Would "Restore the lives, minds, and souls of all the loved ones, friends, family, allies, or innocents our team has lost to violence, during combat, or due to Star Bane or Hadar. " be too much for a wish spell? Cause Nightfrost, Smeek, Bim, the Beastwalker on the ship, the Elinasto family and employees in the home, the Nun, possibly even the guardians drained by Herald, and maybe even Siaska and the Wild Elves? LOL I know It is too much and also just vague enough to have serious consequences.

Did I just witness the following conversation happen among 5 GROWN ADULTS? "What would the aim of enlarge be?" "I'd fall faster, right?" "Well terminal velocity is a thing." Oh my sweet chaotic high rollers.

[@Kerrigore2]

Also, for anyone not aware, all other things being equal, heavy objects do not fall faster than light objects. Assuming the laws of physics are the same in Astral Space, I suppose.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

@@Kerrigore2 I was thinking the same thing. Newton was rolling on his grave for a bit. Lol

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Trott had the best answer to that debate; "You'll land heavier, thats for sure."

[@MemeSupreme69]

But steel is heavier than feathers.

[@darraghevans7271]

Ok only at the break rn and a bit late to the party but did anyone else picture nova doing a superhero landing after the fall and then quill dive bombing and flying out over her as the both rush to the ship then picturing Aila pulling the door off.

Gotta admit. My first time seeing slow-blink, and honestly, it was worth every moment.

[@SadBoi_1066]

Anyone can attempt to disarm!! They get this wrong EVERY time. Its in the combat section of the dmg. Its an attack roll vs an Athletics or Acrobatics check. Battlemasters can use Disarming Strike, which disarms and does damage simultaneously, but they are not the only ones who can simply disarm people!!! Anyone can do it!

[@RokuroCarisu]

Right. The special thing with Battle Masters is that they can disarm and deal damage with the same action.

[@melissamarriott5731]

Hahaha another great episode! But to address the important topic of Vegemite- we do have Vegemite in New Zealand (but its viewed as distinctly Australian). We also have Marmite (which is New Zealand's mite of choice, left the whole country reeling during the great Marmite shortage "Marmageddon" of 2012) BUT it's VERY different to British marmite, which is branded as "Our Mate" here. Noone eats it except expats. Its complicated.

[@Derploop]

Controversial vegimite statement. I think the reality is that anyone sane ackowledges that they're both crap.

[@melissamarriott5731]

​@@Derploop Your statement's totally fair, I'll take it. (Vegemite is, in fact, the superior mite tho)

That stunt of Nova reminded me of the final battle of Katara VS Azula in Avatar the last airbender. So epic!

Quill and Nova are the chaos twins of Aerois. Really 😂 By the way, converting to human years, isn't Quill almost the same age as Nova? Or even younger? Because this drop immediately made me think "family trait".

[@cuttlefishhh]

Quill is three years old, so I’d say he’s about the same age as Nova.. I think?

[@willgraham9867]

I think Mark's most recent Australasian accent is very much North Island Maori who lives on the Australian Gold Coast. Previous ones are very mixed bits of generic NZer and outback Australia. I think they are probably the best versions I've ever heard across all media over all time. Very well done. "Choice Bro". Kim, consider encouraging the crew to push the whole "hit the like and subscribe on youtube" stuff. It does have a big effect on growing the channel and getting those sweet sweet ad-dollars (pounds)

[@IceKyuubi]

With Zaksrauvas(?) Only in it for themselves, them broadcasting that they were turning in thw Aerois gang for the bounty meant that they and maybe a few others that didnt fall for it would still be tracking them down. Or Zaks would hire help that he knows or blackmailed to not betray them and share(?) The bounty or trade it for the blackmail material, only for Zaks to probably have something else on them Also, that spy network!! It's probably going to be very useful

[@mme.veronica735]

31:00 debatable rule Reckless attack says "...advantage on melee weapon attacks..." Now does this mean *melee* weapon attacks or *melee weapon* attacks. I do not know

[@HawkUnleashed]

I would count it though its a bit odd. Reckless throwing a hammer seems like a barbarian thing, rule of cool xD

[@MS5]

Because there is no hyphen, it would technically be melee 'weapon-attack', so not ranged I think. (As opposed to melee-weapon attack, which would count for a hammer being thrown).

[@mme.veronica735]

@@MS5 The book never uses a hypen when specificing ranged/melee weapon attacks as far as I'm aware

[@dr.cobotnik2091]

just trust your DM and have fun

[@TheOscarvarium]

*Adjusts glasses* Actually, throwing the hammer is a ranged weapon attack, it just happens to be using a melee weapon. The difference between a "ranged weapon attack" and an "attack using a ranged weapon" is also important in places like the sharpshooter feat. But, as always, it's entirely their game and how they want to play. The rulebook doesn't really matter if they don't want him to.
