1.  You're playing in Greyhawk and the Theocracy of the Pale has always bugged you? Let the githyanki wipe it from the face of Oerth. Then you can replace it with whatever suits your fancy-perhaps an oppressive nation ruled by githyanki, or a strong rebel force that moved into the power vacuum left by the Theocracy’s fall. - ?

Кстати говоря, что это за теократия, кто-то знает? Её название что-то означает?

2. From there, the githyanki spread simultaneously in both directions around the Sea of Fallen Stars, into Sembia and the Dragon Coast. Once they conquer the Vilhon Reach, they can expand westward into the relatively wild Western Heartlands, and from there northward to the Silver Marches. From Sembia, their expansion should progress more slowly up through the Dalelands to the Moonsea, then Into the Cold Lands and the Unapproachable Fast. - ?

Это от слова doppelsoldier или doppelganger? А то мне приходит в голову только хентай с Доппель из девочек-монстров в главной роли.

Имелись в виду вторые!)

Из того же обсуждения:
- Мимики с доппельгангерами взбунтовались! Говорят, царь-то - настоящий!

В этом мире вместе с людьми живут приключенцы. Люди охотятся на них и приручают, а затем заставляют сражаться друг с другом, зачищать подземелья и расти по уровню. Самый известный слоган этого мира - "Приключу, я выбираю тебя!"

Доброго времени суток!
Помогите  разобраться со способностью очарователя "Инстинктивное очарование" (INSTINCTIVE CHARM)! Не совсем понятно, как она работает! Если способность использована, то атаковавший должен заново бросать атаку по ближайшему существу, или против него используется уже совершённый бросок атаки? И если не надо бросать заново, то что происходит, если атакующему давали преимущество на атаку против изначальной цели? А если это была коварная атака, получит ли новая цель дополнительный урон? И считается ли фамильяр или животное-спутник атаковавшего ближайшими существами?

Спасибо!

1. Can a paladin use Divine Smite when they hit using an unarmed strike? No. Divine Smite isn’t intended to work with unarmed strikes.
Divine Smite does work with a melee weapon attack, and an unarmed strike can be used to make such an attack. But the text of Divine Smite also refers to the “weapon’s damage,” and an unarmed strike isn’t a weapon.
If a DM decides to override this rule, no imbalance is created. Tying Divine Smite to weapons was a thematic choice on our part—paladins being traditionally associated with weapons. It was not a game balance choice. - ?

2. Beyond the fun factor, a war offers you the opportunity to change the face of your campaign world, eliminating elements you might have been dissatisfied with and replacing them with new ones. - ?

Доброго времени суток!
Заклинание "пылающий шар" (flaming sphere) - это огненный шар диаметром в одну клетку, который наносит урон, если ударяется в кого-то или если кто-то заканчивает свой ход рядом с ним. Значит ли это, что ходить через клетку этого шара можно без проблем, раз в заклинании это не прописано?

1. Throughout this process, the lich-queen never commits more of her forces than she believes (based on intelligence gathered by her spies) are required to achieve her goals. Huge legions of githyanki soldiers wait in reserve on the Astral Plane until this initial foray has succeeded. If this phase of the invasion goes very poorly, she sends some reinforcements, but she never sends more forces than she must until a githyanki kingdom is established on the world. - как бы это получше сформулировать?

2. While the githyanki armies are extending her reach, the lich-queeris most powerful agents pursue her specific goals, if she has any beyond the conquest of this world. (As noted above, such goals could include locating the divine corpse of the glthyanki's former patron, obliterating the purported tomb of Gith, or raiding mind flayer settlements deep underground.) - ?

1. Are natural weapons considered weapons? Things designated as weapons by the rules, including natural weapons, are indeed weapons. In contrast, unarmed strikes are not weapons. They are something you do with an unarmed part of your body. - ?

2. Misty step doesn’t say the caster can bring worn or carried equipment with them. Are they intended to leave everything, including their clothes, behind? No, the caster’s worn and carried equipment are intended to go with them.
Some teleportation effects do specify that you teleport with your gear; such specification is an example of a rule being needlessly fastidious, since no teleportation effect in the game assumes that you teleport without your clothes, just as the general movement rules don’t assume that you drop everything when you walk. - ?

Всем спасибо!

1. The frightened condition says “while the source of its fear is within line of sight.” Does that mean you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks even if the source is invisible but you have a clear line to its space? No. If you can’t see something, it’s not within your line of sight. Speaking of “line of sight,” the game uses the English meaning of the term, which has no special meaning in the rules. - ?

