OP refers to Tomia too - which is hardened cartilage and can be separated from a bird (or owlbear)'s beak. Its not easy but it can be done by a skilled taxidermist. What it would be used for I have no idea - fried duck beak is eaten in parts of Thailand

Noob remember - even if the DM tells them that the starting scenario is going to be 'lots of exploration, investigation and infiltrating an enemy stronghold" its unlikely a noob is going to know the mechanics well enough to create the best class and species mix for that specific game.

of the 10 images displayed 6 have teeth-structures in their beaks, thats 60%

I do like that the spell can create ghouls, wraiths, spectres and mummies, that ought to be the standard. Personally, I hate the spell and ban it along with Wish. If you want to do the reincarnation fantasy then you must go full full Orpheus and make a descent to the Underworld, charm/beat...

The good Splatbooks were great for adding cool options and expanding the game The bad Splatbooks were terrible for adding power without considering how they might balance with the rest of the game It required DMs to police what they would allow in to their games - which becomes yet another...

Easiest: Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue - they do one thing and dont need much else, mistakes dont matter Easy: Paladin, Monk - they add a bit of spice, but are easy enough to track. Moderate: Ranger, Warlock, Cleric, Bard - this is where making decisions starts Complex: Scorcerer, Druid - needs...

Oh I really like the 5.5 depiction, I hadnt seen that before. I always assumed the different pictures depicted different species of Owlbear too - so if we just go by fur/feather colour theres seems to be 3 or 4 different types depicted - the standard brown (1e, 2e, 3e, 4e), a grey (5e), snowy...

Alladin is interesting in showing just how far the islamic world extended - Alladin is from a City in China whereas the stories antagonist is a Sorcerer from the Maghreb (North Africa)! Nonetheless the story is told in Persia and its descriptions and details are entirely Middle Eastern. One...

IMC I made Owlbears and Griffons relatives of Velociraptors/Utahraptor and as raptors they have teeth and the raptor talon. Owlbears are the large robust form that go around on all fours due to their extra bulk. Aarakocra, Vrock and Achairai are also raptors

Maybe, she looked conflicted and got caught up in her own emotional trauma. Its already established she's got lots of psychological issues and disassociates herself from consequences - like she did with the murder during the robbery - so I can see her doing the same regarding Nala as proxy...

No she said Nala Ake is guilty - it was Braka who was using Nala as a proxy for the Federation. Yes she was a criminal who got arrested and jailed for the robbery - I'm assuming now she has been pardoned due to her assistance in the recapture of Braka.

Pretty much this. Neopets is a 'family friendly' game primarily aimed at children/tweens but still enjoyed by older players (many of the initial fans now being in their 30s or older) While safety tools are useful, it should have just been done as a blanket 'avoid sexual content' warning rather...

I like the ending very American College Drama. Overall it felt very X-Men, especially Tarimas navigation not-magic. The Trial was very tropey but suitably Star Trek.

Probably because of my love of the various Sinbad the Sailor movies of the 1950-1970's I absolutely love Al-Qadim and in particular the Golden Voyages, Corsairs of the Great Sea. Along with City of Delights. Its a fantastic setting that works well to capture a different flavour than the rest of...

Are you sure thats not just rounders?
