Now I remember where I got my bee stats from. Take a giant wasp and make it weaker.

I had to convert a Giant Ant for UK3 and a Giant Bee for X2, so I'm fairly certain those aren't in an official 5e book. Not sure about 3rd party products.

The Basic Rules are a complete copy/paste from the same sections in the Players Handbook. The text is exactly the same, so it's a great recommendation.

I collect things. But I absolutely do not associate D&D with collecting.

I'd like one or more new weapon properties. Maybe some kind of status effect. Many cantrips inflict some kind of status effect, why not more weapons? I'd also like if a DM in a campaign I played would take a few minutes and list the names of real world weapons in existing categories (or maybe...

My preferred way is initiative is a dexterity check where everyone's dexterity modifier is zero. I don't think dexterity should matter to initiative but setting the modifier to zero still allows abilities like those of the Bard or Champion Fighter to work. It's not a very exciting change, but...

I let the EK in my campaign toss her sword in the air, cast Shield, and resummon it to her hand. Yes, you can't use a bonus action on someone else's turn but turns are just artificial, anyway. She had fun coming up with silly ways to throw her sword. The "throw" never actually did anything. It...

The entire ability could have been reworded in errata to work similar to cantrips and bonus action spells. The causality works both ways with those. Cast cantrip -> only cast bonus action spell. Cast bonus action spell -> only cast cantrip. Attack action -> can shield bash. Shield bash -> can...

Using the actual rules as starting point, the above is an incredibly important factor to weigh in regards to the Ranger ability in question. The amount of times this will come up in a campaign is probably in the neighborhood of "once". It's even more important to let players use these kinds...

My view of sidekicks, and it's what I put in the feedback, was that they were unnecessarily complicated. I already have the basics of the classes memorized but sidekicks required me to remember new classes that were *almost* like actual classes - enough similarity that it was easy to confuse...

Last campaign the charter was like this: Let the DM track all party treasure and items. We are lazy.

Each one dollar a player gives the DM equals 100 XP.

When people discuss wizard "builds" I rarely see them suggest a feat. The benefit of this is that the wizard can have that 20 Int at level 8. Sure, it's only a +1 to an attack roll or a save DC but it's not nothing.

Robert Schwalb, who signed my 5e PHB, which then fell apart? Sold.

I ended up getting one book as a pdf because of cost. In Al-Qadim's case, the benefit of the paper copy is that so many Al-Qadim supplements are boxed sets. I love me some boxed sets, so it was worth the cost. One set has a flying carpet! A look at my costs in 2014 shows that I spent $20-25...

I hope it's al-qadim. If you haven't yet, check out the great 2e supplements. I waited until 2014 to actually get any, but eBay was quite forthcoming with relatively cheap copies of stuff in great shape. And there isn't so much that you'll go broke buying it. Better start brushing up on your...

I'm glad you explained what would happen with your group if they used HD in place of a level of exhaustion. Perhaps 2 HD per level? Three levels and they are out of HD. at normal rules of half HD per long rest it's two days to get all HD back. In my games, I do Slow Natural Healing and Gritty...

I might add a "can throw things farther" rider to the Athlete feat and/or the Remarkable Athlete feature of the Champion.
