If I were interested in breaking 5e, I'd go for the spine. Word on the street is that the book binding is kinda sketchy.

Got my hard copy in the mail yesterday! Already looking forward to the next 5e project your team puts together.

Yes, more accurately then... The compendium of official rules answers for Dungeons & Dragons (fifth edition) states that elves need 4 hours of trance for a long rest (no other rest time required).

People are getting hung up on the "8 hours of sleep" comparison when it's not relevant. Admittedly, I can see why it could cause confusion, but it's not meant to be extrapolated. The rules state elves need 4 hours of trance for a long rest (no other rest time required). All others need 8 hours...

It's not so useful that every caster will have it prepared at all times. And it's okay for players to hit the "win" button once in awhile when they do have it prepared in the right situation.

It's not confusing on its own. The wording is fairly clear. Unfortunately, not unlike rules that operate slightly differently from other editions, people are getting thrown off by their preconceived (mis)understandings.

I agree with shidaku. Rather than simply applying negative modifiers to checks, consider modifying the answers or information provided by knowledge based skills. Instead of highlighting precise details, offer generalities and starting points for further investigation based off what they might...

I may be misinterpreting the good Jester, but I believe he's advocating for table specific tweaks as needed rather than perpetuating a call for a potential chain of official rewrites from WotC.

Complex search mechanics are not particularly engaging at the table. The decision points are often at the extremes (blindingly obvious or frustratingly obtuse), and the payoff usually doesn't deliver in terms of challenge or just plain fun. Also, I'm not a fan of disjointed DCs and results for...

Sarcastically extrapolating one rule or mechanic to the point of absurdity as a point of refute in a rules discussion sounds like an appeal to extremes, so I assumed the statement wasn't genuine. If I was mistaken, then I apologize since my flippant reply wasn't terribly helpful. There aren't...

The rules already have separate mechanics for that. It's called "tracking."

I don't need to be ascribed to a side, thank you. My comments are my own. I do realize my reply is a bit late after things escalated, however, so I understand and duly note the desire to not discuss those points any further.

Society. And each individual in society. And when the two of those come into conflict due to religion, politics, family, or friends, one must examine their own moral compass and determine where their loyalties and values truly align. FWIW, I didn't find the use of the now banned terminology to...

Total Concealment, as a game term, no longer exists. Heavily Obscured is the 5e equivalent. As for the rest, the rules are as mellored presented them. As far as I can tell, Mearls nor Crawford have contradicted or further qualified them. That isn't to say a DM would not be justified to...

Your example highlights a false equivalency. EDIT: Or to quote a recent popular tweet... the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you ******* moron"

That sounds both charming and hopelessly naive. If you happen to find a practical way to make social media disappear, though, I'm totally on board.

Okay, you're concerned. Perhaps you can elucidate? You dislike the medium. Why are you concerned? Realistically, what are the potential dangers from this revelation?

I assume the "misleading" portion doesn't apply here, but everyone is biased. Not sure how you can avoid that in any form of media or entertainment. I have to agree with lowkey13. If Jeremy's small acknowledgement meets your standard for concern, I'm not sure how you make it through any given...

Maybe we should establish communal understanding as to what constitutes propaganda before there is further discussion. By a strict, sterile definition*, I might see how one could label Crawford's decision as potential propaganda. That being said, the modern and more common usage of the word...
