Yes. I'd say you did. If I have extra attack but attack only once (either by choice or circumstances) did I actually take the Attack action?

No, it wouldn't. But it wouldn't feel like sneak attack at all.

I'm content with level 1-3 being the way they are. The game has A LOT going on for new players to keeps track of.

The feat could be worded something like how bonus action spells/cantrips are. If you cast a cantrip as an action, then you can cast a bonus action spell. If you cast a bonus action spell, the only thing you can cast is a cantrip. The rule works both ways. Shield Master could be reworded to say...

He had to complete his Attack action before he could complete his Bonus action "I told you so..."

It's a single round fireball, is what it is. Just with rabid cows going "MOOOOO!!!!!!"

No one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to read or respond to posts in this thread. And it's not like the discussion has even veered completely off topic with people dropping into a thread and hijacking it. Astonishingly, we are approaching 1000 posts and we are still on topic...

Some kind of permanent dispel magic would get rid of the Pass Without Trace or whatever spells invaders might use. Permanent, automatic defenses would be useful, too. Spells or effects that automatically trigger upon the BBEG taking damage. Things the BBEG can do as a reaction so in the opening...

Fine by me. I have a t-shirt that says "Roll the Damn Dice". By far the thing that drives me crazy more than anything is an indecisive player who isn't ready to declare his action on his turn and takes forever to roll his dice. It's probably the only thing another player could actually do that...

Cool! He signed my PHB at Dragon Con. Then my PHB fell apart. From the two panels I saw him at the seemed to have extensive game design experience

I had fun with that kobold trait in a game (specifically, UK2 The Sentinel from 1984). I reflavored the xvarts as kobolds because, well, kobold the word is related to cobalt the color. And cobalt is blue and so are xvarts. Also, kobolds are small like xvarts. In any event, one PC wanted to...

I rated them either neutral or disappointed. Example: Warlocks. I love the mix and match of the Warlock class with patrons and Invocations. Love it. But there's something about the class I just don't find appealing. I don't think I'd ever play one. Ever. So I think every Warlock subclass was...

I enhance Forgotten Realms by calling it Mystara. And setting it in Mystara. And having it be Mystara. Or playing in Al-Qadim, which is a really fun FR setting with a small enough amount of material it won't break the bank. Or rewinding FR to, say, the way it was with the gray box and...

+1 to the basic magic items. 5e doesn't really need lots of magic items (though some subclass skills imply getting a magic weapon by level 6) so fun little magic items are always welcome. I don't have enough imagination to come up with them myself.

Not being familiar with Eberron myself, what books pre-5e are worth getting? Ebay/Amazon are great sources for out of print stuff if you want a paper copy (and I've purchased a ton in the last three years) and DMsGuild is great for PDFs (and I've purchased a ton in the last three years). By...

Since the survey was about "satisfaction" of subclasses and not power, I don't think you actually have to have direct experience with the subclass. My ratings of "satisfaction" was how excited I'd be to play that particular subclass. Serendipitously, I had just done an extensive reading of all...

Mearls isn't the rules guy. Mearls agreeing or disagreeing with an interpretation is of no value in determining how something is supposed to work.

A DM with with your attitude about "garbage" rulings and "tweet-waving idiots" isn't one worth playing with. It shows a profound disrespect for people you disagree with.

Done! Thanks for the heads-up. Unfortunately, it didn't ask what spells/feats we thought were UNDERpowered. I can't remember my "compare this class to this class choices" but I did rate some subclasses low - Berserker, Beastmaster, Wild Magic. I tried to think of subclasses I don't see people...

I tell my players that if they can't execute attacks from summons quickly they won't get to use the spell. As a DM, I can execute one attack in about five seconds - declare target, roll dice, announce damage. If a player is going to summon 8 things, he'd better be that fast.