2. For a wizard to cast a ritual spell contained in their spellbook, do they need to read from the book or use it as part of the ritual? No. As written, the rule doesn’t require you to read from the book. The narrative intent, however, is that the wizard is reading from their book, but the only mechanical requirement is that the wizard has the spell in their spellbook. - ?

1. Armed with a spine of earthly wind, an astral vessel can sail through a portal into the Material Plane and darken the sky of your game world. - "затенить" как-то не звучит, а больше ничего в голову не приходит...

2. Logically speaking, it`s difficult to rationalize why the fate of the world might hang on the success or failure of the PC mission to slay the lich-queen in the Astral Plan, when Elminster could have gone and done it himself as soon as the invasion began. - ?

Спасибо!

1. Destroying the spine releases the angry elemental to the Material Plane and causes the ship’s flight magic to fail, sending it plummeting to the ground. When a control skull is destroyed, the astral ship travels at its highest speed in whatever direction the ship is pointing until it collides with an object large enough to stop it or until the ship is sufficiently damaged to destroy it. - ?

2. If they still talk about how they cleared all the undead creatures and deadly traps from the fabled Tomb of Horrors, how would they feel upon learning that the place is now the site of a githyanki outpost? In a similar vein, the githyanki might capture a citadel that the PCs shed much blood defending In years past. In either case, the PCs might actually gain some advantage over the githyanki by virtue of their intimate knowledge of the occupied area. This tactic provides an excellent excuse for you to build an entirely new adventure around a dungeon map you have used before - even one that your players already have a copy of! - ?

Тут случайно отделили мои предыдущие вопросы и ответы на них в другую тему, но спасибо!)

1. On The Astral Plane, the githyanki commonly wage war from massive astral ships. Such vessels can be equivalent in size to anything from a small keelboat with room for a single squad of soldiers to a massive galleon that can carry hundreds of troops. Powered by magic sails that catch the motion of astral energies, these ships are normally useless on the Material Plane, where no such arcane winds blow. - ?

2. Reusing elements of your campaign in this way gives players an emotional investment in the invasion that goes a step beyond their concern for the campaign world in which they have been adventuring. Their familiarity with a particular person, place, or item can also give them an edge in a fight that might otherwise prove overwhelming - and in the Incursion campaign, anything that helps the players feel that they are doing well is an invaluable element. - ?

Всем спасибо!

1. Maybe she simply wishes to die (or enter demilichdom) on the homeworld of her ancestors. Or perhaps the lich-queen is frantically seeking some due to the whereabouts of Gith, the primordial founder of the race, who disappeared into the pits of Hell untold centuries ago. Signs and prophecies seem to point to Gith's imminent return, and the lich-queen seeks to either hasten or prevent that event. - ?

2. One way to increase the impact of the githyanki invasion upon your campaign world is to ensure that its repercussions affect people, places, and things with which the PCs are familiar. This technique doesn't necessarily boil down to a “hit them where it hurts” philosophy, although that tactic can be useful in moderation. It`s more about weaving a variety of elements from the ongoing campaign into the overarching theme of the invasion. - ?

Спасибо!

1. Farmers and traveling merchants often report the same kinds of attacks, perhaps even by the same types of beasts, in each of these areas. If the reports are studied together, it can be determined that the same small group of lycanthropes is conducting the attacks. Instead of a massive multipronged attack, a few move all over the Silver Marches seemingly at will. How have they done this? There can be one answer for a group so disorganized as they: portals. - ?

2. The invasion ts the key element of an incursion campaign, whatever the reasoning behind it. Your next important decision is where the githyanki will arrive. There are two primary options, and your choice depends on several factors. Do you want the invasion to take center stage in your campaign immediately, or come into play gradually? Do you want its greatest impact to be at the center of your campaign activity or in outlying areas? if you want the invasion to become the center of your campaign right away and possibly to have a large impact on your primary campaign area, then let the githyanki arrive right in the center of activity. Otherwise, choose a location more distant from the campaign’s action for the invasion to begin. - ?

1. According to the game, this divine corpse was lost long ago in a deep chasm in the Wasting Desert on the world of Pharagos, but you might decide that it's resting in a desolate wilderness area of your own campaign world. Wherever it lies, the corpse is surrounded by a maelstrom of magical activity and guarded by a panoply of outsiders — either celestials or fiends. - ?

2. How to Incorporate Mithral Tree Portal Into Your Campaign
Silverymoon is a popular stop for adventurers -- especially the kind of adventuring party that would be eager to help Mithral Hall. Rather than send fighters from Silverymoon, the PCs might be asked to go to check things out and, if necessary, take action.
Someone in the party may be related to the Mithral Hall dwarves or to the farmer or farmhand that was attacked, and he or she may wish to go to the Silver Marches to assist in any necessary vengeance. - ?
