According to the rules as written, no. That said, it is not unheard of in various versions of fiction or mythology revolving around medusa for their victims to become unpetrofied when the medusa that turned them is slain. That said, whether or not the statues are still in one piece is the...

The trick is to remember that con isnt just used in combat. Want the "con guy" to shine? Rope the party into a drinking contest, have obstacles in the environment that call for con checks (cold/hot weather, swimming long times, mold/poisons that call for con saves), or have enemies use poisons...

In the unearthed arcana for racial feats, they originally gave dragonborn 20ft flight as a racial feat, though I dont think it made the final cut of xanathars. I still allow it as a feat in my games, and honestly, 30ft fight wouldn't be unreasonable. There is a tiefling racial variant that gets...

All good. I still think CoS is my favorite 5th ed module to date. I could also had a bit of more complication to the equation and suggest you take a look at monster hunter/slayer(?) Ranger found in Xanathar's guide of you haven't. While you'd have no cantrips and be wisdom based for casting it...

Any DM worth his salt should be able to work and adapt the game to any party. Ravenloft/Barovia as a setting is often one highly trending toward social encounters and combat not being the major focus of the game anyway. It's kind of up to the tone of whatever the DM want as though. 5th edition...

You give up tanking, but end up being better than a paladin st healing. It feels a lot like a paladin, but more "caster-y". I've seen it in practice with the player using his subclass features to heal the same way a paladin uses lay on hands, and then saving his spell slots for either healing or...

Personally I'd be perfectly fine with allowing a player to use indomitable to reroll any ability check. Thematically I've always interpreted the ability as "I'm too stubborn to fail this save" anyway, so one could make a reasonable arguement in many cases that they somehow supernaturally assert...

An alternative you could consider, if you are genuinely worried about lack of healing, is a Celestial patron warlock with pact of the blade. It may not be as optimal as a hexblade warlock, or eldritch blast spammer, but combined with green flame blade, it has got loads of flavor, the ability to...

It's sort of already been said about the pros and cons. For myself I tend to save riddles strictly for providing hints or extra information about other challenges, rather than making the riddle itself the challenge. I means that solving the riddle remains useful, but does not bring the game to a...

And I would argue from your spell selection that you have just rolled a FIRE sorcerer. See my previous post about how there are two sorcerer specs that are leaps and bounds more effective than any other. Show me how to roll a blaster build that is just as effective focused around the element of...

The Evocationist wizard begs to differ, albeit I'll concede we are mostly talking about higher levels that most tables never reach and while I'd never suggest that someone playing a wizard to blast is "doing it wrong", the class offers so much more in terms of utility and battlefield support...

I fully agree and any DM worth playing with will be open to allowing either a metamagic that changes the element, a player to pick any spell element (aka chromatic orb) for any evocation spell as a flat change, or learn alternative damage element versions of spells. This doesn't help with...

The problem is comes from several issues: First, sorcerers are presented as being masters at manipulating raw magic through metamagic that no others are supposed to be able to do yet the metamagic options are limited as the sorcerer does not get enough to not just pick the couple that are the...

Tweak it to the following: d20 - attack d12 greataxe d10 superiority die from battlemaster fighter of the required level d8 - from green flame blade cantrip (gain through a racial or spell initiate: warlock feat) d6 gain from hex (using the same feat d4 gain from either being enlarged, or...

This certainly true. The Knight Orders are basically Jedi and Sith, and the Gods (whom they serve for much of the setting) could basically be compared to the Force. They are basically handled in universe the same and I often use star wars as a good comparison to if for my players. Of course this...

As pointed out, most of the "we blew up the world" moments in Dragonlance were designed to be a meta way of updating the setting to shifting rules/editions: sorcerers, bards, etc. being added to the world via chaotic magic as an example. It should also be noted that several other settings...

The main problem with the beastmaster has always been two things that both stem from how the health of the pet is calculated. First, certain pets are just outright mechanically better options because the base monsters cr considers how much health they have while the ranger's pet does not, so...

I took a look at the subclasses listed. I find nothing that seems too powerful or weak from a cursory glance. The only real minor thing I could see offhand is the runechild sorcerer makes no mention of how long "charged runes" remain active (one would assume until the sorcerer long rests), so I...

As suggested, the cold weather gear does not negate magically cold fog. Advantage on saving throws against it may be appropriate though. Likewise, the crampons would only really give advantage on strength and dex saves vs slipping and falling from sudden movement from stuff like being shoved...

Honestly? I'd just use the aasimaar racials from volos guide or if not them then the dm's guide version. If you want eradar, just use tieflings. It's far less work for frankly very little gain. Lorewise the Draenai and Eradar are basically just the wow equivalent to Aasimaar and Tieflings...
