The biggest problem with homebrew is that most of it is unbalanced crap made up by people who think rule of cool is an appropriate substitute for learning why those numbers in that book they barely skimmed are arranged the way they are. Yes, there's some good stuff out there but like the internet in general Sturgeon's Law is usually a generous assessment.
A great example was in a game I briefly played the DM allowed a homebrew class with seven different class features, most of which could be used in the same turn combined to great effect, at first level. Why? Because the DM didn't know half the rules to the basic system, the class came from a pretty website that was designed to look like an official source book, and the abilities sounded really cool. Nevermind that it made one PC more powerful than the other four party members combined.
Take homebrew with a large grain of salt or everybody will end up very salty.
I am familiar with the gazebo story. It's nearly as old as the internet.
Not at all, Konsi. Your skin is a very healthy shade of green.
He seems nice. And it absolutely isn't suspicious at all that those Gnoll raiders left the cart alone after hauling off the dead horse with no obvious blood spatter or drag marks. Just a simple traveler in mild distress. No need to put your guard up or have any abjuration spells ready with names that include words like "protection," "dispel," or "evil."
Also problem players. Like the ones that steal from other PCs, murderhobo, use meme threads as a "to do" list, and frequently say the words "It's what my character would do." You send those players here and they cease to be a problem.
Unfortunately this one actually happened in Florida. Police arrested a guy who, among other things, someone had said was in possession of something that "looked like a pistol with a suppressor." After searching the guy and finding no such weapon the cop put the guy, handcuffed, in the back of his cruiser. As he walked away from the car an acorn fell and hit the roof, at which point the cop started shouting into his radio about shots fired and that he had been hit by gunfire, dove and rolled around a bit (nowhere near any actual cover), then unloaded the entire magazine of his pistol at his cruiser with the suspect locked inside it. Another officer on scene, reacting to the first one yelling that he'd been shot, also fired all of her ammo at the vehicle. None of the shots actually hit the handcuffed guy in the back seat.
A "thorough investigation of the incident" (including body camera footage from both officers involved which is now publicly available online) determined that the noise the first officer thought was a suppressed gunshot was, in fact, an acorn hitting the roof of the police vehicle after falling from the large oak tree it was parked next to. The acorn was still on the roof. Despite his panicked reaction and assertions otherwise it was also determined that he had not been struck by gunfire and that he was certainly the first person present to start shooting. The other officer was cleared of any wrongdoing as she was determined to have had legitimate reason to believe there was a clear and present danger. The first cop, who gave the second one that reason by freaking out over a fucking acorn, was determined to be whatever the official wording is for delusional, unstable, and dangerously incompetent and he resigned. In statements he still insisted after the fact that, while not disputing the findings of the review, he still recalls having heard a gunshot and feeling an impact to his torso.
Each one has 6 nails in addition to the one nailed into the wood. The challenge doesn't say anything about not using a seventh nail that does touch the wood.
Assuming Batman is another PC, it could be that player overestimating. And also being as uncreative af because Batman's backstory is a standard part of the Junior Edgelord Unhappy Meal character design package.
Umm, congratulations on your inheritance of a run down haunted mansion?
Rules nerd nitpickery: If this is for D&D, scaling spells to caster level is a Third Edition mechanic and was done away with for 5e due to balance issues with the new system. Also that's clearly a conjuration spell; abjuration is protective or purification type magic.
Not that this really matters for a "summon giant salad" spell but OCD demands and such.
As a tall person I can confirm that using a short girlfriend's head as an elbow rest is a gesture of affection. I also do this with platonic friends, to mixed results. My favorite recollection is walking up to a college friend on campus who was talking to someone else, she introduced me and I did the armrest thing while joining the conversation. After a minute the other person said "Um, are you gonna..." And my friend said "Nah, he'll get bored with it eventually and I'm used to it. I have a lot of tall friends."
Am I the only one that thinks the DM was inspired by a character from the webcomic Saffron and Sage? The moth girl there doesn't have the marriage custom but does immediately crush on the himbo pyromancer.
The only thing that little fence will accomplish is guaranteeing that when the inevitable cat to tree contact occurs it will be at speed and above the tree's center of gravity. Those furballs can jump.
Isn't the cleric supposed to have the best wisdom score in the party?
I got the impression they did a bit more than cuddle.
How about we discuss those heros in the foreground? Conan-core "armor is for wimps" beefcake/cheesecake aesthetic featuring brown hiphugger jeans, and all illustrated by someone who has no clue how to world a real weapon. Also wtf is the woman even posing with (because I am not going to suggest she's"wielding "it)? Maybe it's a staff and her ridiculous pose can be attributed to somatic casting, at which point maybe the one in the middle is a bard doing a stripper sword dance with that terrible stance. Left dude still needs to choke up with his right hand if he wants any kind of power on his swing.
Love this comic, as always. Though I do wonder where Angela's shield went between panels 4 and 8.
The example in the op says nothing about whether it was ever possible to diffuse the bombs in the first place, so it's unclear if there is any element of agency at all, let alone how difficult the scenario is to win if that's even feasible.
If the DM is asking for a blueprint of your home to battle map scale during character creation, you really should have seen this coming.
