    D&D Reader App Coming This Fall? [UPDATED]

    I have accepted it. Accepting it involves mocking them. I am sure they have long since accepted that.

    D&D Reader App Coming This Fall? [UPDATED]

    Wow, I'm impressed. At a cost of multiple years of delays and tens of thousands of dollars, they've made a thing that doesn't remotely address any of my reasons for wanting PDFs. That's brilliant!

    UA: New Race Options, Eladrin and Gith

    I've been doing this since the late 80s and... yeah, still sometimes a bit shocked.

    D&D 5E (2014) Major Image (Spell): When should a creature use its action to examine something that it believes is real?

    I think your assumption that no one would ever investigate a real thing is wrong. Even in our world, where mirages are fairly rare and specialized, people absolutely investigate things they think they see but which seem weird to them in some way, or which aren't expected, or which look like they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Multiclass Question: Does a Swashbuckler's Fancy Footwork & Druid's Wild Shape work together?

    I'd probably let you use it with any wild shape form that had feet. :P

    D&D 5E (2014) Are You Planning on Subscribing to D&D Beyond

    But the PDF is searchable, and thus actually better for me than a physical book. And maybe you'd get more value out of it, but basically, I'm just not interested in a service-based approach to my games. I like buying games and then having them. And the things DDB does may or may not even...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are You Planning on Subscribing to D&D Beyond

    I don't have high confidence in the future availability of subscription-based services. Consider, if you will: I look things up in my 1st Edition and BECMI books sometimes. I have D&D books I've owned for >25 years. I am pretty sure that, if I'm still alive in 25 years, I'll have a way to read...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are You Planning on Subscribing to D&D Beyond

    I would absolutely buy PDFs of the books. I am not willing to pay for a subscription-based service, because a service can be turned off and taken away later. If they made a commitment that, say, if the service is ever shut down, you get some form of downloadable version of the thing that you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are You Planning on Subscribing to D&D Beyond

    I don't consider "I can't see this content except by seeing ads next to it" to be a kind of "I have purchased this content".

    D&D 5E (2014) Are You Planning on Subscribing to D&D Beyond

    I... don't think so. I'd buy PDFs. I'm not inclined to subscription services for books.

    D&D 5E (2014) Resting and the frikkin' Elephant in the Room

    Yeah, it's like how much it's sucked for Apple going from being pretty much the primary provider of computers (Apple II or so era) to elementary schools to a smallish share of the computers-in-schools market. Clearly, the most important thing is to try to make a thing absolutely everyone likes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Shadow step out of a grapple?

    Yes, and I thought this was obvious, but there were a significant number of people asserting that nothing says you can see through an invisible thing, only that you can't see the thing anymore.

    D&D 5E (2014) Shadow step out of a grapple?

    I haven't seen consensus form on most such things. Heck, I don't think we actually reached *consensus* on whether you can see through an invisible door in 3.x.

    D&D 5E (2014) Shadow step out of a grapple?

    I would have thought that once. Then I saw a large debate on the Pathfinder forums over whether or not you could grapple someone in gaseous form.

    D&D 5E (2014) Illustration of red dragon fighting with a fighter

    that's beautiful also i happen to be in need of a picture of a heavily armored person being breathed-fire-on by a red dragon, any objections to me stealing it for a game?

    Multiclassing Fix?

    The initial version is INSANELY overpowered. There's 12 classes in the PHB. Buying one level in each of the classes other than your starting class is 3,300XP, which gets you a total of 12 hit dice. So a single-classed character is a fraction of the way through level 4, giving them four hit dice...

    D&D 5E (2014) Divine smite and ring of spell storing

    In a PF game, my wizard always used to have the bard toss Glibness into a ring of spell storing. Mouse: Hey, Summer. Toss a Glibness in this ring for me? Summer: [casts spell] Here you go. Mouse: [puts on ring]. [activates ring.] Hey, Summer. Toss a Glibness in this ring for me? Summer: Didn't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Divine smite and ring of spell storing

    The question isn't "can divine smite be stored". It's "can divine smite, which is not a spell at all, but which consumes a spell slot for power, consume a spell that was stored in a ring of spell storing". I think my answer would be "no" because the ring is not storing a generic-slot, but...

    D&D 5E (2014) Divine smite and ring of spell storing

    That's not the question. The question isn't "can you use the ring to cast divine smite". Obviously, divine smite isn't a spell. But if the ring can cast a spell, that looks a lot like it has a spell slot containing a spell. And the non-spell Divine Smite ability allows you to use spell slots...
