Hah, well I sure hope anyone suggesting this to me IS a construct or undead, because I WILL SHANK THEM. No but seriously, the 3.5 conception of sneak attack as something that targets "vital organs" is the biggest crunch/fluff fail in the history of d&d. (I'll admit I may be a tad overdramatic...

Exactly. "Range" (p.214) is a property some weapons have. Specifically, two kinds of weapons have the "range" property: Ranged weapons (which is a binary classification: weapons are either ranged or melee, p.213), and "thrown" weapons (which is a property some but not all melee weapons have...

I sure hope Flanking will come back in the DMG (I always use that rule, it's great!), but there's nothing in the PHB, so I didn't include it here. Have we heard anything about Flanking and assorted optional rules in the 2024 DMG? Yes, and to make them Restrained you need to bind their legs. A...

I think I finished this, or at least I found as many as I could find. I'm sure I still missed some. It's a big book! I may mess with the details at a later time, adding even more fine print, but the basics are there. So this is a list of how to attack with advantage. Accidentally, it's also a...

Crusher and Shining Smite added, thanks!

...I realise this is a lot, and that I'm also accidentally compiling ways to make things Prone.

I'm listing first general rules that apply, and then specific methods arranged by party level (it's a group game!). Note that the number next to classes is class lvl where the relevant ability is gained, the number next to feats is class level required to take it, and the number next to spells...

Two points. 1) Story is great, I also optimise around a character concept. And if I want to play a Rogue who's more book-smart than dexterous, I will (and I have!). But having the ability to pick any stat I want doesn't prevent me from making RP choices my priority. I can still do that! So why...

Personally, I will be using custom backgrounds with pride and delight. Because here's how my ideal Background mechanic works conceptually: Every story has a beginning. Your character's background represents where you came from, and what your life was like before you became an adventurer. Like...

Oh great, the article is different than the book. Love their attention to detail! D&D Beyond: "[Light] still functions the same way: When you make an attack with a weapon that has the Light property, you can use a Bonus Action to make one attack with a different Light weapon you’re wielding...

Eldritch Knight only lets you cast one of your "Wizard" cantrips, Eldritch Blast does not apply. So with Haste and Action Surge, a Valour Bard/Sorcerer/Warlock could cast it 4 times in one turn, for a total of 16 beams. Once per day. They don't make it super clear if the number of cantrips in...
