That's just not how humans work. There is always a part of the brain that is alert for danger, no matter what you are otherwise doing. This is a survival instinct hardwired into pretty much every living creature. You may be less likely to notice a hidden danger if you're paying most of your...

I really hope you're wrong about that. Monsters spread out across a bunch of books might as well not exist.

Once he gets to 5th level he can learn Pass Without Trace, a spell that will solve all your stealth related problems. Alternatively if you play with multiclassing he can take a level of Rogue and get Expertise in stealth. Rogue abilities synergize well with the Ranger, so it's a good class...

The charmed condition prohibits you from attacking the charmer, so no stabbing the vampire even if that's how you usually treat trusted friends.

Most of the time being Frightened doesn't make you run away though, the running away as fast as you can is a special effect from the Fear spell, the Frightened condition only prevents you from moving closer to the scary thing.

There's no such thing as nonlethal damage in 5E. There's only the option to knock out rather than kill a target you reduce to 0 HP with a melee attack. Taking any damage while at 0 HP still counts as failed death saves even if you were knocked out, so a vampire would have to be very careful to...

Beholders are unnatural creatures originating from the Far Realm. Psionics also come from the Far Realm, so a possible explanation is that beholders levitate with psionic power. That lets them levitate in an anti-magic field without having to be undignified air balloons.

Then houserule it. 5E is designed to your game, that you can play how you like. But don't argue that the rules text says something other than what it does.

But there is proof. Using magic you can visit the outer planes and actually meet the souls of the departed and see how they are doing. Sure that kind of magic is beyond most, but when multiple planar travelers independently bring back the same stories then that's as much proof as you can really...

If that was the intention behind the subclass it's a failure . Up until 10th level the only thing the PDK can do to support the party is a tiny bit of healing per short rest, after 10th it can grant an ally one extra attack per short rest. A battlemaster with Commander's Strike, Rally and...

There are several magical staffs that specify that they can be wielded as a magical quarterstaff, while the description of the "staff" category says that unless noted otherwise a staff can be wielded as a quarterstaff. The omission of the word "magical" in the category description seems to be...

No we don't have to disagree :) Simultaneous targeting isn't any more complicated than sequential targeting, it is having two different targeting methods in the same game that would make it complicated.

It's the only cantrip that is on par with weapons, and that is almost certainly as intended when you consider how limited the regular spellcasting the warlock has is. But I don't think that's the reason for the ruling, I believe that the D&D designers wanted spell and weapon attacks to use the...

No, we got a ruling confirming that the same rules apply for spell attacks as weapon attacks when it comes to targeting. Spells were never intented to require simultaneous targeting in 5E. Do you also require players to declare weapon multi attacks before making them? That would be even more fun...

This is the main flaw in your argument. The rules however never specify that the time between eldritch blasts is longer than an instant, it is purely your opinion that it is so. We know that an instant in D&D is not defined as "an imperceptibly short amount of time" because several...

If I was the DM I'd probably let any magical spiked armor that turns up to also give + to attack and damage. I figure if someone is taking the trouble to enchant a set of spiked armor they will also want it to be better at spiking people. Alternatively I'd just treat it as a magic weapon in the...

As far as I can tell spell ranges only apply when casting, unless it says otherwise in the spell description. So you can summon creatures and have them run around freely, cast Hold Person and then run far away while the target is immobilized, etc.

The Giant Ape has INT 7, that's almost as smart as the typical barbarian, and with WIS 12 it might even be wiser than much of the party. :D And it's one of the most powerful beasts available for polymorphing.

There's no place better. Anyone is considering spending their their time writing dmguild stuff deserves to know about this potential issue. Companies are not people, they don't have any expectation of privacy.

Oh dear that is bad. One would have to be stupid to invest a lot into making a polished quality product for the DMGuild if you know it can be taken down just like that. Hopefully Wizards will revise their handling of such complaints or the guild will never be more than a collection of quickly...
