I suppose, for lack of being told anything else to do, Copper is going to hang back with this bow near the cave entrance.

"I don't know much about elementals, I thought we were here for dragon cultists? Anyway. If we need stealth, I might not look it, but I'm sneaky." The goliath offered.

Yes, Legendary resistance is an unfun hack. But the fix was already in WotC's arsenal: The Condition Track from SW:SE.

Realistically the only thing left to explore is subtraction, and nobody really wants to do that.

Oh right, Copper took the potions too.

Effectively, they are generic fantasy settings that differ from other dnd worlds on two key points: they don't have decades worth of lore to sift through or weed out for modern sensibilities. And they have guns incorporated into them instead of being highly regulated option things.

Oh, they went back to the Banneret instead of going with the PDK.

I would like to point out Copper has a Climb speed, if that helps.

Funny about that! We might have something to use as bait, only question is who is going to be crazy enough to try and sneak around a Hydra? Ok, I think we know Copper's going to try it, but who else?

"A Hydra, huh?" Copper ponders while poking at the dead cultist with a stick, only to be interrupted when one of the fish snap the stick in half. "Maybe we can poor some of these things in there with it and have them eat each other, heh?" I don't quite care for "Lakefiltrate" cause it seems...

I think the only DnD settings that aren't explicitly directly connected to other settings in some fashion are Eberron and Dark Sun. And even those are more of a "it just extremely hard to get there" thing.

"You're like a fish out of water!" Copper taunts the elf by leveraging his physicality against the shove. A twist here, a hip bump there, and a splash follows the cultist into the drink. "Well, maybe not anymore." Dexterity Save VS push: 1D20+6 = [14]+6 = 20

Well I'm not beating the allegations. I met my wife during a D&D game.

"He really isn't going to give up, is he?" Copper quips about the persistent pursuer. When the cultist lays flat to avoid incoming arrows, he grins as he leaps into action. Jumping across the gap from shore to shore he draws his twin scimitars and furiously pounces upon the unfortunate elf...

Disagree about what? I honestly believe you stopped reading that sentence halfway through. Liking monster stat blocks because you think they are more fun or whatever is one thing, you can't really "disagree" with templates being easier to future proof.

Do you remember how they backtracked hard on changing wildshape into an ability that used templates, despite such a design being inherently better for futureproofing both the druid class and beast type monsters as a whole? The experimental phase is long past us, we are on the steady course...

No, the opportunity to do something different happened in 2015. And 2016, and 2017. The player base kept rejecting psionics "being different." There is no reason for them to consider going down that road again.

Copper takes his, shot, but it goes wide in the dark. He bites down on his tongue before swearing out loud. The enemy knows he is around, but maybe not exactly where yet. A shot and a miss! A shot in the dark: 1D20+6 = [3]+6 = 9 1D6+4 = [5]+4 = 9

The Transformers One book does something I wish more publishers were able to do: Establish a lower power campaign option. All too often splatbooks fall into the trap of power creep, and it's nice to see the trend bucked every once in a while.

That might be a contributing factor, but I think it's mostly my fault for trying to post while cooling down from a bit of heat exhaustion earlier today. I admit I was scanning for the team Infiltrate tags and not paying deep attention to what else was going on at the moment. Also: Remember to...
