This is one of the reasons why I really love D&D Beyond. The overwhelming majority of players in my 3 games are all brand new to D&D, but I've been able to create characters on D&D Beyond for them all after discussing what kind of character they'd like to play. All the hard stuff is just taken...

Right, we can just agree to disagree here. Shadow Blade has "shadow" right there in the name, and a dim light source like Dancing Lights doesn't magically create shadows in an area that is already brightly lit. If you're standing in the middle of an open field in full daylight, Dancing Lights...

Well, there's a pretty reasonable interpretation of Devil's Sight only working in darkness: devils can see really well in total darkness, and prefer to have no light at all. This was naturally confirmed by Jeremy Crawford: You also don't need to be standing in the darkness for the invocation...

I guess I just don't understand how you can read this: and think that Dancing Lights in an already-brightly lit area does what you say it does. If you're in the middle of a brightly-lit room, there aren't enough shadows for Shadow Blade to be extra good. The sword is made from the shadows...

Right, the PHB says: These categories are mutually exclusive, as indicated by the first sentence there. So, if the area is already in bright light and you cast Dancing Lights, the area is still brightly lit (especially because Dancing Lights doesn't explicitly say that it turns bright light...

To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with you -- I had been under the impression that Satine was their full-time Community Manager and was surprised when it was announced that her 1-year contract was up.

Even better: https://www.enworld.org/threads/want-a-job-as-wotcs-community-manager.666218/ Right here on ENWorld, Morrus posted: "For those who want to work at Wizards of the Coast, there's a new job opportunity opening up. Current Community Manager Satine Phoenix's contract expires this...

That's why I linked the relevant information about Lysa Penrose's contract being up in July, so you'd have all the relevant information. I'm almost certain that Satine posted something similar about her contract ending about a year ago. Just because they're posting about it on Twitter doesn't...

Satine had a year-long contract as social media manager for WOTC. Once her contract was up, they brought in Lysa Penrose, who recently announced that her contract was ending in July: There's no grand conspiracy there.

I thought the process was that D&D Beyond would incorporate the updates when the errata document gets updated on the WOTC website, which might come after the new print run is done. That's what happened the last time there was an errata release, in any case.

Yeah, we just started using Beyond20 and it makes things very simple for all my players. I've been using Roll20 as the DM for quite some time and so am used to all the quirks (though I recommend VTT Enhancement Suite to improve the Roll20 UI), and Beyond20 means that I'm really the only one...

To be clear, I completely agree with you. FrogReaver seems to be wanting to trap people into saying that nets do 0 damage, which means 0 + 10 = 10 with Sharpshooter. The PHB says nets don't do any damage, and my point was that if you want to translate that into a mathematical formula for some...

At this point, I think I'm glad FrogReaver blocked me after the Shield Master discussion. If we want to create a mathematical function to describe how much damage a net does, it's simply multiplication with zero. (any modifiers you try and add to net damage) * 0 = 0, done. Or, as most people...

I suspect the overlap of people who play without feats and people who read these forums is probably fairly small.

Fair enough, we can just agree to disagree. I've never said that the intent of War Magic has changed, and the latest Sage Advice Compendium confirms a difference between RAW and RAI for that feature. War Magic is not Shield Master, and JEC has gone out of his way to make that clear, which is...
