No clue what you mean here, but I'll give it a go anyway: Distance All participants should state their preferred distance(s) in their character entry. When the participants share a preferred distance, that distance should always used as the starting distance for the fight. (When both...

They may very well be terrible suggestions, but they are suggestions. And I'd rather have options available (and have people ignore them) than to have any sort of default that'll have people not be interested (like say having magic items). "I would (or might) be interested in participating in...

On the first point, that's one of the reasons I suggest doing different divisions. For example, if I want to make a character with as little to worry about as possible while not being disadvantaged against other characters, I'd declare that said character used only the Basic Sources, had only...

@dnd4vr I've posted some suggestions of my own here; let me know if any of them are useful. Seeing that I never seem to understand what people are saying here (and assuming what people are saying is rude), can you provide clarification on this?

As far as conditions and rules are concerned, I'd make the following adjustments: Personally, I'd do multiple categories here, including but not limited to the following four: Basic - Player's Handbook, Monster Manual, & Dungeon Master's Guide only. Advanced - Everything in Basic plus...

You can have hit points and still be dead (gaining 6 levels of Exhaustion, being affected by Power Word Kill, reaching 0 Strength via the Strength Drain ability of a Shadow, etc.).

Changing the narrative description of a spell is a sensible change. Changing the triggering condition of a spell is not. I'm not the person who wrote Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell instead of Casting Time: 1 reaction...

How did you reach that conclusion from what I wrote?

Distant counterspell doesn't work; the trigger for the reaction requires you to be within 60 ft.

Well, that makes the post about the pr wizard's standard setup completely pointless to post. Doesn't really change my vote, though Bard's more even with Wizard in my mind in a no-prep scenario.

Specific vs general does not apply here unless the adventure/mod itself makes a note that it does for its versions of the Vampire and Spawn, or gives them immunity to the spell (or cantrips in general). Not even the dire troll (which probably has the strongest form of regeneration I've seen in...

If we're doing a weird "everyone has enough prep that they can choose what spells they have for the day of the fight, but no one has enough prep to make use of even 'permanent' things they have access to" type deal, then sure. Otherwise, the wizard is either in a 'permanent' form that the...

What if the opponent is also a devout worshipper of Odin? Would it not also be bad PR for Odin to interfere on behalf of one of his worshippers to oppose another? Otherwise, yeah, nothing really beats a sufficiently successful Divine Intervention, except for being made unable to use it (i.e...

Which is why I'd personally rather have the Chronurgy Wizard's Convergent Future for this fight. Sure, it's a reaction to use it, and sure, it gives you a level of exhaustion when you use it, but that's what your simulacrum's for (if you so choose to use it for that instead of any of a number of...

Bard or Wizard, leaning towards Wizard. Having access to both True Polymorph and Wish means everyone else may as well stay home.

There's no damage for the ward to take in this case (Shield vs Magic Missile), so I'd say the ward is not affected. The real question is what happens if you're affected by damage that heals you (like say, a yuan-ti wearing the green dragon mask gets hit with poison breath or a wizard...

Not all possible actions are covered by the skills and tools listed in the 5e system. Some of what isn't could be covered by optional systems (if desired) such as background proficiency, class proficiency, or race proficiency, while others simply are a test of raw ability where there's no...

Maybe other people play differently, but no one I'm aware of would let you make the stated readied action WW. I'll admit it doesn't really matter though, because a valid ready could be made to get the same effect. Unless you stunned them, they'll just stand on their turn which voids their...

Unless you're bringing a flying creature within range of more people than just yourself, doing so is an absolute waste of time and ki points; keeping at range and killing the flying creature at range is almost always a safer (if slower) strategy. Basic Searing Sunburst is free. Radiant Sun...

Do you know what's also not guaranteed? The ability to play as a monk, much less a Four Elements monk; I feel as though it's more common that you'll find games where monk is banned than games where you can't buy or craft magic items or find a caster able or willing to cast fly on you for what...
