That's a valid point. I was just trying to think of a narrative reason for why the sneak attack dice could be used to fuel a poison effect when the weapon was not poisoned in advance and it is not a magical effect. Perhaps they should just redefine it as Break Morale or something similar...

Could the poisoning be something more akin to causing their body to poison itself? "Your precise sneak attack does damage to the target's internal organs causing them to release toxins into the bloodstream." Alternately, "The damage caused by your sneak attack causes the target to double over...

Hi all, My son is playing a 2nd level Dwarven Ranger in D&D 5e. At third level he wants to have an archetype that plays to the dwarves strengths of delving into the depths underground. I could have sworn that I've seen something like that in previous editions as a subclass, but I no longer own...

Try 1989

Hello, I have been away for a long time. I own the majority of the 5e sourcebooks in hardcover, but find that traveling with them to play my family campaign is...cumbersome. Especially when, like this weekend, the car is packed full. I know that D&D Beyond would prefer that I purchase their...

The bottom left corner of the first image looks like the “Spelljammer” logo. Makes sense since it’s been rumored.

Bummer. Well, so much for that idea. I guess my only recourse would then be to cast a wish spell or a miracle to turn me into an elf or half elf in order to qualify for the prestige class unless anyone has any better ideas.

Polymorph other is a permanent duration spell while polymorphself only lasts a few rounds per level. My mage wants to persue the Arcane Archer Prestige class, but he is a human. If he is transformed by the Polymorph other spell into an elf, would he then qualify to gain the Arcane Archer...

I have a mage character with the psionic template. The character gained the template when he was 3rd level, but is now 6th level. The writeup of the Psi template in the PsiHB indicates that when a psionic monster has higher Hit Dice he gets more abilities as well as a higher ECL. Does the same...

The most recent Mind's eye update to psionic characters allows the Sangehirn PrC to gain enhancements to Stabilize Self checks and Fast Healing 1,2,3. My question is isn't the skill stabilize self useless if you have fast healing? If you regenerat 1 HP or more per round, then wouldn't that stop...

Does anyone know of a good online bookseller from Australia or NZ that would carry the full Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Douglass? I just finished reading Enchanter in the states, but do not want to wait for 3 years for the next 3 books to be released and Starman is only in hard cover...

Just a quick question. Where did the designers put Living Wall? I have looked in the core books with no success. Thanks, TOME

I thought that I read that one can take feats for which he does not meet the prerequisites. Doing this at level 3 for the Mon1/Clr2 would indicate your desire to learn the knowledge, but your inability to use it until you have gained an additional level of Clr. Furthermore, The penalty of not...

In my game a natural 20 on a critical confirmation followed by an additional D20 hit roll is an instant death blow. Anyone who can roll two natural 20s and a normal hit in a row deserve to kill the thing they are fighting. I have to admit that the 20=30 and 1=-10 does sound like a good rule...

Craft Wonderous Item I have seen a great deal of magical holy symbols in my games. Currently my group just found an anhk that has some minor dweomer placed upon it and a name etched into the back in Draconic. Our party cleric believes it to be a key of some sort. I've also seen symbols that...
