If I place an enemy or individual in a set of dimensional shackles (I've already placed instant summons on the shackles), and I summon the shackles to me, what happens?
As I read the description of the spell and the shackles, I notice a few things:
The individual can't teleport away from the s...
@MageintheBarrel Please know that a lot of regulars in this room tend to come by and catch up on the transcript, responding to or commenting on things as they go. It's a pretty frequent occurrence to see someone come in here and drop five or six replies to hours- or even days-old messages. If you don't want to be on the receiving end of that just kindly ask people not to necro your conversations.
(And be ready to do so patiently, a bunch of times. Lots of people do it around here, and I don't know that any of us are in the habit of noticing anyone in particular to not include that way. So it'll take some training, I'd assume.)
On the other hand, I don't think I've ever seen anybody respond with the same "you don't get it" type of statement four times in a row like that before, either. That does feel unnecessary and pushy to me.
This would probably work better when the Druid has the option to stay indefinitely in Wild Shape form (usually starting around level 16-18, when a single use of Wild Shape lasts 8-9 hours).
In any case, can a Druid Wild Shaped as a horse equip and use magical horseshoes?
I feel that anyone who responds to a chat history as they peruse it rather than collecting their thoughts for a time when they've gotten the whole picture is pretty sus.
So I really love my players, I just want to say this. XD
I threw an incredibly difficult Drow encounter at them and they basically leveraged a bunch of defensive advantages to turn the fight winnable, including (wisely) taking out the Spellcaster at the beginning of combat before she had a chance to do anything.
I'm so proud.
Two of the four players ended up going unconscious during the fight, but they did easily avoid any party member dying.
This Roll20 data breach is old news, but it seems that some Roll 20 users were unaware of it, so I'm reposting it here in case someone needs to be reminded to change a password.
Safety Jam:The point of TTRPGs is to have fun. Encouraging folks to create both new safety tools AND games that weave safety tools into their core mechanics in unique and interesting ways. Hosted by ammourazz and Pammu.

I have an idea for the jam, but I need to rubber-duck it with people who have moderate familiarity with TTRPG design, Star Trek TNG, several safety tools, and infectious-madness horror stories/games.
Two of our players' characters have had (since the beginning) a very 'pig-tail pulling' relationship from day one. One is a high lady, the other a rougher sea-man. Little fireballs aimed at armpits, lots of insults and little poison quills stabs...you get the picture. Both players seem good with ...
@BESW Speaking of which, I've been pointed to this related fillable form for negotiating what elements the players do/don't agree to. I'm not sure if you're already aware of it. If not, perhaps you would find it useful.
(Personally I have a huge issue with there not being a midpoint between green and yellow stances [given how they were phrased when I read the document], but I'm sure not everyone has the same concerns, and it's not like it can't be improved.)
Oh yes. I'm glad it exists and it seems to be a great tool for many but I have concerns of my own that the form itself isn't as nuanced as the text around it.
My own issue is that it seems to draw a sharp line between being enthusiastic about an element, and being okay it being present in veiled form. There are many things that I am indifferent about - perfectly willing to engage with them if it's fun for others, not interested enough in them to increase the chance of them coming up, and don't see a point of decreasing their prominence either. That would fall between green and yellow as they were described in the form when I read it.
@BESW Yeah, well that's what I thought the new idea was. Offering the copyable form that can then be linked to groups and polled anonymously (I think). Again, sorry if this specific implementation is something you were already aware of. At a glance the starred links seemed to be leading to the originals only.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. (I was unsure if the displayed date is the date of the document's creation, or its movement to the directory, and didn't track whether some of the people involved may be the same people.)
Do you think there is a space/need for further improvement of anonymity past the state of the digital form?
This question about a drow wizard who received the Wild Talent feat was closed as Too Broad. It should not have been.
Per this meta discussion, questions like this are supported here, and we have dozens of successful examples. This questions lays out exactly what levels the character already has...
@NautArch Not a bad idea per se, but I'm not sure they're comparable issues
The older one is definitely one player being upset by how (they perceive) another player is being treated. The newer one could be that, but from the context it seems the others are ok and OP is more upset by the exchange itself.
@MikeQ Yeah, that's why i wasn't sure. It could be related, but it could also be unrelated. I do think it's more likely that OP is just upset and isn't about sticking up for someone.
I do hope they give us some more info about the other players. If it's all males where one is portraying a female and doing it, it changes the dynamic a bit.
So far I was able to figure out most things I needed to do in anydice on my own and with help of various posts in forums, however in this case my math knowledge fails me.
How do I calculate the probability to roll for example "1,1,1,1,1-4,1-4" with 7d6 and such? And how do I code that in anydice...
@JohnP I never read any of the book and to be fair from the few I get I am not interested to (not my genre) but I still know thanks to the constant bugging by my coworkers.
And ye all thought we ponies were the annoying ones trying to get people to watch MLP
@NautArch anyway, just in case, sorry if that sounded rude or anything. I was just joking on that line.
