I'd like to see varying quality of a bag of holding.

Which is why hyper-focus doesn't work out in practice unless the party is huge and then the game is easy anyway.

The thing with D&D is that optimal characters can handle many different types of challenges. People hyper-focusing their character for "optimization" are accomplishing the opposite. What usually ends up happening in conversations is both that the DM must cater encounters to be weak against...

I would add to this that the DM can't possibly know what it is like to be the NPC and how they will react to these situations. Maybe the NPC is used to dealing with highly charismatic and influential people and sees right through them. The DM can have that as a note but won't have the life...

That just isn't true.

AL games make up a tiny amount of the player population though. Those same players are more likely to be posting on forums so it probably seems higher. I agree about the online implementation though, it will probably be more difficult to have more options there.

They get a bonus melee attack but their main thing is still spell casting. They are only weak if you forget about their spellcasting and try to be a brawler. Otherwise they just get really good improvements to their bardic inspiration and AC.

How much does a person weigh in space? For us weight is a measurement of the Earth's force of gravity pulling on us towards the Earth. Fun fact: Your weight will change depending both on how close you are to the equator and how high above sea level you are.

Sounds like what they do in my favourite fantasy series 'The Wandering Inn'. Whenever an enchanted item is found they take it to an enchanter to find out its properties and how good the enchantment is. The question of making it is usually 'that knowledge is lost to us' or 'you would need a...

I can see the issue with this style of play. I suppose I would invite you to see it as an opportunity to get into the perspective of someone in the world. A magic item could well be worth 500GP to one person, 1000GP to another, and 5000GP to yet another. In the end they're all...

I also thought it was pretty clear they were being cheeky so I responded in kind.

I could see something that is the equivalent to a quiver of holding but I don't think they would make it endless because of the shenanigans that would ensue.

I think, technically speaking, nothing can have infinite weight because weight depends on the force of gravity on the object and at some point it becomes the centre of the force of gravity and then weighs nothing.

It took, I think, 6 months for my 3e players to stop saying they are making rolls when we switched to 5e. I put it this way to them: Just say what you are doing and most of the time you will succeed without even making a roll. If you roll all the time then you're just going to fail more. I've...

Yeah, for me it wasn't mimicking the voice, it was the feat implying that the NPC automatically gets a chance to tell. There should be a good reason for the NPC to be making the check. Same applies to Kenku.

The chassis of 5e is in a good place for me. No rolls unless the outcome is in doubt, there is a consequence for failure, and it is interesting. For me, I think of 3e when thinking of rules going too far. I'm not sure about 2024 yet. Certainly there is an expansion of character creation and...

I don't follow.

I'm pretty satisfied with what is core. Blade singer would need to be reimagined as it is too powerful and dance bard fills the archetype well. War mage is uninteresting to me. It has similar issues to fighter subclasses not having flavour. Order of scribes is an interesting thought but I...

I believe in 2014 an "attack" was defined by being an attack roll but now it is not as clear Though under "attack" it still says make an attack roll with a weapon or unarmed strike. Then under unarmed strike it gives 3 options and 2 aren't attack rolls so yeah could be more clear. The main...

You don't make an attack roll if you grapple or shove. The opponent just makes the save.
