    D&D 5E messy's 5e newbie questions thread

    just stumbled on something that opens up a can of worms in the description for the herbalism kit: doesn't this imply that other magic items, or at least potions, can be crafted? if so, don't we need prices for those items? if a character with an herbalism kit can create a potion of healing...

    37. the spell lists seem a little strange. i just noticed that wizards don't have access to the enhance ability spell! gasp! i always thought wizards had access to all arcane spells. on the other hand, the arcane/divine designation doesn't really seem to exist anymore. regardless, this strikes...

    35. the two-weapon fighting rules say that both weapons must be light. does this mean you can't dual-wield a double weapon (like a quarterstaff)? 36. by adding adding dexterity modifiers to damage, haven't they increased the value of dexterity even more?

    D&D 5E messy's 5e newbie questions thread

    23. multiclassing seems to follow the 3e model, but when leveling up in a new class you only gain proficiency in some of the new class' armor, weapons, skills. does this make multiclassing even weaker than it was? 24. is the battle master fighter the 5e equivalent of the 4e warlord? 25. a...

    19. in prior editions, a clone was two levels lower than the caster. this doesn't seem to be the case in 5e! am i reading this right? this seems like a major upgrade. 20. similarly, the 5e version of simulacrum has half the caster's hit points, whereas in prior editions it was half the caster's...
