It was in response to Cosmic Kid's post. I did not just drop it out of the blue. Maybe reread his post.

Not trying to flatter myself, but thanks for starting on a note of hostility. I am NOT saying I don't like the people. For hell's sake, my WIFE likes beans, as do my kids. Are you actually saying I therefore do not like my wife and children because (and this is actually true, BTW) I don't like...

Bean eating was not equating with sex. It was more with PDAs. For example, smooching. If two men want to smooch on a park bench, that's their right. I would never ask them to stop nor want anyone else to ask them to stop. But I would avert my eyes.; it's not pleasant for me to look at. On the...

Which means, de facto, the enemies killing your martial as fast as possible is the best tactic for them, and defending thwarts this. Not to mention doing more damage can mean different things. For example, against a horde of 1 hp rats (to use an edge example), I would rather have 6 attacks that...

And Toll the Dead. But I was going to post this same response when I saw the poster said "best" not "most damaging". Poison spray is not the best cantrip despite its slightly higher damage for multiple reasons.

I don't like beans. I cannot control the fact that I don't like them. I was not traumatized by a bad bean experience as a child. And I imagine if I were starving and had nothing to eat but beans I would eat them. I just find them unappealing to eat. I don't think people who enjoy eating refried...

And, at least with bounded accuracy, it is somewhat mitigated in 5e. I ran a 3e party where the druid did nothing but specialize in Spot and Listen, to the extent that he would routinely walk around (with spells up helping him with a +50 to both skills. It was impossible to stealth the party...

I run a homebrew world and no, I will not be adopting this gender shifting paradigm for elves, simply because my world does not have a Correllan Larethian as an elf god and my elf deity is not overly concerned about chaos and freedom and all that. However, my elf goddess is connected to...

Regarding knife throwing, I seem to recall the 2e Player's Option book having an option that made dart throwing fighters the most powerful fighters in the game. I assume that could be translated into a knife thrower.

Never heard the term "cherry tapping" before. So I looked it up. Interesting, though I was hoping for something a little more risque given the words "cherry" and "tapping".

Well, since my players play fighters without the feat, and my son plays a barbarian without the feat, and not a single martial type in the last 4 day Convention AL fest I attended had the feat, I'd say a LOT of martial characters "don't want to do damage", which is actually foolish for you to...

You seem to be under the impression that once a foe breaks line of sight and has total cover that the enemy just stands there and scratches his head. If you jump into a trench and have total cover, I fly towards you or fly higher up until I can see you (remember, I only need to see a TINY speck...

The problem is that no amount of cover beyond total cover works against Sharpshooter. Yeah, you can take cover under trees. Won't matter. You can jump into a trench. Won't matter. Remember, someone who is flying has the wherewithal to come at the target from a 180 degree angle.

You are somehow interpreting the words "if any" to mean that if that qualifier is not met, the action still happens. What if I said "I will point a gun at and shoot at a sweater you are wearing (if you are wearing a sweater)". Does that mean if you do not wear a sweater, I will still point a...

Yep. When I ran HotDQ a PC had the fighting style to grant a +2 to hit with ranged weapons and received a +2 longbow. HIs Dex was 20 (16 Dex +2 for elf +2 for ASI at 4th level). That was all she wrote. Using Sharpshooter, the dragons what were supposed to be scaring the crap out of the party...

My problem stems solely from Sharpshooter. I don't have a problem with GWM because the practitioner has to get up close and personal and subject himself to damage. Additionally, there are fewer ways to mitigate the penalties that should be associated with the feat. Sharpshooter has the benefit...

Not sure why that would exempt them from testing content interaction between non PHB books. If spell + feat combo is unbalanced, then unless the spell and the feat are both limited to "self", then you still get the interaction of the two of them within a party. Hence, the need to test.

Let's not forget there are ways for wizards in AL play to get extra spells from other sourcebooks. Fai Chen market is one such way.

Almost no predator (i.e. the gnolls) will deign to eat while being threatened. It just doesn't happen with sentient creatures. Even demons in my world prefer to capture and torture or play with or ritually consume their souls. Very few creatures, intelligent or otherwise, will waste a round...

You really consider ALL of the DMG injuries to be severe? Even the one where you get a scar and have advantage on Intimidation checks and disadvantage on Persuasion? Is that severe? Or the limp result? Or the broken rib result? Sorry to contradict you, but most of the results on that chart...
