Durable: The short answer is, "as durable as it needs to be" to fit your intended level of drama/threat. Knock off: I'd say fairly hard to knock off--I figure since the carpet is designed for travel, the magic of the carpet would help keep users aboard. No check to stay on the carpet during...

As great as Hex is in combat, I think it's even more effective out of combat. And with a range of 90 feet, you've got a shot at casting it without the target noticing. Note that the target must be "a creature you can see" within range. So, send your familiar around the corner to eyeball the...

If it bothers you, just have the Mummy's DR apply to any nonmagical Piercing damage, regardless if that comes from biting insects summoned with a spell, biting insects encountered in the wild, or some hapless tomb robber's bronze dagger. That is an interesting rules tangent though: do the...

The disintegrate spell says "If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, it is disintegrated." The Wild Shaped druid is hit with disintegrate. Takes damage that reduces his animal form to 0 hit points, and is disintegrated. A disintegrated creature is dead. "Die" is one of the things...

Sneak Attack only works with finesse or ranged weapons. So alas, does not work with Quarterstaff (or any of the other weapons that work with Polearm Master).

Good point. I'll edit the post.

Oh, certainly total sales are greater than 50,000. The site I cited was specifically for Amazon's sales. Sorry; I thought I mentioned that. I'd be surprised if total sales were 500,000, but I don't have any data to go on. I'd be curious if anyone has a reputable source for global sales to date...

Ethan, the Gold Box games are the PC games that adhered closest to the D&D ruleset. Pool of Radiance, and such. This replicated the TT experience: your party explores until they encounter monsters, at which point the game switches to turn-based combat. Character builds, equipment, and spells...

This is the crux of it. The marketing for SCL repeatedly referenced "actual D&D ruleset." SCL doesn't include that feature. Which is disappointing. Not objectively, but because of a mismatch of expectations and reality. If the game had been called "The Forgotten Realms: Storm Coast Legends"...

Morrus has the right of it. There are way, way, way more videogame players than TT D&D players. Way, way more RPG videogame players than TT D&D players. Orders of magnitude greater audience. One data point: according to this aggregator, the 5E PHB has sold 50,000 copies on Amazon. Since launch...

Indie is a Thief Rogue. So is Nathan Drake, for that matter. Expertise perfectly emulates Indy's professorial knowledge of History, as well as his extraordinary Athleticism. Sneak Attack emulates his boxing sucker-punch ability. (hand-wave that Unarmed Strike is a Finesse weapon). And this...

The OP should take a good long look at the Barbarian. :)

As an alternative, I suggest: Eldritch Knight. This is all predicated on your statements that you want to be stealthy, and want to use polearms. Here's why: 1. If you want to be stealthy, you probably shouldn't be carrying around a polearm. Sure there's no mechanical rules impact but c'mon...

Criminal 17 Gladiator 18 Guild Merchant 20 Knight 16 Noble 15 Outlander 12 Pirate 18 Sailor 7 Soldier 19 Spy 16 Urchin 6 Because player-controlled NPCs are fun for players and DMs alike. And the Soldier background should give a weapon proficiency.

Pausing ≠ turn-based. Turn-based, by definition, means that everyone is taking turns. Not moving at once. It's "I go, then you go, then he goes, then that goes." When the person's whose turn it is is moving, no one else is moving. It's not "we all go at once, but you can stop everyone at any...
