Would not arcane be a good fit to correlate with ethereal plane?

Hex seems to be clear, but on hunters mark I am in doubt. It really should have its damage type specified for clarity.

if the epic effects from the in-game artifacts would have a mechanic behind them, that would be awesome. But i believe some effects are better done purely by narrative anyway.

i disagree, ranger is very strong (archer). the nat explorer is that: You start out with eg forest. DM shifts everyone to Avernus. Dang you hit level 6 and now select Avernus as your favorite terrain. If your DM is not a total Bob he will allow that. Archer also excels at ranged single target dd...

Zilch, open rolling on my side also, for the thrills. But i got a spreadsheet, mainly a roster of the mobs which may appear during the session, plus some keywords on the adventure. This sheet i do cover from the eyes of my players.

Nevah !!!!!!!!!!!! I also use nat. 1s and that is my part of the fun as a DM bec. my rulings are not fixed about what happens then, and I e.g. let spells crit if save is a nat. 1

If I run a sandbox then the players can run off in all directions. But I announce upfront that it is a sandbox, and there are things round some corners which can and will ditch out a TPK if the players did not watch or ignore the very obvious stop sign, which will be in place as a safeguard for...

Warlocks ("of the medallion" thereby using the of the tome mechanic), having a divine casters spell list are perfect for Templars, I think. If you give them selected clerical spells you meet the feel that they are something like clerics, but mechanically they resemble warlocks rather. You only...

Color coded for better understandability, please expand citate. You summed it up perfectly and I do not see any problem at all with the selection except that I would make Templars Warlocks as I already posted a few times. I do not need Xanathars for DS. (Fun fact : are Beholders a thing at all...

Why do you want to shoot horses :P ? Try a mounted archer instead :)

Hahaha :P

He fell asleep in the restroom? Nah, if everything else fails, he walks along behind the group, but if you rule it like that, he cannot show up after a TPK to get his comrades resurrected . If it is an open environment (e.g. Town), he is on vacation or what have you, if it is some remote...

Well I can predict the following mathematically: With Number of people participating in this survey (n -> big number) => ((all the bars) -> 100%) in an almost even manner, except 8. whereas I think the expression "submission" has a negative co-notation for some, so it is not selected that...

And oddly, no discussion ever why some one can not play his half-tiefling-half hobbit in Theros. Zilch. Nada. What is it, that makes some people on the forum here want to "defile" the classic DS setting with their "modern" "anything-has-to-go" expectations, and with other settings like Theros...

Yeah and every looser is the second winner instead (Todays mentality when children games in the kindergarten have the slightest competitive element).

Ok, that explains a lot. A Bob in the group can make life difficult :P

You've seen Monty Pythons "Life of Brian" to often? Edit: so how about that holy bottle and the holy sandal from the movie above :P

See, I thought a bit more about that. Imagine your party is sure about the next room in the dungeon contains a red dragon of a certain age category. They also know you take damage averages. Now they start counting their remaining HP and comparing them with the average of the breath weapon of...

Thing is, the more dice are to be rolled simultaneously, the less deviation you get with that method, still i love the frightened looks of the PCs to much, when I grab a handful of d10s ...

No. That is big part of the fun for me, the random element. Taking it away for either players or monsters would ruin the game for me. I can see its use when Chris Perkins does his public games on the cons. He takes fixed damage sometimes for mobs, so he saves time, and maybe to show to the...
