    D&D 5E (2014) Question about moving and attacking

    You are free to disagree... but the rules state "you can move 10 feet, take your action, and then move 20 feet." So the *rules* state that you "move 10'" and then you "move 20'" So that is two separate 'moves'. You have created the idea of a 'partial move' or a 'portion of a move', but none...

    D&D 5E (2014) Gencon release?

    Those two statements do not necessarily equate. They have never said they will only release a book that directly ties in with a storyline. There may be somewhat of a tie-in, but a campaign book, or a psionics book, etc. are all viable possibilities.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rogue's Cunning action: Double dash, etc.

    The issue is not the actual speed, but the Relative speed. the PCs see the enemy across the field, the Ranger in leather armor and the Rogue in leather armor both try and get into melee range. For whatever reason...the Rogue can cover 50% more ground every round. To me, like a lot of things...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the "Friends" cantrip need a fix?

    I disagree with your premise. Aside from damage cantrips (and even some of those) most cantrips are niche spells. Or of very limiited potential benefit.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about moving and attacking

    Move 10' attack move 20' In the above, there is not a 30' move, there are two moves. A 10' move, and a 15' move. (This is stated on p.190 Breaking up Your Move) The rules say you may not "end your move" in another creatures space (p.191). It does *not* say "end your turn".... but your move...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving a magic dagger to a sprite familiar?

    I would have the warlock 'bond' the weapon to his familiar....which requires some specific materials...which requires him to go on a quest....

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the "Friends" cantrip need a fix?

    When I started playing 5E, I thought Freinds was horrible and would never take it. As I played by first two characters, I kept coming across situations where I thought "This would be a great time for Friends.... " As I made my third PC, I took Friends. (He is knew, haven't used him yet) There...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the "Friends" cantrip need a fix?

    Yep, in general 2nd level spells will always be more powerful than an at-will cantrip... But not all captured enemies will be hostile, it depends on who they are, how they got captured, and how they are being treated.

    D&D 5E (2014) Newbie quesiton about trance

    Play it however you want. But don't blame it on the book. It is written the way it is supposed to work. I can understand potential confusion, but it is correct as written.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why such little content (books) for Dnd 5e?

    What you are saying requires two things to be true: 1) Additional supplements will not be profitable (or else that evil profits-are-everything company Hasbro would insist on more supplements.) 2) A smaller operation will not care about making a profit and will put out those supplements anyway...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the "Friends" cantrip need a fix?

    I think its fine the way it is. Its a cantrip, not a 2nd level spell. It gives you a full minute to get the info you need, just be a bit careful about when you use the spell. There are certain situations where it is just way awesome.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about moving and attacking

    Still not sure what you are asking. But... Any class can move up to its speed, and take an action, on the same turn. They are free to break up their movement however they want. A 5th level fighter with Polearm master could move 5' attack action, attack once move 10' Bonus action, polearm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why such little content (books) for Dnd 5e?

    Okay, could you please tell me which one of those sources said: 1) DnD is on a respirator, but might as well be stillborn 2) DnD RPG is not profitable by itself 3) The RPG is only kept "barely" alive 4) The RPG is only kept alive to give authenticity to the other products. Or anything to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bards: How did these become a thing?

    That is one small woman, standing still playing the violin. She barely even moves her feet. The gist of the video is lots of editting cuts in different places and different angles. She could have done the same performance on any small stage in the world.

    D&D 5E (2014) In your opinion, what is the most underrated spell in the PHB and why?

    Yeah, I just noticed that Feather Fall can be cast on multiple targets at once... much more handy now. Great way for the entire party to get down a cliff face or out of a castle tower....

    D&D 5E (2014) Why such little content (books) for Dnd 5e?

    Wow.... a lot of speculative drivel with no real world basis.... DnD is *more* than just an RPG. DnD is *also* now a brand. (Which has been true for a long time actually.....) Many people don't want an endless font of crunch books coming out..... WotC has decided to go with that business...

    D&D 5E (2014) In your opinion, what is the most underrated spell in the PHB and why?

    Heat Metal. Its pretty much an auto-win against anything wearing armor. An extra 2D8 damage per round, and disadv on all attacks.... and no saves...

    D&D 5E (2014) Champion Fighter level 11 only one shot with crossbow?

    thats cool. I don't think it was intended, and I don't like it for other reasons.... but that doesn't mean I think you shouldn't do it if you and your table think its fun. Hmmm.... I think it may be the opposite. A larger shield allows you to hide behind it and doesn't need you to move it as...