@Derpy Alas, they were coworkers from my office that closed and they let us all go a couple years ago. But thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you’re at it, why don’t you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?
(IMHO a hugely better movie than GoT ever aspired to be).
The title of my question probably isn't great, but I can't think of the wording to describe my question; what I'm referring to is when I see things like this:
Blah blah ?
Instead of:
Blah blah?
It's usually question marks I see this with, but sometimes I see the same with colons or el...
@Rubiksmoose Not sure how I missed the comment previously, but Lady/Man question OP did say that they were just an acquaintance of this group. I have a feeling they didn't know what they were getting involved with.
Plus, those are probably names they assumed because 1) they're edgy as hell and 2) the group is known as The Black Order so they probably took those names for theming.
@Yuuki Oh yeah that is a much better mentality for the show I think. Is it because you don't like horror that much or because ST was not meeting your expectations for a horror show?
On that mage hand question...the picture they show...I can't find it titled anywhere. I made a bad assumption and I want to make sure I didn't miss anything. DOes anyone see where illustrations are titled in Xanathar's?
@Rubiksmoose I am not a fan of horror. I actually stopped at the first three episodes because of the gory parts because I don't like horror and I especially don't like bloody horror.
@NautArch For sure the problem is that the person asking the question is uncomfortable about what went on. I think that Theik cottoned on to that early on, but the comments back and forth became a distraction.
@KorvinStarmast Absolutely. Just not sure what the events were or why specifically they're uncomfortable. A lot of assumptions made in order to answer - which is always dangerous.
Heck, I was convinced that it was only OP (and maybe DM) that had an issue, but after rereading a few times I no longer am.
I can get behind a VTC here. I'm not at the point where I'd vote it necessarily (but maybe just because I'm way too confident in my reading), but I wouldn't VtRO either.
But I do think it would be vastly improved with clarifications
@NautArch I do think only OP has an issue. They never mention any other person being upset and say explicitly that everyone else seemed to not care about anything that transpired.
@Rubiksmoose and then "Lady character is obviously furious and is now doing silent treatment. Man character never apologizes but repeated states he was 'only trying to make peace.'"
@Rubiksmoose Even if it's just OP feeling the discomfort, and there may be other sides to the story, the fact remains that they want to discuss playstyles and comfort level with the rest of the group. That's not close-worthy.
Can you do a green-flame blade cantrip (duration of 1 round), do an action surge and then a normal attack action with extra attack and have all attacks have the green-flame blade bonus damage since it have a duration of 1 round and should also work with opportunity attack in the same round?
Ah, related versus dupe. Hence two separate comments. :)
@Someone_Evil No worries, I deleted the first comment, and then added it later after the "dupe" stuff to avoid the confusion. If it could confuse you, it could confuse someone else. :) Thanks for the feedback.
Are those dupes though? The current question explicitly asks about using action surge which was not the confusion point of the linked dupe (who thought they could just attack normally).
Hmm... the dupe target asks whether Extra Attack works when casting GFB, wereas the new asks whether GFB is also applied to attacks made when using Action surge to then take the Attack action. That doesn't seem like the same problem
Specifically, the Matt Colville way of rolling stats is:
Roll 4d6, drop the lowest value die for 1 stat;
If this roll is lower than 8, reroll it;
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have a set of 6 stats greater than 8;
If there are not at least 2 values of 15 or higher in this set, drop it entirely...
@Rubiksmoose Well I was writing an answer and then some rude orange banner told be the question had been closed and that I couldn't submit. This banner (and submit block) does not go away when the question is reopened, amusingly.
Some RPGs have SRDs. Wikipedia tells me that they are System Reference Documents, but that it's largely a D&D thing, and doesn't explain why they exist. Only that they do.
This answer suggests there is content missing from the SRD that is found in the books, but the Fate SRD seems (at a glance) ...

As a DM, I like to award items to my players. These may not be in the module I'm currently running, so I often draw from the DMG. I recently found that XGtE also has a list of magical items (this shows both lists).
I can use D&D Beyond to filter magical items by sourcebook, but there are a mill...
General Advice from a N00b: Make sure it is specific question that can have a specific answer. Make sure you have documented your attempts, and failure-conditions.
it's relatively unused just due to the fact that it only exists on a handful of devices (namely TI calculators). I'm trying to be patient but it's not easy when it's the last piece I need to be able to finish a project I've been working on
It's that question yeah, idk if "pad" is the right word as the goal is to center it and remove the curly brackets and commas, it just so happens that spaces are the only way to remove them.
You have list of Numbers (doesn't matter how you got them, just what format they are in). You need them formatting in a certain manner. Have you tried anything? "I thought <x> might work, but it gave result <y>"
I'm struggling to find a way of asking how to fix my current dilemma. :(
I'm sure just bumping your question is frowned upon, but a Clarification Edit might keep it visible/top-of-lists? ;)
