I'm a fan of that. Even as a player. Especially if you're playing with players who will decide to not sneak or do whatever when they roll low. (No, you cannot decide to not climb the mountain after you've rolled a 2 athletics.) It makes the roll much more suspenseful.

I like the idea of that. If I did it I would keep it for PCs only, not monsters. Other than maybe a few major enemies or long time foes of the party in major encounters.

You could also describe it as super slow reflexes. You move at the same speed, but it takes a significant time for you body to react to what your mind wants it to do. So you move at same speed, but by the time your legs respond to the impulse and start moving, you've only covered the 15 feet in...

I'd go with Mistwell's suggestion of proficiencies. I don't think you should get something comparable to Extra Attack. That's one of the downsides that goes with multiclassing that should be taken into account when choosing to multiclass. Same as the way spell slots interact when multiclassing...

Even if you can take the BA attack before the normal attack (and I don't agree that you are able to), you wouldn't be able to stow either weapon prior to making another attack. You would be changing the circumstances that allowed you to take the bonus action, which would disallow the bonus...

We removed the concentration save on damage for our group. Casters just maintain concentration. It really hasn't affected anything too much, other than it being one less thing to remember. We all, including the DM, forgot about them over half the time anyway. We still have concentration checks...

Rogue with Sentinel and Sanctuary standing next to a fighter. The enemy can try to attack the rogue, but if it fails the saving throw, it would have to attack the fighter. Or it could just choose to attack the fighter and not worry about it. Once the enemy attacks the fighter, Sentinel activates...

As an alternative to Rage, you might look at something like the Barbarian's reckless attack feature instead. You could have the save or not (I agree that it should probably be wisdom or charisma). But at the start of the battle, say something like, "You are overcome by a rage against the...

I would be against this. It is essentially using the Bardic Inspiration without spending the resource. I get that there is a difference between the extra die added and rolling with advantage. Lockpicking is something that I would generally say you can't assist someone with anyway, since it is...

I agree with many of the others. You don't want to discourage your players from doing good deeds. There are already a lot of players who wouldn't have even thought about giving the money to the town. Unless you had already hinted that the elder was greedy or shady and they ignored the hint.

It's not a ruling, it's the rule. PHB page 190-191. Standing up from prone costs an amount of movement equal to half your speed. If your speed equals 30, it costs 15. If you speed equals 60 (because of Haste), it costs 30. It makes sense if you think of a round as unit of time. It takes time to...

I suggest taking a look at everyone's abilities and making sure they are being used correctly. Then when you sit down with them, you can say "Hey I realized that we have been doing this incorrectly, so some things my change slightly." As long as you're respectful and not blaming anyone, it...

According to Sage Advice, each goodberry does get the bonus. So for a level 1 spell, each berry cures 4 hp. At level 2, each would heal 5 hp. But, I woudn't necessarily disagree with your ruling to prevent this kind of abuse.

I figured they were abusing Goodberries. One will provide sustenance for an entire day, so you could limit the amount that a person can consume in a day. Also, it is an action to eat ONE berry. So they can eat 50 berries to recover 50 hp, but they'll be standing there for 5 minutes doing it...
