    D&D 5E Ok I have to ask..... what's with the Paladin hate on here?

    His chief weakness is kryptonite. Kryptonite and red suns...red suns and kryptonite His two weaknesses are kryptonite, red suns and magic... His three weaknesses are kryptonite, red suns, magic and Lois Lane... Amongst his weaknesses... I'll come back in.

    D&D 5E GMs of EN World: What player behavior annoys you the most?

    Yeah, making me over explain my rulings during a session is definitely one of the more annoying traits in a player. Tangentially related is when a player comes up with an extremely outlandish plan and is annoyed when it is either shot down or explained that it will be more difficult than they...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Poll

    I'm weird. I liked the names :erm: As has been pointed out, it is a tad slim for its price and there are things I rather wanted to see make it in like the weapon specific feats. Overall, however, I feel I got what I needed and expected.

    D&D 5E Ok I have to ask..... what's with the Paladin hate on here?

    That'd be Arthas, the paladin/prince who would eventually become the Lich King.

    D&D 5E Are solo monsters weaker in 5e?

    A Lairs and Legendary templates UA would be a welcome addition some time I feel. Monster seem a bit underwhelming? Slap a legendary template of some wort onto it and have fun. I think some time ago someone tried to come up with a coherent system for adding legendary/veteran templates to monsters...

    D&D 5E Building a better Monk

    I'm Chinese and I'd say the monk is close enough to xiaolin and wuxia. Just like the paladins are close enough to Arthurian knights and druids are close enough to to their Celtic (and other) roots. It really doesn't need to be exact. I'm happy with getting any refernces to my culture at all...

    D&D 5E So I get this email at work today... :D

    I always assumed it'd be more of a pain in the neck.

    D&D 5E Should the game have extensive weapon lists?

    While I voted no for extensive weapon lists, I would very much like to see a weapon variation table. We can have the phb weapons as a baseline, but a table or chart showing how different cultures have come up with mechanically similar weapons. I know the DMG has a small section on refluffing for...

    New low level offensive spells

    Uh... on the one hand, I'd use these. On the other... Unrelated, are you or Bigby by any chance proctologists?

    D&D Beyond Beta: Your First Thoughts Thread!

    It looks nice? I guess. I already have a couple free apps that help me catalogue so this phase of the beta doesn't do much for me. As for the full plans for this program I can't say I'm enthralled. Subscriptions to stuff like this are no longer my taste. It's one of the reasons I stopped playing...

    Unearthed Arcana 5E Psionics Alert! The Mystic Is Back In Unearthed Arcana

    I roll investigation to disbelieve your illusion. *20 Nah, that's a warlord mate.

    Unearthed Arcana 5E Psionics Alert! The Mystic Is Back In Unearthed Arcana

    As an Asian myself, I can comfirm that we are, in fact, all psionic. On topic: I kinda feel that there are way too many bonus action discipline effects. Some I think really should just be smite-like riders. Also the soul knife feels a tad undertuned, like most gishes in this edition and I...

    D&D 5E Speculation Time - What New Themes Do You See in the Future?

    I like the far realm idea for introducing psionics. I'd also like to see a module that makes better use of fey creatures and, if we stick to Faerun, an eastward expansion into Kara-tur.

    New Feat: Exotic Melee Weapon Training

    I know I would love to have this sort of thing as an official or semiofficial option. It's rather irritating that weapons like staves and spears are only finessable through multiclassing into monk (not that I have a problem with monks, just the way weapons are restricted at the moment).

    D&D 5E In fifth-edition D&D, what is gold for?

    I'm actually glad the wealth by level and magic mart it gone. That always felt a bit odd to me. Like anyone who killed a goblin or two could buy there way up to heroism. As for the gold problem itself, I agree with what others have said in that a DM can either ignore it, as it doesn't really...

    D&D 5E Roleplaying the opposite gender

    Oh... yeah the voice is a problem. I'd just play it straight and talk normally as the character. No need to throw in that kind of distracting chicanery. For specific advise anything you can tell us about the character in question could help.
