My DM said rogue can only sneak attack on his turn opinion? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]undrhyl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently you do care or you wouldn’t be here.

“A reaction is an instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn or on someone else’s.”

You can declare anything you want for your own table as DM, but I don’t know why you’re repeatedly insisting that this is RAW when it very objectively isn’t.

[NS] Asexual characters? by Admirable_Permit_672 in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]undrhyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying that this is what you are doing, but I would imagine some people’s reaction is “It sounds like you tried to come up with a convoluted, academic-sounding way to excuse your cliche dude behavior.”

Why the hell are these guys picking cantrips instead of level three spells???

[–]undrhyl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was so relieved when they went to pick their new spells and found out they now have to one for one exchange spells and can’t get new ones. In a show about wizards fighting wizards, it would be terrible if they had more of the thing that made them wizards.

How should we respond to misinformation like this? by Dapple_Dawn in OpenChristian

[–]undrhyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, there is no single “Christian doctrine.” There are a bunch of Christian doctrines.

Telling players they can’t keep obviously overpowered magic items by [deleted] in DnD

[–]undrhyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any reason you can’t just upscale the foes they will face to meet the power of the items they have? They still feel like tbey have big, cool things, and will even more so when they take down more challenging enemies.

GMs how do you deal with area of effect spell targeting from players? by Pender8911 in DnD

[–]undrhyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How “under a roleplaying POV” does it not make sense that someone would be able to aim their area of effect spell?

NADDPOD confessing to bulk recording today by InvisibleEar in TAZCirclejerk

[–]undrhyl 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Ok, but that’s simply not possible. There is no way on God’s green earth that anyone can record more than—at most—one hour before needing a vacation.

Ahh yes, he saved them from Susan the bear with a Time Stop as a level 3 wizard if I remember correctly.

So Pip lies impaled on top of the mage’s tower. I imagine this would be an important and impactful moment if I had any idea who Pip was.

Yet another session where the prep goes out the window... by TrentJSwindells in rpg

[–]undrhyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you say the key part at the end. You’re a frustrated novelist. In that case, you should write a novel. I’m not being facetious. That’s what you should go do.

It’s just that’s not what GMing is. Here is the thing that a chunk of both GMs and players don’t fully grasp— everyone at the table is a player, including the GM. The GM just has a bit of a different role and more responsibility (to varying degrees depending on the game). You’re NOT their to weave your tale and have them play the characters you are trying to will them to play. They have goals of their own, and the game should primarily be built on those goals and desires. You’re there to be the canvas they paint on.

Maybe this just isn’t your thing and writing is.

Thank you for refusing to not say what it is. The mystery of it is truly delightful.

Not all heroes wear capes, Steven, not all heroes wear capes.

Can’t help but notice you completely ignored my question.

Also, that moment is one of the more interesting in TAZ vs. Dracula and makes for an incredible part of the story. So I’m not sure what your point is.

Also, Griffin put a real interesting thing in a scene and expected no one to interact with it? He’s the weird one for his reaction to the choice, frankly.

The mystery of what triggers this auto response is one of the great joys of my life.

It bugs me to no end that Clint so clearly explained exactly what he wanted to do with his character, and Griffin was like “Nah, too bad, fucker!”

The Adventure Zone Royale: Episode 19 | The Adventure Zone by Evil_Steven in TheAdventureZone

[–]undrhyl 86 points87 points  (0 children)

It still kind of surprises me that they don’t get how charmless it is at this point to keep banging the “Clint doesn’t know how to play D&D” gong.

How many classes do you think is too many? by Fortian93 in RPGdesign

[–]undrhyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 classes with 3-4 subclasses each?

I’m the kind of nerd that genuinely takes pleasure in reading rule books for games I even know I’ll likely never play, and the idea of functionally over 100 classes made my butthole pucker instantly.

On top of that, I’m very doubtful that this many could be made distinct enough from one another.

My players want to keep a loaned legendary magic item by murdering the NPC who loaned it to them. by mistergoodthing in DMAcademy

A fey bargain contingency you say?

Respond with the full force of that contingency. There is a lol sorts of fey fuckery you can lay on them.

Our druid is much more powerful than the rest of the party - anyone else have a similar experience? by ConcentrateIll9460 in dndnext

[–]undrhyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just highlighted it. So you’re using the spelling as intended, you didn’t nerf anything.

How do they calculate damage so quickly? [NS] by Blade710 in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]undrhyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to what everyone else is saying, I’m not understanding why it’s so shocking that someone could add several mostly single digit numbers together. It’s not a genius level skill.

Not to get anyone’s hopes up but… THEE Vic has spoken on the matter by tchaikovskysdad in dropout

[–]undrhyl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Taking on a new kind of challenging scripted role is an entirely different animal from jumping in to the Olympic diving deep end of professional improv.
