I will say that on a one on one combat, a lvl 20 Diviner with a simulacrum will win almost every time. Battle royale style is much harder to predict.

Subtle Hex to give someone disadvantage on Wisdom or Charisma checks to help you deceive them (or sneak past them) or talk them into something.

Divination. They saw the fight coming and prepared accordingly. That and having a simulacrum, for a combined total of 6 portents...

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. - Still missing spells from SCAG (version 2.5 didn't have them either.) i.e. Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade.

Please don't presume to speak for me or for "most tables". Your personal prejudices are not those of the community as a whole.

New alternate trait: Harem in Waiting (Or "This is why we can't have nice things.")

Divorce won't work. But I could see an evil aligned person or party being "serial widowers" as they move from town to town and marrying impressionable young people who never make it to the next town... Or really dedicated power gamers who don't mind spending 300 gp each week for a Revivify...

Note: you can only replace one of your attacks with an attack from your familiar, no matter how many extra attacks you have - it takes your familiar's reaction to make the attack, and they only have one reaction per round.

Having the player end their turn mid-jump makes the game more complicated and technically is not how the rules work. That being said, I'm in the hang-time camp. I'm not scared of making the game a little more complex if I feel it makes more sense than arbitrarily limiting their jump distance.

No issue here. The player simply chose not to use an ability of their race until they felt it made sense for their characters personal story. From a purely mechanical perspective, they didn't trade it away for a different ability, they just didn't use it.

If it is a character wearing heavy armor and with an odd str number - Heavy Armor Master every time. If they are in medium armor, or don't need the Str point...then Toughness. I will say that I have a Ftr 1/Hexblade X that took the Heavy Armor Master feat - they had a 14 str, the feat put...

After the TPK, everyone gets to make a new character that is a close relative of the dead character, and they join together to find out what happened to their missing relatives. "I am Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!" "I am Feldspar Ironbeard, you killed my brother...

Most editions of D&D have had very little support for high level play. Most campaigns peter out around mid level, high level encounters tend to be really complicated and time consuming to design, and high level PC's can have a widely divergent level of power and durability depending on the...

5e has three main types of D20 rolls: Attack Rolls, Ability Checks, and Saving Throws. Initiative is a Dexterity Ability check, all skill checks are Ability checks, all tools are ability checks. Even though Saving Throws and Attack Rolls usually use an ability modifier for part of their...

I think the real problem is not so much Jeremy Crawford's answer, but rather the use of the word "willing" in the cantrip itself. How is a "sheathe of booming energy" supposed to know if you are charmed or otherwise compelled? Is it actually an elemental spirit with an absurdly high Insight...

My opinion: this should cause it to trigger (because they are moving under their own power, rather than being pushed/pulled). Sage Advice/Jeremy Crawford says it won't, for what it's worth...

I agree.

For mooks and minions, I don't really care how quickly the PC's kill them - that's part of the fun. But for Set Piece encounters or "Boss" encounters, I'll usually either double or triple the hit points of the main monster, or just add a flat 100. That generally equates to an extra round or...

Thank you. I can't claim all the credit, it's basically an amalgam of many things I've been influenced by over the years. I just tried to create a coherent framework for them. A few of the influences I can remember: The Primal Order Roger Zelazny's the Chronicles of Amber The Great...
