    Coming Back from Banishment

    I don't know if I would feel comfortable with available information to make that call for another DM. I don't know the adventure being run; I don't know how intelligent the ultimate foe is in the adventure. For example, I would probably do things to "invalidate" a player's action if the main...

    Coming Back from Banishment

    Personally, I try not to judge the motivation behind a DM's decision, especially if I'm not at that table. I just try to give a person, it goes for players too, what is possible under the rules. Nothing More, nothing less. I disagree with your your use of "never". I have set up situations...

    Coming Back from Banishment

    It's not automatic; however, it more likely than a devil or demon having planar travel spells. It's the easiest and most likely scenario to allow the monster to return to the fight if it essential or desirable for the plot.

    Coming Back from Banishment

    I guess I wasn't clear with my initial response. A devil banished from a non-hell plane will only need to cast dispel magic, assuming that is available, to return from banishment. It has a minute to do it, but it wouldn't have to resort to planar gates or other methods of planar travel to...

    Coming Back from Banishment

    Since the plane it was banished from isn't it's home plane, dispel magic should work to end the spell early. Banishment targets a creature and isn't an instanteous spell, concentration of one minute. Dispel magic cast on the creature would end any spell effects on it.

    Two-Weapon Fighting - Is this possible?

    Even though someone has decided to call me a bit case for stating this, there is a subtle difference between the the word if and when. And it is the degree of certainty about the condition. That is basic English. Examples are great, but when is used when the certainty of the condition is...

    Two-Weapon Fighting - Is this possible?

    When and if are different. If is used when something might or might not happen. When is used when something definitely has to happen. In the SM case, a reaction might keep the attack action from happening, but the intent is more important. With TWF, the action has to happen for the bonus...

    "Dust" and "Midway" - Codenames for Upcoming D&D Hardcovers

    I base mine off of a quote from Mike Mearls from Reddit: It is an older quote, but it does spell out the general philosophy behind the scheduling of publications. Yes, they have made alterations to that philosophy since then; i.e., they couldn't really make it work it as intended early on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tales from the Yawning Portal: anyone know what level players will advance to in The Sunless Citadel?

    "Dust" and "Midway" - Codenames for Upcoming D&D Hardcovers

    Yawning Portal, the actual location of the tavern, is at least anchored in or around Waterdeep, and it also feels more like a filler adventure for a quota than an actual attempt at an adventure path. Ravenloft was a stretch from the Sword Coast perspective, but it wasn't FR. On the flip side...

    "Dust" and "Midway" - Codenames for Upcoming D&D Hardcovers

    Personally, I think we are going back to the Underdark against Mind Flayers. Dust might just refer to in-frequented places; place where dust tend to gather. I think that the Mystic, by extension psionics, will be coming out with the rules expansion, and Mearls did state, at least I think I...

    Tressyms and Find Familiar

    Technically, you have to select fiend, celestial or fey instead of fey, at least by the strictest interpretation of the rules as written. However, I don't know very many DMs that wouldn't allow a familiar to remain a beast. In my experience, it's doesn't represent a game breaking request; I...

    Tressyms and Find Familiar

    According to the PHB, a familiar is a fey, fiend or celestial instead of a beast. If the creature chosen is not a beast, then it is the type listed in its Monster entry. If I remember, the tresses is a beast, therefore it's type should be swappable. A little demon cat or a angelic cat with...

    DM Quest Reward Items

    So... I have a question about the DM Quest Reward Items. I DM'ed the Out of the Abyss adventure, at least most of it, and handed out Dawnbringer, which is essentially a sentient sun sword. That sword is listed as Legendary, a rarity that can't be claimed by the rewards program. However...

    Future of the current Adventure League

    Woo... I made that comment about DMs and motivation. While I did make those from the perspective of an event coordinator, I also DM and select, volunteer and avoid mods based on my personal preferences. One of those factors is whether it's a CCC or DDAL. Why would I run a CCC over a A DDAL...

    Future of the current Adventure League

    I'm kinda new here, but I have lurked some. I'm not going to dismiss the idea that something might be unbalancing about the DM Rewards and Quest Program. However, I would like to know what is "broken"? I tend to agree with the other posters that it isn't broken. The only thing I've seen so...
