    How to cure a vampire?

    No, there doesn't need to be a way to cure D&D vampirism beyond stake & bake. In D&D you don't become a vampire until you are already dead. Removing the vampirism would return the being to being a proper corpse or possibly a pile of ash. D&D already has ways to revive the dead.

    D&D 5E (2014) My Players Didn't Like 5e :( Help Me Get Them Into It!!

    Damn right. If they like the system so much, let them run it. Better no game than a game you don't want to run.

    Death - should the departed's family have an intrinsic right to the body?

    Oh yes, this topic is a potential nuke. It pits political ideologies, religious beliefs and family tragedies head to head in a manner that could give a Pachycephalosaurus a migraine.

    Death -- a religious institution?

    well, make sure your NoK agrees with you if you feel strongly about it. Chances are that will be months if not years after most folks have come to terms with the loss. Forking thread...

    Death - should the departed's family have an intrinsic right to the body?

    Death - should the departed's family have an intrinsic right to the body? Should governments tell families, "Sorry, their rights end when they do, living people need these organs." After all, one can't refuse an autopsy on religious grounds IIRC, how much more difference does it make if the...

    OotS 992

    All that magical power to make a temporary hall and they begrudge a regeneration spell for a poor worshipper? :):):):) those gods, tear down their pantheons and feed them all to the Snarl.

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Mouth visual trigger & invisibility

    I'd treat the magic mouth as 'seeing' anyone that can be seen, IE not invisible, not behind total cover.

    D&D 5E (2014) Theatre of the Mind or Miniatures?

    Mostly minis with a sprinkling of TotM for simpler encounters or ones where the scope is too great for 28mm figs or the meta of having minis on the table would make things worse. Like last week when my players made a successful mad dash through the 5.Outer courtyard, 6. Entryway of Fire, 12...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hypnotic Pattern

    You just need to explain to them that "Incapacitated" doesn't mean what they think it does. The incapacitated condition just prevents the target from taking actions and reactions, they still have all other defences, no bonuses are granted to attack them and so there is no reason they should be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disengage Action

    It is less what OA says, it is just that a normal Grapple has to be triggered through the attack action, not just a mere attack. I don't think normal characters can grapple off of an OA in 5E or 4E. That hasn't worked since the 3.5E AKA Grapplers and Grabasses. Now if a monster has a melee...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disengage Action

    In my game, if the foes outnumber the dodger, that's what the underlings do usually. Oh no, one can't normally grapple on a OA.

    D&D 5E (2014) Disengage Action

    Dodge ends if the dodger gets grappled. If someone is trying to get foes to expend their reactions, dodging can be helpful, but relying on it ain't so hot.

    D&D 5E (2014) Disengage Action

    There are some combat options to pass through a foe's space as difficult terrain by spending a bonus action and winning an opposed roll.

    They are a common treasure so sayeth the DMG.

    D&D 5E (2014) Astral Projection

    Sounds like the Astra spell got "Fixed" by the PHB and the DMG details are now erroneous. Nothing about a freebie body in the spell anymore it sounds like. Another monster that is a Silver Cord Cutter is the Astral Dreadnought. Meant to be published in the Manual of the Planes with it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) After grabbing a ledge and climbing up, are you also then standing from prone?

    After jumping up to grab a ledge and climbing up, are you also then standing from prone (costing you half a move's worth of movement)? 1 square = 1 foot
