I imagined the meme of the guy sticking the rod in his own spokes, except instead of me sticking the rod in, life did before I got the opportunity haha
@AncientSwordRage Existing or a new one worth asking?
Believe me, I should have done something fancy this week, but I’m at the stage of the semester where I’m just kind of done and I don’t want to do anything but read my phone and wait to be all the way done. So, instead, I present a thing I started back in October, around Homecoming season, and picked up again last week in time for Prom season. I have a second, related thing, but that again…
Which magic weapon deals most damage at each rarity tier? (I am not asking about Artifacts, just normal rarity scale magic items).
For the sake of defining weapon damage:
Direct expected damage from a hit (not maximum possible damage)
Damage upon hit, not damage over several rounds (although men...
Yes, I am not sure. They certainly seem to be quite knowledgeable about some of the history, but it is very hard for me to follow any of their argument/logic
Even if Demiplanes were in the Astral, how does that enable you to connect them? And where does the whole Phlogiston stuff come from ... that was a theory used by chemists before they figured out how gasses work to make the mass formulas balance out. I think it was then appropriated for various RPGs as a kind of "ether", but its not clear to me at all what it would do here.
Or they're reading the wiki of it. I don't recall dealing with 2ed planar travel being fun outside of spelljammer. I think the few adventures of my groups that involved it got dropped because of how convoluted it was.
@GroodytheHobgoblin Spelljammer or the planeswalker book. All that stuff kinda runs together for me.
I think the answer might have been okay if it was prefaced with, "This answer works if the 1st and 2nd edition cosmology is accepted as cannon. As per this interview with JC: <link to interview>". The going on to quote the book and page and content that states demiplanes are part of the ethereal with a note that this contradicts the 5e DMG model.
But the mix-n-match of the 2nd and 5th editions ethereal planes definitions just doesn't seem right.
@GcL, OK, that makes more sense then. I agree, that woudl work better. Still not a great answer to preface something that does not really apply to a rather technical rules ask with "here is how it used to work, but not anymore", but better than not having that
I took a couple of readings and the comments section to even sort out that theory of what's going on. I suspect they're opaquely referencing "great wheel cosmology" as something that should immediately and obviously support the pivotal point that the demiplane is in the ethereal.
Even still, doesn't address the issue of making two adjacent demiplanes. The spell doesn't state that they're anywhere near each other, and in either edition, the ethereal plane is a big place that always takes a long time to get anywhere.
There's another answer that seems to assume that a second demiplane would automatically or at the option of the caster be directly adjacent to the first. I wonder why that assumption is prevalent. Maybe it's just convenient?
