    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls - Reddit AMA

    Honestly, while it is cool, I don't think too many of us are surprised that there will be more subclasses. It's the most logical way to expand 5e, and with the fact that they're going to cut up the Mystic to have a more focused concept, it gives room for psionic subclasses to be added to the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls - Reddit AMA

    The only confusing ones I can think of is "when you make X action" vs "after you make X action" are different timings (as the former lets you do the bonus action before the action but the latter doesn't) and the spell one (As Action surge lets you ignore the rule, but doesn't if you cast with a...

    I think it cuts both ways. It honestly depends on how a bonus actionless game would look, but I can see a bonus actionless game adding bonus actions being well received for adding flexibility or making certain interactions more clear rather than less clear.

    I don't really agree with cutting out bonus actions. As is, bonus actions are a lot more flexible than actions that give you a sub-action. Like, how would you write a rogue's Cunning Action without it losing out on its main perk, which is flexibility? How do you keep it so that if you do have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combining LMoP, ToD, PotA & SKT

    Oddly enough I have a bit more interest weaving in PotA with SKT than ToD. After all, they both have starting locations really close to Phandalin, SKT has an entire sidebar on what the cultists might be doing working with giants, and it can help mitigate the biggest problem of Princes: you gain...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar’s Guide to Everything is the fastest-selling Dungeons & Dragons book of all time

    Honestly, while the hexblade was meant to be a patch class for the Pact of the Blade (let's be real; the hexblade exists to make Blade Pact look better), I feel like Shadow Blade does a fair bit more for the subclass by giving warlocks unafraid of TWF a really solid option for their off-hand...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humble RPG Book Bundle

    I had forgotten about the FGG incident when I bought it, but I'm still happy with my purchase, for the most part. I gave the largest portion of the purchase to the Charity.

    D&D 5E (2014) You find a magical _____, it does _____

    Bracelet of the Korred: As an action, you may pull off a length of hair. The hair may become any piece of mundane equipment less than 5 pounds, or a length of rope up to 100 feet in length. Next up: A little stone statuette of a Gelatinous Cube.

    I don't know if Adamantine is as valuable as you suppose. Adamantine weapons are only +500 GP in value, and a lot of weapons would require 2+ ingots to work with. Adamantine Armour is an "uncommon" magic item, which means that it's worth only 1d6x100 GP (likely adding the value of the armour on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Move over Fireball and Spirit Guardians, there is a new best 3rd level spell sheriff in town!

    Not who you asked, but I have one world where I don't plan on using Xanathar's Guide, but that's because I was plotting out the worldbuilding well before XGtE came out, and it was written assuming Xanathar's content doesn't exist. So rather than selectively deciding what content fits and what...

    D&D 5E (2014) No Bladesinger?

    Perhaps they didn't want to pair the bladesinger with stuff like Shadow Blade?

    D&D 5E (2014) Move over Fireball and Spirit Guardians, there is a new best 3rd level spell sheriff in town!

    Really, the crazy thing about the spell is how well it scales. It starts at one tiny servant, but you get an additional two per level. Simply by upcasting it a single level you've tripled the power of this spell.

    D&D 5E (2014) How does the Reincarnation spell actually work in practice?

    I'm reading over the spell... It doesn't specify that the stats are changed, per se. It says racial traits, which while it does include ASIs technically, but in a case like this, it gives leeway to say that "no, just because you were turned into a tiefling doesn't mean you're automatically...

    Certainly. It's not junk data, but it is pretty niche in terms of conclusions you can derive from it.
