D&D (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

[DavyGreenwind]

What do they do?

The attack just misses, regardless of modifiers or AC.

The attack just misses, regardless of modifiers or AC.

Didn't it work that way already?

 

[DavyGreenwind]

This might be a bit obscure. The beasts seem to not need a saving throw to prone and perhaps poison enemies anymore. Does the primal companion of the land still prone enemies and do they still require a saving throw?

Yeah, prone on a hit if the beast moved 20 feet in a line. No save

Didn't it work that way already?

I was always under the impression that everyone already played that way, but it wasn't actually in the 2014 PHB. I could be mistaken!

Actually, alignment gets more attention! I was surprised. There are tables for characteristics based on alignment.

It was the official rule in 2014 as well.

If the d20 roll for an attack is a 1, the attack misses regardless of any modifiers or the target’s AC.

yes its actually on saving throws you might be thinking of (which is a change from 3e/4e and is often a forgotten rule in 5e).

In 5e a 1 or a 20 on a saving throw is NOT an auto miss/success. This is actually relevant at the highest levels, a creature with a high saving throw DC versus a character with their weakness save (and perhaps a -1 in the ability score) may literally be unable to make the save.

Does the spell list for Bards have spells for 6th level and above? Someone felt most of them would be unnecessary to list such spells if Bards can learn any Wizard, Cleric or Druid spell once they get magical secrets.

Thanks! Honestly, I thought it'd be more different. The fact that the Lady of Pain is the one who blocks multiversal wishes is...

Well, it makes sense with what we see in Die Vecna Die!, it's just not very subtle.

Did the jumping rules change? 2014 says "each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement", but the new DM screen doesn't include this language.
