Easy: they picked it up from Mass Effect alien visits and misconstrued it to be synonymous with both vagrant and refugee* due to said aliens giving up on a proper definition and being like “yeah, close enough.”

What is the biggest difference in paladins and clerics? In d&d 3.5, the only real difference is Paladins used more weapons and less magic, but flavor-wise, they were both still servants of a deity. In 5e, paladins have become living ideas. Vengeance, mercy, devotion. Clerics are still the servants of deities, but paladins have changed into soldiers of an unending cause. Do you like one version more then the other? Is there another source of media you feel does Paladins better?

Spare the Dying is necromancy.

What’s your favorite class besides paladin?

>”the people I know would still play”

If more representation means less assholes, then shit, keep printing that good stuff if it makes them get up and go because they’re no “snakes, vampires and elephants”

Neither did the version of D&D that Tomb of Horrors was originally designed for. Tomb of Horrors came out in 1978; if you had a high-level character at the time, you were almost certainly playing OD&D - chargen is mostly randomised and takes about five minutes.

Also worth noting that many players will do a 1-20 sketch of a character in addition to the actual levels built. How detailed that sketch is can greatly vary but I know a full caster build can take me those 3 hours for Pathfinder if I add lots of detail.

to remember how many feet there are in a mile, u just gotta use 5 tomatoes

So the original mile or “Roman mile” used to be exactly 5,000 feet; the word mile itself comes from mille passus, “one thousand paces,” with one passus standardized as five feet. Pretty important stuff when you remember the Roman legions were almost all foot soldiers, so measuring things in the length of an average solider’s stride made sense. They also used a unit called the stade, which was one-eighth of a mile or 625 feet.

if you only go 60 km/hour you are literally going to get run over on a highway

Do you think "Raid" could be evergreen? It's easy to understand, can go on a wide variety of cards, and there really aren't too many limits to what you can make it do.

Not strictly a paladin thing, but how do you handle resurrection in settings where it's fairly common (if difficult/expensive)? Assuming it's not just their time, I tend to think it permanently damages their soul in some way, or at least the binding between the soul and the mortal mind, and can cause severe emotional and psychological damage over time, especially if it happens more than once, including memory loss, or remembering things like you might remember a dream. Thoughts?

I always just made it so you had to contact the deceased first and get consent, because not everyone wants resurrection. Added in some emphasis on the god of the dead being very kind to passed souls and the general happiness of reuniting with your loved ones in the afterlife.

(anarchy anon) to use d&d as an ex.: the only thing that makes d&d Not Anarchist is having a GM as a final arbiter of rules. if you instead decide any rules issues are decided mutually by the playgroup, d&d is fully qualifies as an anarchist activity. you can still have a system of rules or law in anarchy, you just have to avoid a hierarchy of enacting of said rules. d&d is a also a great example cos the rules are encouraged 2 be mutable - house rules are also supposed 2 be mutually agreed upon.

Instability on what your rights are is what we have currently happening. We’ve got something resembling a collective agreement, like the charter or bill of rights (depending on where you’re at), then we have positions of authority choosing whether or not to protect those rights. We see abuses and misrepresentations of our rights in each group that is supposed to protect them, with judges, politicians, and police officers failing us far more than is acceptable. The law is already “mutable” but there is a power imbalance in who gets to “houserule” whether something qualifies as illegal or not.

what do you hate about chandra nalaar

it wouldn’t even take that much extra for it to be good armor. she needs like... a 2nd bracer, some better shin/knee guards, those hip plates to cover more, a breastplate that isn’t *breast* plate and a helmet. you could even keep some of the unnecessary This Is A Woman things like croptop breastplate and armor skirt and still have it be useable as armor.

Favorite Common?

Grey Merchant of Asphodel is my boy.

My paladin, instead of using a blade or a hammer, uses twin tower shields to bash evil beings and protect the innocent. Thoughts?
