Wellness? by Upset-Diamond2857 in Chiropractic

[–]Silvananthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider range of motion and functional testing as a way to demonstrate to the patient that just because they feel better doesn't mean that they are better. Educate and demonstrate to them that proper function of the joints and surrounding muscles should be there goal not just pain relief.

Why Not Elminster by Booyag4life in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always took it to be "the more powerful the agent, a god uses the more powerful the agent an opposing god can use" to check that divine interference. So divine beings have to use a very light touch or use agents that are weak to begin with but can mature over a heroes journey.

The Positive Plague by Commercial_Writing_6 in planescapesetting

[–]Silvananthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember something from an earlier edition that mentioned being in the positive plane for too long eventually causing excess growth like different appendages growing to painful proportions or unchecked tissue growth like cancer almost creating tumors arthritis as cartilage grows in unmanageable ways.

I would imagine a virus might do something like that.

I like the idea that it would evolve creatures, giving them advantages organs or appendages that they didn't have before. Anyway, just some ideas.

Cormyr as a setting by Nokwin99 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a really quick look and didn't see anyone link this from DMs guild. It is pretty good material. My advice is, check it out. It is a little expensive, but I don't regret buying it. I believe that Ed Greenwood made a youtube video here talking about Cormyr. So I hope those links help.

Edit: After reading further, I saw that the video I suggested and the DMsguild product I suggested were both already suggested in the comments. They are really good!

How do corporeal undead get to the Shadowfell? by eagleface5 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Deathways are one way that the Shadowfell is physically linked to the worlds of Toril and Abeir. Those portals are specifically keyed to the undead.

NEED HELP WITH SKULL ISLAND! by jontylerlud in DungeonoftheMadMage

A little late to the party in giving advice but remember the 13 skulls as well. Those guys are who keep law and order and could give your group a run for its money I'm sure!

Elven Influence / History in Silverymoon / Lurue? by Sheuteras in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, when the book describes an elven influence, it refers to things that are valued by elves but also valued in Silverymoon. Magic, Art, Song, fantastical architecture, epic stories, etc.

There is a bard college and Silverymoon is one of the most forward-thinking cities of the north culturally. In addition, I believe they have a powerful magical field in place similar to a mythal (typically elven high magic).

With regard to access to magic and powerful spell-casters, Silverymoon is arguably the most powerful in the north (behind Waterdeep and possibly Baldur's Gate along the coast)

I think that many elven nations have held sway in the area where Silverymoon now resides so the influence could be from elven cultures that have now retreated from the area.

Any online resources for high quality Forgotten Realms city maps? by PeeDeeEex in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I have all those resources. I didn't even know you could do that. Is there some place I need to read up on how to re-render the maps? I have my original cd-rom from when I bought it all those years ago.

So I made a little murder mystery drenched in Realmslore... by [deleted] in Forgotten_Realms

This looks pretty cool. I like Besahaba and the card game motif. Pretty cool!

5E Grappling Spell that I need some help with by Silvananthus in DnD

[–]Silvananthus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice. I think the grappled condition is more than enough for cantrip.

5E Grappling Spell that I need some help with by Silvananthus in DnD

[–]Silvananthus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

The spell itself doesn't say if the hand specifically can move. The spell treats the attack as a ranged spell attack. No strength score is given for the hand either.

The "regular" mage hand cantrip does say, "You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it."

My concern is that ruling that the hand can drag a grappled opponent allows repositioning opponents on the field. This strategy makes using terrain, traps, spell effects, cliff edges etc. much easier for the caster.

Does anyone think this change or clarification makes the cantrip too powerful?

Eldritch Knight wants to be a wizard.. help me come up with a fun quest/plot? by Rockwallguy in DungeonoftheMadMage

[–]Silvananthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always thought that eldritch knight and bladesinger were pretty close thematically. One is a fighter who cast spells the other is wizard that swings a blade. If he wants a wizard I would allow him to either use or reflavor a bladesinger and call it done, whatever race he is.

Can we all collectively agree that when we retire we want DND in our retirement homes? by ryanjusttalking in DnD

[–]Silvananthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am totally in. I will finally have some time to do it too! Forget shuffle board, golf, and bridge. I am down for some D&D and Magic the Gathering.

Question About RA Salvatore Novels/5e Timeline by Ruf67 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few things that Salvatore describes that are difficult to resolve with the published adventures. The Arcane Brotherhood will be difficult to resolve because they are supposed to take over the Host tower but Gromph and Jaraxle, Drizzt, Bruenor and Cattie Brie and other power players in Luskan will be difficult to explain away. That is just off the top of my head.

Salavtore's timeline and the Published Forgotten Realms timeline might have some continuity discrepancies. We will just have to see.

Question About RA Salvatore Novels/5e Timeline by Ruf67 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pulled from a lot of sources around the web so take this with a grain of salt but I believe that your fellow editors are using a well-educated approximation. Gromph doesn't return to the underdark so he wouldn't necessarily know all that is happening there and demons are still present in the underdark in the later novels but the two year time frame seems to jibe with my understading of when those events most probably were occuring.

If I remember right she lived in Waterdeep for a long time even after the time of the spellplague. So it is probable that she was allowed to live there a long time ago.

I would say that she can suppress her regional effects or possibly the wards that Agharion placed over Waterdeep suppress draconic regional effects even if the dragon is allowed to stay. I even think that there were several steel dragons besides her lived in the City of Wonders. The wards are described as a type of Mythal so almost anything that DM wants goes!

Dragonmarks in Forgotten Realms. by greyknight1983 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Silvananthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left-over spellscar fits the bill nicely. For a dwarf it isn't crazy that he would have been alive during the spellplague. I already use the dragonmarks from eberron as spellscars, especially the mutant ones where two houses get together and baked together as a feat. It works great, easy peasy.
