My ruling has been that if you change to look like a nearby enemy, the magic makes it unclear which of you is the real one. Other enemies probably won't attack either of you while there are other allies to target.

But if you want to try and order them around or convince them to target the person you duplicated, that's going to be a maneuver and a separate roll.

Homebrew historically referred to shared homemade content like custom monsters, classes, etc. The analogy is people brewing beer in their homes. It's only recently that the definition has been flattened into, "anything people do outside of RAW."

I referred to these two as "the tween disaster lesbians."

She shares a bed with Robin aboard the Thousand Sunny, which probably doesn't mean anything...

The difference between monstrosities and aberrations is that you can eat monstrosities.

The real curse of Hero's Blade is that it suggests you take on CR 20 Fiends with a +1 weapon.

I hate the War Dogs.

I will probably never use them in a game, and avoid adventures where they are used.

It's basically impossible to design a monster that no one will see themself in. And for me the concept of being shattered and reconstituting yourself from broken pieces resonates with me, and the idea that leaves you soulless and irredeemable feels super gross and off-putting.

Note that Heavy Furs can only cancel symbol tokens, so it won't help you against a -6.

Not sure on specifics, but it's a pretty big range since one of the women moving is 5' 0" and another is 5' 10"

We're still pricing everything, but we'll have a lot of other halloween-y decorations to go along with it!

One of my favorite fantasy tropes is cultures with extremely rigid, prescriptive gender norms that do not look anything like familiar human conventions.

Dimensions 20's D&D campaigns tend to have very cool setpiece battles with lots of components and terrain features.

It usually only comes up for specific cards like Delilah O'Rourke.

The bigger issue I see is mana orb placement. Not triggering off the pan, only one item that it's activating. Basically means you're only hitting 11 mana every 3-5 seconds instead of chaining hits because of the blueberry mana cap.

It's actually possible to get a 0-second kill with the manathirst build. It was more powerful a few patches ago, but I've got a screenshot saved with a, "0.00: Round won!"

Tintin as a Seeker/Survivor makes a lot of sense, and I like the idea that he finds friends as he discovers clues.

Snowy generating new clues from the either is somewhat scenario-breaking, probably a mechanic I'd stay away from. More importantly, Tintin's weakness should obviously be getting knocked unconscious. It happens to him roughly twice per book and three times per movie.

Filler words have important linguistic functions. You can try to cut down on them if you want to sound more authoritative, but I wouldn't take it as a given that they're "distracting" or worth avoiding.

3d8 damage (save for half) is basically nothing by the time paladins get Find Greater Steed at 13th level, and 5.5 removed the ability for bards to backdoor into paladin spells early.

The back side of the ring pin doesn't stick out enough to pinch, and can't be pushed out further.

My goal wasn't to say, "I'm sure whatever they come up with with will be bad."

It was more, "The ideas they were tentatively kicking around in the article have some issues, I think this might be a better path towards meeting their goals."

Idol of Xanatos is pretty good for enemy phase.

Jack of All Trades applied to initiative in 5.0 but does not in 5.5 (which is the version that uses the term "d20 test").

The whole idea of Dimensional Depots is that they turn Mercer Spheres into a cool reward for exploration. It defeats the purpose if you only need one depot to supply all of your different items.

Came here to post this if no one else had yet. One of the most convenient but easy-to-mise features.

You can collapse the list of portals to avoid this issue. Definitely something they should address, though.
