Page. 220 of the Volo's Guide to Monsters. CR 12 NPC with legendary actions, including: and And the Survivor, level 18 Champion ability, or there about. #Helping. *gets coat*

And this day will be remembered as the day that the many stood against the few, and were triumphant!

I personally prefer to play AND DM a variant human than a regular human. The regular human benefits from odd numbers, but how many they can get. The standard array of course doesn't favour them as it only has two odd numbers. The relative value of being a standard human with rolled ability...

vs Thanks Crawford...

So... I presume the use of this is to try to use the Bonus Action shove to knock the target prone (granting Advantage on attacks made within 5') *before* choosing whether you use reckless attack, yes? Trying to understand RAW... to go through all the issues: that the exact wording on shield...

I have done something similar and played in (other) games that have done this, and I think it worked well. ... However I don't think D&D is a good system for this. It has quite a focus on precise resource management (esp. regarding hit points and healing), and the DM already has plenty to keep...

So about 2 and a half years after the release of the 5E PHB and Basic rules, I count... 15ish 5E releases so far. Of which, only 3 (Sword Coast Adventure's Guide, Volo's Guide to Monsters and the free Princes of the Apocalypse: Players Companion) add very much in the way of extra crunch. Six...

Yes. But, I find most of the humour in roleplay games is when you're laughing out of character at the incompetence/ignorance of the party or their entirely undeserved success rather than deliberately being comical. Mostly if something is done/said deliberately for humour, it is meant to be...

Bah, the summary I looked at seemed to miss that line. That'll teach me not to bother going and fetching my PHB. Shameful display.

For whatever reason, there seems to be a metaphysical difference between inflicted injuries and gradually being run down by a failure to eat, drink and rest. And healing magic finds it far far easier to deal with the former. How much you want this ingrained in the world... is up to you. Death...

The limit of 1 free Interaction with an Object. This should have been simple, instead it is horribly clunky and it's still not clear whether *dropping something* counts. It doesn't feel like it fits the rest of the system. I prefer the phrasing from the earlier playtest.

The Basic Rules have some of the Backgrounds from the PHB (Acolyte, criminal, folk hero, noble, sage and soldier) Basic rules are here: http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules The main mechanical benefit that backgrounds grant are two skill proficiencies which aren't restrained by...

The list for spells that require a INT save are also very short... (See this very useful list of lists! http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468661-A-Compilation-of-Useful-Spell-Lists&p=6701752&viewfull=1#post6701752) They are admittedly monster abilities and spells you *really* don't...

The point? Mostly as a fluff focused guide to the FR setting with some new race and class options. It felt a little awkward that what focused a lot of people's attention is the relatively small amount of crunch, and many people who didn't really care about FR pretty much bought it for that, and...

Also the classic debate on the True Nature of Hit Points. (Thanks to 5 Minute Workday: http://www.5mwd.com/)

The fact that spells use material components that are based upon their cost. Think about this for a moment, this implies that the *physical amount of diamonds* required for a Raise Dead spell literally fluctuates in accordance to real time market prices! Also from what I understand... diamonds...

When it comes to worrying about "realism" applying to D&D, characters over-night suddenly jumping in competence is *one of the least* of my worries! Training could work with some games making it part of the story, as Faraer suggested. But most of the time, I wouldn't worry and have them level...

Well from earlier analysis of this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?475208-Highest-Possible-5E-AC I can get to AC: 36 with a Level 20 Barbarian and lots of magic items and spells... Barbarian at level 20 gets Primal Might (+4 STR and CON, raises the cap to 24), so can have...

Is there any examples of this actually existing currently? Personally, I'd go with "yes it works - the creature cannot regenerate", since the rule says "Immune to necrotic damage" not "immune to effects that stop it regaining hit points" (or words to that effect) I am generally in favour of...
