1·4 months agoYes, so? There are just 5 permanent members (china, france, russia, uk, usa), all others are temporary
In my group there are at least these patterns:
- are you a moon druid?
- are you attacking everything, always, under the guise of protecting the party?

There can be multiple upstream servers involved in responding to your single request

There’s a sound version available at https://webwoordenboek.nl/uitspraak/zebra
The flag from the thumbnail is that of Fryslân, nowadays a Dutch province.
It does not show hearts! The red parts are ‘pompeblêden’ (leaf of the water lily), and should specifically not be heart shaped according to the official instruction for creating the flag.

4·6 months agoI have used both types of distance calculation in different campaigns. I agree that the ‘alternating’ rule is better, but I’ve also seen that it confuses some players and in that case slows down combat.
I’m currently using the phb rule. My players have just gained access to fireball and similar AoE spells, and I use the actual circular spell effects
So far I have not seen the players actively abusing this, so for now I’m just ignoring the weird distance effects
Mathematically, a circle is defined by all points that have the same distance to the center point. In d&d on a grid, distances are measured in 5ft squares, where a diagonal distance is the same as an orthogonal distance. This results in mathematical circles being square on a 5e/5.5e d&d grid
so, one fireball, having a mathematical 20 ft radius, can completely fill a square room of 40x40 ft.
Yes I know the book has a circular template for spell effects. However, using that on a grid has the weird effect that a target can be in a place that is 20 ft removed from the center (diagonally) but at the same time not be in the area of effect of a fireball cast on that center point

“Are you the only one in your group who GMs?”
I am in 3 groups, in 2 of them I am GM. From these 2, in one I’m the only GM; in the other there are 3 GM’s.
A bit hard to answer questions like this on a 5 point scale.
That is true, for the 2014 (5e) version
The 2024 / 5.5e version rules no longer have the “two-weapon fighting” subsection - the rule is now merged into the description of the ‘light’ weapon property
Not completely right
(5.5e) Two-weapon fighting is a Fighting Style that only some classes can get.
Dual Wielder is a general Feat that any character of level 4 with str or dex 13 or higher can take.
Anyone can dual wield when their main weapon has the Light property.

Wow. That’s such a brilliant new idea –except that across the North Sea this has been possible for several years now. A so called ‘dynamic contract’ prices electricity based on supply and demand, which changes every hour. Sometimes you pay more than the ‘flat rate’, but also sometimes you even get paid for using electricity.

I expect this could be an interesting movie, I have missed these parts. They are less directly connected to the story of the ring (except where the Nazgûl appear), but I think it adds to the understanding of the background events occurring at that time in Middle Earth.

The planet Dune is special, because only there Spice, the most important chemical in the universe, is found.
Several noble families and organizations battle to gain control over the Spice.
—SPOILERS below for parts 1 & 2 of the series—
One of the families is set up to be murdered, but their young son survives. He is rescued by the planet’s locals.
These locals are fierce, and they are many.
—SPOILERS for part 3 & the rest of the books—
Lead by the noble son, the local people rise up and conquer the universe. The son becomes the new emperor.
He realizes that the universe – and mankind – is vulnerable because of the single source of Spice. Under the influence of Spice, he sees and enforces a Golden Path, which will eventually ensure mankind’s survival but destroy the empire.
