For the sake of argument, let's pretend the wording of the rules was better and we all agreed what the Invisibility condition is, how it gets used, and how it interacts with every spell in the book. Cool. Let's say I don't take the Hide action and I'm not Invisible. I walk through a room full...

Huh. Sure enough, there are fishing rules in Frostmaiden. Good call. (Rough summary: Each hour, DC 15 Survival to hook a fish, contested Athletics to pull it out of the water.) Edit: Ninja'd by ezo

"This is the third barbarian murder since January. I guess you could say this year, murder..." removes sunglasses "...is all the rage."

The debate about what ability score psions should use is an interesting aside, but it's actually a moot point. As the OP observed, psions already exist in the 2025 Monster Manual. Both examples are Int-based spellcasters who cast spells with no spell components. The question being raised in the...

If you enjoy writing, you can always just write for the sake of writing. If you're having fun, it doesn't really matter how many copies you sell. Heck, I don't even share most of what I write with anyone, and I still enjoy writing it. (Your mileage may vary.)

That's certainly a fair point. I don't really have an existing audience to leverage, so I'll probably sell somewhere around three copies. But I want to make sure I sell all three of those copies, not just one or two!

I'm wondering if anyone can offer some insight into the best time to release a 3pp product. Specifically, I've been writing a Forgotten Realms product for the DMsGuild in my spare time over the past few years. Life permitting, I could probably release it this summer, if not earlier. However...

So... problem solved? We can get a Psion in the next Tasha's book?

Including the nilbog from MotM could have helped justify and play up the Fey-ness of goblins. It would also provide an opportunity to fix the biggest problem with the 5e nilbog: The mechanics are designed under the assumption that all goblins in the world are monsters. An unkillable trickster...

Well, sure. It's easy to use the Psion stat blocks to create all kinds of NPCs. But that doesn't really address the OP's point about the lack of a Psion class for PCs.

They do not. Just the druid.

I'm looking at a physical copy of the book, and the Druid stat block therein has the (druid) tag.

Happily, I just got my Monster Manual, and I can say there actually is an in-world name for Elemental lizardfolk. Two, in fact: Geomancer and Sovereign. The only stat blocks that mention lizardfolk with the Elemental subtype are the Lizardfolk Geomancer stat block and the Lizardfolk Sovereign...

Is there a special, in-game name for lizardfolk who forge powerful bonds with the Elemental Plane of Earth? The description makes it sound like Humanoid lizardfolk and Elemental lizardfolk are living side-by-side in the same culture, with the latter group as a specialized variety of the former...

On a bookshelf in Limbo, the books are in a random order. On a bookshelf in the Far Realm, fish and melted candles, and the color green tells you what to think

It's even worse when you realize troglodyte literally means "cave dweller," yet some random clan of jungle-dwelling lizardfolk has a stronger connection to elemental earth than any troglodyte.

hides file containing homebrew Spelljammer-Planescape-Ravenloft mashup/reboot Nothing to see here. Carry on, folks.

Designers: "It would be cool if the Forgotten Realms had a nation with dragon-riders!" Ormpur: "We're right here. A city-state of dragon-riders for hundreds of years. A dragon's flight away from Calimshan. No? Okay, just shoe-horn some redundant tropes into Cormyr then. That's fine. We're in...

One benefit to providing Fey counterparts of certain Humanoid creatures is the addition of more verisimilitude to the default "D&D Multiverse" campaign setting mentioned in the core rules. When the setting narrative claims certain creatures have an association with the Feywild, the game...

I'd say the messaging is weaker than the mechanic. The designers chose to use, "Your PC has lost their feyness," as their messaging for the creature type change. As far as I'm concerned, that's a weak way to frame what they're doing. The designers could have instead said, "There are plenty of...
