What is D&D if not slaying problematic things and taking their stuff?

<Posts clickbaity blog griping about how the movie has no respect for displacer beast rules and the producers can't be trusted> j/k, looks great. Only thing that surprised me was Neverwinter having lethal blood sports.

Since the stock 5e owlbear is a pretty sad take on the monster and not much different from a cave bear or polar bear, I'd just make it a beast. It doesn't have any traits that should disqualify it.

So much of gaming journalism these days is just drama mongering clickbait, often just "X slams Y for Z" with a bunch of reactions from twitter, even on some of the more reputable sites.

You son of a <bleep>, I'm in.

I knew the Record of the Lodoss War anime was based on a real D&D campaign in Japan but I'm surprised to see just how closely some of the character designs of the show match the style of these player class archetypes.

This is how I've been houseruling SA since 5e launch and it's been fine. Will continue that way if 5.5e restricts it to the attack action on your turn.

It was a brain fart. I meant to say that you have advantage on the roll if trained in both sleight of hand and thieves' tools, not double proficiency.

Thief's Fast Hands lets them Search as a bonus action... but trapfinding is a Study action and not a Search action... :confused: Also Fast Hands says that disabling traps and picking locks is a Dex (Sleight of Hand) check that is also made with thieves' tools. The tool proficiency glossary...

Added that to a houseruled Tavern Brawler.

8 encounters per day.

My players all very much liked having the bloodied tag since 4e and we kept on using it in 5e. I would like to see it return if done correctly.

Fine, but I want monsters to have more and better special attacks.

Personally I'd like most racial darkvision to go away. You feel kinda stupid as a human rogue trying to scout ahead of the party these days.

I'm sure it'll be nice but that price is just absurd.

Disclosure: My players and I agreed (mostly) to ban Counterspell years ago. It's not fun for either side. As a fan of 4e monsters, I like the idea of self-contained spell blocks in monster stat blocks, but I dislike the idea that (for NPC type spellcasters at least) they are following some...

I tell you, it all started going downhill when you didn't need bat guano to cast fireball anymore. (j/k)

Enabling or disabling the optional class features introduced in Tasha's are just a per-character toggle. I imagine the revised player races will be just as easy. For monsters, probably duplicate entries, one from each source.

This nerf to counterspell is even more terribly thought-out than counterspell itself.

Some of the older depictions I've read were basically a spider with a female drow elf face. This is a bit more intimidating, though I guess I always preferred the lore that drider forms were cursed "gifts" for those who displeased lolth, that horrified the drow themselves.
