@AncientSwordRage That's fine, but I guess my point is that you're asking a different question than you're "asking". Essentially, "how should/can I word an aspect" isn't answerable with the details provided and should be reworded itself. Something like "How can I communicate to my group that I need to be able to Veto compels on an aspect for personal reasons" — Ifusaso 3 mins ago

I'm wondering if editing my question in line with the above would invalidate too much of what's already being written in the answers?

I need emergency d&d 5e help like in the next minute. Flying fire resistant party member is last one not unconscious, one spellcaster with up to 3rd level spells remaining on my enemy side, it’s a custom caster so I can mess with spells, how do I take her down in one round

I am sitting on the floor trying to figure something out

AncientSwordRage

I'm not the best person to answer but good luck

Bardic Wizard

Update: fudged some stuff, bow attack, she only had 8hp left and now next session I can finally do the cult thing I’ve been waiting literal months for

Hey is that bardic Wizard? Long time no see!

@AncientSwordRage I was thinking an at least slightly humorous game but still tense, the plot loosely being some of the schools teachers are kidnapping and sacrificing the students to their cult, and the PCs have to figure out which teachers and stop them

AncientSwordRage

@TheDragonOfFlame hmmm

I'll sleep on it and see if I can think of anything that fits

@TheDragonOfFlame long time no see! I’ve really not been active much lately, it’s been a summer. How’s things?

@TheDragonOfFlame I’m currently writing something similar but only in a loose way; high school dance plus eldritch abomination

Source of inspo was mostly like fate and stuff, like others say it mostly depends on the mood you want

I was going for sweet and happy and w/e, haven’t exactly gotten perfectly that but still thinking about it

Q: Can a shield guardian be commanded to obey commands from the whole party?

This doesn't necessarily apply just to shield guardians, because it could go the same way with other minions. If you have the ability to command something, a shield guardian in my particular case, can you command it to accept commands from other PCs? I.e., command it to "follow the instructions o...

Q: Vorpal Sword vs. Wildshape

Wild Shape specifies that: You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. and When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However...

@TheDragonOfFlame I haven't played by FATE might work?

I wouldn't recommend D&D or any Chronicles of Darkness games

They could work, but you'd be fighting the system at least a little

@Exempt-Medic Downvoted simply because I flatly disagree with every part of this answer - You disagree with every part of it, yes? So, under your eyes we should not curate for bad questions, never back up our answers and let people rant about rules being stupid - which is the complete opposite of my tentatively "Yes... but..."

You need to stop

"I flatly disagree with nearly every part of this answer" Happy? I cannot edit my comment to change that but I've already spent enough energy on this for today

Trish

@Exempt-Medic I did put this on at the same time of the other comment. Actually before.

@Exempt-Medic You mean several. You don't seem to disagree that some ways of asking are not good and need cleanup. That Backing up is required for answers.

I just Balked at the sheer condescending feeling the every part did threw in my face.

Exempt-Medic

12:03 PM

@Trish Yeah, apologies. I stepped away, got a shower and some food and realize I let some stuff going on in my personal life boil over and spill into my antagonistic-reading of your comments. I have removed my comments, as they were overly harsh, and despite that harshness, you genuinely answered the things I brought up. Again, apologies

Trish

@Exempt-Medic It happens to the best of us. Apologies accepted.

Exempt-Medic

@Trish For what it's worth, I hadn't meant to be condescending. I truly did (and do) disagree that the examples of bad questions are bad questions, and I felt those examples were the meat of your answer. I absolutely should've spelled that out like I did later on though

Though you've since rewritten the answer to account for the things I brought up, so thanks for that

@BardicWizard yeah, I haven’t been particularly active for a while either. Also been pretty busy this summer.

Q: Forcibly running into an enemy during movement

Playing 5e. Can you make an attack and then use your movement to charge an enemy, knocking him over, pushing him back, or otherwise harrowing him to help your teammate? Seems totally logical. I slice they guy I’m fighting down, see my buddy in trouble and with my movement rush over and run into h...
