    D&D 5E Bringing Back Thievery

    I love that we are using magical spell components as an analogy to better understand the idea of a "tool."

    BadWrongFun: how far is too far??

    Serious threads often descend into comic lunacy. This one goes the wrong way.

    D&D 5E PH(B) Tavern Brawler Feat

    As written this doesn't let barmaid Tika use her frying pan effectively in battle.

    D&D 5E PH(B) Hermit Background

    It is kind of weird, and certainly not for everyone. For what it's worth, the nature of your secret is a known part of your character, but the specifics are not. So while you may know your character is hiding from his wealthy or noble parentage, you don't know who they are until your character...

    D&D 5E PH(B) Hermit Background

    If anyone cares, I have a Secret mechanism in my eternally-being-written-game, which is a little different from the hermit's. Each character has a secret, which is known by the character but not by player. The player picks a question, such as What crime did I commit or Who are my parents. It...

    D&D 5E PH(B) Soldier Background (Art is new)

    I get a Samus Aran vibe from this art, which I like.

    D&D 5E PH(B) Soldier Background (Art is new)

    Is it reasonable that when she takes her helmet off she puts her hair up to get it out of her way?

    D&D 5E What Classes in PHB?

    I like "physical" so much more than "martial."

    D&D 5E Rules Discussion: Somatic Components and Restrained

    I like this. I would definitely say no to casting in manacles. You need more than finger motion.

    D&D 5E Rules Discussion: Somatic Components and Restrained

    I don't know how relevant this is, but you can attack but not cast spells in armor you are not proficient in.

    D&D 5E Rules Discussion: Somatic Components and Restrained

    This is an important question. We have a whole class of spells (restraining) and we don't know how they affect a whole class of actions (spells). I for one would like a official ruling, such as through an FAQ. Of course as others mentioned there will always be corner cases, and that's why we...

    D&D 5E Can Someone Explain Bonus Actions?

    Maybe not a trap choice, but at least an anti synergistic archetype. Two character features get in each other's way.

    D&D 5E Can Someone Explain Bonus Actions?

    Yes, and isn't the classic 3e dual wielding rogue one of these?

    D&D 5E Can Someone Explain Bonus Actions?

    Maybe we should stop interrupting this thread.

    D&D 5E Can Someone Explain Bonus Actions?

    I also saw no difference between minor & bonus, particularly when comparing to the small number of minor actions available early in 4e, before the bloat. Liker's point is an important nuance I had not considered. The trading down does seem to carry some mental overhead, which this restriction...

    D&D 5E Can Someone Explain Bonus Actions?

    A minor chuckle was my swift reaction to your post.

    D&D 5E Three cheers for Mearls and Co.!

    I have been continually amazed at how almost every major design decision they made was just what I wanted. Was I the only one who filled out the survey?

    D&D 5E Will you always max out your primary stat?

    In 5B yes. In 5A probably not. Feats are fun.

    D&D 5E Necromancer Games - 3 5E books announced!

    Mearls retweeted this from GoingLast: What are your thoughts on 5e and OGL? Should it, shouldn’t it? Why? (J) I have to think he would only do that if it was already decided they would. (But just because I have to think it doesn't mean its right. I think a lot of wrong things.)
