This was pointed out by @Inanity: The Swiftstride Shifter in the Eberron book gets the shifting feature: As written, you can take the reaction at the end of each of your own turns, since you are a creature within 5 feet of yourself. Do you think this is intended, or a wording error? For...

Well if you are allowing weapon properties and class variations, you might get something like this: - Divide classes into martial and non-martial - For martial classes, there are four weapon classes with different damage dice: Heavy: 1d12 Reach: 1d10 1H: 1d8 Light/finesse: 1d6 - Non-martial...

I think it is fair to say you found a glitch in the rules; I agree that there is a reasonable argument that, as written, it triggers at the end of your own turn. However, I am 100% confident that was not the designer's intention and, and I'm really pretty sure that most people would not take...

Precisely. If the DM established that this was indeed how cleave worked, then why wouldn’t all the fighters of that world be aware of it and take advantage? Now whether you want the ability to work like that is another question.

Dang, this is almost something useful you could do with the feign death spell. If you could just get the duration up to 24 hours somehow, you could use it to put the chickens in suspended animation.

I'm not sure that agrees with my experience, but you could be right. But all I'm offering here is my personal opinion. When I'm making a character I like to consider the tradeoffs that different weapons offer.

Sorry, not sure I understand what you ask here. In the regular rules, of course, there would be reasons to pick one over another (am I using Str vs Dex? Shield or TWF? Do I want a weapon I can throw?). Or are you asking why I think weapon choice should be more meaningful? I just think it is...

Because having different weapons gives you a mechanically meaningful choice point for character design. If every weapon is an undifferentiated d6, then there's no real point for me in picking a weapon. It basically becomes just part of drawing your character profile, which is not for me a very...

Sounds really boring to me.

OK then, here I present my exhaustively researched compilation of reasons you might dislike the chicken-hex exploit: 1. A background creature like a chicken is not a suitable target for a combat-oriented spell like hex. 2. You can't just take multiple rests in a row without doing something...

Well what else are you going to keep in your portable hole? Ooh, or its a great use for a demiplane.

I will admit that all my thinking on this has been in the context of doing it before venturing into a dangerous ruin. If your main issue is the idea of a warlock going to this trouble every day, regardless of circumstance, then I understand. But does that mean you're comfortable with a warlock...

A powerful NPC warlock might indeed face constant interruptions from pesky adventurers. And might enjoy keeping chickens. Agreed, but I don't even see how this would come up on a day when the warlock truly isn't expecting any danger. Maybe he kills a chicken maybe not, what does it matter. Is...

darn. I get from this that the issue is that, in-game, the warlock would have to deal with hauling all these chickens around and there's no way he would think it was worth the trouble. I'll buy that, and indeed the logistics of making it a regular thing seem daunting. So it is some combination...

Well, to the point at hand: is it fair to say that your basic objection to the chicken thing is that you don't think the warlock character has sufficient in-game understanding of the hex mechanics to do something like this?

Sure that is the main thing that bugs me about it too. And my inclination would be to rule that a random chicken wouldn't qualify as a target here. But it we established that it does in fact work in our imaginary world, I wouldn't have any problem with characters taking advantage of it.

Well, I suppose that if I were playing at your table I'd need you to outline for me what my character is supposed to know about his abilities, and what he's not. Because I doubt that I would be able to guess...

I have no problem with that. If your patron is a summer fey and the DM says they wouldn't appreciate sacrificing innocent birds, then that's a legitimate point. But then maybe kill a creature of darkness like a bat or rat instead. The character, of course, is primarily concerned about activating...

Sure I agree with this. But there's quite a difference between "I just jump down the cliff for the lulz, even though there is a path right here" and "I jump down the cliff because that's the only way to get to the bottom fast enough to save the princess." It sounds like you're saying there is...
