Merry Christmas!

This and c/nottheonion are the only news communities I’m subbed to anymore, so I had to do a double take

Oh wow, I would not have expected that. How cool!

Sweet, I dig it

Oof. Summed up my relationship with D&D in a 4-page comic. I love the game, but at the same time, it’s just too stressful to play anymore.

Help me out, what kind of DnB are you referring to? Google gives me a lotta different results when I search DnB

What is four-penis wine?

I somewhat wish for d&d and b&d to switch places, so it would read like a Punnett square. There’d be “bed” and “dungeons” on one axis, and “breakfast” and “dragons” on the other axis, and so you see the result you get when they cross.

But I know that would’ve spoiled the comedic flow.

yaaay

Yes Brave Sir Robin turned about and gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

The rules state that you either die or fall unconscious when you have 0 hit points. The definition of “unconscious” in Appendix A specifies that you are incapacitated AND can’t move or speak AND are unaware of your surroundings.

EDIT: Maybe I shouldn’t assume you’re talking about 5e. I have no idea about 5.5e or any other edition

Lol @ the prices written on the spine of the book, in the upper left corner

OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS ONE.

I remember going back and following literally every single possible story path and never making it to the planet Ultima. And then going through page-by-page until I actually found it.

That’s wild, this must have been about 20 years ago. Thanks for reminding me of a childhood memory.

They didn’t say “sell,” they said “give.”

“Considers” ≠ “Counts”

“Tom counts a yellow Corvette among his three sportscars” would be a perfectly natural statement in an article where Corvette ownership is relevant. In this article, parenthood of a transgender child is relevant.

By “illegal,” do you mean the player is not allowed to choose the race for their character? Or do you mean the race is outlawed within the setting, i.e. Orcs would have no legal protections and are persecuted by the law?

“Spicy” isn’t a taste, it’s just a mildly painful chemical irritation. Spicy substances can hurt many sensitive body parts, including the mouth, nose, eyes, anus, and genitals. It’s nothing to do with tastebuds, more to do with thin unprotected membranes in your body being sensitive to chemicals such as capsaicin or allyl isothiocyanate.

Total Party Kill - i.e. every member of the adventuring party dies.

My favorite druid was a Wizard / Druid (Circle of the Land) multiclass. From a role-playing perspective I didn’t really differentiate between his wizard spells and his druid spells - he was a “hedge mage” hermit who taught himself how to work magic. He used a component pouch because that covered all the non-scarce spell components for both classes.

From a gameplay perspective, he wasn’t very powerful because his access to higher-level spells was delayed. On the other hand, he had a WIDE variety of lower-level spells. He was able to cast most level-appropriate ritual spells from both classes, always had a utility spell ready for any situation, and Arcane Recovery + Natural Recovery meant he almost never ran out of slots. He was a good versatile caster.

Oh, and he was a goblin who used Disguise Self to pass as a gnome whenever he visited civilization.
