Impressive that one person lasted 28 years at WotC without ever getting laid off.

Citation for that? AFAIK they have been in good shape financially since the success of Divinity Original Sin. Of course if BG3 had failed they would have been in trouble, but that's just the reality of independent game dev, you're always one failed game away from bankruptcy.

I don't think it's particularly rational to not consider the wider impact of one's actions.

What is the last WotC screwup you did care about?

It's obvious that D&D Beyond was not from the outset designed to support multiple versions of D&D, and I bet that anyone on the team that suggested they refactor the code to support both 5e and 5.5 during the OneD&D period would have been told to instead work on something that had immediate...

Just make them 1st level spells.

What changed is that the gaming public's response to the Sigil beta was a big fat "meh". So wotc has surely realized that the market for a 3d VTT is way smaller than they expected, and no amount of improving Sigil is going to get them a user base large enough to sustain the project financially.

You'd think the best solution would be to leave the color of the dragon up to the player.

Despite substantial functional overlap, the monk's Bonus Unarmed Strike and Flurry of Blows are two entirely separate abilities. There is no reason to assume that the armor restrictions on Bonus Unarmed Strike apply to Flurry of Blows or any other monk ability that doesn't also specifically...

Nobody likes the old PDK subclass, so by replacing it with something new and cool you erase it from the game. If 5.5 wasn't designated as backwards compatible this move wouldn't be necessary, and they could have called the new dragonrider subclass something else, but here we are.

Ask a rules question here on enworld and you'll get people confidently writing answers that are 100% wrong, followed by a 50 page debate where nobody changes their mind and that eventually veers off-topic into an argument about how WotC is destroying D&D. Dealing with chatgpt and potential...

No, to multiclass you need to fulfill the MC requirements for all your existing classes as well as the new class.

Have you read this post? Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

The premise of this novel makes me think of a new D&D group starting with each player bringing their own quirky and totally awesome character, with 5 page backstories that are full of drama and tragedy and completely devoid of anything that connects them to the other characters. The DM sighs...

RAW is clear I think, the spell targets and teleports one creature, the fact that there is another creature inside it doesn't change anything, so the druid won't be teleported along with the fish. This also means that if a wizard is holding her rat familliar inside her mouth, if she teleports...

One obvious way is that writers can now use AI to generate high-quality illustrations for their products. It's now much more feasible to publish your personal project without needing to work overtime in your day job to fund the art budget.

I googled "Kyton rule 34" and got several hits...

It feels like maybe the reason they chose the name Purple Dragon Knight for the new dragonrider subclass was that they want to make the worst designed subclass in 5e2014 obsolete forever.

That's what happens when you calibrate your Bias Detector for Neutral rather than Lawful Good. :D

It doesn't seem very likely that the githyanki, who are have gone native in the Astral Plane, would try to hatch eggs there. It would be like a farmer trying to sow wheat on a glacier.
