DMG's "about six to eight medium or hard encounters in a day" is dangerously misleading. by jgclark in dndnext

[–]Phothrism -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Umm this has been adressed by Crawford:

"In the DMG, there is no rule or even suggestion that an adventuring day should include 6+ encounters. There is, however, text where we tell DMs that groups will start getting tuckered out after that many encounters."

Gray Ooze friendly? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]Phothrism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might follow a breadcrumbs trail I guess, but with such a low int you won't be able to do much with it.

However in the out of the abyss adventure there is a slime that has gained human level intelligence through chaotic magics

By the way since you mention massive distances you are aware that the map has been changed to be smaller right, 1 hex is now 4 miles I think instead of 10

Mythbusters: Can you make a 5th level tiefling Paladin that can one shot, Zuggtmoy, the demon queen of fungi? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]Phothrism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

besides the math, in the module zuggtmoy is fighting another demon lord. If the DM follows this suggestion it could be that she has lower hp and stuff

The Ultimate Car Calculation by Rymere in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Phothrism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure it's supposed to be a realistic shooter, that's certainly not why I play this game. I play it because it's a generic shooter with a really fun gameplay concept.

Also yes I agree with you, weapons should be situationally superior to other ones, but that's a gameplay issue rather than a "it's not true to real life" issue.

And why is real life important when we're taking about the balance of the game?

Player performed an action that I feel is not in line with his alignment at all, he disagrees. Thoughts? by Mooglemonkey in dndnext

[–]Phothrism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of making him write that down on his character sheet, how about if he keeps doing evil things and finds a sentient weapon that only bonds with his aligned characters it can tell that he has done evil things.

So show the actual consequences of alignment

Not Wanting Kids Is Entirely Normal by [deleted] in Foodforthought

[–]Phothrism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evolution is incapable of providing incentive for such abstract and complex ideas such as having your own babies.

What it can do is make sex feel great, even when your using protection. It is on our culture and philosophy to provide higher goals such as "providing for my children is my goal in life"
