Flying carpet. How durable do you rule it is? How easy do you rule it is to be knocked off it?

Are vampires and their spawn kinda anemic for their CRs? Just looking over them makes them seem like the just won't have the offensive output to be much a challenge for their respective CRs. Sure they can get allies (but those are worth XP in their own right and take an action +1d4 rounds to...

Death - should the departed's family have an intrinsic right to the body? Should governments tell families, "Sorry, their rights end when they do, living people need these organs." After all, one can't refuse an autopsy on religious grounds IIRC, how much more difference does it make if the...

After jumping up to grab a ledge and climbing up, are you also then standing from prone (costing you half a move's worth of movement)? 1 square = 1 foot

Just curious about this one. Do Push effects work on ( thus dismount ) riders? Mount rules are kinda light and was wondering on other folk's opinions. Edit: The Basic rules and PHB account for the mount being pushed and proned, and the rider being proned, yet the rider getting pushed was a...

One thing I've found that helps me understand a module I'm preparing is taking the time to mark out where each creature defaults to in the module's lay out. It's a little time consuming, but it helps me IMMENSELY to grasp how things are laid out and who might come running if PCs call attention...

Looking over the vaugely worded Find Mount spell, I can't help but ponder just what, if anything a mounted paladin gets over a person normally riding a typical warhorse. How do folks around here treat the Spell / Paladin mount. Has any of the wotc crew commented on this spell?

While the subject of expanding the game's spell selection to round out the various energy damage types, I realized just how out of sync Meteor Swarm's damage is when compared to the DMG's spell creation guidelines and in fact ALL other spells. Ignoring it's huge range and area, it deals 20d6...

That would be a fun read. Do we have any compiling of Dev’s quotes to try and build a rough Companion Pamphlet?

How are folks handling effects that push when there isn't open space for targets to go to or the path is blocked by other creatures? No where to go, no push? No where to go, go prone? Get squeezed* into smaller area? *squeezing doesn't really do much when it comes to medium since Medium and...

Forked thread... Do other folks think 5E foes too often lack ranged attacks? I know I was kind of disappointed that there didn't seem to be any fiends that had eldritch blasts especially after many of their 'classic' spells got clipped. The CR rules DO make adding in ranged attacks very easy...

So how are folks feeling about the passive perception system? While I'm digging it, it seems possible others might not. It definitely makes hiding far more feasible since one doesn't have to worry about a whole group of folks shooting dice hoping for high numbers. But that alone might irk other...

The low end of the monster spectrum is refereed to as CR 0, being worth 10xp if they pose a threat to PCs, with CR1/8ths being worth 2.5 as much XP. But the question is how are DMs making use of these lowest foes? Do you use them a few times when the party can't handle other foes, ignoring them...

Since the monster palette is temporarily down to the MM1, I'm wondering what classic monsters DMs are reskinning current monsters for. MM points out this for explicitly similar monsters, but I'm wondering how far DMs are fleshing out the enemy rosters. Here's a couple ideas I've had... Commoner...
