    D&D 5E (2014) If you use thunderstep but teleport less than 10 feet do you take damage?

    Nope. Teleportation is instantaneous. Reappearing occurs at the same time as disappearing. The damage is after. The idiot caster would take damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) Familiars, what for?

    From a DM perspective, they're just kind of annoying. But you can have fun repeatedly killing that wizard's owl and make it a running gag.

    D&D 5E (2014) Short rests and encounters a day.

    The default of 1 hour/8 hours for short/long rest is pathetic. The gritty realism variant is the only way to go.

    D&D 5E (2014) Group skill checks

    Most often lately, I'd just ask the PC with the lowest stealth score to make the roll for the group. But if I was going to make everyone roll? I'd say 3 successes needed, and anyone that rolls a natural 1 counts as 2 fails and any natural 20 counts as 2 successes.

    D&D General Veteran fans - did you think of Basic D&D and AD&D as completely different games?

    BECMI was my base, but definitely pulled in whatever I wanted from AD&D 1e and 2e. Those little one page conversions at the end of some BECMI material was enough for me.

    D&D 5E (2024) What would your ideal rest mechanic look like?

    Here's what I've found works best with 5e. "Quick Rest" - 5 minutes, only usable immediately after a battle. Can use only 1 HD. Short Rest - full night's sleep Long Rest - 5 downtime days

    D&D 5E (2014) Math Question: Removing PB and its effect on saves?

    D&D 5E (2014) Getting Rid of Variable Weapon Damage- An Immodest Proposal

    You are wrong. BECMI had variable weapon damage. It had a crazy complex weapon mastery system. Weapon Mastery was optional. But variable damage was not.
