I'm now really hoping there will be playable hobgoblins. I really want to make a hobgoblin Ironshadow for a character when I'm not a perma DM.

Sounds fun. Personally, after seeing the Hobgoblin Iron shadow preview, I now really want hobgoblin stats, even more than before.

The book describes the lizardfolk as emotionless; I believe "overly pragmatic" is a more apt description.

This is posted on the 5e forum, so I would assume 5e... As for myself, I am perma DM, so my own results may not matter so much, but currently my game is an AL game, so currently official only. However, once I get my next game (West Marches style) rolling, I am looking into setting it up with...

We never established what class Zod is, did we? For all we know, he's a cleric, and could have Create food and Water prepared. He'll be very angry, but he wouldn't be starved.

Eldritch Blast is a "Cast a Spell" action, not an "Attack" action. Thirsting Blade is Pact of the Blade only. The only thing the wording is compatible with is the Extra Attack feature from multiclassing into a fighter/barbarian/Paladin/Ranger/etc. It does not technically lift the stipulation...

Fair enough. I can agree that a beholder is probably going to have lots and lots of thralls doing its bidding, especially when on the surface, so being alone is unlikely. I wouldn't think it that answer is exclusively aerial or underground. Most likely, the tunnels in its lair are carved in...

The only problem with that solution is not in its efficacy (I would also add some extra support to keep it from simply dying), but rather it feels a little too simple an answer. "Add more monsters" is almost always valid, but sometimes it's good to ponder "What would a beholder do if it were...

Oh I know, but these white room analysises are pretty enjoyable, even if realistically the lair's going to do a good job of covering a beholder's attempt to keep away from the party (As I try to note when the beholder attempts to hide and wait it out).

Yes, I half note that calculating the full range gives the wizard more of an edge (I will admit I glossed it over more than I meant to). However, that wizard crossbow isn't going to do the job. The beholder can fly out of lightning bolt range quickly enough, and after that the wizard's doing a...

I would argue (1) does not apply. The spells says things "cannot see through" it, rather than "cannot see into it," and even the latest wave of errata has not touched the darkness spell specifically, though it has touched on darkness generally. Unless we can find a Sage Advice ruling that says...

I think the idea is that if the beholder uses its antimagic to affect the darkness, then it can't eye beam into the party, but if it turns off its antimagic, then the darkness reappears to prevent it from eyebeaming the party.

My mistake. I was under the impression you dropped it on top of the beholder. Still, you've now basically forced disadvantage on everyone but the warlock, and the beholder can still just... float away to fight another day. Or, the beholder can hide, forcing the players to guess where it is, and...

Unless you've got some schmuck keeping in melee/grappling the beholder (which isn't the worst idea, as the Bite isn't that great of a fallback attack, especially at disadvantage) the beholder can just... float out of the darkness. Remember its movement speed is larger than the radius of the...

Alright, thinking about it more, here's what you do: The MM entry says that antimagic affects it own eye rays, right? (I really think it shouldn't, but that's irrelevant) It says nothing about affecting another beholder's eye rays. Therefore, what you do is get multiple beholders, standing back...

Resistance doesn't stack. Your tiefling should've only gotten 25%. EDIT: Really? Why would they do that to the eye beams?

1. Nope. Things get in. Nothing gets out. 2. Up to your DM, but be forewarned: They aren't necessarily going to let you get away with that plan Scott free.

Man, the unwritten rules are so good, but they're so hard to teach to new players.

Right, thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to ask you again on these matters if I ever need to use practical tactics against my group. That roguesinger sounds fun. If it wasn't for my own attachment to the flavour of the warlock pacts, I'd almost certainly dump my roguelock for one of those.
