D&D on the forums, you say? How would I join this thing?

Do go on, I'm intrigued about what a long rest has to do with changing planes of reality.

Of course he was right, seeing the enemy warriors kill themselves off is liable to make the merpeople assume the fight will be easy. *does a double take* 'wait, a rogue who actively keeps the party alive? What kind of campaign is this!?'

I'm no poet, but I made a ketek about a cat that keeps showing up at my house, and since it looks like I'm not alone in cateks I'll share it: Meow! Mouth open, running, cat stops, then screams, purring. It purrs, screams, then stops; runs, opens mouth: Meow! And yes, I do mean screams. Whenever the cat wants something, he repeatedly emits a demanding yowl "scream" that lasts upwards of five seconds.

Hey man, I don't have a group to DM, but I took a look at this and it looks pretty cool, so I thought I'd pitch in my thoughts. I don't think that it needs to be nerfed too hard, if you just take the damage for the conductive mucus effect down so that you don't kill all the wizards and make succeeding the spit mucus saving throw prevent being covered in mucus, this looks to me like a really cool creature for some higher level characters and/or a large group. You could have an encounter by a river where the creature's electric powers are killing off things, or even not nerf it at all and use it as a sub-boss in some spooky cave covered in conductive mucus. As for lore, perhaps you could have some type of Moria deal where mining dwarves uncovered an ancient lake where this creature lives, or maybe some innocent magical creature was twisted by dark magic and is now a terror. There's definitely other applications, but those are some thoughts

Well, I won't say it was my favorite part, but it was certainly memorable almost killing Truthless over an orc that he was sparing. Sorry about that, it's hard to stay level headed when orcs burned down your home town. It's strange that you were the merciful one, seeing as you were a paladin to Tyr of all things. Also, I have a question for anyone who's on here. My weirdest D&D moment is getting cursed to be Moana. Anyone have anything better?

I can see where you're coming from, and I may be proven wrong by my next statement by a later book, but I can't see how the 5th Ideal of the Windrunners would bond them to nonviolence seeing as a) you can't protect people very well from a Desolation if you can't fight and b) the ancient Windrunners sometimes disputed the Stonewards as to who were the best warriors, which is hard to do without fighting. The Windrunners are a bit like Vin in Mistborn, they have both the ability to destroy to preserve/ harm to protect if need be.

All right, thanks. That makes sense

Shardblades hurt people's soul, not their body. If you use the sharp edge of a Shardblade to swipe through an arm, the arm remains completely intact, without a mark. But when you hold a Shardblade at the handle or clap your hands on the sides, aka touching the blunt parts, it acts like a normal object, so you could theoretically clobber someone to death with the blunt part of the sword. Perhaps this is going a bit far for book lore, but what makes the sharp part special and cut souls, while the blunt part that is made out of the same material does not? Why does your soul care whether the spooky Investure metal has an acute angle or not?

All right, I got it. I'll do that After your persistence, there really wasn't anything else for me to do. Besides, now maybe I'll stay up to date for once on the Cosmere.

I've read all of the Stormlight Archive so far, the Mistborn / Alloy series, and a few of the stand-alone books. Out of them, I feel most like Dalinar because of the growing experience that he undergoes and his willingness to try new stuff, though of course not on the same level as I have not committed genocide and/or war crimes.

So far, my favorite Cosmere book is Oathbringer because (a) I got started on Cosmere books because of the Stormlight Archive and (b) it can't be RoW since I just finished it and haven't gotten past the 'confused' stage of post-reading yet.

The problem I see with Lirin is that he chose a viewpoint that physical violence is always wrong, and now he refuses to grow or change from there. Sure, jumping straight to aggression is bad, and you should avoid that. But you should also maybe not let yourself be conquered by an army of insane Fused led by a god intent on destroying your civilization. Also, it's just not acceptable to treat your son the way he does, and getting some face paint isn't going to help much.

Not sure if I did this right. You'd think that I'd be able to correctly use this site after nearly a year. . . you'd be wrong.
