Green Flame Blade is easy. Can't be twinned by dent of affecting multiple targets.

Why can't you just drop the snark, Yakk? If you tried as hard to consider my argument and address the points I make as you are trying to cast my logic as absurd, then we could continue the debate. If you don't have an actual rebuttal and just want to continue with this foolishness of pretending...

Cute. I'm glad you brought up ray of frost. Its a perfect counterpoint example. First of all, the text about Twinned Spell on PHB. 102 specifically and clearly says that ray of frost is eligible. No one doubts that and no one has ever made a thread about it, so while imitating my argument is...

There is a particular reason and I've said it before. Here it is again. If the requirement (implicit in the word "must") was a price in gold rather than "make an attack with a melee weapon" no one would be arguing that twinning the spell puts the needed gold in the casters pocket. Yes the...

Except that you cherry picked what I wrote out of context. "Making naughty word up" was in reference to the invention of some fluff to justify an interpretation of mechanics. Specifically whoever it was who said "maybe its a ghost arm" or " "maybe the spell makes it so you only need half the effort to...

You don’t have to be as smart as me to think for yourself.

“Booming energy” is fluff.

No it’s not. There are hundreds of pages of core books and supplements devoted to explaining how magic works in D&D. A single word is not good enough a justification for the argument in favor of this exploit. It’s lazy. Most spells, including Booming Blade, include fluff text in the spell...

That’s a pretty weak answer. “Magic” can only suspend disbelief so far. There is nothing in the spell description that says it gives the caster faster arms. Making the successful weapon attack is a REQUIREMENT of the spell, not an effect of the spell. That’s what the word “must” does here. it...

This discussion, while occasionally invoking the name of “natural language”, wholly ignores common sense. These game rules are an abstraction of a fiction. In the fiction, if a character was physically capable of performing two weapon attacks (swinging a sword for example) in the same turn in...

There's a Kuo-toa with a grappling weapon, a pincer. While DMing and pitting these creatures against my players I was unsure how to resolve the mechanics. That pincer has a 10' reach. I wanted to swing a grappled PC into an area where they would be subjected to damage. I treated that as a shove...

I think you nailed it

If I was a cleric playing at your table under these rules, I would be pissed. These two spells are core to the cleric’s class. The whole idea is that a cleric is constantly in touch with her deity and can ask THEM for guidance at almost any time. Its like whispering a little prayer. “Lord of...

I downloaded those files, but the actual stat blocks themselves do not appear to be smart objects as you would expect them to be. They are just flattened layers and therefore cannot be edited. The archive contains a layered file for all the other elements including the variant block, but not the...

I fail to see how I you fail to see since your reply makes my point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I DMed the entire campaign. I had at least one TPK due to the party making poor choices that had nothing to do with which dungeon they were in. Its a deadly campaign! Good thing about cults is that they like to do ritual sacrifices. Have the party captured instead of TPKd if they get in over...

I've found it to be more like 5-8 between long rests. They may take 2-3 short rests during that time. Thats what tier two looks lime anyway. At tier one, when hit dice are lower, players tend to blow their resources faster. So that feels like maybe 3-5 good fights before a long rest.

I think it all depends on how you play the monsters. It I use tactics I can make a "hard" encounter deadly

Nope
