    Jon Peterson posts Mordenkainen in 1974

    This is 1974, not AD&D. From what I understand many ability scores (not including charisma and I think strength) had zero benefit at all from having high scores. There were just no rules written for that yet. A 18 intelligence would give you bragging rights but would have no effect on the game...

    Idea for D&DBeyond

    I wouldn't mind if wotc paid Curse to give every purchaser of a d&d book the appropriate d&d Beyond content. Curse would be under contract and wouldn't have to pay the licensing but would get a small share of each book sold as their revenue source rather than subscription and content purchase...

    D&D 5E How long til you modified 5e?

    Not even sure if this counts but polearm mastery with a quarter staff and a shield got the axe pretty quickly. That's so silly I can't believe it hasn't been errata-cated A little later, and honestly this seems like a no-brainer that any DM would do, someone pointed out that shooting a target...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's guide to everything, anyone else have this error? Is it an error?

    Just when we managed to expunge Toujours L'audace, those insidious francophiles at Wizards hit us with this. Hmmm maybe they are necrofrancophiles.

    D&D 5E The Fighter Extra Feat Fallacy

    I personally don't like taking something that is giving me a minus 5 to hit when I'm only a so so shot to begin with. Perhaps if I had some sort of resource that could turn a miss into a hit...

    Crossbow Expert redux

    I like it a lot. Goodbye crossbow machinegun. This is also not a bad choice for eldritch knights and valour bards.

    Find Traps 11 True Strike 11 As a DM, I would allow the use of Find Traps to identify True Strike as a poor choice.

    D&D 5E Survivor Worst Spells: FIND TRAPS IS THE WORST!

    ​Down to your last arrow? Maybe you want that arrow of slaying to count? Maybe you are sneaking up on a bad guy and you have no way of hiding once the fight starts. Meh, it's still the worst spell in the game. Find Traps is bad but it's a cleric spell so it's just a matter of picking a different...

    D&D 5E Does any one else think staff is overpowered and houserule it?

    The only issue I see is using the staff with a shield and polearm master. That feels particularly silly to me and I see it fairly often. I would also prefer a d4/ d6 versatile damage dice, but I can live with the higher die.

    You keep the sapphire and your crystal ball in the same hidden location as your clone. Sorry, thought that was obvious.
