change my name posted:I believe a bag of holding opens into a demiplane, not the actual astral plane itself; that's why there's nothing in the item description about rupturing if brought into other planes, only other items that do the same Yeah I was thinking "extra-dimentional space" isn't necessarily a portal to another plane. It's a type of magic that distorts the amount of space that already exists. The Lady of Pain controls the space in Sigil too, but I don't think she would mind extra-dimensional spaces as much as personal portals.

Bags of holding open into an "extradimensional space". According to Crawford, that's not another plane, so I guess it's not a demiplane? Anyway, I don't see why they wouldn't work in Sigil... unless the mouth of the bag counts as a door...

I’ve been given the chance to take one level as cleric with my Star Druid. I’ll probably end up grabbing two overall, but any advice on the following domains? Grave, Peace, and Twilight seem the best suited for lore and mechanic reasons.

The sleep spell can straight up end entire encounters.

Twilight is far and away the strongest Cleric domain, for whatever that's worth. Just a solid front-loaded kit all around

Sorry if this breaks the rules a bit much. But is there any good TTRPG system for Elder Scrolls in general? Kinda want to homebrew an adventure in Yokuda. If there is no good system I might just stick to 5th edition.

I don't, as an aarakocra, but the others do. My issue with Twilight is the proficiency in martial and heavy armor is wholly wasted on me. The other things sound useful and handy. Peace domain is all around useful it feels, but the flavor is slightly less compatible. I've struck out grave from the running. Being lvl 4, I think I'll take one more level in druid before considering it, also allowing the narrative room to build into it.

Twilight domain is just really strong overall, and don't discount the heavy armor prof: you might be able to find wood or dragon scale armor later down the line (Also, is there anything RAW in 5th edition about druids not being able to wear metal armor? When I played a star druid, my character's backstory was that he was a former disgruntled wizard who joined this learned college of the stars to help safeguard knowledge of and for the future. I don't think he or his enclave would have given two shits if the opportunity ever came up to wear metal armor)

Obviously the solution is to go ahead and wear the heavy armor and just nude up every time you want to fly. Also always fly. Naked.

Just finished DMing the Tides of Retribution quest in Wildemount. My players threw me a curve ball by wanting to vet the person who is going to be purchasing the Rod of Retribution to make sure it is never used for evil purposes again. So now I need to come up with a legitimate buyer who would purchase rare and dangerous artifacts through Revelry pirates.

They begrudgingly work with the Revelry because the pirates naturally have a lot of interaction with Sahuagin (or at least more than most people). Another option would be someone from the Cobalt Soul who keeps an eye out for powerful and/or dangerous items the Revelry recovers and buys them in order to keep them out of the wrong hands.

Yeah the Cobalt Soul would be someone who would legitimately be a group who would want to catalogue and protect powerful artifacts, who "mostly" are good guys.

Someone posted about it on the System Mastery discord.Tinker on the discord posted:Here are the Level Up A5e rules. The online tools are currently in an open-beta in which they haven't yet made accounts for so anyone can read them. There are currently a few errors (the Back to Back maneuver, for instance, says it is an action rather than a bonus action) but most of what's on here is correct. Unless I'm misremembering what Level Up A5e is and it's a fan thing?

Not that they can't. So theoretically a druid could be forced into metal armor against their will and they'd suffer no penalty for using it....but by raw a druid will never choose to don metal armor

KingKalamari posted:"See, Druids won't wear metal armor, it doesn't say anything about BEING metal armor!" In 3e it did: IRONWOOD BODY [WARFORGED] Your body is crafted with a layer of hard ironwood that cushions blows. Prerequisites: Warforged, 1st level only. Benefit: Your armor bonus increases to +3 and you gain damage reduction 2/slashing. You are considered to be wearing light armor, and have a +4 maximum Dexterity bonus to AC, a –3 penalty on all skill checks to which armor check penalties apply (Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Sleight of Hand, Swim, and Tumble), and an arcane spell failure chance of 20%. Normal: Without this feat, your warforged character has an armor bonus of +2. Special: Unlike most feats, this feat must be taken at 1st level during character creation. A warforged with this feat who then takes Improved Damage Reduction (see page 55 of the EBERRON Campaign Setting) can choose to gain damage reduction 1/adamantine or improve the damage reduction granted by this feat by 2. Unlike the Adamantine Body and Mithral Body feats, warforged druids who take this feat can cast druid spells and use the druid’s supernatural and spell-like abilities.

Warforged aren't just robots anyhow, they're not entirely made of or coated in metal. They're a mix of wood, stone, and metal that varies from individual to individual. If we were judging druid accessibility by the presence of some metal in the body, humans wouldn't qualify either, we're 2.5% metal!

Ooooh, Cobalt Soul is a good idea! Yeah, I think I’ll go with that! Thanks for the suggestion!

Arivia posted:In 3e it did: This actually got me curious enough to dig out my pdf of the AD&D Player's Handbook to see if the "Druids can't use metal armor" thing was always as arbitrary as it is today and...Yeah, pretty much. There's just a one sentence that says "metallic armor spoils their magical powers" but we're never given any sort of explanation as to why that's the case, what sort of design decision motivated this or what sort of thematic or literary thing it was meant to invoke. Just a one sentence restriction on the type of armor they can't wear that is somehow completely different from the existing armor restrictions of the Wizard? I think I've brought it up in discussion before, but D&D has such a weird and nebulous idea as to how it wants its class mechanics to intersect the fiction of its settings. A lot of the basic classes, especially in the earliest editions, are designed to be very generic and at least somewhat removed from the fiction of the setting (Fighters and Wizards being the two biggest examples since, at they're core, they're just "Character who fights with weapons" and "Character who does magic") but then, as we moved into AD&D the new classes introduced start becoming VERY specific in how their mechanics interact with the assumed narrative of the setting and, just by their existence, introduce these weird bits of universal setting info that's always tied to their existence (Paladins have to be lawful good regardless of the deity they serve, to progress above a certain level Druids need to have a Highlander duel with a Druid of higher level than themselves). And then we end up with a situation like that feat, that exists specifically to let a particular race get around an arbitrary restriction that was established two editions previously for no clear reason that none of the designers want to interrogate
