    Keep in mind that the option to swap out the stat bonus gained as characters advance through every 4th or 5th level can be changed to gaining a feat or couple of professional / skill points.

    D&D 5E Should D&D go away from ASIs?

    From my experience one of the ideas about awarding ASI points is that it reflects character development in the general STAT/s that would grow as the character advanced. Not only would the character develop physically but also mentally. Yes this is reflected in gained skills as well as...

    D&D 5E Counterspell - Do I know my foes' spell before I counter?

    Need to reply here: "Your point is well taken. However, I do believe that the "bounded accuracy" built into 5th edition helps mitigate this problem. Even a non-proficient character has a decent (not fantastic) chance to succeed on an Arcana check if they have a high intelligence (as most...

    D&D 5E Counterspell - Do I know my foes' spell before I counter?

    Fireballs See the weave - Be the weave Counter spelling is not actually knowing the spell you are countering, it is more of blocking the spell effect (Whatever that may be) by applying magic force to magic force to interfere with the opposing casters intended spell.
