to auto get one spell...

I'm running a 10th level campaign, and one of my players finally did it, they went a Sorcadin. So I have a character with a 27 AC with shield, +3 add to all saving throws (but often its a +5 to saves to due to 2 other paladins in the party, which also includes resistance to spells). They also...

Its true that mutant = analogy for other downtrodden groups is a long standing comic tradition. For me the problem with that has always been, that mutants aren't just different, they represent an entirely different power dynamic. Which is why Prof X's position is just a faulty one to me. Its...
