Great story dawg, thanks for sharing

Holy power creep

But alas, they were all deceived, for another version was made...

LFG Humanity! We fuckin WIN THESE go TEAM

There's weight classes like boxing, so think of it like one 150lb fighter verse a team of one 100lb and a second 50lb fighter. Both still make weigh-in, just different strats.

THE DAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

Using your example, I meant it in the sense that the DM could have just as easily said 30 minutes of following as a cat instead of 40 and you would have 25% more wildshape resources, an entire box extra.

Things like Ki points can't be fudged. You either use it or you don't. This solution, while I enjoy the discourse, is going to end with the druid at my table saying that they're only turning into a mouse for a few seconds while they scurry under the door. How do we handle that occurring 10+ times a session? At what point do we need too many house rules to govern this one rule change?

In the interest of discussion, I'll offer an alternative. What if you had Wildshape Charges instead of Wildshape Minutes? Feel free to change the numbers, but let's say you have 8 charges at level 5, and gain 1 or 2 charges per level. It takes 4 charges to transform into a CR2 animal, 2 charges for a CR 1, and a flat 1 charge for anything below CR 1. The amount of time you can Wildshape stays the same, or is a flat hourly amount. This will allow you to strategically plan out your Wildshape Charges while adding no additional rules for the DM or table. Thoughts?

Hell yeah we love to see it

Yes, and no. This is an unanswerable question.

Negligence, ineptitude, and mistakes happen in every field and medicine, education, and parenting are no different.

There is pain in being diagnosed correctly just as much as there is incorrectly. The question we should be asking instead for both sides of the aisle is how do we best deliver knowledge, support, and care in the correct format to those who need it?

What a great example for the community you are, my guy. I love it.

Speaking up, knowing you don't have the full answer but can at least point in a general direction, is HUGE in a community full of constant and rapid change where the previous years information could already be outdated or even obsolete.

Guillotines, when?

Sun roots?
