Thanks for pointing this out, that’s better than what I could've said to explain it. The DM can always make changes without adhering to any limitations, but if they are a good DM, they'll at least try to be consistent. And that’s the least I expect from professional writers. (And I similarly expect them to wait for the actual rules of the system to be published before writing an adventure.)
I love this gem. The only thing they got a but wrong is that Bardic inspiration could actually be whispered, since it only requires the target to be able to hear you.
It is in this regard. It might be poorly balanced, but there are rules for things like the sound a spell makes or the specific spells available to NPCs. There are a lot more rigid systems, but DnD definetly isn’t on the casual side either.
Glad someone else knows it. As a player who frequently had to transcribe spells into roll20, I always just assume other people know the components certain spells take to cast and then end up confused if they don’t.
Yes they could. But they did not. That's what I'm crititicising. Perception is one of the most used skills ever. It would not have hurt not to use it here. And if you really want to, then give her some kind of ability that actually let's her do that, because these kind of things can be missleading to new players/DMs and put extra work on the DM.
And I really like less strict systems like M&M too, but if you write something in a more rigid system, you should adhere to the rules of that system. Or in this case: You shouldn't start writing full on adventures in an unfinished system.
Because it would make subtle-spell kind of redundant and why even use components in the first place if they cannot be used to tell you are casting something?
Is that some kind of company? Or am I missing a very obvious joke?
How do you know all that?
But they are polished equally on each side, right?
The pearl does not get consumed though. Buy it once, use it indefinetly.
Statistically it comes up 5% of the time you use a hero point, so yeah, about as often as rolling a nat 20.
I habe no idea what this is, but it sounds incredibly whacky.
It also makes the Rhino a fairly competent celestial warrior.
Wait what?
Because a flying Rhino is a pretty absurd rules interaction.
From playing a Sci-Fi campaign once, I can confirm that this is true.
Option one sounds a lot cooler and more impressive, but option two sounds funnier.
"Should jail sentence time be based on race?" will allways be one of my favourite posts ever.

I feel you. I'm currently planning to run it someday and there are just so many things I'll definetly change.

Some do. I know I do. It limits what casters can do at least a little.
