Q: Do you make saves against the Web spell as you move through it?

Medix2Inspired by this question I am wondering how exactly the web spell works. It states (emphasis mine): Each creature that starts its turn in the webs or that enters them during its turn must make a Dexterity saving throw. I believe that this means that if you are not in the webs and enter the...

@ACuriousMind ... or anyone else who might be interested, too: it looks like there's going to be a demo of Fellowship soon, so how's availability for next Saturday?

@V2Blast I think most "most X think Y" statements are just uncited attempts to present one's own opinion as a consensus
(Yes, the ironic nature of my statement is intentional)
 
7:41 AM
I ran two games with two people each at the con, and it was good! Had a lot of conversations too.
Script Change was accepted as "oh, nice" and nobody squawked. The metaphor and the cards on the table made it super easy to just roll it into the "this is how we play the game" introduction.
It's so awesome to see people surprise themselves with their creative storytelling.
 
nice
 
@kviiri Yeah, most people agree :P

Q: Is Drow Elf a terrible race choice for Tales of the Yawning Portal?

daze413My friend is going to GM Tales of the Yawning Portal hardcover and I am thinking about making a Drow character. However, I am worried about their Sunlight Sensitivity feature and how it'll affect my build that is dependent on getting Advantage a lot. How prominent is the Sun in this adventure?...

Q: Can you negate disadvantage on throwing a net by using the Lunging Attack maneuver of the Battle Master fighter?

Amethyst WizardThe Battle Master fighter's Lunging Attack maneuver (PHB, p. 74) increases reach of a weapon by 5 feet. Could you choose to increase the short range of the net from 5 feet to 10 feet? This would allow a character to attack with net at 10 feet and avoid close range disadvantage. Do you forgo addi...

Today was the carpet washing day
One of my favorite Summertime activities
 
@kviiri Oh yeah? Is it one of those things that just feels really good to do?
 
@Rubiksmoose definitely
...well ok, it's a bit mental gymnastics, but brushing away in the sun feels kinda nice.
 
@kviiri Nah, I completely get it I think.
 
3:25 PM
We have these public carpet washing spots, our usual one is by a nice little park
Quite pleasant milieau to get stuff done
 
@BESW Grats! Glad to hear that it went well.

@BESW Oh thats awesome.

I hate the day ball

hey there @Zachiel, how're things going?
 
@ACuriousMind No worries. But you are interested in seeing Fellowship at work?
 
@Shalvenay Seeing the opposition crashed feels bad. Seeing the NPC allies suffer all the damage in the fight feels even worse, but that's what a DM does, right? :P
 
@Zachiel oof
 
@Zachiel The needs of the Many (uh, PCs) outweighs the needs of the Few (the NPCs). Mr Spock as DM.
 
@Shalvenay still, what are the PCs doing wrong? Just having high AC and Dex builds on the frontliners and hitting with touch attacks (bombs and guns mainly) or spell-like (not Spell-like) maneuvers.
Maybe I should have had the NPCs fly too but it looked like a waste of resources in this situation

Q: Why would an Inquisitive rogue choose to use Insightful Fighting as opposed to using their Cunning Action to Hide?

L0neGamerInquisitive rogues get access to a new bonus-action option, Insightful Fighting (XGtE, p. 46): At 3rd level, you gain the ability to decipher an opponent’s tactics and develop a counter to them. As a bonus action, you can make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature you can see that isn’t...

hey there @KorvinStarmast
 
9:24 PM
@Shalvenay did not realize I was still alive and well in chat. Howdy. About to make spaghetti sauce. You?
 
@KorvinStarmast alright here, will you be around tonight, or are you still not feeling up to it?
(we won't have ToA, but trog was looking at running GSS)
 
Feeling better, I'll be able to be around, wife over at a friend's tonight.
I will check in with you in about an hour.

@Glazius Yep, it sounds rather interesting
