That's an awkward way of letting stuns still be somewhat useful on Tiamat without letting them do what they normally would.

I mean, I personally hate the rule (I'd be more willing to let people take the average for a given spell's die roll than this) and the non-problem I think it's meant to solve, but it's a perfectly functional houserule that doesn't have a particularly egregious downside. Well, certain upcast...

Ok, so... Is it really so hard to say that there are (optional) rules for facing on page 252 of the Dungeon Master's Guide compared to what you did? The (optional) rules for facing are so absolutely terrible that I don't blame anyone for blanking out on their existence.

If your DM blanket bans the very attempt to take over the planet, you need to find a new DM. If the player hasn't planned well enough to make their attempt to take over the planet succeed... that's on the player.

Infinite simulacra is banned by the OP. Also, Arcana Clerics are offended that they weren't included in the Wish-Simulacrum club.

There's no risk to casting 8th level or lower spells with Wish, so unless your plans involve using 9th level spells (I know my idea uses a lot of True Polymorph spells, which the sorcerer doesn't get and can't safely cast with Wish), there's nothing stopping the sorcerer from doing the same...

If you cast finger of death on a creature made from an object via True Polymorph, would you end up with an (potentially broken) object or a zombie permanently under your command? If the latter, I'd start building my army the slow but safest way by converting objects into creatures (via True...

Just saying, True Polymorph and a little bit of kindness manipulation can go a long way.

Using the rules for what's probably the second or third most disliked (or at least, negatively received) season of AL at the moment doesn't exactly help your case, especially since the reason you can get the QOL magic items (+1 weapons, shields, arcane foci) so easily is more to help close a gap...

Because it simultaneously makes both actually being a Cleric and pretending to be a Cleric pointless?

A rogue (Thief) of the appropriate level could, but then, they have a feature that explicitly lets them do so. Custom Lineage has no such feature that allows them to do the same.

According to this, it seems like it's from any corner to any corner.

Is there a specific place where that's stated (magic weapons not having monetary value) explicitly?

I think the assumption here (and like most assumptions the game makes, it's probably a bad/unrealistic assumption) is that enough adventurers are at the level of strength needed to fully draw a longbow long enough to get an effective shot (or several) off with one. After all, when someone with a...

Looking in at the last bits of the ranger thread (It's official, WOTC hates Rangers (Tasha's version of Favored Foe is GARBAGE)), got me to thinking about barding (particularly as a solution to the "low ac" complaints being raised there) and it's there I run into a problem. A big problem...

How do you (and your DM) feel about feats? Because I'm personally a big fan of Polearm Master.

Assuming we're talking about characters being played in the game's default setting (or a sufficiently similar setting), I'm interested in reinforcement and maintenance of the traditional stereotypes because they help support the shared 'D&D' experience.

PC's absolutely aren't beholden to the average - that's why their base stats aren't simply the commoner average of 10/11 but instead the result of either chance (various random methods of stat generation) or deliberate selection (point buy or other means of stat selection).

I'd imagine the Campaign Rivals / Anti-Party would normally be exceptional (though having 'ordinary' people being such would be a good thing on occasion), while the typical guards and thugs wouldn't be (though having a group of such being exceptional every now and then would also be a good thing...

It's not even what it means in 5e, based off evidence in the very books that he designed. Or are random NPC guards and thugs also exceptional individuals now?
