Wow, still going to the Drizzt well, huh? the idea of a Good PC from an Alignment Evil Race/Species had been considered a hackneyed eye-roller half way through Third Edition, if not sooner.

My uncle is asking about 5E and Pathfinder as games for his teenagers.

Did they ever write skills for 5E? Like does the DMG or the full PHB or something have DCs for anything? Are there mechanics for crap like weather and swimming and breath holding and so on?

No. No and No. No, Yes, Yes, Maybe.

The entire Rage of Demons thing seems like a parody I would write of how a D&D cross marketing event would look if it was made up by corporate suits who had no idea what D&D even was. It's an event that stars a popular character, much like you'd see from a comic book franchise or something. But um... it doesn't star your characters like a D&D adventure path is supposed to. I mean seriously, what the fuck?

I believe you mean "Hasbro"
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

I so don't want to know, and yet I'm curious...
