    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    Sorry I haven't read all 200+ posts, so I can't be sure my sentiments haven't already been echoed, but isn't one of the reasons why Elves adventure and such is due to their desire to increase the "value" (so to speak) of their Trance?? By going out and seeing the world they stregthen their...

    Half-Elf (Eladrin) Variant as per SCAG?

    Is this all a reaction to MToF, or all of the pre-conceived notions based on established lore?? I mean, doesn't the Eladrin deserve the same Half-Elf capabilities of all the OTHER Half-Elf Variants?? Why blow up THIS bridge??

    Half-Elf (Eladrin) Variant as per SCAG?

    Given the untraditional Racial Ability of the Eladrin, how would you create a Half-Elf (Eladrin)?? All I can come up with is nicking Keen Senses entirely and limiting the Seasonal choices to a set 2/4, like an Equinox/Solstice split. Any advice would be handy!

    Volo Blackguard error?

    I had this same issue getting to 3rd Level with my Warlock. I chose the Pact of the Chain cuz a Sprite made sooooo much sense, character-wise. Looking at the Sprite, I instantly recognized discrepancies in their Attacks, and had a classic "WTF" moment. Came to these same 'boards for confirmation...

    Lifestyle Expenses in Actual Play

    I see the Lifestyle Expenses the same as Downtime Activity: they seem to work better in a home brew campaign meant to see the PC's up to 20th (or higher). If you're going to potentially spend YEARS in one campaign with one PC, then I could completely understand using both. Since 5E's inception...

    Anyone else tired of the miserly begrudging Rogue design of 5E?

    My current PC is a Forest Gnome Arcane Trickster and is one of my all-time favorite PC's--and I'm only level 4!

    Should D&D have more spells like Chromatic Orb ?

    Let's not forget that Chromatic Orb costs a 50 GP diamond (or better) per use.

    D&D 5E Pact of the Chain "Find Familiar" options...

    I'll admit, it's sounds pedantic. But the Sprite has an 18 Dex that's not being used there. C'mon, lil buddy, figure it out! Our Sprite here is already the runt of Chain Pact litter. I'd like to see him get a bone thrown his way.

    D&D 5E Pact of the Chain "Find Familiar" options...

    So looking at the Sprite, I see that it wields a Longsword for some reason. If that were changed to a Shortsword would it break the Sprite?

    Are we overthinking the warlord?

    Yes. We ARE overthinking the Warlord.

    D&D 5E Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    What if WotC had a hidden agenda to purposefully nerf the Ranger to keep the table ratio more balanced? Myself? I'd been a hard-core Ranger from AD&D 2nd thru 4E and I wasn't alone. We had no idea who Aragorn was but we still knew that Rangers were the coolest cats in town...and then 5E came...

    Mike Mearls Happy Fun Hour: The Warlord

    If you read the intro to the Bard in the PHB, you'll find they already planted the seeds for the Warlord many moons ago, like so many other Easter Eggs you can find in the Core 3...

    D&D 5E How do you rule switching weapons?

    I appreciate what a lot of you are "hand-waving", and understand (to an extent) why, but don't forget what you are undermining by allowing this, i.e. the Dual Wield Feat...

    D&D 5E How do you rule switching weapons?

    My group adheres pretty strictly to the PHB, if nothing else because we appreciate the strategy/like to keep things consistent and on the level, so to speak...if nothing else it keeps certain Feats and builds viable and unique (you can piece together what I mean if you're savvy...)

    D&D 5E Adamantine Skeleton?

    What's the point of having an Adamantium skull if getting whacked with a stick up side your grill is going to continue to be bothersome? Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Warlock's Pact of the Chain

    The third and last paragraph states that when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack of its own with it's reaction. My question: if you're capable of using your bonus action to engage in Two-Weapon Fighting can you forgo THAT...

    D&D 5E Forced movement into difficult terrain

    This is what I LOVE about D&D! If/when this happens at MY table I will adjudicate as I see fit, but often times this means giving the table a hearty dose of DRAMA!! Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

    Passive vs Active Perception...

    I'm currently DM'ing the 1st Chapter of TftYP. Made a conscious decision to do away with Passive Perception and just have the PC's roll a Perception Check every time they might be Surprised. Hated to see Bardic Inspiration, Halflings Lucky Trait, the Lucky Feat, and/or any other dice-altering...
