I can't wait to hear more about this one, I'm really surprised to hear that Godsbreath is the region chosen for a dragon-based adventure. The obvious choices would've been Yeonido, Dayawlongon, Akharin Sangar, Yongjing, or Umizu. I don't see how Godsbreath ties to dragons whatsoever, so this...

Why? They don't owe us any explanation. They put out a survey, feel free to respond if you want your opinion to be collected, or ignore it if you don't care. It should be self-explanatory that an online survey of far less than 1% of the player base is not intended to survey the entire player base

I voted Yes because AI DMs are going to be huge in the future, whether WotC utilizes them or not. They already exist now and are improving quickly. That's more of a replacement of the video gaming experience though, less so for the table top experience People voting No Never are delusional...

Yeah I love Stephen Glicker but he's basically just a conspiracy theorist who actually does have some great insights occasionally, and a decent chance of being correct once in a while.

Playtest responders are definitely a tiny sliver of a minority of DnD players. In my experience, the majority of DnD players don't even know what Wizards of the Coast is, much less keep up with daily news about the game. The purpose of the surveys wasn't to make game design decisions based on...

MANY people reported this spell being completely bonkers, and needing to be nerfed, including prominent Youtubers. It "made it through playtesting" because WotC knew it was busted and didn't see a need to change it

Do you find that your players ever use this? I like this idea alot but I'm not sure if anyone would ever bother to use it

Yeah that really is a problem, and similar restrictive wording was removed from Command. Retaining those restrictions from 2014 as "unwritten common sense" seems like an easy homebrew change to better balance these spells in 5.5e

"How many targets can you hit with an AOE spell" is a completely different question from "how many attacks can you do". Conjure Volley isn't even a single attack roll, it's a saving throw. Also Action Surge doesn't let you do Conjure Volley twice since it is a magic action. There is so much...

My son played basically that same character in a campaign where the DM had a homebrew rule that all cantrips were bonus actions (so what you wrote was achievable without metamagic). It wasn't annoying at all, his turns took like 30 seconds - roll a big handful of d20's, count up the...

Depends on the source of the rumor. Are they trustworthy? Are they someone I want to gain favor with? How funny is the NPC's accent? I'm not doing anything because of some random tavern rumor no matter how powerful the item supposedly is Now if some random NPC with a funny voice wants me to...

Ok maybe I'm just missing the sarcasm or something. Considering the large amount of incorrect other statements they have made about how Action Surge works, I'm not sure it was hyperbole, but hell if I know what's going on

My new homebrew rules related to 2024 edition: Conjure Minor Elementals scales as +1d6 damage per level instead of +2d8 Hunter's Mark can be moved for free when your target dies Divine Intervention does not change the casting time Spirit Guardians (and similar spells) can only deal damage once...

Again, what are you talking about? There is absolutely not any way you can do 1024 or 2048 attacks in a round. Action Surge gives you, at the absolute most, 5 extra attacks if we're including Echo Knight subclass. Where are you getting 1000+ from?

What are you talking about? Action Surge gives you one addition Action, which can be used to do however many attacks your class is capable of doing with the Attack Action. So at Level 5 you get 2 additional attacks, at Level 11 you get 3, and at Level 20 you get 4. That's not a "popular...

I definitely wouldn't say they're doing an amazing job at using keywords effectively, but it is pretty clear that they did put effort in 2024 towards using keywords to make wording less ambiguous or open for interpretation, at the expense of making wording sound natural. There are some...

"Natural English" leads to far more confusion and ambiguity. I greater prefer the emphasis on Keywords for clarity. Your argument does make sense; I hadn't thought about this before but I agree that the newer style provides more constant reminders that you are reading game rules and is less...

Fair enough, tone doesn't always come thru properly in text, and it seemed like a serious critique since that inevitably happens repeatedly in every single thread where anyone posts anything about 5e. It's hard to not be annoyed at how acceptable it is to threadcrap on any discussion about 5e...

My bad I guess I should've quoted that person then :)

There's nothing complicated here it is just a Level 20 Fighter with a Greataxe and a contrived scenario with multiple enemies lined up like bowling pins. The only "complicated" part is you need a friend to cast Haste on you, but that's just outside help, not part of the character build. It's...
