Arivia posted:"True, I would not call them low quality." is a statement of truth value. The truth value is attached to the action of "calling them low quality." Because MonsterEnvy has already called the maps low quality, this statement is easily demonstrably false. He is lying. Jesus Christ

MonsterEnvy posted:I am not great with words. I intended it to be more on the level of "True, I should not have called them low quality". Sorry I messed up my sentence. Mainly for the fact you then felt the need to nitpick it and make a deal out of what was me agreeing with you. Okay. Apology accepted.

They're low quality maps in the context of being an actually useful living space, high quality in artwork (disclaimer: I like that style of art)

I've been trying to figure something out for a day or so and figured I'd check here. Let's say two people are fighting, Bill and Ted. Neither has true sight or see invisibility. Bill casts Greater Invisibility on himself. Bill now has advantage to hit Ted, and Ted now has disadvantage to hit Bill. Ted then casts Greater Invisibility on himself as well. Would the advantage and disadvantage from Ted becoming invisible cancel out those from Bill's invisibility? Are two guys who can't see each other equally able to fight as two guys who can see each other just fine? Similarly, what about two humans fighting in a dark room?

The big advantage (hah) of spells like darkness and fog cloud is that many spells require LoS, so it can be cast on the melee or part of it to neutralize enemy casters.

That survey is actually cool because half the questions were "of course this is the whole point of playing!!" And then a bunch more my response was "only an idiot would want to do this" so it was fun to just see perspectives I've never, ever considered (they are all wrong and bad of course)

Thoughts on Revised Ranger vs PHB Ranger in TYOL 2018? I have a new player joining my group, helped them roll a ranger and only just read that it's widely considered dogshit and there's this UA that rewrites the class. They've also chosen beastmaster and will be understandably disappointed when they find out they can take an action or order their panther to wreck poo poo. Is it better balanced? Too far in the other direction?

Too far in the other direction? PHB Ranger is bad except for Gloom Stalker. Revised Ranger Gloom Stalker is actually really good. PHB Beastmaster is dogshit. RR Beast Conclave is less bad but still meh. I strongly advice against playing BM, especially for new players. Having a combat pet is simply not a well-supported gameplay mechanic in this system.

It's weird the number of concessions 5e makes toward balance, it's the one thing you'd think they'd leave behind from 4e.

Infinite Karma posted:It's not even poorly supported, they just purposely made any mechanic where players use the MM incredibly weak. Not quite. Moon Druid is incredibly strong levels 2-6, and after that it doesn't so much fall off as rather has a brief lull in power before the elemental forms. Conjure Elemental can be pretty fun, but much better if you can just bind them rather than maintain concentration. Conjure Animals and Animate Dead (especially with a Necromancer) are outright cancerous. The problem isn't effectiveness, but that copying MM statblocks is strong in the lamest, most boring way possible, that also happens to be highly time-consuming unless both the player and DM have a great and agile handle on things. And then comes Beast Master, who on top of the above mentioned problems commits the crimes of adding half a dozen fiddly mechanics to your pokemon and being weak despite the added effort.
