If you're in a row with enemies directly on each side, you're being flanked.quote:10 feet - Michael If you're in the same row as an enemy, you are also flanked if enemies in the same row outnumber you. Moving from one row to another if an enemy is present in either row provokes an opportunity attack, right? I like this, it has strong Final Fantasy vibes. Matter of fact if I ever do properly pick up designing a FFV-like tabletop (fat chance that means work  ) you may have just cracked one of my biggest problem issues.

I'm eyeing the stuff I came up with for a Final Boss Fight and I'm getting the urge to grab my group's character sheets and play through the thing by myself just to see if I've made any glaring errors with the mechanics that would only reveal themselves during play. Is that as objectively insane as it feels? I have less than a 100% positive track record with custom stuff and the Final Boss Fight had better be good.

loving fantasy art, man. I'm making tokens for a new 4E game and for 99% of monsters I immediately find something servicable googling for "D&D [monster]" or "pathfinder [monster]". And then I get to "female vampire" and whoops suddenly my image search results page looks like loving Suicide Girls. Do not even get me started on what you get for "D&D nymph." Would it be too  to ask around for a scan of a specific illustration here?

Thanks for the MTG tip and I'm gonna straight use that nymph image, too. What I really wanted to use was 8 or 16 bit sprites, but even after finding some decent spritesheets with good variety I'd have had to make edits to cover every creature and in the time it takes me to do five of those I can have 25 regular ones googled up and ready to go.

CaptCommy posted:Don't know if you've asked here yet, but this is my go-to when I need non-trash art: Hunting down the last few creatures. One type is humans corrupted by decades long Far Realm contact. This initially posed the problem that while I have an idea of what that would result in, all the pics I found that fit the bill were kinda too legitimately hosed up for casual elfgames. But I found some The Thing fanart which is really what I shoulda looked for in the first place.

My group's preparing to enter a new adventure and half the party is some kind of arcanist while the other is some sort of nature follower. In addition, one of the mages' backstory is "accident at the academy" and one of the naturists' is "my druid grove was killed by alchemist waste from the academy." I'm getting sad we're running a published module, because they're setting themselves up for conflict without prompting and establishing an interesting theme but it's just not what the adventure is about.

I was ready to roll with that, but he was a big behind the scenes player for about 1000 years and they didn't want to risk a millennium of changed history or they would have had the modrons on their rear end.

I still wonder if Wizards paid off the Escapist to act as a mouthpiece for Mearls under the guise of independent journalism, or if they just found a news outlet where they could be sure writers would side with him.

One of my players has taken to writing down all his rolls and giving us a hit percentage breakdown after every combat. Trying to decide whether I ask him to stop or give him post-battle rankings like in Bayonetta.

I don't think it was Oglaf. It might actually have been a Terry Pratchett footnote with some vague allusion to "no one ever wondered if all her hair was snakes" or something. It doesn't sound like Terry's style but that's the association right now.

Cartoon Violence posted:Hey, as long as it's not like for real bothering anyone I'll leave all the crazy or weird stuff in. If it's more fun for you that way, then that's great, I'll leave it as is. If everyone's having fun, that's what matters to me. On a sidenote: do anyone else's groups get much raunchier as the players get older and married, or just mine? e: once I described a village of half-elves on the edge of the elven forest and one player burst out "they only come out of the woods to gently caress" and I was like, okay, that is what it says in my notes but dang girl.

D&D in particular has too many races anyway, not just player races that have to each have their place in the world but also tons of varieties of goblin, kobold and orc, all of which are implied to have at least a degree of civilization and thus also call for being placed in a setting, and it's tough to do that without resorting to creature races as real world nationality analogues. These days I often have my players pick races from everything available, and whatever subset they pick is what civilized races there are in the world, period. Well, plus one or two for additional NPCs and/or antagonists. It makes for more interesting settings, too. You picked the Revenant, looks like in this world the dead sometimes come back spontaneously - maybe during the campaign we'll find out why.

My Max Landis experience: I watched the new Dirk Gently thing and it was loving rubbish that uses the whole "holistic" thing as an excuse to string contrived plot developments and seen-a-thousand-times scenes together and arrived at a happy ending apparently entirely by accident, whereupon they did a 180 on it because I guess focus test say shows need a cliffhanger. I'm baffled by how good a reception it's getting. It had some good scenes and interesting characters, that's the worst thing about it. It could have been pretty great.

I used Strike for our last Halloween game and we used chocolates for action points. It was a surprisingly effective incentive both to gain them and to use them, cause that's when you were allowed to eat any.

My take on Strike was almost the other way around: refluffing was super fun, spinning side stories out of handing out consequences and mitigating those was great, but actual combats lasted maybe 2-3 rounds and enemies were down in 2 hits and maybe you don't need three at will powers to handle that nor to impose conditions on an enemy that's going to die next hit anyway. But we only played a level 1 one-shot, it probably changes gear at higher levels.

Pretty much whenever I do think about making my own D&D clone (I never will but you know how it is, work is slow sometimes), Fort/Ref/Will as the basic ability scores is right up there on the list. Sometimes they get renamed to something like Strength/Speed/Spirit, sometimes not.
