    D&D 5E If "Extra Attack" Was A Feat, What Would Its Prerequisites Be?

    10th level, martial proficiency and at least two maneuvers, only usable (proficiency bonus) times per long rest. When you make an attack action, you may use a bonus action to make a second attack. Yes, it's far slower and far inferior to the real thing; that's the point. I wouldn't give the...

    D&D (2024) Nerf to magic users?

    ...did folks somehow miss the Sen. Armstrong reference in the second one? It's not like you were subtle.

    D&D 5E Giving Classes an Additional Saving Throw? (+)

    I only have a few, but here's what I could come up with on short notice: Barbarian: Wis, sort of a mental reflection of their Con bonus (mental endurance to go with the physical). Bard: Int, because they seem like the sort to be able to notice when something is off. Druid: Con, as I think a...

    Fear of clowns is a real thing: coulrophobia.

    D&D General What is your favorite D&D cosmology?

    That took me longer than it really should have. Well played, though.

    D&D 5E WotC accused of white washing Ellywick Tumblestrum

    Ignore this. I tried and borked up a quote attempt.

    D&D 5E What is one hp of damage in real life?

    Either just a scratch if you have more, or a serious wound if it's your last HP. Seriously, though, IMHO they don't map in any useful way to "actual damage".

    D&D General Nobody likes an edition warrior.

    I think I'd rather have a dub/sub war, myself. :P

    Thank you for the heads-up. I'll go have a look at the others as well. :)

    Just dropping an anchor here so I can keep track of this. I look forward to seeing your work.

    D&D 5E No Monsters Immune to Stun?

    I think they're worried about having another situation like in 3E, where entire categories of monster were effectively immune to most of a character class's abilities. Remember, immunity to crits also made a monster immune to sneak attack damage and a ranger's favored foe bonus as well.

    D&D General D&D Band Names

    ...really, the single best D&D-themed band name already belongs to an actual band: Gygax.

    D&D General Too many cultists

    IMHO cultists are a go-to enemy for the same reason Nazis end up one in modern games--there's no moral ambiguity there. When your enemy literally wants to sacrifice people and bring about the destructive re-ordering of the world (or outright wants to end it), there's no real question about...

    D&D 5E Why did they design Demiplane to suck?

    So you're leaving them to be a problem for future generations? Maybe they have cultists/minions who will spend all kinds of time trying to free them? It sounds to me like you're justifying the traditional "unbeatable evil bound to protect the world" shtick. :)

    Weakening an elder evil

    I like it. The real test, though, is whether it works in your world. :)

    It sounds like you have a plan.

    Weakening an elder evil

    I can think of a few things your PCs might do to weaken an elder (or maybe 'eldrich', given that your villain isn't all *that* old) evil before the final battle. 1) The Frostfell Queen might have external power sources. She probably needed a whole lot of help to steal an entire god's power...
