    D&D 5E DMG excerpt: random magic item tables

    It is hard to tell from this snippet, but I think the table letters correspond to rarity. These are mostly consumable items with some wondrous items thrown in. A/B are probably more of the same. Level 0-3 scrolls, +1 ammunition, common potions, bag of holding and so on. I bet there are other...

    D&D 5E New D&D Basic Rules DM v0.2 and Cantrip Scrolls

No amount of metagaming (run around for a minute after each...

    D&D 5E Balance, multiclassing, and extra attacks in 5E

    The language of Extra Attack in 5B (you can attack twice instad of once) clearly excludes stacking and only expands to 3 and 4 attacks at Fighter 11 and Fighter 20. There is no need for a special case in the multiclassing rules since each time you get it you can still only attack twice instead...
