As far as AL is concerned, given how rule changes are typically handled there, generic "mixed ancestry characters" rules will almost assuredly replace things like half-elves and half-orcs.

Use your torches to burn them? If absolutely nothing else (or nothing better), that group of four should have at least those in their packs. While 1 (+ Strength mod) isn't exactly exciting amounts of damage, it's infinitely better than no damage.

Spells, including those which require attack rolls as part of their resolution process, use the Cast a Spell action, not the Attack action, so by your logic no cantrip can be used as part of the Bladesinger feature.

If the casting time doesn't change, then no cantrips should be castable, as there are no cantrips with a casting time of an attack.

Why would the word party game look different from D&D if the goal in designing both was to make a fun game?

Yes, but not in the same sense.

Critical hits are things done almost entirely by chance, and thus the ability to deny one is essentially the ability to deny a player's good fortune.

I suppose the first question would be, how will you determine what an average PC of a given level is? PCs being as unequal as they are at various levels depending on their composition.

Haven't seen the movie (yet), but Wall of Force should be able to block a Meteor Swarm meteor, can be shaped like a globe (despite being called Wall of Force), and is only a 5th level spell (thus is accessible at 9th level).

I just want to note that dragon is absolutely 100% handle-able with certain resources available to the group (Unless I'm horribly misremembering, Illilar and The Professor both have a Bag of Holding, so yeeting the dragon to the Astral Sea is at least theoretically on the table). Unfortunately...

Maybe the character's trash at using a bow and arrow, or otherwise just a lot more effective at melee attacks? Also, you don't need a life-saving ability if the things threatening your life are all dead and dealt with. (Also, also, the life-saving ability doesn't work or is ill-advised in the...

I wouldn't let changing forms end the condition, but definitely would let it be suppressed while in the form.

A potential problem with bringing back a thread that hasn't been touched for months (or years) is that even if the given topic hasn't run its course, the people who've participated in the original discussion have long since moved on. Bringing the topic back in this way, even when there's a...

Clearly, adventurers aren't being exhausted by the physical strain of travel but instead by the mental strain.

So, about that... The fact that nothing on this list is immune to non-magical weapons means that something like my AL armorer/necromancer could handle everything that's not the adventuring party on this list through the use of spells and mundane items. I'll leave off everything that probably...

Does the adventuring party have prep of any sort, or are they magically gear-less and experience-less level 20s? I'd still take them regardless, and probably wouldn't even bother making a second or third pick, but I'm curious as to how badly the others are screwed over in this scenario.

If the Spiritual Weapon attacks counts as my character making the attack for Fire Shield, it should also count for the purposes of Hex, Spirit Shroud, and a bunch of other effects. And I'm more than down for that.

This is very much an aside, but for the specific example mentioned, I'd probably go about it in one of two ways: 1. Give my BBEG an ability or trait that modifies the Scrying spell- to allow the sensor it makes to become visible and act as the origin point for any spells said BBEG could cast...

It (almost certainly) won't happen, but I think it'd be neat to see each class get at least 2 exclusive subclasses and then have the other subclasses be group subclasses.

Obviously, the true minimum for a PC to start adventuring is 3s across the board, before initial modifiers. Of course, no one's going to want or allow that 1 in 4738381338321616896 result (or a mere 1 in 101559956668416 result if rolling 3d6 instead of 4d6dl). My preferred minimum is 8s across...
