There are two issues with this. First it ends at the end of your turn. Under the previous rules I could use a bonus action to end it during the turn and then use an action on that same turn to cast a spell. Second making an attack of forcing a save also extends it another turn, so you can...

It is a major distinction. 70 Million people die every single year worldwide, more than will die due to the effects of climate change over the entire 21st century (according to the WHO). Of the 7 Billion or so people that will die this century, less than 1 percent are scientifically expected...

When it comes to good and evil I think forcing actions on another is certainly not "good" even when those actions are well intentioned and even if they are actually a matter of survival. Even if people's choice to eat meat does actually destroy our species, that does not mean it is good, moral...

I am trying to put together a build for a Rage-Mage multiclass Zealot Barbarian/Abjuration Wizard/Warlock and I just figured out you can no longer end your rage with a bonus action in the 2024 rules. This is a big problem because if you can't end the Rage with a bonus then you can't cast a...

If I am understanding this Players will need to bid for a specific class, race and background? I don't think many players are going to go for this. I know I wouldn't. Bidding for just the ability scores is fine. I could bid every bit of my money on the 20 for example and then end with 20-7-6-5-4

Without magic items it is not overpowered. With magic items, in particular random magic items, it will mean far more options for dual wielding and could be quite overpowered.

It may be impossible, but they can still do it. They can do all kinds of impossible things, doing the impossible is actually an integral part of the game. They can even shoot a hand crossbow while levitating upside down .... as long as they have one hand free to load the ammunition. Being...

And you can't do it with a medieval crosbow easily at all. If you try to walk around with it then it does. It is called a bolt clip and it did not exist in most medieval crossbows. In those crossbows the bolt sat on the rail. It says drawing the ammunition IS part of the attack, not it...

No. Can you load ammo into your Longbow ahead of time and then walk around with a "loaded" Longbow held in one hand? The bolt would fall off the rail if you put it into a holster, or let it hang from a sling or for that matter if you did anything other than hold it up and concentrate on...

I am pretty confident it is not AI. AI art would be a lot better, have more flavor and be deeper. I am not saying AI art is the best, but it is generally better than what is on the cover and better than a lot of the art used by TSR and WOTC over the years.

Me too. I would really like to see a WOTC campaign there, like we have for Chult, Icewind Dale and the Desserian Valley.

Slings and holsters have no mechanics associated with them. They don't change anything. Reload is part of shoot, not a separate activity and drop is not free, it has to be part of an attack or an interaction in the 2024 rules. RAW he can not shoot the first crossbow if he has something in...

So who are all the heroes? I see Jarlaxle, Minsc and Karlach, who is the blue eyed wizard and the blonde Elf with long fingernails? I also love how Jarlaxle has come full circle and is now a "heroe"

Sure I can picture it, but that is not RAW. RAW he needs a free hand to load a piece of ammunition.

Yes but BOTH of these characters need to have their other hand free in order to load the crossbow, per the ammunition property.

Where does it "specifically" say this? To my knowledge, niether the 2014 or 2024 version specifically say this, nor do they say they overrides the ammunition property.

If you are sticking with those abilities I would look at Mage Slayer or Sentinel as the best feats (boosting strength). Alternatively you could put the 17 on Charisma and take Fey Touched with the Hex spell or the Dissonant Whispers spell. I find when playing a half caster your casting stat is...

the XBow expert feat does not change this as it does not aleviate the need for a free hand to load as per the ammunition feat.
