Not to debate this, because we don't know. All of our experience with the new ruleset, especially the printed versions in the PHB, are limited. But we do know that adding options and reactions takes more time. Players trying to decide what to do takes longer. It is the reason the wizard's turn...

That is really cool.

The Nazgul is hilarious. :) Thanks for sharing.

We don't know if combat will take longer or be shorter. In my experience of using many different systems, the length of combat will be table dependent. For some tables, it will be shorter. For others, longer. But the fact is we have no source to say the 2024 ruleset uses fewer rounds. That is a...

I think you might have misunderstood. The quote below is what I am referencing: I bolded the part that is important. To that quote I responded - "It does." Why? Because it does. There is no question that more choices and reactions lead to longer rounds of combat. It does. It's the difference...

Those skeleton sidewalls are awesome!

I second this question. :)

That looks incredible!

Just got back from some Alaskan hikes. If you ever need a Dwarven valley of place where a white dragon lives - it's there! Here is one of our hikes over Crow Pass. This view is from the middle of the pass, looking down and up respectively.

It does.

One single phone and a stand is all you need. ;) Just a thought.

Isn't there one skill that covers these actions though - stealth. So those differences, outside of the narrative, have no mechanical differences. That is the thing with hiding or sneaking, it all uses the same skill. I mean, sure there might be an instance where you are wedged above the door and...

Even if it isn't for some people, there still needs to be an easy way to denote what you are talking about. Are you talking about the 2014 stealth rules or 2024 stealth rules? Are you talking about the 2014 green dragon or the 2024 green dragon? Are you talking about the 2014 barbarian or the...

That second part seems a definite truth. I know for me, that each level I increase, I re-write my entire character on a blank character sheet. Handwritten. No typing. No program. And because of that, I can definitely say I have it memorized, even at higher levels. That one little thing has sped...

Can you agree that your quote probably shouldn't be so absolute? It may not slow combat for your table, but anytime you add something to combat, be it a reaction, ability, etc. it slows it down for many tables. Maybe not yours, but for others, probably.

So you have 30 seconds to decide where to move, count the feet, declare your action, roll your dice, use a bonus action if needed (which might also include movement and/or rolling more dice, roll damage, and add it all up? I commend you and the people at your table. To this day, I have never...

Because all the books clearly say the DM is the final arbiter of a ruling. If they chose to skip the first couple pages in the PHB explaining the game, because as you said, they are new, then that is something they should read. If they still don't understand, they can read the first few pages of...

☝️ This. One thousand times - this! The player that would keep insisting on invisibility is the player looking for a DM that doesn't know or understand the rules. Which is when they can pretend their smarter than everybody in the room. Instead, a DM who says no, and players that are mature and...
