It is somewhat condescending in this context where she's running for a political position. Like telling somebody they're cute when they bring up X idea instead of considering the idea itself...

In Pathfinder 2.5E (aka D&D 3.9375E), drow never existed and were made up by a gaslighting Pathfinder.

Poor monks don't even count as children...

RAW, the 5e tarrasque is helpless against flying creatures like the aarakocra.

Lol hiya, I recall you from the subreddit as well. Glad to see familiar faces around!

Yep, I'm a pretty big fantasy fan so I'm no stranger to Sanderson haha. Besides those two, I also finished Mistborn Era 1, but haven't kept up with the more recent series.

Warbreaker's my first Sanderson book! It's still my favourite of his.

Flipping through short stories from a couple of best-of anthologies at the moment, though I'm planning to start The Coral Bones by E. J. Swift sometime soon. Been on a kick of reading marine-adjacent fiction lately.

Though fighters were worse compared to casters in 3.5e or PF1e, at least you got to customize them with your crazy number of feats.

Meanwhile 5e makes you choose between improving your stat scores or taking a feat. Hooray?

Hmm, I guess that's where we see things differently. To me those choices aren't part of the "Go" before the "Roll", while you group them together under "Go".

Let me elaborate a bit. I'm also playing a game where the GM encourages us to narrate our own successes/failures, but I still envision that as "Go then Roll". Whether it's the GM or player deciding what the consequences of an action, the PC has already committed to that action before rolling. Action > Roll > Result can all be decided by the player in "Go then Roll".

I can't speak for reactions since I specifically try to avoid games including them in PbP. Having to retcon or pre-declare them always felt clunky to me.
