Yes, I’m thinking 24” to 30” tall on average. In 5E they’d be tiny just like the monsters.

I don't know if they've ever been in an official book as a player option, but I think pixies and sprites are missing from the editions with which I'm familiar.

It means "having the wisdom of an elf". I.e. being wise as an elf is wise. Eta: It presupposes such a thing as elven-wisdom such that one can be said to be elven-wise.

I don't recall ever having visited The Thain's Book, so thanks for providing your source, but I'm curious, what do you mean by "no longer canon"?

"We've been through the gianks' kitchen already," Bible says nodding at the doors to the west, "and we know the way to the chief's hall from there and that it's somewhere to the south of us." Bible scans the top of the chimney to see any signs of a fire down below. "That could lead us...

@VLAD the Destroyer, I believe there's still a young giant on fire heading for the door to the kitchen.

I don't think 2014 PC races are given language proficiencies to make them vulnerable to spells like command and suggestion. I believe language proficiencies are generally intended as an asset out of which the player should be free to opt rather than a liability to be enforced. I also think it's...

So, really? You think a player of a 2014 dwarf PC who says their character doesn't understand Dwarvish is breaking a rule?!

Are you saying it's impossible under the 2014 rules to play a dwarf that doesn't understand Dwarvish? I don't think that's a correct statement for the same reasons I've already expressed about the alleged impossibility of playing a dwarf without having your dwarf speak Dwarvish. According to the...

The character was described as speaking, and last I checked the rules, the player is in control of what the character does.

No, this is what you described: If it says "proficient in Dwarven" on the PC's character sheet, but the PC never speaks Dwarven in the game, then the PC is not speaking Dwarven. If it says "proficient with light hammers and warhammers" on the PC's character sheet, but the PC never wields one of...

This is false. There is no requirement for your dwarf PC to ever utter a word of Dwarven. That weapon list is redundant. Very few characters would ever use all of them, which shows you don't have to use any of them. Which doesn't prevent your PC from having a low Constitution, Strength, or...

This is what you said: Assuming you're in control of creating and playing your character, how do any of the rules you've quoted above prevent you from putting low scores in Strength, Constitution, and Charisma or however you want to model being skinny and nerdy and what compels you to portray...

This seems like an intentional misunderstanding of the 2014 rules. I mean, what about them suggests there couldn't be a dwarf like that?

The body of Mariano Isacama Feliciano, leader of the Kakataibo community in Peru, was found Sunday with signs of torture after being missing for over three weeks.

Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, civil rights activist, scholar, and musician who started the vocal ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock and co-founded the Freedom Singers and the Harambee Singers, died Tuesday at the age of 81.

Peter Buxtun, the U.S. government whistleblower who exposed the Tuskegee syphilis study, has died at 86.

Right, you don't have to be able to see the target. It could be dark, for example, even though there's a clear path. Yes, I think calling it a day is the correct response to that podcast. He's just incorrect on a number of points I've already gone over, but there's really no contradiction in...

My preference is for religion to be mostly invisible, like it is in Tolkien's legendarium in which, for example, there are presumably people who believe in Eru, but there are almost no churches or temples to speak of, and you hardly ever see anyone worshipping him. In practice, I let the...

First, I don't think the rules of D&D are made to handle the existence of a mundane wall of bulletproof glass. Anything like that (i.e. something magical) is going to have its own rules attached to it that spell out any exceptions it has from the normal rules for the ways objects interact with...
