    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    Your attack action triggers ONE off hand attack. It’s not dependent on how many bonus actions you have.

    Nope, only two. Nick only removes the bonus action cost from an off hand attack, it doesn’t let you make another one. You need to do something else with the bonus action it frees up.

    Legends of Avantris Announces Neon Odyssey, a 5E Space Opera Project

    This doesn’t look particularly appealing to me. I prefer my space opera at least a little grounded, and not set up as a parody from the start. The players will provide enough silliness without it being built into the rules. This was the problem with Starfinder and Esper Genesis as well. I’m more...

    It’s always good if possible. Or do teacher training, the skills are very transferable!

    This is quite fun, especially if the players hit them with Daylight as they fly over, and they turn back into cows.

    They probably moved on to something less risky, such as online poker.
