A Barbarian is not typically going to have the Charisma to use the feat's influence mechanic effectively and a Barbarian is typically a class you want to give help to, not a class that you use your action to help. This could be workable, but it is a highly specialized corner case. Also I...

Suboptimal is suboptimal and there is a material statistical difference with +1. You can argue it is not that significant, but it absolutely is there and it absolutely is suboptimal. Further, the problem is not +1, it is actually +2 when you consider the mismatch exists on both the background...

They really screwed up the Cult of the Dragon background and feats. The Background gives you Constitution, Dexterity and Intelligence, the origin feat uses Wisdom for your save DC and the Dragonscarred level 4 feat boosts Constitution or Charisma. This is a mess for just about any build. On...

Yep and that is more or less what I said way back on the first post I made about this before I was told I was wrong and RAW only the hit that takes you to 0 does damage and there is no other way to interpret it.

The first problem is in an attempt to defend your position you take a statement from a dated manual out of context and interpret it in a way that is quite arguable and certainly not explicit. Then when it is pointed out that your odd interpretation is refuted multiple places (3 places in the...

Yep because you know you are wrong and you did say it.

I didn't quote you at all in that post. I linked your post #269 (Ironically you claimed earlier to have linked a post 3 times but never did in this thead that I see). Go read your last sentence on the post #269 that I linked .... i.e. "at the very bottom of the post" like I instructed you to...

I think if he blocks you that you won't be able to see his posts unless you log out.

Here is some more on this: 2014 DMG "These optional rules make it easier or harder for adventurers to recover from injury, either increasing or reducing the amount of time your players can spend adventuring before rest is required ..... this optional rule prolongs the amount of time that...

Yes you did, right here (at the very bottom of the post): https://www.enworld.org/threads/is-5e-better-because-of-crawford-and-perkins-leaving.716340/post-9813594 So I guess you admit you are wrong now? But it is a rule that speaks directly and is IN CONTEXT to what we are talking about...

No they don't say that. It is what you cliam they say and it is preposterous. If they really said what you claim you would be able to provide the exact wording supporting that claim and you can't. Again you avoid posting what you are actually claiming. Being injured and showing signs of...

I play over 20 hours of D&D a week. Of course it is all anecdotal, but it lines up pretty well with the data scraped from places like D&D Beyond. The most recent data I have seen from 2023 has Tieflings, Halflings, Aasimar and Gnomes as the least popular PHB races, in that order (most popular...

Niether your earlier posts, nor the rules actually say what is in red. There is some wording about cuts and bruises but not this. Ignoring that for a moment: So you have a stinger or something with poison, then the hit causes damage, but if you don't there is no damage until you get to 0 hps...

You didn't put any links in any of your posts on this thread. So what do you mean by "linking it a third time"

Well I personally play a lot of Halflings .... and I am part of all of "ECMO3's groups". It is probably my favorite race or maybe Human is, but it is top 2 for me personally. I don't see a lot of other people I play with who play Halflings though and it is one of the rarest PHB races overall...
