Usually I just let my players steer the story. My players usually roleplay it out. I won't just give them a list of quests and they won't just say "I enter the tavern and ask all the NPC for potential quests". Instead they will try to gather information by manually talking with people I...

As long as the casting requirements are met (that is burning 10gp worth of material in a brass brazier), I think it's perfectly fine.

Yes, as long as the player has a new idea on what to check, he can roll again.

I'd never allow stacking like that. If something is related to various skills, what the players says he wants to do determines what roll is used. Magic relic example: A) DM: "Your find a weird object, seems like a relic." Player: "I wanna check if I have read about that object before." DM...

No they don't? They actually proof my point. Jeremy pretty clearly states that sleep is required (except for elves).

No, you are misreading that. It means you can either: - sleep - do light activity for no more than 2 hours

There definitely is: In other words: At least for 6 hours of those 8 hours the character must be sleeping.

My first group was based on the basic rules so it included: Fighter, Cleric, Rogue and Wizard My second group had complete free choice and the people who applied (didn't take all) wanted to play: Monk, Druid, Wizard, Warlock, Rogue, Bard, Paladin So for me the jobs that never even came up are...

Since a long rest requires 6 hours of sleep (unless you are an elf and then it still requires 4 hours of trance), I don't see how it could just "happen".

I also enjoy combat more when healing can't outheal the damage. I like how it's strongly encouraged to heal between battles instead.

A long rest is not interupted, unless combat goes on for 1 hour. This was already clarified by WotC staff. As combat never goes on for that long, a long rest is never interupted by something like an ambush during the rest. It works out just fine like that. It would be silly to force my players...

Not on the map and not in the description either.

I noticed that a lot of villages in D&D don't actually have a graveyard. How do villagers handle the corpses of deceased villagers? Would people usually just be buried wherever they died (like while traveling, next to the road)? Or is there some sort of "service" from the cities to gather the...

So I went mostly with UA now: - 3 beasts at level 2 from the table (so no giant versions) - 1 extra beast from the table per level - everything not in the table (including giant versions) needs to be encountered and studied - advantage on ability check to learn to wild shape into a "giant"...

All my expenses are the adventure paths and the digital player maps I buy separately. So that's about $80 per adventure. Seeing how an adventure keeps my group busy for several years, I guess you could call it cheap. But I would still rather call it expensive, because a lot of the game's...

Done! Edit: By the way, I answered that I don't mind that D&D 5e is only available in English. That's because I play over the internet with English players (that's why I also play 9+ times per month, I play daily! - a better question would be "How many hours do you spent per week for D&D?"). I...

But the Unearthed Arcana doesn't even offer "Giant Badger" as option. The CR is 1/4 and it's of beast type, so the requirements are met. It feels to me like UA either bundled those together or wants the Druids to be completely unable to turn into "Giant" versions of any beast (except when...

My druid liked the Unearthed Arcana rules so we decided to go with that. But now another question came up: UA lists "Badger". If you are familiar with a Badger, can you also transform into a Giant Badger then?

I see so it's more a personal issue for you. But I had quite some fun battles that were only like this because players didn't know something about a monster. So there is a lot lost if a player knows something about the monster already.

For me personally, players knowing the entire Monster Manual would be a big problem. I don't want my players to know any monsters stats and I don't really want to go the way of modifying them either. Usually I feel the games are most fun if the players know exactly the same thing as their...
