A wizard's familiar was recently petrified by a magical item (similar effect to a medusa). The item's description states that only spells such as greater restoration or wish can reverse the effect.
Right now, the wizard is carrying around a stone owl, so RAW, what are his options?
If he dismisses...
Let's take this stat block as an example. It says the creature has +2 DEX and +6 Stealth. Does the Stealth bonus already include the ability modifier, making a stealth check for this creature essentially a 1D20 + 6? Or would it be 1D20 + 8 because of the +2 DEX?

Jay Dragon asks on twitter "how does your ttrpg make space (mechanically, structurally, safety-tools-wise, etc.) for someone who just wants to draw pictures of the characters / hang out with their friends / disengage from the rules structure? do your games have space for those players?"

@AncientSwordRage Bit of a mixed bag, since part of the efficiency of our vaccine stations is that they're manned by the national guard, which our governor was able to negotiate partly because we helped that Navy plague ship back in April, and it was military subsequently breaking quarantine that helped make the virus endemic here.
@trogdor Nah, I was busy being vaccine buddies with a friend in California who entirely coincidentally was under observation for her shot at the exact same time.
@kviiri First it was just texting each other our vaccine cards and shouting "SAME!" but now we're checking in with each other periodically to make sure we're okay since she doesn't have somebody in her house to do that right now.
I bet you could take that dice rolling system and adapt it to a few other settings like Dr Who (replace phone keys with TARDIS controls) or BTTF (replace the dual pad with the date display)
@BESW I thought it was more down to individual immune response
Anecdotally, there's also factors like age (she's about ten years younger than me) and other things.
Younger people seem to be getting hit harder by the vaccine, which is odd. Though the real dramatic changes are in the elderly.
A friend in her early 60s got laid out with nausea and exhaustion for a whole day by her second Pfizer; a friend in her 80s, didn't have any whole-body symptoms at all.
It'll be really interesting to see if anybody eventually figures out if it's really age, or if it's an age-influenced factor like, I dunno, having previous exposure to some other now-rare disease.
One of my friends who had the 'rona about a year ago, in his mid-thirties, reported lessening in his after-symptoms after the first AZ shot
I won't go there too much but if you're curious we can continue in the COVID-19 chat room
Grr, the friend of mine who got Deadlands 2e is moving house so I can't get my hands on the details of it
While I think there's something appealing in Western alt-history and alt-history in general, Deadlands doesn't really tickle me in any particular way and I don't expect anything particularly fancy from the game design. However, I'm just so starved of RPG reading I can run my mouth about with my friends that I can't wait to see the book
I'm also interested to see if the 2010's increase in reader sensitivity to problematic messages is reflected in the new lore.
I think I've solved one of history's greatest mysteries
The year is 452. Attila is marching into Italy to fight for his betrothal with Honoria. He meets with Pope Leo I near the river Mincio, the Pope successfully negotiates for Attila to leave Rome but how was never recorded.
I have a theory Attila and Leo fell in love with each other, explaining why Attila should no longer pursue Honoria and why historiography driven by Leo consistently labels Attila as "the hun".
I know that in DND-5e, the rage mechanic works against magical weapons that deal slashing damage, despite them being magical. However for certain enemies it is specifically stated "Attacks count as magical for overcoming resistances". I am wondering if in such a case, the enemies attacks would ov...
While I agree that the tone of the answer is probably bad, I also think the question is bad. It assumes that the Lucky feat is broken, which it really isn't
@BaconyRevanant Yeah, but folks do houserules all the time for things they'd like to change that aren't 'broken'
And the advantage/disadvantage thing is an issue for a lot of people.
If Darth wanted to take that tack, it'd have been better to ask if they'd talked about the desire to change the rule at the table and if everyone was on board.
I assumed they were, they assumed they weren't. Neither are correct, but if you're going to build an answer around the assumption, you should confirm before writing.

[wave] Guam's doing... not terribly. It helps to have a gov who used to be a nurse, I think, and a community that's generally on board with inconveniencing ourselves to help others.

@BESW Mm, I guess in this day and age you need either a community on-board with pandemic regulations or a country with lots of resources to pour into fighting the virus.
@BESW Can't complain. It's been a very sedentary year for me, but as an academic mathematician I'm probably lucky enough to be one of those least affected by Covid.
I know about this suggestion. Mine is an even further extension of that, and I'm asking about whether there are any further issues and whether I've fixed Lucky
I find the way 5e handles multiple forms of Advantage disappointing.

Years past I read the novels and many setting books for Dragonlance. I never stumbled upon any of these but as I got asked by one player:
Does Krynn feature any angels or demons or devils?
And hand in hand with that does Krynn have any planes of existence like Faerûn has?
