With the 60' radius of Circle of Death, you might have to wait a while for a waiter if you cast it inside a tavern...

Agreed. The first DA game isn't good either ;)

Conversely, changing the things that the hardcore fans like about your product in the hope of increasing its appeal to casuals is often a recipe for failure.

'Realistic' in terms of buying individual miniatures rather than big batches. While you're only paying $1 per miniature, I kinda suspect you spend a lot more money in total on miniatures than the typical D&D gamer who just wants a single mini to represent his character. In terms of actual...

The pre-colored hero forge miniatures are less than great, but their grey resin figures are excellent. Not on the level of what the best sculptors can do, but they paint up nicely and they can be customized to look exactly like your character! Having a custom mini of the same quality sculpted...

looks like the characters are inside the anti-magic cone of the central eye, so the Beholder can't aim its eye rays at them.

I don't think the Necromancer is ever coming back. The whole theme of the class is to raise an undead horde, but one of the main changes from 5e to 5.5 has been to limit ways players have to gain a horde of minions.

Shield twice a day, that really makes you feel like you're playing a magic knight. Compared to the Battlemaster and other Fighter subclasses, it's like the EK doesn't have a subclass until lvl 7.

Disintegrate does say the disintegrated target can only be revived with Wish or True Resurrection, which strongly implies that they are now dead. IMO that sage ruling is just plain wrong. Effects like Disintegrate are precisely why Relentless Endurance has the caveat that it only works if...

A single classed Eldritch Knight doesn't really come online until lvl 7... Sad.

It does. Opportunity attacks are triggered when a creature you can see leaves your reach.

4e did have a character builder, first an offline program and later an online-only one. Both were excellent and regularly updated while they were being supported. What 4e did not have was an online tabletop. That was what the project that ended in tragedy was supposed to deliver. 4e did play...

Even at a 145% tariff, Chinese products are still the best value available in a lot of product categories. Often Chinese products are the only ones available at all.

So it's not actually a rule, at least not one that's part of the core books it ostensibly regulates. I wonder why they didn't print this in the PHB?

You're mixing up copyright and trademarks. If Tasha was selling her Hideous Laughter she could get a trademark for it, but she can't because she's a fictional character and Hideous Laughter isn't an actual product being traded.
