Your number 3 is very false. The horse uses ITS OWN movement and actions while being controlled in combat. However it is limited to the disengage and dash actions. Your mount could for example, use all its movement, then you could use half your movement to dismount, then move the remaining...

Right. I am very hesitant to alter things that are so spelled out in the book. The book states "If your mount is knocked prone, you can use your reaction to dismount it as it falls and land on your feet. Otherwise, you are dismounted and fall prone in a space within 5 feet it." Falling prone is...

I do think traps need a really concise description like this. Easily searchable. However I do want to get in on any arguments about passive perception and finding traps...

For better or worse, it is always overcast, dreary and depressing in Barovia. The Morninglord has abandoned Barovia and can no longer protect the people from creatures of the night. The choices are dreary by day, or dark by night. Get used to choosing between not good and bad, because in...

I would also rule that the planetaar sees through lies. Glibness states "magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates that you are being truthful." Meaning non-magical methods can still overcome the protection. If I tell you that you can't hear anything, you can still tell...

Blackguards are particularly evil humanoids, but still humanoids for the mechanical effects of spells.

I kinda agree its probably not going to make it in XgtE. Mainly because it has a lot of really quirky behavior (such as the invulnerable raven), and the fact it is a very specific patron, as opposed to all other Warlock patrons, which are very general powerful forces which could be a number of...

The druid can keep shifting to heal. So he can go Mammoth->Fire Elemental->Earth Elemental. As long as he does it before he gets to 0 hp, his "real" hp will stay full.

First, Defensive CR: 6/7 (you are 2hp away from 7) + 1.5 for being 3 AC over Immunity to several conditions.. well skip Offensive CR Damage output 11x3 +14.5x1 for 47.5 DPR Putting him on the low end of CR 7. +1 over to hit for maybe .5 CR. CR8 is pretty close going by the book.

Druid. Guidance, Mending. 1/day Goodberry. You have +1d4 on all skills, can fix any minor breaks, and will never starve and can recover 10 hp a day.

Its kinda Micro Managing. Not really fun for many. Especially when 1 background specifically allows you to find fresh water for up to 6 people a day without so much as an ability check. As well as Create water level 1 spell. Or the fact Goodberry "provides enough nourishment to sustain a...

Agreed. That is a similar issue I have with the new warlock invocations, yes they are cool, but they really feel like some are mandatory if available for full potential, thus reducing the available number of invocations.

There's actually 2 disarms. The Battle-master Fighter version and the DMG Variant version.

I used the statistics for objects which are available in the DMG and Basic rules. Most weapons would be Iron therefore have an AC of 19 (wood has ac of 15) and as small resilient items have 10 HP. Which means shatterspike with even a +1 strength mod will break 1h weapons in a single hit, which...

Easiest to assume is you are attempting a head shot. If you miss up, left, or right by 6 inches, you miss the target. Now if you are aiming center mass (chest/gut) if you miss 6 inches up, left or right you still hit. So it makes the attack much more likely to miss. But deal more damage if it...

Lawful-Chaotic : Lawful means you have some set of rules or code you follow, could be the actual law, thieves code, warrior honor, or it could be the Rules of Acquisition. Chaotic means you do not adhere to any particular ruleset. It doesn't mean you are an anarchist, or that you actively defy...

The DM can also decide that circumstances influence a roll in one direction or the other and grant advantage or impose disadvantage as a result.

Narrative small dips in other classes makes complete sense. Maybe you are a bandit-king or street enforcer. That is a good reason to be fighter/rogue. Honestly, every class has reason to dip or start taking Barbarian - Character has always been temperamental, but has began to tap into their...

Allowing a roll to influence a situation is in no way "removing the challenge entirely". And like many things, a involved important event should NEVER be resolved with a single dice roll. If a player says "I want to scale the side of the mountain the prisoners are being held on the top of " Do...

When you are building your campaign. You should leave a lot of it open ended. Have actors who are working on actions, and maybe figure out one or two ways the players "Could" prevent the things. (Just make sure its possible). After that you should really let the players run their course. The...
