Q: Can a Fathomless Warlock's Tentacle of the Deeps help flank?

Zweiclops1206The Fathomless Warlock has a feature called Tentacle of the Deeps, which allows them summon a 10-foot long spectral tentacle (exact wording below). It can be moved and make attacks,but is spectral and doesn't necessarily have a physical presence. However, it can affect events around it by dealing...

Q: Do the rules for running a business contradict themselves?

TigersEye120My players recently came into possession of an inn in a small village and I'm trying to figure out how to run it. On page 127 of the DMG, it says that an inn costs 5GP maintenance per day, including payment for one skilled and 5 unskilled hirelings. There are two main points of confusion for me. ...

Q: Does Faerûn have timezones?

AncientSwordRageI read this tweet by RPGBOT.net: In #DnD5e a lot of magic items reset at dawn. Dawn is a geographically-dependent time. What time "dawn" occurs changes based on where you are. There is nothing stopping you from teleporting somewhere, waiting a few minutes for dawn, then teleporting back. And wh...

Q: Can a prisoner invite a vampire into his cell?

Can the prisoner invite the vampire into the prison, if there is a window in his cell? Forbiddance: The vampire can't enter ...

@Medix2 I hadn't looked at that
@KorvinStarmast @ThomasMarkov is your view that the OP in the above question is clear enough, or that it doesn't matter and the answer it's getting are good? Because they all seem to be making assumptions that I can't see a basis for in the question.

@ThomasMarkov I think it's very answerable if there's details tying it to the OPs game.

It would have been a way better question if they provided the details to their concrete problem.
 
KorvinStarmast
KorvinStarmast
@AncientSwordRage Is that a problem with the question or a problem with vampire lore or a problem with the text itself?
@ThomasMarkov I like where your answer to the related question begins. I'd suggest maybe (up to you) taking it a step further: Vampires know the rules, and they are lawful evil, so they don't even try to enter; they instead use their charm abilities to get others to take care of that sort of thing (getting in and out of a prison).

@NautArch Semantic wrangling questions and answers can get that way .... plus, if the prisoner can invite them into the cell, the vampire only has license to be in that cell. That's what the prisoner occupies, thus he is the cell's occupant, not the larger building's 'occupant' - well, it could be argued that way, right?
 
NautArch
NautArch
@KorvinStarmast It can be argued a lot of ways, that's why I needs to be closed. It's also why none of those answers are actually supported in the all should be pretty much downvoted.
The questions don't have to get that way. They only get that way because the community upvotes answers that they like, not necessarily answers that are actually supported. If we didn't, these questions could probably stay open.

Or even a cooler. 😁

@KorvinStarmast Literally every single person I know with a yeti cooler won it in a raffle or contest of some sort.
That's not true, I've a friend that runs a deep sea fishing fleet who outfits all his boats with Tundra 350s
But everyone that owns a yeti that isn't for their business won it in a raffle or something similar.
I just took a quiz at yeti for them to recommend me a cooler, and I selected "single person carry" as one of the options, and this is the image it gave for the recommendation I received:

MikeQ
MikeQ
In this situation, I think they probably made the right move (in-game) to stop enabling a problem player who is actively ruining their game experience, but the better move would be to have an out-of-game discussion ASAP.
And they're asking "AITA" because the group hadn't established clear boundaries and expectations, so naturally they're unsure if their reaction crossed some sort of line.

@MikeQ I do think it's interesting that the "my guy" players have so little tolerance for other players doing the same thing. Sure, maybe having your barbarian switch between personalities (which, ugh) is what your guy would do, but my guy is sick of it and is gonna let you die.
 
MikeQ
MikeQ
It seems more like the player is sick of it, not just their character. Whereas a "my guy" situation would be if the players enjoyed the PVP, but they had their character oppose it.

5:02 PM
question still seems vague
I'm not really sure what is meant by "do they have their origin in D&D lore?" like, "these gloves give you the strength of a giant" is about the extent of the definition I can think of, there
AFAIK, non-artifact magic items are assumed to be made by powerful enchanters
whereas artifacts can have provenance
 
NautArch
NautArch
We can probably remove the 'lore' bit, it's a history of gaming question. WHen were they introduced, how have they changed over itime.
 
G. Moylan
G. Moylan
but even then, the part of the Q asking about the origin of a given item with a bonus on it seems like a long shot to answer. I feel like we're still asking about designer intent
 
NautArch
NautArch
OP isn't able to get the answer they want, so they've narrowed it to just what's the history of the item.
It may not be helpful, but it's a reasonable question.
 
G. Moylan
G. Moylan
"when you were designing X version of the game, when/why did you add items with bonuses?" still seems like designer intent
 
MikeQ
MikeQ
But it's not at all what the querent originally asked. They had a disagreement with the GM. Maybe they wanted to ask a balance question, but I don't know if asking about the lore history really helps anyone.
 
NautArch

5:06 PM
There is no Why. It's just when.
@MikeQ They were the ones that edited down to that. I fully agree that it isn't helpful.
 
G. Moylan
G. Moylan
@MikeQ I contend that there isn't really any lore to begin with on items like this
"these give you big strong punchy hands" "cool, what will wizards come up with next"
 
Cooper
Cooper
That question reads to me like the player is wondering if the explanation the DM gave is correct or not, given the frankly bizarre reasoning the DM used for denying the item
 
NautArch
NautArch
@Cooper Yeah, kinda. I think the real question is "how do I talk to my DM about my frustration."
 
Cooper
Cooper
@NautArch I'm not even sure if it's that at this point? It seems like they've accepted the ruling and are just curious about the history of the game now

@Cooper Im not sure it's that bizarre - but it's also easily fixed: Don't pick a STR-based class and dump STR.
Put in your highest, and then take the item.
Boom, done.
OP confirmed they just want the history.

