I voted for fighting monsters, overcoming obstacles, social encounters, and treasure. For treasure it's not straight up gold for XP(unless playing AD&D), but rather for acquiring something truly momentous, or managing to get the treasure out from under a monster without a fight. You might call...

Considering what they did to Wheel of Time and Rings of Power, I'm also sad that it's Amazon Prime Video.

Just don't get yours from Russia!

Do they still have that special retirement package?

Clearly an AI generated smiley face. 🕵️‍♂️

I've been doing that more and more lately.

@Umbran wasn't built in a day.

Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer, Planescape, Ravenloft, Eberron, Exandria... I'm tired of official cosmopolitan settings where all the races have homes. Give me something more unique, where they don't all live. Where the rules of play are slightly different for setting reasons.

The problem is that you are talking about the demographics of core book settlements, which of course will have demographics that place the core races as primary. They are talking about the setting demographics, which includes the entire known world and all the humanoid settlements, cities...

In Candlekeep Mysteries(Page 10) the First Reader of Candlekeep is a Green Dragonborn. One of the Great Readers is a Bronze Dragonborn. I haven't run any of the adventures from that book yet, but I did remember those from when my players went to Candlekeep for some research of their own.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter that they designed the setting to showcase 3e, because 1e, 2e, 4e and 5e work just as well. They may have designed it during 3e and with 3e in mind, but it's not in any way TIED to 3e. I can run it with literally any other edition and it's still...

It's even harsher on crafters than adventurers. At least the adventurers are earning a decent amount of XP. There are more than a dozen. Even Dragonlance, one of the least supported, had 5 magic users of 17+ in level, and 3 are 18+. In mass production, it would be a struggle to get to 2nd...

Sure. It's right here. 1e DMG page 11 "Therefore, when any ability score reaches 16, then it should be ruled a wish will have the effect of increasing the ability by only 1/10th of a point. Thus, by means of wishes (or wishes and/or alter reality spells) a charisma score of 16 can only be...

We were talking about con, not levels. They aren't ever going to need 10 wishes, because 17 and higher constitution doesn't give more hit points.

It's memorized. It takes less than a minute to cast. Then you spend half a week(on average) resting and memorize it again, moving on to the next magic item. Raistlin: 20th Par-Salian: 18th Fistandantilus: 20th+ Ladonna and Justarian were merely 17th. And that's with one of the least...

It did need a feat. The feat was just free. I mean, that's what I said in the quote there. ;) No cherry picking involved at all. It was simply the first wonderous item that could be done at caster level 5. Nah. 17 and 18 didn't do anything for magic users. No point in trying to go above...

Maybe you didn't read the 1e supplements that I did. Archmages were all over. Given how long it takes to level, you don't want to be giving up hundreds of levels mass producing magic items. Aaaaand, once you had Wish you could cast it every single day. That's because they mass produce magic...

First, it's 25 gold. 1(spell level) x 1(caster level) x 25gp. Second, it cost a negligible amount of XP for that 1st level scroll, so he couldn't do it with just starting gold and the feat. He'd have to earn some XP. That's wrong. You have to be able to cast the spells required to make the...

It wasn't much higher than permanency and LOTS of wizards got there. No. There was no XP cost like there is for literally every magic item in 3e. While it was easier to do and happened at lower levels, it quite literally cost the spellcaster permanent personal power. There was no casting a...
