Saw this on Twitter from Jeremy Crawford:

Tomorrow? Or, the future?

Halflings. They're not cheesy*, just...meh. I know a lot of D&D is ripped off from Tolkien, but I'd rather they chose the Wodwose. Also, half-elves. I'd like to run a game where the offspring of a human and an elf is a Halfling. At least the name would make sense, then. And the whole Lucky...

Ever stabbed yourself with a d4? That's the Pointy Hat cantrip. It's a special PHB gnome feature that's only visible via darkvision. Be careful what you say. Gnomes are everywhere, and they're watching you.

Random thought. Based on the old superhero RPG Golden Heroes, where you rolled randomly for your powers, could it be possible to build PCs based on random collections of abilities drawn from all classes, and have to then produce a rationale for how your PC came to have them? D100 table...

If you're raised from the dead, there is a chance that (lightning flash, organ music extract) something else...something other came through too. A demon is released. Or there is a balance to maintain. One out, one in. It may be a character's other half, or child, sibling, or the King, plunging...

Which would be a huge nerf unless you rule that 0=death but isn't supermassive evisceration like what the existing instadeath rule implies, so unless you trigger 'traditional' instadeath you can use it. If not, then yep, half Orc relentless becomes meaningless.

You'll get a lot of half orcs with death at 0. One way to make it scarier would be to simply make Death Saves be best of 3, rather than first to 3.

So I rolled a half Orc monk which was never going to be terribly min maxed anyway. I rolled fairly average. But this is what I made of it: Name: Eric Race: Half-Orc Class: Monk (will be Way of the Open Hand) Background: Acolyte Level: 1 10 STR (+0) 16 DEX (+3) 12 CON (+1) 10 INT (+0) 14 WIS...

Yeah, I was trying to second guess anyone with MC levels in two or more caster classes (eg Druid/Ranger or EK/Warlock etc). I like the simplified version, though perhaps: - the second spell you cast automatically needs a Conc check every round - disadvantage on Conc checks if take damage; fail...

The Adem from The Name of the Wind books fit well.

Toss up between Wood Elf and Ghostwise Halfling as best Monk. Both get +2 Dex and +1 Wis. Halfling gets Lucky, Elf gets Fey Ancestry and Mask of the Wild. Although I'm also toying with a suboptimal - Half Orc Monk (Str 10, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 12) - the weedy half Orc who got...

Divided Mind AKA The Kvothe Feat Allows the caster to split his/her mind such that they can maintain two concentration spells at the same time for a number of rounds equal to their caster level in that spell. This is mentally taxing so the caster suffers Disadvantage on concentration checks...

Define 'worth it': what is most valuable to you? If you mean, damage per round, there are others here who can give you chapter and verse about GWF v Duelling v TWF/DW. If you mean, is AC more valuable than damage potential, there are pluses and minuses IMO. If it's a concept thing and you...

I know there were other reasons cited, but if you watch the couple of episodes before Orion Acaba left Critical Role he spent the entire time shopping. The other players were visibly irritated, even vocally so. Call me a cynic but I get the feeling that this (along with his increasingly min...

Just take Acolyte background
