Doesn’t work that way. It targets a 5’ cube, not all earth that would fit into a 5’ cube. You can move it around, but doesn’t say anything about shaping it as you wouldn’t be able to pile earth 5’ high but only 1’ thick, it would collapse. However, you would be able to quickly make a 2’ deep...

The “balance” issue is there, but good DMing can change that. What I do is this: First change critical hit rule to max damage dice and then whatever you rolled. So that d8+5 critical hit is 8+d8 +5. Players like it since you can’t crap out on the rare critical hit. Second, this helps you as...

Savage Tide hit a lot a monster groups also, but had some unique ones. Essentially you sail to Isle of Dread and eventually end up forming an alliance with Orcus and Iggwilv to fight Demogorgon. What could go wrong?

This and Savage Tide are some of the best writing and adventure that has been produced. I want to convert Savage Tide but just haven’t gotten to it.

Never once has it been considered OP or cheese. Like I said, he probably had someone use it in a game and he is angry about it. Its a "rare" feat, most players go for GWF or SS for the up-front, immediate, visible damage reward. The only build I would even recommend it for it Paladins simply...

Dual Wielder. I have played so many editions they all blend unless I have the book in front of me. In my game if you use that feat you can use your shield to bash with. The only people who take it are Strength based dual wield fighters, essentially they turn down a d8 weapon for a d4 weapon...

I "assume" that since he added "and attack" he was cutting off the concept of Shove and Grapple and a few other things that can replace an actual attack in the Attack action. I don't know though. I think its splitting hairs.

So if you take Dual Weapon Mastery feat you can attack with your Shield interspersed with your regular attacks and Shove with as a substitute for an attack with yourself but if you take Shield Mastery feat you cant Shove with your Shield until all your attacks are over ? I guess the though is...

Your example is correct. Think about it in “reality” also, the game world reality. You are a combat type and fighting someone with a shield and weapon and know how to bash someone with a shield. You fight in a continuous sequence of weapon attacks interspersed with blocking blows with your...

It is when everyone else experiences all align and yours doesn’t and you completely ignore all others and refuse to acknowledge it. You are trying to apply one example to make a general rule instead of actual analysis. Yes thats Cognitive Dissonance. Calling it claptrap is exactly the...

However the player wants to play his race is generally ok by me. The most important difference in the races is lifespan. Knowing your expiration date greatly affects your worldview. I did get rid of the half-dragon template, making all children of dragons Dragonborn, regardless of the other...

Actually if a person says "I could give X" it does not mean they have X. It could mean they have X, but not necessarily. What it does indicate about the speaker is the one (or more) of the following: 1. They have X and might give it you. 2. They do not have X but could acquire it at a...

No by RAW but it makes no sense to slavishly follow that when it has zero balancing affect on the game. Its on a case by case basis though, but here with the Tabaxi I wouldn't allow the bonus mod damage though unless you had the relevant class feature or something else, like the Dragon Hide...

To me if you DM says I am going by that rule I would just ask for a rebuild using PAM or GWF. Shield Master also encourage party tactics and cooperation, which the game needs more of not less. Once your monk starts rolling 4 attacks with advantage against a target Mr. Shield Master...

Do you have fun ruining the rest of the parties chance of success by trying to make less than useful party members? Forcing the other players to play around your PC? I can see why gnome battlemaster is listed as "fallen." Your paragraph explains the previous 3057 posts of yours. "Its...

The problem with Charger is it only works for PC's who have only one attack for their action, you are switching your attack action to an attack as a bonus action with a rider. The people who would take charger are martial types who have more than one attack at later levels who lose more then...

Correct. IMO, the way the game is now is feats have four tiers: 1. those that are equal to or worth more than a main ability increase (optimization or fun wise); 2. those that you take after your max your main stat; 3. and those that are just worth little but have some value; 4. and those...

I never said they did, the person I was responding to claimed the shove action was super useful. The point was that Shield Master always had limitations preventing it from being a really good feat on par with GWM, PAM, SS.

No one would take a feat because it gave you +2 to some saves in some situations for your 5th or 6th stat. A feat that gave you +2 to Dex saves all the time for the type of PC that would take Shield Master wouldnt be worth it. Paladins are Str, Chr, Con, Wis, then the rest, barring an odd...

No, it made the feat not worth taking. It’s not nearly as good as evasion, and evasion wouldn’t be worth a feat either. And yes SS is cheese, the fact they built in doesn’t make it less so. If JC really really wanted RAI he would have wrote it that way or changed it years ago as it’s been...
