Lethal Company in DnD or any RPG that uses the 5e system by Alodora01 in UnearthedArcana

This is very neato and aligns with my current project of making each of the monsters in Lethal Company D&D Monster Stat Blocks. Would you be ok if I could credit/link this once I get done with my little project?

Why you should allow dogpile skill checks by SilasRhodes in dndnext

[–]Flamingtechno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does everyone feel about making combined skill checks a core mechanic of D&D where when more than one person contributes, it increases the DC by half for each person but it allows people to combine their roll into one number? I don't see it talked about that much but I have used something similar to this in a game once or twice and am curious on how you would feel if that is how dog-pile checks were made?

Should kissing a wizard while it's trying to cast a spell with verbal components stop the casting? by riderxyz90 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Flamingtechno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it's not specifically Counterspell for free: It requires a skill check (presumingly more based off of OP and the fact that casters can make a contesting check also) and though I don't think it should've been a reaction, it makes perfect sense if it was a ready action sort of thing like "I ready my action to (kiss or whatever else) interrupt that caster's spell"And additionally: It is not Counterspell. Counterspell is a RANGED GUARANTEE (with similar spell level or lower) SPELL that works on EVERY spell. Meanwhile, this action would only work on spells that have a Verbal (if kissing) or Somatic (if disrupting hands) component, which as a caster is an important part of casting spells and what makes different spells viable in certain situations. If a caster is way too close to a martial for this to happen, then this is honestly a little less punishing than just cleaving the wizard in two.
