Conversely, changing the things that the hardcore fans like about your product in the hope of increasing its appeal to casuals is often a recipe for failure.

'Realistic' in terms of buying individual miniatures rather than big batches. While you're only paying $1 per miniature, I kinda suspect you spend a lot more money in total on miniatures than the typical D&D gamer who just wants a single mini to represent his character. In terms of actual...

The pre-colored hero forge miniatures are less than great, but their grey resin figures are excellent. Not on the level of what the best sculptors can do, but they paint up nicely and they can be customized to look exactly like your character! Having a custom mini of the same quality sculpted...

looks like the characters are inside the anti-magic cone of the central eye, so the Beholder can't aim its eye rays at them.

I don't think the Necromancer is ever coming back. The whole theme of the class is to raise an undead horde, but one of the main changes from 5e to 5.5 has been to limit ways players have to gain a horde of minions.

Shield twice a day, that really makes you feel like you're playing a magic knight. Compared to the Battlemaster and other Fighter subclasses, it's like the EK doesn't have a subclass until lvl 7.

Disintegrate does say the disintegrated target can only be revived with Wish or True Resurrection, which strongly implies that they are now dead. IMO that sage ruling is just plain wrong. Effects like Disintegrate are precisely why Relentless Endurance has the caveat that it only works if...

A single classed Eldritch Knight doesn't really come online until lvl 7... Sad.

It does. Opportunity attacks are triggered when a creature you can see leaves your reach.

4e did have a character builder, first an offline program and later an online-only one. Both were excellent and regularly updated while they were being supported. What 4e did not have was an online tabletop. That was what the project that ended in tragedy was supposed to deliver. 4e did play...

Even at a 145% tariff, Chinese products are still the best value available in a lot of product categories. Often Chinese products are the only ones available at all.

So it's not actually a rule, at least not one that's part of the core books it ostensibly regulates. I wonder why they didn't print this in the PHB?

You're mixing up copyright and trademarks. If Tasha was selling her Hideous Laughter she could get a trademark for it, but she can't because she's a fictional character and Hideous Laughter isn't an actual product being traded.

Where is this rule printed?

All this means is that you can't write an adventure, write that Sir Peasantkiller is Knight, and be certain that the DM running the adventure will be able to find the relevant stat block in the 5.2 SRD. You can however copy the "Iron Golem" statblock from the SRD, change the name to "Knight"...

Backwards compatibility was always about marketing, about presenting 5.5 as the "same game" as 5e. So the survey responses never mattered for this issue either way, as it was one of the core requirements for One D&D before the project even started.

Jeremy Crawford is joining U2 as the new bassist.

Such tools do exist: The long handle means you get a lot of leverage. Steam engines and associated machinery tends to be big, so it makes sense that you need big tools to work on them.

That's an appropriate phrase to describe how some people respond to this wonderful new technology.
