But because a paralyzed creature in 2014 is incapacitated and can't move or speak. And move there is a word that means different things to different people, right? Some people say all that means is you cannot leave the square you're in because your speed is zero, where some people means you can't blink, you can't shift your eyes. And while game mechanically, that might not be a big deal.

Me being able to move my eyes and give hints to where a creature might have gone or. blink twice to tell me the answer to this is a huge story thing for a game and so now with 2024 paralyzed we have your speed is zero and can't increase all your incapacitate so you can't take actions But what now does that mean in terms of what you can do within the parameters of all of those different riders?

Can you blink? Can you whistle? It's not speaking. So it's still a question that is unanswered and will change from table to table.

Yep. And the rest are very, very similar. I think the stunned condition, since incapacitated... change to say you can move i don't think the 2024 stunned condition says you can't move and unless i'm wrong uh i can look it up relatively quickly that is interesting uh so stunned i don't see it saying that you can't move

right incapacitated so it's incapacitated removed that writer of you can't move and stunned yeah So you can move when stunned, which is interesting. You can move while stunned at this point. Will that be changed? We'll find out. And the last thing is the prone condition. I just wanted to make this note because I thought it was hilarious.

In 2014, a prone creature's only movement option is to crawl unless it stands up and thereby ends the condition. Say you knock something without a form prone. Can a jelly stand up? So what they did in 2024 was your only movement options are to crawl or to spend an amount of movement equal to half your speed to, quote, right yourself and thereby end the condition.

So they've gotten rid of stand up and added right yourself. And I thought, that's hilarious and super pedantic, but... By golly, with the rules lawyers out there, sometimes you have to be super pedantic and therefore ruin the game for everyone. So it's just it's it's hilarious and terrifying. And that's where we stand.

Right.

Right.

Well, it's. They've tried so hard to make everything mean something, and then you get this and are not aware of your surroundings. what does that mean? Can you see? Why not add the blinded condition when you're unconscious?

Well, it's. They've tried so hard to make everything mean something, and then you get this and are not aware of your surroundings. what does that mean? Can you see? Why not add the blinded condition when you're unconscious?

Yeah, you've got all those conditions right there. Why not use them? Why say unaware of your surroundings, which could, for some people, that means I can do anything because while I'm unaware of my surroundings, it doesn't mean I can't

Interesting. Yeah. And I've, I mean, in the game design I'm doing for Grim Hollow right now, we're using bloody a lot. nice because i remember that from you know third fourth edition and uh it was you could do a lot of cool things with it tactically that didn't add a lot of weight to the game right right so yeah
