So my first couple thoughts... 1) Shouldn't they have disadvantage vs acid as well? Not a major thing but by the MM they are weak vs acid and fire. 2) Regeneration, given that the MM gives them 10hp per round, maybe allow them something much closer? 1hp per round, scaling up as they level...

I agree you made the right choice. They aren't magical past being a fantasy creature, in much the same way I wouldn't have a goblin, orc or even a troll radiate magic. They are fantastical creatures but not actual magic.

I allow them in my game and we have them in the game I'm playing in currently. Our previous game however did not have them. That said I do not think they are necessary but I do prefer them and I know my players do after moving into a game where we have them. I guess my problem with this...

When I think of the bard, I think more of a warrior that is going into battle fighting and then making a song or poem about it after the fight. Compiling a list of the deeds that he and his party have achieved to one day write their own epic.

I'm planning to run a small series of games(not sure if starting level 1 or 5 yet) with some variations on some things. So the primary goal is to promote working together more on players parts as well as create a more cinematic game for my group. Optional rules I'll be using initially...

True but context matters, which your linked article shows as well. In this case I would argue that the context of the rules and reading them means you can due either one or the other. The exclusion of either was considered acceptable without changing the meaning of the conversation because...

Or means you can do one but not the other. A is singular. That's not ambiguous, you may not rule it that way at your table but you are making a house rule one way or the other. Also where the feat says "when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one" reinforces that you explicitly...

Drawing two weapons like your example of two short swords also explicitly takes the Dual Wielder feat. Your 'interpretation' makes one of the uses of that feat completely useless. It states "You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one."...

I'll admit I missed that. I would honestly still ignore it if you had a quiver setup for a javelin or a setup for throwing knives/darts as still being part of the attack. It take far less time to draw a knife and throw it than draw an arrow, knock it and aim and fire. I would require it to...

Maybe I missed something somewhere along the line but where does it say that a weapon having ammunition and not the loading property is specifically what allows you to shoot multiple items as opposed to drawing say a throwing knife from a quick draw style setup or a javelin from a quiver and...

I'm not sure have you had a Nokia phone? Those things are solid.... Seriously though I'm not quite sure I understand most of what the OP is talking about and all the questions I'd have about it have pretty much been asked. And yet while the OP has responded to people multiple times he has...

Sorry if this was already posted(I didn't read all 5 pages) but I would like to see a feet for Unarmored Defence and a mastery feat to go with it. I want to play an Unarmored fighter and there just isn't a feasible way to do it currently. Also I want my Falchion back...

Ok so to actually help out the OP... Add more healing potions or a cleric at the keep and make sure your party know that the first part is going to take multiple sessions(2-3 we've found on average) and it will be all one night. So there won't be time for a long rest. First time we played...

Ok I'm just going to go out there and post a little quote I found... "Everything a player needs to create heroic characters for the world's greatest roleplaying game" So I'm going to emphasize where it says HEROIC characters there. Also for the record this was taken from the cover of the PHB...

My group everyone has the PHB except for me and my wife sharing one, otherwise we have to DM's guide and one MM. I also have Hoard and Rise.

I don't present an alternative way because I wouldn't even know where to begin for it. The game isn't about doing math if, it was a straight number crunch we could sit down with a book on algebra and have a nice night of long division problems(I swear it's sarcasm). I'm not sure you could...

I don't dispute that in any capacity. I"m just saying that I think without an actual way to calculate the other factors that are applicable just saying style(x) do more damage that style(y) is a poor representation of actual gameplay. It's not a straight number crunch in reality, it's dynamic...

Something people seem to forget when bringing up how powerful GWM is against a sword and shield combo is that yes you are doing more damage. Congratulations, you have a bigger weapon with more mass. It should do more damage. That said the sword and shield person will always, always, take less...

I make flash cards for them with all stuff like that one them. I also have one for PC's with Passive Perception, AC, and anything else I think might be helpful(I'm not going to get them to see what else, besides it's what you think could be helpful). Then when players roll initiative I simply...

In the new group I'm with you roll but if you end up with a worse stat line than the point buy system could get you, you can opt to use the point buy. We had to do this after a player got a high roll of 10 on their six rolls. That was on 4d6 drop the lowest mind you. I personally like the...
