Today I started by wondering which animals can see in the dark. Looking it up, I came up with an extensive list of animals that probably should be listed as having darkvision because they have a tapetum in their retina to enhance nightvision. Bears, cats, canines, rodents, whales, cows, sheep...

Right, forgot the thread rules about rituals for your list. Since its a permanent spell, it doesn't even need to take up a spell slot. Almost all of its adventuring utility can be prepared during downtime.

Magic mouth is an incredibly useful spell to me. It's basically a permanent alarm spell. you can have 4 or more rocks/ sticks/ arrows with magic mouth placed around your camp to help avoid being surprised. With 100 casts of magic mouth you can arguably make a weapon of warning or helm of warning...

I'm in the nerf the PC's camp rather boost the monsters. IMO PCs have too many hit points and do too much damage even without feats and multiclassing. Stop the cold war and de-escalate before its too late! :)

Unarmed strike has the light property. Meaning you can take an unarmed strike as a bonus action following two-weapon fighting rules

Mostly responding to the shock of the realization that the current RAW suggests 33 full adventuring days to go from level 1 to level 20. With 5-7 ASI from level 1 to 20. I starting seeing advertisements for professional adventuring companies in my mind. TIER4 ADVENTURING "I joined...

How are worlds not teaming with level 20 characters, especially long lived races like elves?

I like the EK as a wizard half-caster, fits so well with Paladin as a cleric half-caster and ranger as a druid half-caster, too bad EK doesn't have unique spells like the other two. I wish remarkable athlete were more remarkable, something like expertise in Athletics, so that champions could...

I've been toying with the idea of play testing Hit point dice increases from proficiency bonus. So level one characters would start with 3 hit dice (maxed of course, because PCs are heroes), and then 7 total Hit dice at level 17. This solves first level fragileness, and hit point bloat. This...

Longswords are finesse weapons : elves, thieves, bladesingers, and owners of magical longswords rejoice.

I only allow feats for Fighters and Rogues. Fighters get a feat at level 6 and 14. Rogues get one at level 10.

Rosencrantz is a wizard. He's not even proficient with a shortsword. The best he can do is get an auto hit and crit. Besides coup-de-grace would ruin the test and there are no coup-de-grace rules in 5e anyway.

Poison, Basic. You can use the poison in this vial to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to three pieces o f ammunition. Applying the poison takes an action. A creature hit by the poisoned w eapon or ammunition must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 poison damage. Once...

OK, so my character Rosencrantz decides to test this theory. He successfully casts hold person on both the LvL 1 barbarian and the LVL 1 wizard, eliminating all combat skills, dodges, parries. Then he takes a shortsword and chops each of the two. Both are autocrits, because of the hold...

Should have thought of that BEFORE you signed the pact...

The problem with hit points as abstractions is that not only does damage become an abstraction, but, healing and resting become abstractions. Temporary hit points become meta-abstractions. Falling damage at mid to high levels become ridiculous. And you are left with the immersion-crushing...

Or only 3 arrows in the movies:) Legolas: sharpshooter with +5 dexterity bonus: single arrow = d8+15 = 19.5 average 3 arrows shot by 12 dexterity urak (orog) = 3d8 +3 = 16.5 average

I'd like to see sorcerers be able apply more than one metamagic at a time to a spell at higher sorcerer levels (maybe up to 3 or 4 at level 20) and/or have the metamagic effects increase for extra spell point cost .

Meta- has several definitions. One is "as a higher level of abstration" as you point out. But the another is "self-referential". I guess I've always assumed meta- in metamagic was the second definition, meaning that it was magic about magic.
