My group once was three guys and three girls. Now it’s two and a half guys, two girls and one person without any gender. I am the only one who changed nothing.

Oh. Yeah. That just screams Darwin Award.

Nice. Thanks.

I did a wikipedia search a few days ago and it says you can just insert all sexualities you want. So you could just use heterosexuality, right?

If we were still on Reddit, I would link r/explainthejoke. What is this about?

Out of couriosity: I have never played the game, so… is the game actually unplayable if you decide to be intolerant against one or more of these? (As in: Is the tolerance and representation part of the core mechanics or is this just meant as a statement?)

Even though I do not have a problem with treating the things mentioned with respect, something about this text irritates me, but I can’t put my finger on it. Which feels really weird because I don’t like the feeling of something being off even though I can’t spot anything that actually bothers me.

I actually don’t like the “magic exist so fuck simulatiounism” reasoning, since it implies that as soon as magic exists, any rational explanations are off the table. I generally prefer to establish what can and can’t be done, so we have as baseline for what’s possible. Otherwise you quickly loose consistency. Martials should be able to do more than regular people in our world, but there should be guidelines on what they can do.

Yes the game is not a simulation. But I prefer using examples aside from magic. Magic is not simplification for game purposes, magic is part of the setting. Things like HP, the turn order and armor class vs. saving throws generally work better as comparisons.

Very much this. It even feels very “rogueish” to employ that strategy and it’s far from broken, so I don’t see why you would ban it.

Did the DM just not like Rogues or were they new to DnD?

First Pete Complete now Ahdok. Why is everyone getting married these days?

Okay I didn’t even consider those two. I don’t get how casting it one more time after you fail would help though, it why failing would help in general.

Only if they somehow got access to the spell.

Ah I see. But farfetched, but I get it.

Hm. Then I don’t see the connection to this meme. Maybe I’m just stupid though.

Ah I see. I was talking 2014, but yeah the means you have to make use of some other loopholes.

The problem is that you only roll once they leave the feywild. Up to that point time between the two planes works in sync. You effectively just time travel when leaving depending on the result of your roll.

Good one. I also noticed that this version of imprisonment makes you immune against every instance of the spell for 24 hours. So a paranoid BBEG might just have underlings (like some divination wizards) to buff the hell out of them in the morning, then use something like another servant or a glyph of warding to trigger a casting of the spell to make themselves immune for the day. Incredibly unnecessary, but very funny.

But yes I think “high likelihood” really makes what was a situational spell into a very boring spell to use for players. You’re better off just killing the target now, as killing them permanently is more reliable.

Oh so nice to hear you decided to take this step. I wish you lots of success and fun doing this as your work. Maybe try to avoid getting a burnout over it (that’s what I found to happen frequently when people start freelancing their hobby).

Feywild would be possible but by RAW the time difference is only calculated once you leave the feywild.
