It's almost like those critiques weren't being made in good faith! :unsure: The thing is, this exact mechanic has been conceptually in the series from the beginning, just never quite so explicit. But my Origins Mage Grey Warden was taking advantage of so many status effect combos (a personal...

Oh believe you me, those gears were already turning as I was reading the initial adventure pitch, and they only spun faster as I moved through it. I do think there's ultimately a few things that would make the transition difficult, but I've already got in mind several replacements if that's what...

From a game-design standpoint it's basically an unsolvable problem, because what happens if you make the NPC too fast, or too slow, and there's absolutely no way to make them feel good

If I had to make a list of Eberron's most significant and important contributions to D&D as a whole, it would be: 1) Its approach to alignment, specifically in restricting the "always <alignment>" tag to extraplanar/immortal beings, allowing sapient creatures to have free will and construct...

Most of the hate for Veilguard had little to actually do with the game itself, sadly

I have often heard them referred to as "walk-and-talk segments", almost always disparagingly

The latter two are what I consider a classic hash brown. Home fries aren't terrible but I definitely prefer them shredded (and tots are definitely high up there too!)

Yeah, if someone blocks me in a thread where we're arguing and I was pretty sure I didn't cross any lines myself, I usually assume that they're trying to stop themselves from stepping over the line in response. At least, that's ended up being the case the few times I've had a similar thing...

Not to speak for anybody else, and I don't know the particulars of this one since I've not really been following that thread, but there are times on this forum when someone will block a group of people at least temporarily so they don't get themselves sucked in to endless arguments. Again, not...

Yes, if you are blocked by the thread's OP you cannot access the rest of the thread. That thread still exists for me as well, but there are threads I used to frequent that give me error messages that let me know I've been blocked their OP.

I went with mashed but it took a lot to make me turn away from hash browns. The thing about potatoes is that the closer it is to its natural state the less appealing it gets* *baked potatoes being the exception
