    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Healing Spirit is 10d6 healing to the whole party out of combat?

    A spell is as you say, part of a package, the spell lists it appears it is tied to the balance of any given spell. This is one reason Bards are so strong in this edition. I am not arguing for or against the power of this spell I am however noticing I have seen a lot of panic over the spell and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hey I need help!

    So I'm going to do you a favor and tell you the secret to the dragon fight. Listen closely... Just play it out and see what happens. Do your best and try to enjoy the experience of fighting a legendary creature of myth from your own perspective. D&D is not about whether you win or lose. You...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Healing Spirit is 10d6 healing to the whole party out of combat?

    No, I have not seen it in play. I have played several games with players who had access to it and no one has chosen to cast it. Thats is why I am asking for examples of it in play. I would really like to know if it had a positive or negative effect on play. In my own games it has been a non...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hey I need help!

    Dragon: Limit it's mobility. Limit how many people it can get in its breath. If you are a spellcaster use good spells to use up its legendary resists, saving your best spell for after it is out of resists. Reduce its HP to zero (do not be underneath it when this happens).

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Healing Spirit is 10d6 healing to the whole party out of combat?

    I'm not saying the spell isn't effective. I am asking if you have ever seen it actually used, and if so do you feel it was unbalanced when actually seen in play. Theory and actual play are very different.

    D&D 5E (2014) I have the worst Paladin ever!

    I'm pretty sure you are the villain of the story. You are the Sheriff of Nottingham of your campaign world.

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Healing Spirit is 10d6 healing to the whole party out of combat?

    I am really curious, has anyone actually had this spell used in their game and had it break something? I see a lot of people saying how broken this is in theory but I have never seen an example of it in play. This spell and a few others keep getting attention, but its all been in theory so far.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D movie, take note...

    The problem with doing a Drizzt movie is it would be seen as a copy of lord of the rings, you have an allegory for Legolas, Gimly, Frodo and the female elf character they added, (sorryr dont remember name and not in a hurry to look it up.) It is basically a remake of Peter Jacksons films. For...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Player gain an advantage from a Passive Skill that required no effort or cost?

    If anything, I think its not as strong as the other available options. The additional spell list can vary this greatly, Paladin subclasses are balanced along 3 different axis, Channel Divinity, Expanded Spell List, and Auras. Without knowing the other two, its hard to compare the overall balance...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Sorcerer combination

    Not until level 18. This is because wild shape simply says you cannot cast spells in wildshape. Thats is only changed by the level 18 ability. Druid has the best capstone ability in the game so if you expect to reach level 20 I highly recommend going full druid.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Player gain an advantage from a Passive Skill that required no effort or cost?

    This actually is one of those cases where it seems reasonable. most of those abilities are not as strong as existing options given to the paladin and are stronger for a cleric than a paladin because of how other class features work with them. Casting spells through the duplicate for example is...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D movie, take note...

    The only good D&D movie would be barely recognizable as a D&D movie. It would be a fantasy film that borrows some broad ideas from D&D concepts but ultimately would stand on its own even if D&D didnt exist.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Grappling Cleric?

    Oh I didnt know about the reverse grappling rules, do you know what page they are on? I want to check them out. Our group made some house rules for that but I would love to know the wotc version.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Grappling Cleric?

    Will is my DM who started making some monsters huge or gargantuan beyond theirn normal size to prevent me from grappling them. He once describes a dragon as being super fat because it sat on its hoard all day while servants brought it cows to eat. Then whe I found a way to grapple the gargantuan...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Grappling Cleric?

    Grappling is a matter of action economy. Most grappling builds need 2 or more attacks under the attack action in order to convert those attacks into a crapple and then follow up with a shove to prone the target. They then try for either advantage or expertise on the athletics roll, or some other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mental prison; power creep, typo or working as intended

    Personally, I view the secondary effect of the spell as either 10d10 or blind/restrained. You will generally not be able to take advantage of both. I compare the spell to other similar effects. Irrisistable dance, no save takes an action to try and save. Hold Monster, save every turn but all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mental prison; power creep, typo or working as intended

    Please tell me about your in game experience with this spell and how it was broken. I would love some real play experience to support your "snark". Tell me how 27.5 damage and blind/restrained on a failed save vs. a 6th level spell broke your game? its a strong spell no doubt but anything above...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mental prison; power creep, typo or working as intended

    The hexblade abilitites are more course correction than power creep. Unless you short rest every single combat the hext is very limited and even then only on one target per fight. It will not apply to the vast majority of your targets. As far as the armor proficiency this is a course...
