OK, when I said “beast” I should really have said “monster”, because things like oozes, constructs, and undead are often stupid enough to do just that

Wolves aren’t so mindless!

I know this is just a shitpost, but the key question is what kind of monster is doing the attacking. Mindless beast? It’ll attack whatever’s nearest. Vaguely competent humanoid? They’ll probably focus on the guy in his pyjamas who’s raining death from his fingertips over the one in armour thicker than their head.

Surely that would be a charisma save, possession is like the only use for charisma saves!

Dex is clearly green though

Immovable Rod is definitely the name of the bouncer at my next tavern

Quiet you, those rules are for the players!

I think you could use this as a way to hurry the players up, useful if they like resting after every battle because there’s no motivation not to. You could have a big number that increases by a fixed or rolled number with every long rest, or you could just increase it arbitrarily based on what had happened in-game (or based on how much you want to hurry them). At that point it’s pretty similar to the “normal” way of running a game (to me, at least) of just telling them what else is happening in the world and how the baddies are progressing more with their evil plan every day you don’t stop them.

Your suggestion also seems quite similar to the “clocks” mechanic from Blades in the Dark, which in simple terms is a number of boxes that get filled in (or unfilled) based on players’ actions, and when completed something (usually bad) happens. The players know what the bad thing is, they can see the current state of the clock, and it’s usually obvious when a certain action will increase it decrease it.

Yep, it all adds up to me!

I heard they just spring out of holes in the ground!

Fortunately Speak With Dead gets the job done for free!

It’s not a scene from a cowboy movie transplanted into a fantasy world, it’s a hotel farce transplanted into a fantasy world—an episode of Fawlty Towers where nobody can mention the warhammer.

This was a fun read

I know just enough about Pathfinder to think “yeah, that sounds like the kind of beautiful nonsense I should expect for Pathfinder”

Half-human and half-horse sounds like the bestiality had already happened!

Does D&D even have any official furry races

• Centaur
• Hadozee
• Harengon
• Leonin
• Minotaur
• Satyr
• Tabaxi

And that’s just the ones with fur, there’s plenty for the scalies too
