Outside of Organized Play I recommend the 'everyone has a second character' option if the group size makes it feasible. So full actions for animal companion, or hunter plus MM standard creature. For Adventurer's League I prefer to discourage pets and other bonus characters. My groups are too...

Just going off the Miniature Market numbering. I don't have any in hand.

The other invisible is the gold shadow dragon. No Demogorgon although I think I saw GaleForce 9 had one coming.

For our AL Encounters group we're running Harried in Hillsfar first to get characters a little fresh air before getting them captured. Part 2 has some hooks that can lead to the Underdark and imprisonment.

$1 per point point-buy. $120 for a character with all 20s. Although we're thinking about splitting the stats like 2e for double the stats or $240 potentially per character. An average character is only $60.

One of the ground-floor principles behind the design of 5th edition is that: a) one default set of rules will not be perfect for every table b) corollary: some rules will be issues with some tables, c) rules people don't like can be changed because the default rules will be basic, fast...

In my home game I use a variant Lingering Injuries rule where you roll a HD everytime you drop to 0 and reduce your Maximum HP by that amount (on a 1 roll on the chart). It's like the Life Drain mechanic but isn't auto-restored on a short rest. At AL it is whack-a-mole.

I suspect it was actually Jeremy Crawford. But they likely wouldn't be able to confirm or deny that was the case. There was a tweet by a friend of Jeremy's referring to his 'judicial duties' back in the spring but I suspect that has since disappeared. Jeremy is certainly much more active on...

"Another group of adventurers uses a Y-shaped battering ram to entrap a giant snake." Um, boy am I slow on the uptake. Is that a sexual reference? 35 years late to the party.

In my games, I let all the mounts scale (unless the player is building a posse or entourage. If the party has flying mounts then I would allow Find Steed to summon a flying mount. But I've never been a player in such a game. Usually DMs go out of their way to kill or hamper steeds which makes...

I believe that version (edition) of the game can come to pass. At the only table where it matters ... your own. I see pretty clear indications that players know the way they want the rules to work at their table. And from there it is a very small step to making them the default at their...

Yeah, like James Cameron's Avatar. That movie was a total flop.

Go by rounds with an increasing DC each round (Con DC 10 + 2/round). 2 strategies which are selected per round: 1) Slow but sure, skill challenge with 3 success before 3 failure. If you fail you're out. 2) All in, one check with Advantage. If you fail you barf (spectacularly out). If someone...

Based on the Thor movie, Agents of Shield (Sif), and the Avengers movies a normal Asgardian would have superhuman strength (19 or higher) and constitution and likely Damage Reduction but no other inherent powers other than virtual immortality. For superheroic levels of Strength, I would modify...

I think all the main characters should be humans. And then load on the fantastic in where they live and what they do. Elves, dwarves, etc. can be background but I don't think the added layer of abstraction will help the movie, but only reinforce comparisons to other movies. An all human cast...

I wonder how far east they will go?

I hope we don't get another dudes in goofy suits running through the woods. I want to see Avengers: Lords of Waterdeep. Captain Cormyr, Hawk the Ranger, Black Rogue, Iron Mage, the green-skinned barbarian, and the Cleric of Light(ning) facing classic D&D-specific foes (avoid LotRisms like...

Personally I prefer Illusions in combat serve are mostly action denial and be level appropriate. In a world of magic (including summoning and transmutation) and monsters I think the first response to a dangerous situation will be to prepare for real, but hope it is just an illusion. Wasted...

Kill him, keep the corpse fresh (with a spell), Raise Dead on the other end.

Thankfully, I do that, and then the player responds: And I laugh. I didn't realize "getting attacked at dawn" was such a white room, corner case. My ruling was stated a few pages back - prepare once between each long rest - the timing is flexible.
