@SimonH. I wonder if stand-up/street/funny person to hang out with/film are expressions/manifestations of the archetypes rather than archetypes themselves?
@NautArch And we will all go together when we go / It's Christmas at ground zero / New math: it's so simple that only a child could do it / All I see are patterns, patterns that repeat.
After much chatting with my future @MotW_rpg players, we have basic back stories that will bring together a post fulfilled fate Chosen (now burned out elementary school teacher), a washed out wrestler, a cursed Monstrous wrestler, and a Smithsonian scientist. https://t.co/u65694NMZF
We are proud to be a home, lab, outlet, and creative avenue for so many fine tabletop people. Follow #AprilTTRPGMaker and learn more about the great people who are working so hard to bring you games.

That's up to you. It's an attempt to answer the question, and it uses novel reasoning which one person (me) has said they find brow-raising. I don't see a strong reason to delete, personally.
@SimonH. From dictionary of English language ... er·ra·tum eˈrädÉ™m noun plural noun: errata 1. an error in printing or writing. 2. a list of corrected errors appended to a book or published in a subsequent issue of a journal Related words are "err" and "error"
@JoelHarmon I'm... not sure it's actually a good thing. Certainly a niche skill. "I can tell you the suffocation rules are on p. 182 without looking first!"
If you fight monsters long enough, you become one. For example, I'm now that guy who pedantically corrects internet strangers who make otherwise excellent guesses.
@JoelHarmon Wow. I didn't actually think I'd be that close. In my mind the 170s are for "Using Ability Scores," the 180s are "Adventuring" and the 190s are "Combat." We're definitely into early "Spellcasting" by 200, I know.
I'm mostly wondering if a monk could use their deflect missile ability to catch an arcane shot and then throw it back with the arcane shot magic still in use. I looked at Arcane Shot and it doesn't say anything (from what I can tell) about it losing it's magic after it's shot. It's seventh level ...

@KorvinStarmast @nitsua60 so, just wanted to clarify - for 3 players, even if I drop the DC of the zombies undead fort save, that fight is too hard for 3 or 4 lvl 1 pcs? (the scenario in the cathedral)
I literally never played anything after 2. The context in which playing Halo with friends happened stopped happening.
(In college I'd set up my dorm as a kind of safe hangout spot, and folks left their consoles there 'cause that's where they'd play. After college, that wasn't so much of a thing and I've never owned a console myself.)
@kviiri they might mean essentials, which added feats that mitigated the stupidity of feat taxes (feats everyone will take but that don't do anything interesting)
or they might mean that when you hit higher levels PC's get a little more powerful per level than monsters do
the second one can be fixed
the first one, in my opinion, isn't a problem to begin with
I did see some people bashing essentials in that thread,... because it was too powerful

@kviiri That is super weird. But also, I think you need to explicitly state that the DC will be 8 + ability mod + proficiency mod, or the querent is just not gonna get it.
But 1d6 x Wis would be.... for one thing, almost completely unprecedented in the annals of 4e, and for another thing far too swingy for 4e's philosophy.
Yeah, I think it's just slightly badly written because it's the PHB1 and they hadn't figured out all their formula phrasings yet--but it's not wrong so they didn't errata it.
The "multiplication" argument sounds reasonable, but copywriting abbreviations aren't universally standardized and it makes very little sense in context.
@trogdor The problem is less that it's amazingly high--a ridiculously high heal is almost certain to have some waste, it's better to have more smaller heals--and more that it's completely unreliable.
@Ben It is well to recall that in Diablo I, which feel you are trying to recapture with that little adventure, the players start out fighting skeletons in level 1. It is usually a few levels before they hit zombies in my play experience, and bosses you don't usually find until 2 or 3.
Let me riddle you this, chatizens - you are having a peaceful midnight slumber in your bed when some giant dingus pulls up in a cement mixer and stands outside your window all night making a ruckus with lights and noises
What legitimate cause might the dingus have had for causing this ruckus at that particular time?
Huh. So you could play as an Intelligent Object in 3.5e.
And so someone made a race of sapient wheelbarrows.
> Cart Large Vehicle STR +6 DEX +0 CON +6 INT +0 CHA +0 Speed: Poor/Slow HD 5d6, AC +4 Assuming no character class, your starting skillpoints are (2+int modifier)x8 You have one natural attack: Ram 2d6
From Intelligent Item modifiers, you gain the ability to speak and read any language you know. You also have 60ft darkvision and hearing, and: 10 ranks in Knowledge (Local) Hold Person 3/day (Just fall over on them) Locate Object 3/day
Intelligent items are creatures, but they do not have a level adjustment.
Neither do animated objects. In fact, animating an intelligent item would not even let the intelligent item control itself, since an animated object is its own creature with its own stats.
4e is very skimpy on free healing. Usually healing consumes healing surges or is a daily power. That Paladin power heals 1d6 * wisdom modifier hit points whenever the paladin hits an enemy, which is both very strong on average and very swingy too.
Should be noted that 4e hit points are somewhat less valuable than 5e ones.
@Magician Yeah and this isn't even a cleric. It's a Paladin. Ok, Hospitaller Paladin is supposed to give the normally Defender-style Paladin some extra Leader power but that's just absurd.
@kviiri If you want to write up a pithy one-line chat message with link, I'll go ahead and pin it. Enough people seem interested yesterday and today that it'd be nice for newcomers to have an easy "in."
I've been calling the one that is currently in the nest the male (slightly smaller eyes, more pointed sharp eyebrows) and the other larger eyed one the female
