This has literally never happened.

This is where you just say "Hey, this one's for the warlord" to the group. Or make the item warlord only. Its ok to tip the scales with loot.

Jeez, I just noticed Horrid Wilting deals a pathetic 10d8 as an 8th level spell. Can someone tell wizards to stop using damage values from 40 years ago? Ogres don't have 18 HP anymore.

It may be worth noting that monster AC's are so pathetic now that the shooter would hit many creatures on a 4 or better, assuming 18 dex and archery fighting style (+10). Decent idea but I would (jokingly) give it to Strength since WOTC decided it's the new dump stat. Charisma characters...

I'm going to be boring and say Ninja should be a background, with proficiency in Acrobatics, Stealth, the clan secret language/hand signals, and either Poisoners kit or Disguise kit. Maybe each clan could offer a different feat? Alert, Lucky and Skilled all fit, and Magic initiate goes a long...

Maybe they can use AI to write code that allows for basic houserule items, like a longsword that deals 2d8 damage or something that adds spellcasting modifier to damage, since the humans running DDB have been unable to do so. DDB draws in millions and sucks so much.

If you hit and dealt 4 damage to something with 40+ HP, would it really feel any better? I think its more an issue that your players apparently cant sit outside the spotlight for a few minutes.

You can print the cards yourself for next to nothing or buy high quality proxies for slightly more. Without collectibility, why would people buy the expensive packs? Moreover, why would they buy BOXES of packs?

Yes. When you're selling a collectible, once it becomes apparent the collectibility is gone, it reduces the incentive for future purchases. They're endangering a core aspect of the product that has sustained it for 30+ years for a temporary cash injection. MtG is a trading card game built on...

With the bar set so low for difficulty in 5E, I feel these suggestions may as well do away with the dice and just let people narrate how they win. Missing isn't a big deal. Your turn will come again.

Its not just part of the attack action though because it has a number of qualifiers. You have to attack with a light weapon to trigger it, and the trigger has to be used for a specific attack with a specific type of weapon. You cant use it to shove for example. This is a case of specific beats...

You have to attack with the main hand to get the off hand. If you order your pet, you don't get the Nick attack because you aren't triggering Nick by attacking with the weapon. The Nick attack can only be used for the Nick weapon. Holding a scimitar doesn't let you yell at the imp faster. It...

I would say no. The specificity of Nick overrides the general of Pact of the Chain. Nick HAS to be an attack with a light weapon. You also cant sub the nick attack out for a cantrip from Valor bard.

Yes it is actually. Cheap commons and uncommons was good for the game and for DM's. I have a 27 gallon tub of minis I bought because of how you could pick up orcs for pennies and ogres for 50 cents. This was all fueled by rares driving sales. It was good for the consumers and WOTC. When they...

Now I kind of want to play a godling who is a celestial warlock and their patron is their worshippers. Where you have to go around answering prayers for mundane stuff.
