The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
Now we know for a fact that all creatures can recover their HP over a short rest, which means nothing is really getting hit until that last blow
Edit: And it looks like you can now punch the Tarrasque to death, since it's only immune to damage from nonmagical weapons, and unarmed strikes are no longer classified as weapons.
Er, the Player's Handbook errata document listed here and on the WotC site seem to link to version 1.21 of the errata PDF, which came out in 2016. I already had version 1.22, dated 2017. What am I missing here?
Continuing the previously-issued command on subsequent rounds would've been a much more compelling choice, it's unclear if that would've been enough to fix the Beast Master but this certainly doesn't feel sufficient.
Okay, the errata for the true polymorph spell says:
In the “Creature into Object” subsection (p. 284), the following text is appended to the first sentence: “, as long as the object’s size is no larger than the creature’s size.
That's already in the sentence, but the sentence (in the first printing) also continues to state "and the creature’s challenge rating is 9 or lower."
So, is this extraneous or are they saying to get rid of the bit about CR 9?
I am glad that the beast master was just given errata rather than rule changes.
There is nothing broken about it to fix.
It is good that they spell out that it can spend hit rice and take reactions. We always played it that way but good to have that clarification for people.
An extra body on the battlefield which usually has great mobility is underrated.
