All monsters come with whatever abilities the DM gives them.

This summarizes my experience. I kept getting a bunch of installation errors but stuck with it long enough to eventually figure it out (it worked smoothly downloading with Edge but not Brave, Firefox, or Chrome - what are the odds?). Then I finally got it open and it looked cool but I had no...

Correct answer here is that it totally depends on the world the DM is running. In a Low Magic world where PCs are some of the only spellcasters, it's a huge stretch. In a High Magic world where NPC Adventurers of higher level than the PCs are commonplace, not remotely a stretch at all. For...

Literally every PC adventuring party is going to have someone with Dispel Magic available. It's really not much of a stretch that most packs of non-beast monsters would have the someone with the spell

^This. Any Caster planning to use a weapon will usually start with 1 level in Fighter to gain Constitution saving throw proficiency plus Weapon Mastery plus Fighting Style plus Shield proficiency plus maybe they care about Heavy Armor proficiency. Added bonus is that you're also just a 1 level...

Well duh if you have a great group of people to play with for free then that's infinitely better. To be Captain Obvious for a second here, not everyone has a group to play with for free. You can do all the apples to oranges comparisons you want, $20 is just not particularly expensive to do...

I don't understand the part about wanting to play DnD with strangers online even for free (not for me!), but if you're having a good time then $20 for 4 hours is pretty cheap. That's less than the sandwich I had for lunch today and that only took 4 minutes to eat

I had not heard of Galder's Tower before, I see no problem with it other than I'm not sure if I'd allow the sourcebook (no one's ever asked). It's the same level as Tiny Hut and worse in just about every way. It's a big visible building that draws attention, and it's made of real materials...

Biggest ones for new 5e players would be Critical Role, Dimension 20, World of Warcraft, Baldur's Gate III, Skyrim, Minecraft, Pokemon Tied for last on the list would be every book

Of course the reason can purely be because campaigns fall apart before they reach high level. High level play is really fun but not really if you just start off there. Just because you technically could start watching a movie at the end doesn't mean that people "dislike movie endings"...

In my experience the only reason high level DnD isn't played very often is that groups fall apart due to other obligations (not due to the poll options of losing interest and wanting to start over). Any time I have actually gotten to play high level DnD it has been awesome. It's just a rare...

Agreed, there are 3 components to his claim and I dispute the other two. Wealth increases with Age, ok sure I'll bet that's true. Dollars spent increases with Wealth, debatable. Prospensity to prefer older DnD editions increases with Age, I disagree without evidence

Yeah of course DnD Cruises are a thing. D20 Cruise and D3atSea are the two main ones I've seen. There's also DnD in a Castle which looks freakin awesome.

It should be trivial to find a citation that Wealth increases with Age (I think up to ~60-70, as folks generally start hitting retirement). Doing some quick searching into citations for Money Spent on Hobbies vs Age, everything I found did NOT support the OP's claim, and rather showed that...

As much as I would pay any amount of money for WotC to invent a way for my DnD groups to stop falling apart due to people having other obligations, I'm not sure that's a reasonable ask

I actually prefer Theater of the Mind but then I also love 3D-printing and spend more time printing and painting minis than I do playing DnD so that makes me vote for playing with Miniatures. If there was a way to combine TotM with minis I'd vote for that

Give out less gold, reduce prices of magic items. It's that easy. See: Baldur's Gate 3

You cannot make the beast attack twice in one turn because it only has one action, and both ways to command it to use Beast Strike require it to use its action. There is no clause to state this because it does not need to be specified that the beast only gets one action, just like everything in...

None of that text states that the melee weapon stops being a melee weapon when you use it for a ranged attack using its thrown property. You can use divine smite because it is still a melee weapon despite being used in a ranged attack

The exact number doesn't really matter - either way, extra spell slots don't let you do anything you can't already do, just let's you extend your resources further. More resources are nice but I'd rather have an ability that lets me actually do something new (assuming it's interesting and/or...
