  • Different tables have different objectives for sure. Some groups are in it for the collaborative storytelling (more role-playing than game). Others want the combat and builds and strategy (more game than role-playing).

    Helps to iron that sort of thing out in session 0, but definitely frustrating when not everyone is upfront about what they want.



  • Oh yeah, not to defend it because it is OP as hell, but there’s a lot more at the core of 5E that needs fixing, it just seems odd to single out a spell from a sourcebook most tables don’t use anyways, given that it’s setting-specific and was never compiled into later core books like Tasha’s.

    To me it just read more like MTG power creep making its way into an MTG setting. I don’t know if that indicates that it was developed by a separate team entirely but the entire thing was definitely just a cash grab to leverage their other properties.








  • I suppose this scenario is actually somewhat reassuring, because the guy who killed 12 people deserves whatever misfortune falls upon him. You wouldn’t have to feel bad stealing his knowledge and memories, and could also go to the local guards to turn him in with the knowledge you’ve obtained.

    Though good luck sleeping at night with the knowledge of what it felt like to murder 12 people with your own hands and see the life fade from their eyes.
