It does not, dragonborn are humanoid creatures by type. I believe it would apply to half-dragon templated creatures though.

I have been using it in an Eberron game that I started recently. I have 1 Kalashtar, 1 Warforged and two Dragonmarked giving the use rate for that book as 4/4. My players have enjoyed the byte sized lore bits on each of the places, because it is easier for them to learn what they need to. In...

If anyone wants to know who these announcements appealed to, you can just point to me. I am ecstatic about both announcements. My first full 5e campaign was set in Eberron and ended last year after 2.5 years of play. We took a break to explore other things, but my Eberron love was always there...

Two options, one boring, one that sounds sweet to me. 1) It's really good at looking like other warforged. It can pass off as a dock worker warforged, a cook warforged etc. Give it that Hitman vibe. Meh. 2) It's like a replicant or the T-1000, has a skin layer and understands some of the basics...

The use case is for ranged characters, or melee characters that want to move past a front line. So, if you are an archer, the enemy moves next to you, makes its attacks, then you can move 10 feet away, and not have to worry about taking an AOO or getting disadvantage to attack on your turn...

I guess I don't understand your reading of. "Spells Known and Prepared. You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class." The example is quite clear. If you are a Pally 6 Bard 14 you are at 17th level according...

I was already excited enough for Ravnica, but getting this on this day was basically the best possible. Reading over the guide now, it is very spicy. I love it. The writeups on all the races is perfect. Warforged definitely give that first read WOW! with their armor shifting abilities, but...

The asterisk is referring to the Arcana Domain, which is in SCAG.

The Ioun Stone of mastery does exactly that, and it's Legendary. Given how many things proficiency bonus touches it looks like they wanted to keep boosts to that low (Given that it's +skills, saves, attacks and is doubled with expertise). Something that blanket reduces your overall PB should...

I voted other because I want to play in a setting that the GM is passionate and knowledgable about, without being to obsessed. In my own experience I have played with a DM who had read a great deal of the FR books in a FR game, and it's great, he knows about the world and it feels rich and...

After a more through reading not much changes for old elf lore lovers, I assume. Unless I am grossly misreading it, all good elves go to heaven for some time, then get reborn. Drow and heathen elves never get to go to elf heaven, and their souls just go where souls go. You can resurrect...

How much damage do you think a 5th level spell should do? It's 1 hour with concentration, so I would expect it to last for 2 to 3 fights, less if your cleric doesn't hide every turn. Assuming a ~5 round combat our super buffed ranger gets an extra 2d8 * 5 (rounds) * 2 (attacks) * 3 (combats) or...

My quick take is that they are going to be destroyed by the dragon unless they get off a lucky disabling spell or do some exciting shenanigans like dimension door up to the dragon with the monk and stun it. One fun option might be to have the dragon fight among pillars of stone or something...

I'm pretty firmly in the camp of "I don't find it to be a concern" both from a mechanical and from a storytelling perspective. My main lack of concern comes from the part where most of the dramatic storytelling comes from playing as a group. I had a level 11+ rogue in a Princes of the...

I have something similar in my 5e Curse of the Crimson Throne game. Every in game month I generate a few treasure hoards and use the fairly handy Sane Magical Item Prices for 5e PDF to price what items are available in the store for the month. The party usually ends up buying a few potions then...
