Well.... Arcane vs Divine magic is defined on that sidebar on page 205 of the 5E PHB. But practically to my knowledge you're right. There are no rules that come off Divine vs Arcane magic. I believe some magic items care what *class* you are, but not what power source. Personally I think 5E...

I think it's a fair ruling. Automatically failing contested STR and DEX ability checks - sure, in fact I think I assumed they already did. I agree that paralyzed/unconscious characters still getting their DEX bonus to AC is a bit weird... personally I don't think it's a massive *problem* since...

Nope, because it's the DM who describes the environment and what happens when they players interact with it, not the rules.

This appears something of a Necrothread but... Given that the Quarterstaff and Spear has almost identical stats Simple Melee weapons, D6 damage, D8 Versatile. A spear can be thrown and does piercing rather than bludgeoning damage. If you want to be super detailed, then compare the benefits of...

It got covered in a Sage Advice http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/sageadvice_july2015

They seem pretty good to me, esp. watching different people play and enjoy them. The Domains give pretty chuncky benefits that reinforce them, esp. Channel Divinity. Channel Divinity is very cool because it recharges on short rests and you get additional uses of it at level 6 and 18. The...

You get to wear heavy armour and use weapons that use D10 + Reach OR D12 or 2D6 Damage. + Great Weapon Fighting Style. Also to use Athletics to grapple or Shove Prone and then use Action Surge to kurb stomp. Esp. given so few monsters or NPCs are proficient in Athletics or Acrobatics. You can...

From the description on the "Your Pact Boon" sidebar on page 108... yeah I think it can be made of anything, providing it suits the flavour of the pact. As for the *mechanical effect of being made of such materials... we'll currently they're a bit obsolete by the line: All the damage...

I posted this a while back on the WoTC forums and RPG.net, occurred to me that some people on Enworld might be interested as well. Read more: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?474120-5E-The-few-mechanical-implications-of-Alignment#ixzz44cRQwG6r Following my prior thread: The few...

Revivify existed in 3.5E in the Miniatures Handbook and then reprinted in the Spell Compendium (December 2005) to be precise HAH! It wasn't 4E fault! Stop being mean to it! It was however a 5th level spell. Not 3rd level. Needed to be cast *within 1 round* And more expensive.

Arguably being able to observe the direct actions of deities makes them far more open to criticism. "I don't follow any God, they're all jerks!"

From 5E? Fighter Hunter Ranger Moon Druid Arcane Trickster Rogue Way of the Four Elements Monk Oath of Vengeance Paladin Light Cleric I can recall from the top of my head, some of these were only for one off games however.

People running lots of enjoyable games with only a handful of books!

Ability score damage is so rare in 5E that every source mentions how to regain it, and Greater Restoration (level 5 spell) specifies it cures ability score damage. A Shadow's Strength Drain is until the target finishes a long or short rest. The Hit Point Maximum loss from Wight, Spectre and...

There aren't any feats that give +2 to any ability score, if there was it would just be better than getting a +2 Ability Score Improvement. Observant and Resilient feats both let you gain +1 to Wisdom. So a Variant Human could start with +2 to Wisdom. But I concur, it might be a deliberate...

The Morale rules. But more to the point, the explanation about when not to use them and make a judgment call instead. The many supplements that *weren't* just more rules or more monsters or even more settings, instead ideas about running games inspired by historical settings. The more blurred...

Yes. It's Advantage (e.g. attacking from hiding) OR the target having an enemy within 5' Note, this is *An Enemy of the Target*, not *your ally* in exciting fights where the enemy of your enemy isn't your friend. Note the once per turn, not once per round? That's important for 3A. Similarly...
