I get that it may make the experience more frustrating for you and those at your table, and thus why you may not find such things desirable. It's hardly an unprecedented concept though. 40k, before the latest edition, didn't allow pre-measuring. It introduces an element of player skill in...

Agreed on the Draconomicon. I've not really used Fizban's at all, but I'm still excited for Giants to get their Due as it were. In my homebrew campaign world the defining conflict which has marked the ages thus far as been the wars between Giants and Dragons. Both of which are Heavily...

That last sentence is often exactly the problem - in many campaigns, non-magical attempts have significant penalties for failure or absurd requirements strapped onto them. Picking a lock and failing to unlock it permanently makes future attempts harder. Doors which are barred can't be...

To the points above, just want to throw out two questions: 1) When is the last time, in real life, you've misjudged a distance, and maybe tossed something to someone which landed at their feet, or found the piece of aluminum foil you cut off is Way too short to be useful, or ran out of gas, or...

Respectfully, if it's inconsequential, why are they rolling? I voted no, the tables I've been at, I've pretty much never seen someone ask for advantage. They assume they don't have it unless the DM indicates otherwise or they have an explicit effect granting it, and the only questions...

Path of Ancestral Guardian: 13 -2 = 11 Path of Totem Warrior: 12 +1 = 13 Ancestral Guardian does next to nothing in a 1v1 or if you're the last one standing, or if they are in fact targeting you for any other reason. Totem Warrior isn't my favorite but I do prefer it over Ancestral Guardian.

At least 'things a guy at the gym can do' would be a step up from things as they currently stand. Realistically how often have you seen in D&D a battle between two fighters / barbarians / whatever, which starts in the first few rounds with the combatants trying to do Something to gain an...

Interesting concept but in my opinion your DCs are off. Elves - DC 20? That's way over passive perception range for most folks, which means unless someone is Specifically looking for it, they're not seeing it. And if they are? They saw a flower arrangement, and actively assessed it for...

IMHO a big part of the problem is that while full casters can literally rewrite the laws of physics and reshape reality, achieving things far beyond that which folks 'in the real world' can do, Fighters and other Martial classes can't even do normal things because the rules weirdly restrict and...

Poisons. The problems with them are myriad and stack on themselves. 1) The cost structure. They're just WAY too expensive, for how difficult they are to acquire. There is zero reason why a mid-high level character can't eventually just get a big old pit of giant serpents, toss in a few pigs...

Tough to answer this in a vacuum, "A" D&D 5e campaign doesn't give too much to go off on. Do you know what other characters are being brought to bear? Have you given any thought to what levels you would take at what time, and what your progression from 1-20 would look like? It's easy to...

Greetings! I'm starting a Druid at level 13 in an existing D&D 5e campaign. The existing characters comprise of 3 Multiclass Wizards, a Tortle Cleric, and a couple of Rogues (it's a big group). I haven't played as a Druid in 5e and figured it would be a good complement to the group's arcane...
