A Druid or Ranger speaking Sylvan is iconic imo and allowed parties to negotiate with Fey and other creatures to avoid combat. That one is slightly more of a loss to me. Languages are one of several things that distinguish characters from each other and that DM's can use to give the spotlight...

Under the just obnoxious/nitpicking category, I would put the changes that seem to be for no good reason (ymmv) other than making spells easier to program for Project Sigil. Limiting Command to a fixed list of commands, the changes to Animate Objects (beyond the sensible reduction in...

Wait, so if you cast Thaumaturgy on yourself for the booming voice effect, you can't cast spells with a verbal component for a minute? I'm not sure this clarifies underwater casting.

Chaosmancer posted this thief rogue ability, Supreme Sneak. If being in line of sight (without a high enough passive perception) was sufficient to reveal you, this ability wouldn't work.

No, to paraphrase another comment, there were two circumstances. One where a creator signed up for receiving an earlier PDF copy at the end of May, which apparently contained all the rules about not showing x% of y, and another where a creator signed up to get a promo copy of the physical book...

Sigil, rather than Sigil.

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.
