    D&D 5E An issue with the Tavern Brawler feat

    I can see larger towns actually using AM fields to circumvent magic users. Actually, that gives me a good idea for a few adventure hooks. The party having to go to a town to complete some mission and suddenly finds that they cannot use magic and in order to enter must leave their weapons under...

    D&D 5E An issue with the Tavern Brawler feat

    Sorcerers and Wizards don't have proficiency in clubs, so they'd still view them as candlesticks and use a d4. At which point the Tavern Brawler feat would allow them to gain their proficiency and other bonuses gained from the feat. The interesting question that then comes to mind is if TB...

The attack roll just does not benefit from the character's proficiency bonus. Congrats, that wizard can wield that...

    D&D 5E DMG - breaking bounded accuracy already?

    For those of you who have problems with BA, I'd ask you how you would have solved the problem yourself. As someone who has a very little bit of experience in game design I know that often the mechanics and game systems you create do not always work as you have intended or even as you would like...

    D&D 5E DMG - breaking bounded accuracy already?

    Personally, I plan on treating the Manuals/Tomes as there being only one of each in existence and each vanishing after use to reappear randomly again after another 100 years.
