I'm just riffing off Miniman saying nothing says "bigger than other swords" like the fullblade. Of course, it also says "requires Exotic Weapon Proficiency", which is not usually something you want weapons to say.
Is it wrong I just suddenly had the image a hulking half orc barbarian walking into a pub looking for a drink and quick work carrying a huge sword strapped to his back, and the sword just wont stop making crude jokes, innuendos about size and taunting all the other blades present.
Then specifically mentions the half giant fully plated palladin in the corner with twin scimitars and how hes compensating for not being able to wield a real weapon so he uses two swords more "accurately sized" for representation.
I suddenly feel like whenever the sword gets on his nerves too much he uses the small dagger strapped to his hip just because. The +1 vampiric dagger like Artemis Entrerri used against Drizzt
Under Call Lightning it says:
A storm cloud appears in the shape of a cylinder that is 10 feet tall with a 60-foot radius, centered on a point you can see within range directly above you. The spell fails if you can't see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if y...
An artillerist artificer gains use of an "eldritch cannon" as part of the subclass' abilities. It has several modes, one of which is force ballista, which allows the artillerist to fire it as a bonus action to do the following:
Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one c...
I noticed that the posts of the recent spam surge on Ask Ubuntu were all edited by community members into something like

On pages 46-47 of the DMG, under the section regarding the Astral Plane, it states:
Visitors occasionally stumble across the petrified corpse of a dead god.
Is there any lore about the composition of a dead god and the potential uses for it.
Yeah, if the die lacks symmetry between the faces it's unlikely to be balanced
There's also "long dice" or "barrel dice" that can be balanced despite having an unusual shape
I haven't seen anyone ever actually use a barrel die but I think they're conceptually neat. Especially as a substitute for d4 which doesn't really roll satisfyingly :-)
There's a lot of weird dice (there's always skew dice of course), but nearly any rectangular die won't be balanced without some very odd weight distribution simply because the surface area isn't evenly distributed
The problem with non-symmetric dice is that the probability of the faces will depend on material properties, both of the die and the surface it is rolled on
A fighter gets to hit something every round. An assassin can backstab someone if they are really lucky with their hide in shadows and move silently. A cleric with more than 13 wisdom gets more than one miracle (spell) and he can melee as well. But a magic user with an 18 intelligence gets one s...
@Shalvenay howdy, shal, I have resurfaced at WB.SE and have a link for you. This paper was a real eye opener when it was published and I hope that you find it at the least entertaining.
The one Korvin linked? Doesn't seem related to D&D, but as the intro says:
> The letter that follows takes us on a darkly imagined excursion into the future. [...] It goes without saying (I hope) that the coup scenario above is purely a literary device intended to dramatize my concern over certain contemporary developments affecting the armed forces, and is emphatically not a prediction.
