    D&D 5E (2014) Does a sentinel attack interrupt a charge?

    Fully agree with you there! My whole table screwed this up.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does a sentinel attack interrupt a charge?

    OH, WOW, this makes Sentinel / Polearm master a LOT more balanced than I thought it was!!!

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch blast and hex as class features?

    EB not being built in can be viewed as an OBVIOUS beginner's trap, because even if you are a blade type, it is still one of the better ranged attacks available.

    Wolves and changing perceptions

    Not simply that, but it is a big factor. I'd bet many wolf supporters would sing another tune if where their kids traveled and played were oft frequented by coyotes, coywolfs and other canid vermin.

    Mario Does D&D

    The words "it's not a cult!" should never be believed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Umber Hulk and surprise

    If having a burrow speed was meant to cause an auto-surprise, I think that would have been accounted for in the CR'ing rules. Only mode of movement that affects CR is a ranged attacker which has flight before CR 10. If the DM feels a burrower happens to be in an advantageous situation, there...

    GIANTSLAYER Preview Art

    This is Pathfinder. Giants have lousy will saves and count as humanoids. Those giants don't have a chance.

    D&D 5E (2014) Power Gamers Guide to Elemental Evil Players Companion

    Does HW do less damage than a DBFireball raised to 8th level? Is the Area smaller?

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Races vs. Monsters (take away lessons on converting)

    IME 20 speed makes one feel terribly bound up, especially since run/dash is only a doubling of speed. I've seen a player with 25' lose many opportunities because of their speed. This is the way it has to be. Let those who go on about "who cares about balance, it's a ROLE-playing game" have their...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Turn Undead conundrum

    Turn undead is a sometimes power. It no longer needs to make up for the rogue not being able to sneak attack. When you don't want the skeleton horde mass assisting it's boss, Turn away. But if you want to put down a few free roaming vaporous apparitions, turning isn't a good idea. The game...

    D&D 5E (2014) hide action usability?

    Each person has to decide that for themselves. The rules are there so every can try, not to justify taking the action in the economy of actions.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dex to AC when unconscious?

    Autokill on paralyzed and sleeping targets sounds like it severely overpowers the abilities that generate those conditions. Maybe it's just my perceptions, but 5E seems to go through a lot of effort to make it hard to dogpile on an effect hindered victim as part of balance of those effects...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dex to AC when unconscious?

    Don't describe folks as utterly unmoving, even when Slept, paralyzed or dying. Just describe it as a sleeper trying to turn away from someone bothering them; someone struggling against unseen bindings or an ER patient trashing about. This lets players understand 'No, you don't just get to slit...

    D&D 5E (2014) Speed Zero and prone

    Agree that the rules for making things prone can result in situations that go from high fantasy aerial combat to undignified rocket tag.

    [UPDATED] Issues With Official D&D 5E Spell Cards?

    [UPDATED] Issues With Official D&D 5E Spell Cards?

    I'm a firm believer in no tolerance for bad customer service. Also it wasn't just one incident. Lastly buying a company does not purchase the goodwill the original company developed. Now if the CEO's message had included a statement that the person no longer worked for the company, I might...

    [UPDATED] Issues With Official D&D 5E Spell Cards?

    Agree. Their CS was making up BS and now they got called on it, they are backpedaling.

    D&D 5E (2014) Natural Armor

    Natural armor does not stack with worn armor. Otherwise armored giants would have better ACs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Stealthy Spellcasting in 5e

    Specifically the player assumed that the Verbal and Somatic components of Message were "You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. " mentioned in the spell's text.
