    D&D 5E (2014) Paladins and Find Mount, what does the paladin get over other riders, if anything?

    This is how I read both the spell and Jeremy's interpretation.

    The Angry GM on D&D Encounters

    The past few days have been a good example about how the organization isn't being managed as well as it could/should be. A post on the facebook group talked about what DMs rolled on their blank cert only to have AL admins interject and say there is no rolling. The DMs point out the cert tells...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladins and Find Mount, what does the paladin get over other riders, if anything?

    Lol. If you really want to kill your mount off I guess. "While mounted on your steed, you can make any spell you cast that targets only you also target your steed." But invisibility focused on you could extend to your mount. Or fly, etc.

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladins and Find Mount, what does the paladin get over other riders, if anything?

    Don't forget about this one also. http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/09/16/find-steed-steed-can-attack-on-your-turn/ So basically it is both independent/intelligent and controlled. It sounds to me like it acts on your turn but is considered independent in terms of action options.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Master feat for bard questions

    Two questions. First, is it a worth while ritual to pick up if I'm the main support/healer. (melee heavy group) Second, Can I add the rituals I innately know to the ritual book and then learn new ones next time I level? (for example comprehend languages).

    The Angry GM on D&D Encounters

    1.) foul/abusive language totally reasonable to cut. 2. I've seen entire posts disappear that seemed reasonable, not just the stuff that does off on tangents. I'm just pointing out how it looks from the outside. I totally get that it's volunteer, but sometimes the tone comes across uninviting...

    The Angry GM on D&D Encounters

    My own two cents. The interaction between AL coordinators and the players/DMs could be a lot better. I've seen lots of facebook questions/posts just deleted instead of being properly answered and archived. What they were I couldn't tell you, I just recall saying to myself, "Oh thats a good...

    D&D 5E (2014) Useful Mobile Apps For 5e?

    WotC takedown. I understand the reasoning but damn, I'd pay money for WotC to release something for real

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on Archmage - the beginning of the Rage of Demons storyline (spoilers!)

    I was thinking about picking this up. I am an avid reader but Salvatore's books are often hit or miss. Your positive review confirms it for me. After I get through it, I'll let you know my own opinion.

    5e Balance Tweaks

    It would be except with GW fighting style, greatsword always gets more bang for the buck. GWF averages: 1d10=6.3; 1d12 = 7.33; 2d6 = 8.33 by just flat doubling the die (or even with standard crits) the gap increases. Having a new feat that slightly favored greataxe (and was similar to the orc...

    5e Balance Tweaks

    2 things. First, I do not appreciate being told how I feel (ie opinion) is wrong because you have proven it mathematically. Second, all weapons do not need to be perfectly lined up. This isn't world of warcraft where everyone gets a pat on the back of equal pressure and duration. Variation and...

    5e Balance Tweaks

    Maybe... but adding new weapons properties is a slippery slope I agree with your statement that -5 to hit was to severe for a 1d12. But I also feel like -3 is too little of a penalty for 1d12. I also liked the simplicity of the "just add an extra weapon die". Why not -3/+1dX for greatsword...

    That is incredibly sensible. Gives a Paladin a reason to pick up a greataxe instead of defaulting to greatsword.

    5e Balance Tweaks

    Just to make sure we are all looking at the same PHB... Polearm master Sentinel GWF I still don't see your complaint about the opportunity attacks. Great weapons do fine on damage, especially with great weapon fighting style (2d6) or with race bonuses like orc extra damage die. Some...

    5e Balance Tweaks

    This is pretty much an entirely new feat for versatile weapons and is no longer GWF. You only get one reaction, therefor only one opportunity attack. "You may make one melee attack" is redundant. reducing polearm damage to d8 needlessly penalizes you. If you are comparing it to TWF, TWF should...

    5e Balance Tweaks

    I respectfully disagree with these entirely. I have no idea how you came to these opinions at all. Like, I'm trying to think of how you came to these conclusions but I have no idea.

    That extra damage is a pittance compared to losing your capstone lvl 20 ability in either class. I think this is mountain/molehill for this situation.

    5e Balance Tweaks

    I disagree with Quicken changes with the invocation. If you are spending that much effort and resources to just get agonizing blast + quicken, you shouldn't also be penalized the damage reduction.

    5e Balance Tweaks

    I like most of it. I'm not a fan of the fighter change. (kinda boring). I'd rather see something like an extra 1d4 damage or something added to all attacks. that is only 2.5 damage but it works well with the crits doubling damage. It puts its damage more in line with battlemaster while keeping...
