The victory with the boys' behaviour has been short lived. I cut them a deal that if they showed me they could behave and follow the rules for a week (or at least 5 days) they would get their Gameboys back. That night the oldest (who brought it up just as he went to bed) stole mine from a room that I told them not to go into.
@Ben I’m not done stressing about it though cause there’s a couple weeks till I get results (during which time I have finals) and then months until the college board gets back to me on whether I actually qualify for accommodations
@BardicWizard As soon as I'm done with the thing, I immediately stop stressing about it. The answer will come when it comes, in the meantime I can't do anything about it. When the answers do come then yeah, the stress comes back.
For the Aberrant Mind sorcerer origin, it's lv 18 ability, Warping Implosion, reads as follows:
You can unleash your aberrant power as a space-warping anomaly. As an action, you can teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of you. Immediately after you disappear, each creature...
@ThomasMarkov I debate opening a Meta about these questions. Though perhaps it's just not worth it since we don't have a huge surplus of similar questions causing lots of repeated answers, hmm...
I used to have this game, not any more. It must be at least 10-15 years old, but possibly older. I don't remember the rules, only that you had to follow a certain path with your pyramids, and that they could be stacked in a way (perhaps blocking off others?). Searching on the internet, I have fou...
@AncientSwordRage I've never played it, or know anything about the source material, but I've got a friend who tapped me to review her re-write of the rules for better clarity, since I knew nothing about it so I'd be a good test subject.
It was designed by James Ernest, with Rothfuss' approval.
> Ernest persisted despite Rothfuss' misgivings however and developed the game with his blessing. When he and Rothfuss played it for the first time, Rothfuss was amazed.
@AncientSwordRage I interpreted it as an acknowledgement with one hand (as if passing a stranger on the street), then a vigorous wave with the other (once realising it is a close friend), while turning around to greet them.
@illustro Makes a lot more sense now. When I first read the question, it really did seem as trivial as the example I gave in my comment, "Can tieflings use longswords?" But it makes a lot more sense now that you would put that out there.
"13s" become "1s" & "1s" become "13s" and a trivial rot13 implementation is complete (minus some elementary encoding and decoding from letters to numbers)
@NautArch plenty of subclasses are able to damage themselves (wizard casts fireball on top of themselves). In this case it's a sorcerer choosing to end it's turn within 30 feet of where it left, knowing full well it's just warped the space that was there
@illustro well, the wizard doesn't have to include themselves. And specialist fireball wouldn't. THis seems like a specialist move.
@illustro I had read the question that OP was asking about it generally and not the case where they return, but either way it seems a little silly for it to impact.
@NautArch they did...they allow the subclass to teleport anywhere up to 120ft away (similar to Thunderstep). If the character is stupid enough to use a move intended to allow them to escape from a nasty situation to a safe situation, to instead teleport right back to the nasty situation...then they deserve any pubishment they get
(note I'm making the distinction here between character and player...the player may be doing it for fun, or as a mistake...the character on the other hand should know better)
@AncientSwordRage oh I am very aware of that....but at the same time, D&D is an exceptions based game, and this does not create an exception to fall damage rules
The following are all related or relatively similar questions about effects that deal damage without specifying a type being combined with effects that deal multiple types of damage at once:
Can I choose which damage type my Sneak Attack does if my weapon does multiple types?
When a ranged attac...
@AncientSwordRage that needs to be a disclaimer for about 1 in 5 questions that devolve into designer reasons , I suspect. Or, that's the t-shirt that makes you some money: D&D is (hilariously so) not a physics simulator
@KorvinStarmast I'm not as enamoured by that write up....because he doesn't destroy stuff in normal lie, it just seems something someone wrote to be controversial (?)
If an Agrarian society (any community whose economy is based on producing and maintaining crops and farmland.) had developed a way to cultivate Cable Bacteria into large basic circuits (able to do basic arithmetic, but at a larger scale that modern day circuits. Think the size of a breadboard but...
@KorvinStarmast Having read this, my only gripe is with the assumption that gold kryptonite would remove all supposed kryptonian powers from the sperm, but then, once an egg was fertilized, they would suddenly reappear.
The spell wall of stone allows those that might be trapped by it a chance to escape during the action in which it is 'springing into existence'.
If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On...
The new and updated Warforged's Integrated Protection feature, detailed in Ebberon Rising from the Last War, now states:
Integrated Protection
Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor.

You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor [....
