I've been searching forums and brainstorming about this idea. I am curious about how many holes can be put in this theory and how many DMs would allow this at their table.
Supporting Evidence
Every roll check in DnD is either an attack roll, saving throw, or
ability check.
Initiative is not atta...
I am running my first 5e campaign as DM, so I am simply running Lost Mine of Phandelver. I have experience playing the game, and a little bit of experience DMing homebrew systems. One player I have played with before but still wet behind the ears, while the other two are brand new to the TTRPG sc...
I mean spells like Ray of Enfeeblement - what happens if someone rolls critical to attack with them?

The P2E Archives of Nethys deity list includes a column for a list of "Ability" scores/boosts associated with each deity. It isn't mentioned in my copy of the Core Rulebook, so I'm guessing it's tied to an erratum somewhere. Is there some kind of benefit to player characters (cleric or champion...
I think it doesn't help that the words good and bad carry double meanings in this context. My villian has genuine bad intentions because he is (or at least aspires to be) an evil guy. But he is also bad at executing his goals. That is all his attempts to produce suffering result in outcomes that are unquestionably good for the people (at least in his local area)
