@Medix2 what the what, sage advice

Natural Language was clearly a great idea (sarcastic)

There's also: "Actions and bonus actions aren't interchangeable."

Bardic Wizard

@Medix2 oh yeah

Best idea WOTC ever had, right? </sarcasm>

@Medix2 I just need to make, like, a "4e did it" sticker or something, don't I?

Q: Would the 6th level Shepherd Druid's Mighty Summoner feature works on summoned creatures not made from spells

To clarify, when I say "summoned creatures not made from spells", I mean summons that are from class features and the like, so the Shadow Sorcerer's Hound of Ill Omen, the Hexblade's Accursed Specter, Raven Queen's Sentinel Raven (tho less hp on this would be nice) and the Beastmaster/Drakewarden...

@HotRPGQuestions somebody’s playing an echo knight lately...

I logged back into ENWorld for the first time in 13 years and looked at some of my old posts.... it was painful

I did find 3.5e stats I had created for bizarre creatures like Crab Kobold hybrids

MikeQ

Crabolds?

Bardic Wizard

@AncientSwordRage why did you log back in? If it was just for the old posts I would highly recommend against doing that sort of thing. I had a similar experience looking at last year’s history “essay”

Carcer

I had much the same feeling looking back over my posts in my facebook timeline

entirely unrelatedly I have deleted almost everything I ever posted on my facebook timeline

AncientSwordRage

@BardicWizard I got an email and I was curious, I was not prepared for the cringe. Thankfully I didn't find that distressing in the least

I would definitely be fine deleting some of the posts

but that Crobold statline, hah, that was worth it

Bardic Wizard

21:35

@AncientSwordRage oof

AncientSwordRage

I've moved on, so it really wasn't too bad for me. I know that's not the case for everyone

AncientSwordRage

21:57

How did the PbP go, @BardicWizard?

Bardic Wizard

@AncientSwordRage still going

Pretty well, far as I can tell

AncientSwordRage

nice!

I'm a little envious (in a good way, I'm happy for you) as I have a cthulhu mythos story I want to run myself

Bardic Wizard

22:11

@AncientSwordRage Cthulhu mythos is both cool and horribly discriminatory

but pretty interesting as a concept

I do enjoy the myths I grew up with and especially el chupacabra

Which is kinda why theres a hybrid Cthulhu/Chupacabra thing there, since I read some of lovecraft’s works growing up

AncientSwordRage

That's cool, I also read slot of his stuff growing up thought not all of it yet

I think my favourite is Whisperer in The Dark.

Bardic Wizard

I’m pretty sure what I read was abridged. Little kids do not need to read some of that stuff.

And it was in the elementary school library school so actually I’m completely certain they were abridged versions or stories by others about some of the mythos creatures

Morning all

@AncientSwordRage [gets comfy with my cthulhu plushy and madness counter]

Some would say that I am an acolyte of Azathoth

AncientSwordRage

@BardicWizard there's not much to abridge really

Ben

Well, not acolyte. Certainly not aspect or messenger. Maybe "plaything"? But even that would not really fit. Lol

We're having solar put in today... I can tell I'm not going to get much work done. Hard to concentrate when there are workmen using power tools on the other side of the roof & wall next to you.

Blades in the Dark group last night had a nice moment of "play to find out what happens". They were trying to get a new lair. They had permission from a gang boss to muscle in on a business that was behind on their payments and use part of their building. I was expecting they'd go there armed to the teeth and make a show of force.

Instead, they followed the plant manager for a while and found that he was paying his protection money to a different gang. So now it looks like they're going to make a show of force against those guys.

But what they end up doing is ambush the plant manager on his way home, throw him in the back of a van, and just extort him personally.

@MarkWells nice.

@MarkWells cut out the middle man lol

AncientSwordRage

@Adeptus sweet though, in the end

Q: When the War Caster feat lets my Echo Knight fighter cast a spell instead of the Manifest Echo feature's opportunity attack, where is it cast from?

This question is inspired by the following one: Can an Echo Knight with the War Caster feat use cantrips for opportunity attacks made by their Echo? Part of the Echo Knight fighter's Manifest Echo feature states (EGtW, p. 183; emphasis mine): When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of yo...
