The various explanations of stealth are not quite worded well enough so some clarification is in order: you're no longer hiding from a creature if it can see you clearly. Having some cover is sufficient to remain hidden, so that example of blending into a crowd is totally appropriate with RAI...

That sounds really weird to me. I thought coming back to harass folks after a normal creature should have at least bled out was kind of a major part of the old tales. Hell, it matches lots of real life man-eater animal stories where the peasant folk or contracted laborers have convinced...

Any DM that's run with a six player group (or more,) starts to realize that with everybody rolling the same check groups of adventurers succeed at almost everything. If they don't want to do the three pillars thing and are basically just trying to get into the next fight maybe that works for...

Another detail that I don't think has been brought up here: I think I ran into a tweet that explained that the multiattack move on various monsters is their special way of reflecting the multiple attacks class features that character classes get. As such you're not supposed to be able to use it...

It's begging the question to be talking about THE tradeoff when none has been mentioned. This pact gives the Warlock access to whatever type of weapon they want at the time, and includes a method for upgrading it at such a time as the party comes into possession of magical weapons, such that...

I'm unable to point to the source of this ruling, but as I understand it you cannot have two equations for your AC, so there would be none of this combination natural armor and unarmored defense stuff from recent posts. Makes enough sense from a gamist perspective, but if you prefer flavor I'd...

With Daylight being a 3rd level spell that sounds like it might harm vampires, I'd expect most long lived vampies that have been very active in their machinations to have encountered the spell before. They might flinch when the room lights up, but when you've lived long enough that you're...

Wow, thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding that you don't just suddenly swell up like you swallowed a watermelon whole the morning after successful conception... Especially after I've touched on how the intricate details of cell division in mammals and reptiles only really differ by the...

Didn't native American women use to pretty much walk along with the tribe all over the place and then just excuse herself for a bit when the due date finally rolled around, only to catch up virtually immediately afterward? Biologically it's not that mammal vs hard egg would be a big issue (the...

Depending on how much soft tissue he has left the lich having potion poured on him might be indistinguishable from him imbibing it.

The single sufficiently large barrel hiding location is probably suitable to 'hide' from combatants, but only for the purpose of sneak attacks. They're not going to be targeting you there anyway due to the lack of line of sight, so they either un-hide you by bypassing the barrel, or they just...

I hope nobody has said this yet, but I'm too busy to do more than skim. The game also refers to magic quite a bit. Archaic and discredited. The use of race in DnD can mean subspecies if you want, after all there's never been a horde of dwarves mining out a city in a mountain while they fight...

I get the whole "don't give monsters abilities that you don't want the players using" style, but having a dragon mouth deep throating an arm before you chomp it off seems like a fair limitation on the maneuver. If the lich gets himself temporarily snuffed out and then reforms from his...

In terms of the general medieval wilderness settings there's just a lot of land that the humanoid races haven't yet tamed. The aberrations and beasties out there only need to be strong enough not to be someone else's meal, and continue to find their own meals. Speaking from a biology background...
