    Why do D&D players put such an emphasis on rules and tactics?

    Because we just plowed through practically half a dozen iterations of D&D that put a heavy emphasis on positioning and inch by inch movement. It's going to be in the group psyche for a while. 2.5 (if the group used Combat and Tactics) 3.0 3.5 3.75 {Pathfinder] 4.0 4.Essentials

    D&D 5E (2014) Shield Mastery Feat

    Sure looks to me the attack of the attack action occurs when the action is taken rather than the attack action enabling you to take an attack on some part of your turn. One doesn't have the bonus shove until after that. And it looks like 2 weapon fighting works the same way.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    I'll take the 4d10 damage over not being able to break out of the stun! When my PC's skull explodes, at least there will be no question whether I should make another character or go order take out.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    So what does the Mind Flayer 's Mind blast do this time around? 1e was Chartastic, 2e to 3e was "Sit there and Suck" and I can't recall what 4 did to it.

    D&D 5E (2014) What would be useful on a 11"x17" character sheet?

    What would be useful on a 11"x17" character sheet for D&D 5th edition? Not seeing (m)any really big sheets, so I'm trying to brainstorm what would be useful to have if there was some extra space was available on a sheet.

    D&D 5E (2014) Some spells _really_ powerful?

    DM needs to be on the players to take their actions or skip them. Lollygagging, looking stuff up and talking tactics have to be quashed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Heavy Armour for Life Domain?

    You get a casualty off the ground, you are now the primary target!

    D&D 5E (2014) Was there a mistake with the sorcerer weapons? (sorcerer and simple weapons)

    Agree, i'd treat the option to posses a weapon they are not specifically granted proficiency for is the error. They are definitely full casters now.

    D&D 5E (2014) now that FR is the generic setting, is darksun also by extension?

    I'd say as 'default' as it was in the 2E Planescape era. The setting's remoteness and difficulty to access keep knowledge of it a very rare bit of info. Getting there probably will necessitate finding a portal to there on an outer plane or a well worded wish; though a poorly worded wish might...

    D&D 5E (2014) Glyph of Warding: Gain 2 concentration spells at once

    First part of the spell covers that. Can't speak for other folks, but I'd rule the glyph never triggers if the effect won't be harmful.

    D&D 5E (2014) What effect on CR if I keep my giants Large instead of Huge?

    Well, the giant miniatures for 5E look like they are still on 2" bases. Also there is no rule you can't just use the old minis and just say they are taller than the figure. This isn't a WYSIWYG wargame. Personally I like giants to be the size of Action figures. 3" base

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your preferred "Splat Frequency"?

    None. Put it in the base game or put it in the next edition / N.5 revision. I am DONE with power creep.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Monster Preview: Bulette

    And yet one more reason not to play a halfling. Good to see the game unafraid to screw someone over for arbitrary factors.:] No, I'm not picking on you, this monster loves to eat halflings. Low Charisma makes it easier to Confuse if the spell uses the same save as an umberhulk's eyes.

    D&D 5E (2014) I have something... THE TARRASQUE!

    It's extra actions are presented in a gamist way because it is a game and this game assumes a party of about 4 adventurers. If not enough characters are around nobody except a barracks room rules lawyer will balk if the DM decides it gets it's untaken legendary actions after all other present...
