Woah, careful there! That's a loaded word! You never know when the "D&D supports psionics just fine, just play an X and call it a psion" people might show up!

I was just watching a video discussing the Assyrians, whose religion basically said you should always be at war, and this drove their culture to the point that by constantly attacking, even when you shouldn't, it caused their civilization to crumble.

Sure but I mean, there's a real double standard in a lot of games regarding Charisma, where you can't be more charming, smart, or sensible as the character OR the player! The shy kid in a group plays a Bard and gets ignored despite having a 19 Charisma. The theatre kid in your group can be as...

Being cynical again, I can't imagine a player would want to even try using a Wish in this way, given how eager most DM's are to Monkey's Paw the spell's effects- hell, I'm having a hard time imagining a player actually wanting to cast the spell at all, outside of the few, proscribed, "safe" effects!

Honestly? I think Charisma shouldn't be an ability score. If we'd prefer social negotiation to be role played and not to be "roll Persuasion against made-up on the spot DC" (or worse, not allowing rolls at all, because c'mon guys, nobody would be so gullible as to buy a bridge", completely...

That wall climbing Rogue? Yeah, he should have arms of steel and a grip like a vise!

Yes, but that didn't kick in until higher levels. As a low level Fighter, you were more susceptible to say, Hold Person, than most everyone else.

Rant time! (Sorry, but you basically gave me permission). I want to preface this list with one thing- in my opinion, it should not be the DM's job to figure all this stuff out without any real guidance. The game should take these things into account and the DMG should go into great detail...

Absolutely. Scrolls would be fine too, as no spell slot is used. Loophole or working as intended? The world may never know, lol. EDIT: took a second look. "On your turn, you can take one additional action, except the Magic action." If using a Wand uses the Magic action (I believe it...

Cynical answer: yes, if NPC's are doing it.

Well, if you're not playing with the brand new 5e2024 DLC, that is.

In previous editions, creatures had attack routines stated because that was how they usually attacked. With animals, they rely largely on instinct, so in ordinary situations, they will attack prey in a fairly predictable manner. Creatures like the Roper, or Dragons, who have different reaches...

I think the problem with this is defining what is 'supernatural' in a setting. We can define it from our real worl perspective, of course, but a lot of things might be considered perfectly normal to people living in a fantastic world. "Yep, that there waterfall has flowed upwards since...

Was there a tacit agreement in the thread? So sorry if so.

Oh ok, well, in addition to the mechanical reasons (proficiencies, fighting style), I'd also choose a level for story reasons, or, if I felt my current class was lacking and needed more oomph. Some examples of different reasons: *I wanted to play an archer Rogue, but it occurred to me that a...

Why only three answers allowed? I had five possible reasons, lol.

Here's the relevant section from the 2014 PHB: Note that this is only for changing out what spells you have prepared. Replenishing the spell slots themselves happens after completing a long rest.

Galder's Tower 3rd-level conjuration (Wizard spell) Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a fragment of stone, wood, or other building material) Duration: 24 hours You conjure a two-story tower made of stone, wood, or similar suitably sturdy materials. The tower can be...

This is debatable as well. Spells may follow rules, but there's plenty of examples of "it's magic!" all over the place in D&D. Castles built on clouds, islands that float in the sky, rivers that flow through the air, places where time itself doesn't flow correctly, and so on. Sure, you could...
