🤔 You are still playing a kid's game... ;) In gemany it was aired in 91. So I was 11 when I have originally seen it.

Mage slayer is a true gem now. I think that hits the mark. You probably should not target the fighter. The barbarian or paladin or wizard might be a better choice. Some thing I noted: What happens if the dragon is dead while someone is in the demi plane? The banished creature returns to a...

Of course. And still you should not overdo it. It is setting a bad example. It is against the good faith interpretation/use of the rules. Maybe the ability should say it needs to be a safe place the dragon can see. But even then a clever dragon can work around that. If the DM want to make a...

Yes. 1/short rest succeed on a mental save. Yes. Of course. That is what I meant. Lets say bardic inspiration and bless (+1d12+1d4 and 12(+1) charisma.) That is an average bonus of +10. With advantage it is close to a coin flip. Maybe a ring or cloak of protection on top. We are speaking...

Yes. Same goes for PCs. I think it is dangerous to start optimizing against all possible tactics players could bring to the table. Certainly a gold dragon has heard about the epic PCs. And a little bit of preparation is ok. But you shoud be wary not to overdo it.

But PC wizards have int 20 or more at this point. So they are even more well prepared. (The real limit is player/dm creativity ad I prefer not to engage in an arm's race of who finds the better rules "exploit").

A reasonable limit would be returning to a place the dragn can see. But here again, at that level teleport is available for players too. And a cleric could just wish the character back. And so on. We are speaking about level 20 characters. Yes. Against a gold dragon, fire is to be expected...

But less than reliable. The fighter has legendary resistances of their own. If they have mage slayer, one extra get out of jail. And maybe they have other save bonus so they can actually make the save. Bless, bardic inspiration, Paladin aura, non dumped charisma. In that case being a gnome can...

Charm person and any control spell of lower levels got heavily nerfed. And that is not totaly bad. So it is not a one strategy fits all approach.

Oh ok. I stand corrected. Why did I think it was changed? Onednd playtest?

? Charm Person does only work on humanoids or not?

I think that is not mentioned in 5.24. Bit yeah. Also a reason. But running into gelatineous cubes is an even better reason.

Funny thing: they are joking about someone should do a study that things which are closer to human are more scary/discomforting... ... which already studies exist about (although often related to robots). The effect is called: uncanny valley. Was a factor in why the movie Polar Express failed...

A reason why creatures with darkvison should consider a lantern.

5e already was closer to 4e in many ways than it was to 3e. It was just camouflaged. Some things are just a bit uncovered now. But for 5.24 they actually stepped back a bit once again. Their playtest showed that some 4e things like replacing spells with powers is not regarded as good design...

Special cover and digital version. I think the Special cover is pretty. And once I get my German version, the english ones get a nice space on my shelf. Digital is just useful. Even though not everything is as I'd like from the previews, the book will probably be better than the 2014...

Can't answer. Need multiple choice.

I think this change is for the better. And it has nothing to do woth counter spell. I hated the 4e format where every ability is "unique". Because they were not. Many abilities were similar but with little changes. So with those abilties, you actually had to read the stat block very carefully...

I just thought the same yesterday... Same for guiding bolt. LEVEL 4 VERSION. Why not 7d6?

Better. Prof bonus and prof bonus +2 vs base DC of 10 vs 8. Has the added benefit of making it work exactly like all other passive scores.
