This week my DM told me half-way through my extra attack sequence that when nothing is in your hands except your two-handed weapon, removing one hand takes your free interaction even though it costs nothing to drop the weapon (removing both hands!), and that re-gripping it takes another object...

Again, the issue is that when players are deciding which race to choose, since variant human (and presumably custom lineage) is unavailable and every race begins with a feat, then getting a feat is not part of your race choice. So why would anyone choose six +1s and ZERO racial features over a...

Your campaign, your choice of course. If I were to play in such a campaign, I would not play human PCs. Why would I give up getting ANY racial features AT ALL, in return for -1 on my main stat and +1 on my 3rd, 4th, 5th and sixth stats? The top two stats are usually the ones I care about; why...

I'm making a clockwork soul sorcerer for a heist one-shot. Level 5, Extended Spell metamagic. I want to cast this and other 8 hour duration spells (Aid, Gift of Alacrity) using Extended Spell to make them last 16 hours, then long rest, so I wake up with full spell slots and sorcery points while...

If your problem is with Moon druids, just ban that subclass; don't ban druids of other subclasses.

Scourge Aasimar: in Volo's, and in Wildemount, the Radiant Consumption ability reads: "...you can use your action to unleash the divine energy within yourself, causing a searing light to radiate from you, pouring out of your eyes and mouth, and threatens to char you." "....at the end of each of...

So you think the ability let's you perceive objects as transparent, ghostly images....but doesn't let you see through them to see what's on the other side? What would be the point of that?

Oops! It's in Xanathar's, not Tasha's. I've edited the original post.

Well, if the wall is transparent for you, then it by definition does not block the incoming light from reaching your eye, because that's how vision/transparency works. Right?

In tonight's game the warlock used his Ghostly Gaze invocation (Xanathar's p56):- "As an action, you gain the ability to see through solid objects to a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you have darkvision if you don't already have it. This special sight lasts for 1 minute or until your...

The trouble is that if the rules were to be read that way, since the Attack Action itself only allows one attack (it does), then 'grapple, divine smite, BS substitution, and maybe even sneak attack' can never be used ever! But the general rule is beaten by the specific rules for grapple, divine...

PHB p192: Actions In Combat: Attack:- With this action, you can make ONE melee or ranged attack. See the "Making an Attack" section for the rules which govern attacks. Certain features, such as the Extra Attack feature of the fighter, allow you to make more than one attack with this action. PHB...

Yeah, in the same way that casters shouldn't get more powerful (higher level) spells as they gain experience, Ideally, they should gain more 1st level spells to 'grow your characters in breadth'.

FIFY. When you see people picking the same feats as a reason to ban feats, it follows that people picking the same spells is a reason to ban spells. Really, your solution to the 'problem' of 'same-y'ness'....is to force ALL fighters to increase Str/Dex/Con?

Did anyone play a human?

Unfortunately, we couldn't infer how multi-classing works by looking at Elric's stat-block. : ) I'll be pleased if I get this spot-on after 40 years, but IIRC Elric was Fighter 13/Assassin 10/Magic-User 17. Is that right? Also, how did Stormbringer work? Was it a +5 two-handed sword that...

Thanks. I think one reason I was pleased is that we could now work out what a Dex of 19 gave us in 1e that an 18 didn't. Is that memory accurate?

In the same book, the Melnibonean Mythos detailed Elric's Companion, Moonglum. I remember feeling very pleased that he was dual-wielding scimitar and short sword, just like in the books. It's been 40+years, so I can't remember the details of the TWF for Moonglum, but I remember being happy...

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the game's mechanics (rules) in running the game. In D&D (and any other RPG I've ever seen) there are some things the rules do cover, and some things the rules don't cover. For the things the rules don't cover (like....breathing without...

Dash does NOT increase your speed! Dash lets you move your speed, in addition to moving your speed anyway.
