    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    OGL and DMGuild are completely different licenses though. It doesn't seem like you're allowed to exempt any part of a DMGuild product from the mandatory sharing, so if you commission something for use on the DMGuild make sure to negotiate the rights to share it.

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    The fraud concerns are real though, without the waiting period it would be easy to scam money by buying thousands of copies of your own work and then demanding a refund from paypal after the money has been paid out.

    D&D 5E (2014) Polymorphed Barbarian

    No, polymorph will also replace your mental stats. You might be thinking of the druid's wildshape ability.

    Marilith Reactive Ability

    Yep, that's how the rules work, Giving shield to a Marilith is a significant buff though, it would bump her defensive CR up a fair bit.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spectulation: What do you think the next adventure path that WotC will come out with?

    What specifically makes you think WotC is "overwhelmed"?

    A rickety rope-bridge crossing a bottomless underground chasm.

    D&D 5E (2014) Highest Possible 5E AC

    You can't really control how your players will distribut their items though, so to keep AC under control then if one character has magic armor then nobody else can get a +something shield since they might end up with the same character.

    D&D 5E (2014) State of D&D

    There are still some unreleased products related to Rage of Demons, such as the DLC for Sword Coast Legends. I don't think they will announce anything new until they are done with RoD.

    D&D 5E (2014) Stealth & that big Rock!

    As a DM I'm fairly generous when it comes to letting the rouge hide and gain advantage from being hidden repeatedly in combat. Without that the rogue will often be missing with his one attack per round, and that gets boring for the player.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are solo monsters weaker in 5e?

    Give solo monsters max instead of average hit points and they work a lot better. Solos with average hit points die pretty fast when the PCs unleash all the powers they have been keeping in reserve during the entire adventure, with more HP the solos last long enough to bring their own powers to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    Ah, I meant less than a turn, not less than a round, thanks for spotting that. Why does attacks being valid triggers matter? I'm not sure if I'm following you.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    Actually what it means is that the magic of an instantaneous spell will never last for more than an instant, so if you ever rule that it does, you made a mistake somewhere and need to review your reasoning. As I said before, if you interpret "instant" as "less than a round" then it resolves any...

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    If something like that was obvious, this thread wouldn't be 11 pages long. The only thing that's obvious is that the rules around this matter are clear as mud and open to many interpretations :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Levels of literary heroes (and inflation thereof)

    No, he won them over by his deeds, not by charm.

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I reading the Mind Flayer attack right?

    And the roots of Dzéwà that nobody has ever seen or heard of before just happen to be dangling around the one time that one of the Warlock's signature abilities would be extremely useful...

    D&D 5E (2014) Finally switching my campaign from 4th to 5th Edition.

    I really don't like having to let mechanical concerns dictate the pacing of the story, and to always have to throw fights at the PCs that have no other purpose than whittling them down. The huge differences in how different classes manage resources is one of the most serious flaws in 5E, I wish...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I reading the Mind Flayer attack right?

    More specifically, forced movement that results in the grapplee being out of reach of the grappler will end the grapple. Most creatures have 5 or 10 foot reach so it's usually not hard, but there are some creatures like the Roper that have extremely long reach.

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    I understand your reasoning perfectly, I just disagree based on the points about delivery method from the errata I have described above. :)

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    I'm saying that the errata isn't saying what you think it is saying. A weapon is not a magical souce, and damage delivered from it is not magical damage. A spell that grants a weapon attack is not a magical attack. You are free to interpret the errata otherwise if you like, I will stick to my...
