It's not and you should ignore anyone who says it is.

It isn't.

>>48516001
Wrong question. What you should be asking is "When is killing monsters evil". The answer is "When more humans than monsters are killed".

>>48499953
Hey gA, I have a question for you.

Future sight is on the field, I cast Maelstrom Wanderer, can I cast cards from the top of my library as they're revealed but before the cascade triggers?

>>48500558
If you mean before those triggers RESOLVE, yes, but only if those cards are Instants, have Flash, or something is allowing you to cast them as though they had Flash. If the top card of your library was a Snapcaster Mage you could cast it, but not if the top card was a Divination.

>>48500577
Oh ya, you've explained the stack to me a few times, once the cascade triggers I can't do anything, but I could throw instants on the stack before the cascade resolved. Thanks man, you're the best.

>>48489411

Everyone thinks that the rules don't apply to them and they'll only get the good outcomes. And sooner or later everyone is wrong.

Outpost/Colonies

We are just a tiny colony at the moment, on their way to become a full fledged sept. Or are they maybe a remote outpost made for spying or resuppling? Who knows. we'll fluff this out later

Too many bloody Okri are making everything out of stone these days. Treated wood is just as fine, retains heat wonderfully, and is a fraction of the weight.

We don't turn into Elgi just by using wood in our craftmanship.

Hi I'm an elf I like doing elf things

>us
Stay underground, dig and hit things with hammers.

>them
Stay on the surface and hang out in trees.

I literally couldn't care less about them.

Now, let's talk about anvils and killing cave trolls, that' actually relevant.

How would I go about converting the necropolitan template to 5e?

>>48530880
Which is what, OP?

>>48530941
All it dead back then is make people have the undead type. That means a lot less now, so just literally do that. Being undead doesn't come with a laundry list of innate immunities and shit anymore so I don't think it even really needs an LA or the like. Just straight up "you are undead"

My party recruited an undead band for their brothel after torturing a dirty old man who cheated the fighter's mom in a game of backgammon.

>>48524461
And they got the building for the brothel by killing an elf supremacy terrorist and taking his house as their reward.

>>48523410
My drow rogue convinced the party to not spend their ill-gotten gains on magic equipment but on a ship, a crew, cool clothes and become pirates.

Certainly are! Afaik we tend to prefer stuff like Fighting Fantasy, Sorcery!, and Lone Wolf.

Nah, gamebooks have always been /tg/-related.

>>48527612
It's Lindybeige, therefore shit. Don't even need to watch the video.

>>48527612
Plenty of games have chasing rules. Has Lindybeige considered not playing D&D?

>>48527849
Even D&D has chasing rules.
Hell, one D&D adventure actually introduced a card-based chase sequence.

Because white wolf can't design worth shit.

Also because the fanbase is terrible and enables this shit

Because the shtick of Solars is excellence, they do shit better than other people. That is why most of their powers are just about making them flat better at shit, because their theme is all about them excelling at their fields of expertise.

That's why there's powers like being so good at jumping that you can leap like 40 feet and being so good at balance you can run on water or balance on a falling leaf but there isn't anything like laser eyes because that's not an extension of what a person does.

>>48524763
>That's why there's powers like being so good at jumping that you can leap like 40 feet and being so good at balance you can run on water or balance on a falling leaf

Except they don't do that. They give you more chances of successes or more successes, which lets you do something more "epic" because the Storyteller might have the presence of mind to set a higher difficulty or something.

To this anon, for Ravnica, I suggest the actual cards themselves. The City of Guilds is exceptionally vibrant and visually distinct, with tons of bohemian architecture woven in (the city is based on Prague).

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&block=|[%22Ravnica%20Block%22]|[%22Return%20to%20Ravnica%22]

Here, this should have all the cards from *both* Ravnica blocks, so the sets Ravnica, City of Guilds, Guildpact, Dissension, Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash, and Dragon's Maze.

Check the mechanics too. The Ravnica blocks are famous for being very mechanically dense, with each Guild having it's own exclusive keyword that brings out the flavor of the guild. Between the two blocks, that's some 20 keywords and 1300 cards, with tons of art references to help you world build.

Oh right, topic. I loved the Book of the Emerald Circle: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11I0xCPgAS3ZhxGvTlBoePOuaDqgpyWs13jVKhJ4c8hM/

2e fix to a ton of the First Circle spells.

Played a session where my unoptimized Mantis Bushi and two other players fought against five bandits. Not a scratch on me, other PCs dead and I chased the last bandit through the streets and stabbed the fuck out if him.

Note on Inheritance; RAW it's +1k1 to non-combat rolls made with the item. Specific skills are given for items as example uses, but it doesn't quite restrict you to one skill. It's just a smart way to do it.

What's the lewdest clan?

We dorf now apparently.

More receptive, cute looking characters would raise our server popularity. Played a round yesterday after a one year hiatus without checking the server and the loli bartender refused my love after all the attempts to approach.

>>48457860
>turn the server into waifu bait trash to make it popular again
on one hand your right, on the other it would make the server trash.

Victorious, on the other, looked to be a constant nervous wreck, like she had the constant feeling that she wasn't supposed to be here. You could also notice her sweating rather profusely, even though the weather wasn't particularly that hot. However, despite that, she seemed to get along well with Anna, both of them being carriers, and all.

Meanwhile, you weren't all that much of a tea person. The shit was way too bitter for your taste, which was why you ended up just pouring sugar liberally into your cup, much to the poorly disguised disgust of all of the present British ships.

The scones were fucking excellent, though.

"So, Hoel." Exeter gives that typical glowing smile of hers. "How do you like the Falklands? I understand it's quite the far cry from the Pacific."

1. It's not actually all that broken. Reread the animal companion guide because 9 out of 10 discussions I get into about this don't notice really simple things like you get to add the ranger's proficiency bonus to the animals' AC, Saves, Attacks, and Damage.

2. Barding.

3. Stop expecting to play a 3.5 druid that gets a free fighter with every level

4. Realize that the animal is an extension of a singular class feature that will come back after a long rest. You can even change out the animal for added utility, and eventually can even begin casting Hunter's mark on the creature.

5. The largest weakness of the animal is that it has the HP of a wizard with no Con. Considering the bonus to AC and the barding potential, this is only bad if you get hit with a breath weapon. If you want to remedy this, allow the animal to add it's con modifier plus ranger level.

6. If your concern is roleplay reasons for having the animal, but you still think the animal is too weak to survive, keep in mind that the animal doesn't have to die at 0 HP and can be cured/revivified. Baring that, talk to the DM and see if you can convince him that when you rest for 8 hours that the same animal companion comes back. They will RARELY say no.

7. Stop sucking dicks and trying to make 5e into 3.PF.

>>48525161
By not exaggerating how bad it is, letting companions perform a short command instead of just swapping an attack for a worse one, and telling the DM to throw a companion a magical item or two.

>>48525256
So lvl 6 ranger has an animal companion with 24 hp, and an AC of.. 18 if you're lucky and have somehow gotten the gold/opportunity for barding?

Still gonna go down like Monica Lewinsky in any decent fight that would challenge a party of lvl 6's. And as soon as it hits the dirt you now have to worry about healing it/keeping it alive.

Why the fuck would I ever bother? Hunter far far better (and ranger is already somewhat under-powered).

Not about making 5e into 3.5. It's just bad. Like SUPER bad. I'm not talking 'zerker barbarian bad' or 'valor bard' bad this is a whole new universe of terribleness.
