I've got a vague feeling that this might be a consequence of conditions being insufficiently based in narrative. Like: What exactly does it mean when a creature has been stunned? Well, it means you can't move, have trouble speaking, can't act, fail strength and dex saves and grant advantage...

I'm not quite sure what you mean here: 'better ranges to hit'? Do you mean he could shoot further? Or that his attack bonus was higher? And if so, so what? Unless the arcane archer was so inaccurate that he misses every other shot, he still had a ton of advantages over the barbarian: elemental...

Assuming people are going to commit fraud in order to make your system work is a pretty poor way to design something.

"One evil person did X. Therefore ALL evil people do X." where X is anything from "gave in to their urges" to "committed crimes which had no legitimate explanation" to "got caught". There's also "I won't associate with a specific evil person, therefore anybody who is not evil will not associate...

So lets start with the fact that 'evil' is a game term that is far too broad to be applicable in the real world, or potentially even in D&D (but that's another argument). We'll continue on with the fact that you're using an association fallacy IE: "John has red hair. John likes motorcycles...

I'm not a lawyer, but reading the terms of service suggests to me that: 1. If you deliberately upload your own work to twitch, you're assigning rights to twitch to use it for a whole bunch of things. 2. If your work is considered an 'addon', 'map' or 'mod', and was submitted on one of their...

Well, we're pretty sure that they're the accretion disk of super massive black holes.

Well, yeah, since a quasar is just about the brightest thing around... "The name of the unnamed/unnameable" - find the true name of some powerful foe OR be the first to name something that previously did not have a name.

Now I just need a way to apply it to multiple targets at once so I can have villains monologue at the PCs without fear of attack!

2 weapon fighting specifically requires you to make an attack in addition to taking the attack action: "When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re...

He secretly gets cured, of course. Why would he do that? He feels like revealing his true self is the only way to be truly honest...

If he thinks that's min maxing, just wait until you start using your abilities effectively!

Great! But there's still posters in this thread saying things like "it's impossible to hang onto the ground"... 1/2 D&D walking speed is 0.7 meters per second. That doesn't actually seem all that unreasonable looking at the video. I would probably say that simply requiring a climb check for...

http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/ng-adventure/adv-beyond-the-edge-sharma I mean sure, he's got a rope so he doesn't fall to his death and he's not wearing armor, and he obviously fails a few checks, but he's basically crawling along a surface that matches most outdoor or dungeon...

Was there one and only one path through the adventure with no deviations? If no, then not a railroad. Did the players notice there was only one path through the adventure? If no, then not a railroad. Did the players dislike the adventure because of that? If no, then not a railroad. So no...

If you have this problem as a DM, then it's probably your fault. Hypothetically, lets suppose that one day, the PCs do not hang around for an hour sacrificing rats. Do they gain anything by this? Do they arrive an hour before the bad guy is ready to start the world ending ritual? Do they make...

I realise that Caliban has already altered this, but... so what? You can already effectively dual wield two-handed reach heavy weapons with polearm master. This just kind of evens the field a bit. Again, so what. It just stops you from being funneled into specific weapon combos. The broken...

Good thing that it comes with first level wizard spells, caster level and ritual access! On the other hand those bard levels make you a far better counterspeller, so it's a big dropoff for any casters you face as well.

So exhausted that you can't remember history properly for an entire day: 1 level of exhaustion Carrying your max load and trying to run a marathon: disadvantage to con checks and a 20ft penalty to speed. Carrying your max load and trying to run a marathon while you're so exhausted you can't...

The problem with using the exhaustion rules for anything is that the exhaustion rules suck. They're a higglety pigglety random assortment of penalties that don't line up with anything else in the game, make being hungry harder to cure than being dead, and impact "trying to remember history" more...
