I can tell a lot of people here have never been shot at or had dealings with REAL people from these troubled parts of the world. Also all of the non-Americans here apparently have masters degrees on all things relating to the USA. Maybe the next time a war rolls around in your backyard America...

Because banning or restricting something really makes it impossible for people to obtain said things. Tell me how well that has worked out for the people in Paris. You know what stops a bad guy with a gun? A good guy with a gun. Not laws taking away their guns, because people will still get them...

As a veteran and a Texan, I do not feel we should allow any "refugees" in when we have tons of homeless civilians and even worse, homeless veterans living on the streets with very little support. These people fought for their country and are living on the streets, meanwhile we're giving handouts...

It's a lot easier to hold a "2 handed" weapon in one hand than it is to try and hold two regular weapons in the same hand or a sword in a hand that's supposed to be holding a shield strap... Saying you can't hold a great sword in one hand while waving the other around is like saying it's...

PHB errata and also a long time asked question that's been addressed in prior editions. 5E PHB Errata Two-Handed (p. 147). This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it. I own a few "two handed" swords and it's not hard to maintain the weapon in...

I asked. The answer was in response to my question of - Are attacks allowed outside of initiative combat? Is initiative rolled before or after an attack is declared? Forum debate.

I know it's easy to house rule, but I wish D&D point buy started with base scores of 10 like PF rather than 8 :-P

The table I'm referring to basically broke it and said, for example, INT 1-3 animal intelligence, not capable of speech, INT 4-7 capable of speech but retarded/slow, INT 8-10 normal functioning intelligence, etc. I really wish I could recall where I saw it. I know at least in PF INT scores were...

Wasn't there a table in previous editions that explained the various score ranges of intelligence and what you could expect from each range? Perhaps it was in Pathfinder? I'm pretty sure I've seen it somewhere. I'm at work right now otherwise I would just look for myself...

Has anyone tried asking one of the Wizards crew via Twitter? Some clarification would be very insightful. I don't use Twitter otherwise I would ask.

Mexico is even worse. They have butt loads of shameless knock offs. Things similar to this...

I can see it both ways. It's been about 6 months since I've played due to moving back to America from Europe, and now that I think about it I think our play falls somewhere in the middle where I totally remember someone declaring something like "I unsheath my sword and go to swing at the ____"...

Saying you 'want' to attack works better at my table. When a player has their mind decided to start combat they tell me they want to initiate combat or they 'want' to attack. Then we determine any surprises and then roll initiative. That way you go from narrative to combat and you avoid any...

I see where our breakdown happened, at least part of it. Your quote and response didn't specify which term, LOH or Paladin, you were referring to out of what you quoted and I thought you were talking about the term Paladin. So I'll apologize for the confusion on my part and I will agree with you...

1.) It's not an attack, it's my opinion. 2.) Just because you post something in a forum doesn't make it true. This is obviously going nowhere. So if you're fine with role playing your characters broken down Barney style then by all means.

I don't see the term Paladin or any variant of it when I google this verse. Anyways, Lay on Hands was just an example. Action Surge, Cunning Action, Reckless Attack, Uncanny dodge, etc. My point is a lot of abilities sounds stupid if you try to explain them by name only in character, unless...

It's from the 12 Peers in Charlemagne's court, which doesn't exist in D&D. It's not a very broad term, its quite specific. Anyways, people can just run their game with as much or as little cheese as they want. I think at this point it's really just a matter of preference and I don't want to...

Reading your post before this one, it seems we're actually on the same page. When you said he IS attacking you made it sound like he's doing it on the spot without rolling any initiative first, therefore outside combat. But you declared the attack, then rolled init, and then acted according to...

Basically you're saying initiative is rolled AFTER the attack that starts the combat? So basically you're handing out free attacks to the Assassin outside of combat? So hypothetically speaking he could attack, roll initiative and beat everyone and attack again before the target can do anything...
