Because folks are assuming that an independant warhorse will pursue foes or go where the rider wants it to. In my game, if someone lets their warhorse act independently, it will attack those who have already harmed it, intimidate those who come near it, but will otherwise avoid conflict. Mount...

Large doesn't default to 10' reach in 5E. This is a notable downgrade and makes the extra area large creatures take up even more detrimental.

I'd start them medium. with at least 3 levels of ogre to get to large. Large doubles damage dice so it is better, if blander to superiority dice a Battlemaster gets at 3rd level as the extra damage is for every hit.

Cave ins & new tunnels help change a dungeon up. Maybe a mated pair of umber hulks chilling in what used to be a hidden treasure room if the players metagame a bit too much.

Players should try to get ways of mitigate such things, but those are the breaks. If a strong foe can be removed from play, so can a player. Personally I'd rule an effect like Maze would leave a magical tether on the material plane that could be affected with Mord's / Mage's Disjunction. One...

If one lets readies include extra attacks, I'd strongly recommend bumping any spell that paralyzes or stuns a spell level / 1 Ki point along with banning the -5/+10 feats.

Yeah, warlocks get the best cantrip ready overall, but have to give up that Hex that could have lasted all day otherwise.

Considering that they haven't finalized the last of the rules ( Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's Guide errata is not yet out ) it may just be a matter of time.

And the foe has to give the OA. And then there is the variable of whether the DM runs the feats as obvious to foes or Gotcha!s.

Yeah. Pretty much this. Even stuff that could be interpreted (Command:Flee, Dissonant Whispers) to cause foes to draw OAs would still cost the rogue their Reaction, which is pretty valuable for most of them to 1/2 an attack's damage. So at least if the Warlord's action granting cost the...

It's more potent than it ought to be IMHO, but I'm a very anti Nova type person. A definite design error not making smite a bonus action. It is mitigatable by keeping environments target rich. Fiends have flunkies, dragons have mates with young and the undead don't kill, they recruit.

Yeah, the trash got taken out.

Innate Spells on the most part should be counterable. This edition innate spells generally require all the components of the given spell so they can be recognized and countered however the DM normally handle such. On the other hand I'm pretty sure Psionics can't be countered as there is no...

I'll pass on pointing any cutting laser at my face.

Well, not all such characters are going to be protectors with great potency. Plus there's some Trademark issues related to that term. Issues that involve going toe to toe with TimeWarner's and Disney's hordes of lawyers. "Humanoid anomalies" works for me.

Most likly V. It spent a LOT of effort into researching Divination magic when Azure city got Sequestered so it does stand to reason V has a spell to punch through the abjurations the Creed of stone has put up and is about to fly in Disintegrates blazing.

It would at least be some closure. IMHO the strip has been at the point of "Get ON WITH IT!" for years and a TWK would be an awesome way for the author to say "I'm :):):):)ing done". It was pretty awesome to see proof Durkula truly is Durkon's cross to bear. With his own words he damned his...

Exactly.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, it's just typical encounter distances is something I'd really expect to be in the DMG. Now if the Distances are in the DMG, and it's just the chart that is screen exclusive, then I'm being way too harsh.

What a jerkass marketing move. Leaving things like that out of the DMG intentionally to put them on a peripheral product.
