    D&D 5E No Monsters Immune to Stun?

    For official dev take: https://www.sageadvice.eu/2016/01/15/monster-against-monks-stun/ It's not much but: Q: so is it on purpose that hardly any if not all monsters are vulnerable to stun. Monks can keep stunning? A: Absolutely on purpose. It's good to be the monk! Says it was very...

    D&D 5E Elven Accuracy

    I think it was downvoted because it was potentially too strong, and completely uninteresting. It is a power bonus on a feat that also allows +1 ability point. Also realistically, it doesn't do much for builds that don't care about crit a lot. If you already have advantage, you are probably...

    D&D 5E Using a quarterstaff one handed?

    To the point of "That person isn't using it as a simple weapon" that has zero meaning in 5e. A person is proficient or not in a weapon. There is no double, triple training in weapons like in 2e. A wizard using a staff is just as good at fighting with it as a fighter is. The fighter just knows...

    D&D 5E How do they generate revenue?

    I think they also took their lesson from the previous edition as: Don't spend time and money developing tools. License the tools and licenses out, let other people take the risks, and you get the profit either way. Hence why you have DnD Beyond, roll20, and Fantasy grounds. Soon to be the...

    D&D 5E How might this custom magic item be broken? Try to break my campaign.

    First: Sending stones are pairs. So I am assuming you are breaking this restriction and all are considered paired. Second: Sending stones grant comprehension of your message to any creature with the stone with at least 1 Int (all creatures). So you now have a universal translator laying about...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's: Ranger - Gloom Stalker

    This is not the actual wording of the ability. The wording is you are invisible to a target if it can only see you due to darkvision.

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

    You realize demiplane + glyph allows you to prepare and cast a large number of concentration only spells on yourself simultaneously. Right? It also gives a VERY good way to transport hostile or vulnerable creatures (who cannot planar travel themselves). Most importantly is it can be the SAME...

    D&D 5E High Level Zealot Barbarians Immortal?

    I would be inclined to agree with the rules on effects with same name stacking. You can rage while raging, it doesn't add to the duration, it replaces it. So if you had 1 round left, and raged, you would have 10 rounds left, not 11. But you could rage again. Using the term "enter" as some...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's and Counterspell

    I think the real issue is that there is a plethora of issues. Identifying the spell requiring a reaction basically negates the use of shield/counterspell without a team (even then plenty of dms allow you to call out as a free action ON YOUR TURN, not at any given moment) AND the fact the DC for...

    D&D 5E My 20th Level Rogue wants to use Stroke of Luck to tame a demonically possessed red dragon...

    TL:DR You cannot win via claiming an absurd skill check. Skill checks cannot achieve the impossible. There is no auto-success on skill checks. "I want to use an Insight check to see what his relationship with his father was when he was a teenager. " OK, well you don't have any method of...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's and Counterspell

    Obviously their familiar uses its reaction to identify the spell and the wizard uses his telepathic link to gain that information.

    D&D 5E Comparison of Ranger Pets

    1. If you look at the comment for barding. I did specify that it was a DM judgement call. However, putting barding on a velociraptor would almost certainly be breaking the rules for any non-light armor. Barding doesn't give specifics for sizing, it always weighs 2x normal weight and costs 4x...

    D&D 5E Comparison of Ranger Pets

    The green ones are just my personal favorites. If you look hover over their black triangle, I give some brief thoughts about each of them. I can't give a mathematical formula, they just have something that I like: Giant snake has lots of damage, flying snake has no save, Deep Rothe has highest...

    D&D 5E Comparison of Ranger Pets

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KeTdmnBN6Nex1wTY__WTFGCruqEEcd-9o149t0dGA3E/edit?usp=sharing I made a google sheet with some info for comparing potential Ranger Animal Companions. Let me know if your favorite is missing or other mistakes. They are sorted by CR/Alphabetically. I...

    D&D 5E Simulacrum - Sorcery Points?

    Honestly I think the intent was to copy an old iconic spell and hope no one has to ever deal with it, because its a horribly powerful broken spell. And when wished: removes the limiting aspects of time and money. There isn't a way to balance a spell that *almost* doubles your spell slots for...

    D&D 5E Simulacrum - Sorcery Points?

    RAW: It can regen anything that isn't specifically spell slots. Even HP as it is given a way to heal using are herbs and minerals, but doesn't say it can't regen hp using long or short rests or healing spells. However, your DM is going to be the ultimate arbiter when dealing with grossly broad...

    D&D 5E Mercer's Gunslinger Martial Archetype: Good, Bad, or Ugly?

    One of them is a hand mortar, that probably has significantly more kick than a heavy crossbow.

    D&D 5E Mercer's Gunslinger Martial Archetype: Good, Bad, or Ugly?

    The biggest issues with Gunslinger is: Guns themselves: Carrying multiple weapons negates the reload penalty and misfire properties, and 250g isn't much compared to say, full plate. None of the weapons are Heavy, despite 4 of them weighing 10+ lbs. (a greatsword is heavy at 6 lbs)...