Fair enough, but keep in mind that they'll take any lore answers to their GM and say "See, the internet people say I'm right", and then they'll come back when that causes another disagreement

I want to say that this is okay now, but the change still gives me questions of opinion. While I think that there may be categories we can all agree on, I'm very worried that this will devolve into "this is what I think the categories are", and that's not helpful. This also seems quite different from your original question. Instead of trying to narrow to something that might be more stackable, can you please let us know what you're trying to do with this information? What problem are you trying to solve? — NautArch 35 mins ago

I think spell categories just aren't exactly useful; even if you get past the subjectivity of categorization, it's the campaign that tells you what kind of spell you need
 
MikeQ
MikeQ
Fireball is a scouting spell (not sure what's in the next room? throw in a fireball and see what happens), therefore it should be categorized with other divination magic
 
Thomas Markov
Thomas Markov
@MikeQ Ive used it for this as well.
 
Medix2
Medix2
I might write a frame-challenge saying that categorization is not remotely as helpful as looking at the oh... I thought of a use
If you have a categorization of spells based on what sort of scenarios they apply to, then you can know what sort of spells you probably want to actually meet a given scenario

@Medix2 Maybe? But you need to have those spells. The spells you actually have are more important than a theoretical categorization.
 
Medix2
Medix2
@NautArch Not if you have time to prepare
If you know beforehand that you're going to perform a heist, it would be helpful to have a list of "heist spells" at the ready to inform your preparation
 
NautArch
NautArch
@Medix2 Not if you don't have access to more spells.
@Medix2 But what's a heist spell? The specific heist is going to matter.
 
Medix2
Medix2
I suppose the real solution is just to know what every spell does; which is required in order to categorize them in the first place

@Medix2 Solution to what?
I still am unclear as to what the problem is.

But I don't think that's actually helpful.

@NautArch The question also claims to know what the categories are, so yeah, not sure what the problem is.

NautArch
NautArch

> These spell "categories" are not RAW, but are deployed widely.
 
NautArch
NautArch
@Medix2 Do players use de-facto categories for spell selection?
 
Thomas Markov
Thomas Markov
Then why are you asking the question?
 
NautArch
NautArch
I'd rather we not answer it at all. I don't think the question is at all clear.
It's why mine is sitting in a unsubmitted state.
 
Medix2
Medix2
@NautArch Mine certainly do; they discuss their spell selections with things like "Did you get any Charm spells? Any AOE? What about shutdown?"
We've had a lot of conversations on "What spells should my Sorcerer learn?" and categories come up a lot; of course, all under the umbrella of "Your Sorcerer learns whatever spells that character would learn"
Which I might write an answer "The spell-preparer is the one who knows what spells to prepare" just worried that's too anti-Metagaming
 
NautArch
NautArch
@Medix2 Hmm, but yes - those are very much personal categorizations.
Because an answer could be "I have an AOE"..."Oh, not that one."
 
MikeQ
MikeQ
5:44 PM
Fireball is an AOE control spell because it can impose the "dead" debuff condition on many targets
 
Medix2
Medix2
@NautArch Yeah I have no data whatsoever on the prevalence of any categorization. Which is why I might do a frame challenge
 
NautArch
NautArch
@Medix2 That's what my answer is, but I'm still wary about posting it. I don't think we're going down a helpful tack here.
I'd rather first understand what OP is actually trying to figure out.
You're welcome to post your own, of course, but that's my thought process.
 
Medix2
Medix2
I think you make a good point. And I probably don't want to answer their question without actually knowing why they are asking it or what they are looking to get out of it

Cooper

@Medix2 I think the really important thing about this question in this post right here-- optimizing spell choice depends a lot on what everyone else is playing! When I played my paladin in a party with a pure pacifist cleric, he never took any spells for healing or buffing, because I was never going to need to use those spells
It feels like, in an attempt to get the question opened, it's been edited to be increasingly broad and general, rather than giving the specific details of the problem that the person is trying to solve

Why does board and card games se have a tag called untagged

A: How did we get all these untagged questions?

Jeff AtwoodTo be clear, the policy: Any tag with only one question in it for an entire six month period, will be automatically culled at the end of that six month period. If this culling results in zero tags, the question will be retagged untagged. Does every single question really need a unique board...

@ThomasMarkov Except that for some of us, who pre ordered via amazon, we are told "Oh, wait, you don't get yours yet" Such wonderful customer service. (Note to self: get the DDB app for phone, I am now in two campaigns that link to DDB).

@KorvinStarmast I assume those are paper, and we should all be very accomodating towards print. That landscape is currently terrifying due to supply chains.
If you want a print product for christmas, now is the best time for orders.

@ThomasMarkov was that the lengthy edit rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3103/44723 in the suggested-edit queue? I skipped that one, but I'm curious.

@Akixkisu hmmmm?
There was a lengthy edit in queue, it was someone adding 4e material to Korvin’s answer.

@ThomasMarkov yes - that one. I didn't have the time to look into it, so I skipped it. It looked like one of the more interesting cases.
Or was that an unrelated search?
Ah 2 hours ago, so unrelated.

@Akixkisu Lucky for me, I am not counting on it for a campaign, unlike Salt Marsh from a few years ago which was late for a campaign start :(
@ThomasMarkov Which JoelHarmon is kindly offering input to. This is exposing 4e's problem with multiple instances of 4e's PHB ... or just an errata issue. Hopefully one of our 4e experts can clear that up.
@trogdor Guess I'm looking for help again. 😊

@trogdor Not sure if you have your 4e PHB around, but I have an answer that is needful of an edit with 4e source material, of which I have none. Two different users helped, but their two PHB's don't agree.
