    D&D General 50 Years of D&D On a Single Chart

    Instead of complaining about dates, I'm going to complain about it being a pie chart. Bar charts are much better for reading information from a graphic. Human perceptual systems are much better at comparing lines than comparing areas or angles.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

    Well, I have made several objections to your "whole text" argument, and you've ignored every single one of them. What else am I going to talk about? Given that, and given that this discussion is irrelevant (since we both agree we would allow it in play), I see no point in continuing with this...

    D&D General 50th Anniversary- Are You Not Entertained?

    My reaction to seeing this thread was "Oh, right, it is the 50th anniversary..."

    Do TTRPGs Need to "Modernize?"

    I would argue that there are plenty of modern board games that violate those principles. And there are older board games that don't.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

    No, it doesn't. It says the "whole game's text" explains it, even though there is nowhere in the whole game's text that explains it. I explained how the whole game's text supports my position. You haven't even explained it, you've just referenced it like it's the Bible or something. You might be...

    D&D General Maps, Maps, Maps! Dungeons, Ruins, Caverns, Temples, and more... aka Where Dyson Dumps His Maps.

    Why are all the temples for lost things? Where's the Temple of the Found Sword? ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

    Care to cite which rule says you can't break up an action? In that case I would have to say RAW is not clear. The key point is can an action be broken up by another action or not, and there is nothing in the rules clarifying that either way. And as others have pointed out, that's because it is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

    You're saying there needs to be an exception to a rule, but you can't state the rule that you need an exception to. And I think if you take the rules as a whole, the combat turn is obviously meant to be fluid. You can break up your move, you can break up your action with your move, you can do...

    Who’s your best Batman?

    I voted other for Leonard Robinson. He would dress up as Batman and visit sick kids in the DC/Baltimore area. At first he did it in a black Lambo, but he later got a Batmobile replica.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

    Well, reading the Player's Handbook on Tavern Brawler, it DOES NOT say you insert the bonus action. It just says you get a bonus action. By your reading of the rules, that bonus action can't be taken until after the attack action finishes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

    So? We know things can happen between those attacks. Movement can happen, reactions can happen. I'm saying that I don't see where it says other things can't happen between those attacks. I'm not sure what this has to do with the question at hand. Bonus action spells aren't about doing things in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

    I don't really see the need for something explicit on the page you referenced. It's not really talking about breaking up an action, it's talking about breaking up movement (PHB p.190): That doesn't say to me that without an explicit rule I can't do things between attacks. It says to me that you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard exists, now make YOUR Bard. (+)

    I'd lean heavily into the lore side. My bard would know things, they would know how to find things out, they would know how to figure things out. While they would be good with charisma skills, they would be awesome with intelligence skills. While they could be a spell caster, it would be a...

    On the Origin of the Divinities

    Sort of. My world is an interior world, so people live on the inside of it, rather than the outside of it. It's basically a small Dyson Sphere, with a surface area about 10,000 times that of the Earth. In the center is Avv, a ball of fire that acts as a sun. The moons orbit around Avv, and often...

    D&D 5E (2014) What should I steal from these 5e adventure books? (+)

    My favorites from DoMM: Sarguath Level (3): Hobgoblins vs. Cultists. Drop the players in the middle and see what happens. Skull Port (Appendix): Underground Port ruled by Thieves' Guild. Dweomercore (9): School for evil wizards. Vanrakdoom (18): Saved the doomed dragon and his human ally...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I want to start assigning 5E monster types to threads. Undead for threads that just will not die, abomination for the ones we just don't understand, fiend for the ones with an obvious troll (although, I guess trolls are technically giants...).

    D&D 5E (2014) Forge of Fury TFTYP?

    The first time I ran it the female rogue failed the save against the ghost and ended up 60 years old. As they were coming out, some orcs that had fled teamed up with some archers that had been sent to kill the PCs and ambushed them at range. They manage to take out the rogue, and the barbarian...
