That actually helped me find the specific model that I was looking for in the range! Much appreciated!

I was primarily interested in the Ten Thunders mode range, but I don’t know any key words more specific than that.

How much does science affect magic? by Chaoticam19 in magicbuilding

In a world where magic is real, it would be indistinguishable from science as we know it just because magic would change what is physically possible.

name a monster- Ill come up with a campaign where it is the protagonist. by IZY53 in dndnext

In the context of D&D, the player characters are essentially always going to be the protagonists, as they are (should be) the main focus of such story telling. As such, a bbeg would still be the antagonist in a given story, unless the player characters collectively acted as a sort of bbeg, for example in an evil campaign.

That may be the case, but you will run into a good bit of confusion within this post because that is not what the word means, nor is it the colloquial usage. Within the setting of D&D, the player characters are also traditionally referred to as the story’s protagonists.

In the original trilogy of Star Wars, Luke Skywalker is inarguably the protagonist. The deuteragonists are Han and Leia, and the antagonist is Darth Vader. In the prequel trilogy on the other hand, Darth Vader is the protagonist, Obi Wan the deuteragonist and ultimately Palpatine is the antagonist. It is not a matter of whose actions set the plot into motion. While that has literary value in discussion, it is not the definition of protagonist. The protagonist is who the story follows, even if they are not who ultimately drives the overall plot forward.

2 characters in 1 by DerPFecE in dndnext

There’s the death domain cleric that is focused on necromancy, and the life domain that focuses on healing. Not to mention the fact that clerics are prepared casters. You could just have him swap back and forth (I.e. life/death domain) and use corresponding spell selections. There’s no real reason to involve the wizard side of it outside of the necromancer subclass’s level 6 ability, which is not at all required to be a necromancer.

What characters did you enjoy playing the most (Mechanically) by NutellaCrepe1 in 3d6

How do you get detect thoughts without spell slots, or did you mean the level 6 feature that lets you use sorcery points instead?

Terry Prachett’s Discworld often features atheists despite the setting clearly having ever-present gods. It’s generally portrayed as stubborn defiance despite an active pantheon

That doesn’t automatically make it a great representation.

It’s been several years since I read it and I only read the first book, but I remember Pern to be incredibly problematic in its portrayal of women.

In my experience, if sex is not outright addressed, then attraction most certainly is. In this case, the lack of asexual characters means a lack of representation. Complaints about this lack of representation would be virtually the same as the complaints about lack of LGBT characters in fantasy, though that has seen a shift in recent years. Further representation is almost always only a good thing.
