No, it's not. It is fun sometimes to attack the powerful. I myself love 5e, but sometimes it still bothers me. I'd say that my main catches against it are mostly centered in 2 classes, druids and clerics, and some spells. Druids are just cheesy to me. Polymorph at 2nd level without any real...

I see no contradiction on Lance rules with Dueling whatsoever, and it is RAW and RAI as it fits the concept of the knight swell; I'm not saying that absurdiness of the halfling on a dog with 2 lances (that I neither see that absurd per se, or at least when you have a lot of absurdiness and...

Hey! Arkadia stole my idea of Bronze Age Campaign! If I see my equipment tables, I'll be very pissed off.

I've wrote (again) a long answer that got ditched because of the crappy connection. Short: I didn't noticed the 5 feet disadvantage, but that doesn't really affect the account, because the original 34 didn't take it. In a featureless, empty white room without positioning or companionship, my...

There is no book that I remember that changed that rule whatsoever. We play with every official book, and that hasn't come up a single time. We don't tend to use a lot of Sage Advice. He is an Elemental monk. But yes, he is amazing. We tend to be on par, although I have a lot more resistance...

I wrote an answer at morning, but got erased. I'm going to sum it up. First: Lance is a d12, one-handed weapon that needs a horse. I have a horse. Average damage 6.5. Second: I have an 18 in Strength, so +4, and Dueling, so +2 (+6 to each attack). With multiattack, my base attacks are 25 damage...

Ok. Let's go on the opposite direction. My biggest issue against multiclass is that it is very difficult to get it right. Most people that multiclass are looking for specific "builds", and so came the "dip" concept: maximize damage and DPR are usually the main subjects on multiclass. The concept...

[Facepalm]. The Aztecs are actually in North America, not South America. They are mexicans, not peruvians. Mexico is in North America. The Incas were in the south, as well as many other "bronze age" cultures, as the Nazca and the Mapuches. You are confusing South America with Latin America. Is...

Dude, are you concious that you are the one that called a flamewar when called player's agency, the basis of an RPG a "degenerate storytelling game". I only reacted to this and pointed out. I was discussing RPGs, I've never ceased doing that. You did. Read again: the very basis of an RPG, the...

And this is where the discussion degenerates from a real discussion to a bait and flamewar. Degenerate storytelling game, yeah. Of course. Except that it is a storytelling game. Both, storytelling AND game. And thus, you have agency to choose your actions, and you have MECHANICS to decide how to...

Have you played football (I'm talking about real football, not the American rugby :p)? Grass is important because it allows the ball to slide easily. If you say something such as "it is plenty of rocks", I would buy it. But, as I've said prior, if you want to be an ass, I say "Then I stomp on...

That's why I explicitly called Disarm maneuvers, Saelorn, and Interact with an Object. And Material and Verbal components. And the fact that the spellcasters have plenty of options to avoid being in melee in the first place. You are triviallizing many rules because you can't conceive that the...

You are right about the pouches. It is one of the reasons why I usually pick them instead of an Arcane Focus. And Disarm is a maneuver of the Battlemaster. Feel free to see the rules. And, read again, I've said fake rules lawyering. Because it is actually not: you are ignoring rules, and at the...

It is in the Xanathar's Guide to Everything, the "first official expansion" of the game. You don't need to be a gish. And offer a Save is how the spells usually work. See that there are 22 spells without Verbal components for wizard only. I wouldn't call it exactly "powerless" or without...

If you consider spending further actions trivial, it is trivially easy too for the wizard to have help itself, even by a low level minion like a familiar, for example. And it isn't even outside the theme of a wizard. So now the grappler hasn't Advantage nor disadvantage (as they don't stack)...

They specifically said that they can't take account of every possible action in combat, and give guidelines to improvise. See above. And the wizard can still stab you. Or cast a cantrip without material components, like Thunderclap. Or cast a spell like steel wind strike, to make 5 attacks...

I understand your line of thought. But I digress in your conclussion: gagging someone is specifically quoted as a way to impede verbal components, and verbal components are rules. And any attempt of gagging someone would quickly lead to a combat, in some way or another. And it is mostly relevant...

Yes. Exactly. Thank you, sincerely. This is one way to resolve things, not the only one. Just the only one I've somewhat systematized, because it worked for me, and it makes sense. And as I've said earlier, if someone comes with a better way to do it, I'll be happy to recognize it.
