    D&D 5E (2014) Alignment working as intended in 5e

    I would say LN, since they are doing it in the interest of good, rather than building a brainwashed army to lord over.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tabaxi claw attack

    If I am not mistaken, you can make an offhand attack anytime you want with your fist, it is just such a poor use that it never really happens. I might be wrong, though I don't see it destroying balance, as it does not meet the requirements for most abuse-able abilities like a Sneak attack...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "give away your location" mean?

    correct, they still cannot see you. You continue to gain advantage.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Workbench Mobile Now on Android!

    Ah, I see where the spells say the page, sorry for that. I tend to skim read, so all I saw was the later bits on spells like Prismatic Spray, where it says "See sourcebook", so I forgot to actually look anywhere else for an actual page. My bad.

    D&D 5E (2014) Prepared, Unknown Spells Help

    Wizard is able to Prepare a certain number of spells (Think it is INT mod+1). He is only able to cast spells that he has prepared, no matter what spells he knows. The exception is Ritual spells, which can be cast without being prepared, but only as a ritual. Wizard can Know any number of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Workbench Mobile Now on Android!

    Alright, got the app to try it out. Thoughts 1) Paladin and Ranger both have spells listed up to level 9, even though they cannot get higher than 5. Not a real issue, just something you might be able to clean up. 2) The brushed steel looks fine, and is perfectly serviceable. The only reason...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should I Keep My Volo's Guide

    Are those things actually considered dangerous content? When I was only about 10 my favorite movie was a draw between Frighteners and 13 ghosts (the more recent one). Also around that age, I considered Nightmare on Elm Street a comedy, it was so not horrifying. Ah, the wonders of late-night...

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    I think that a limited number of points works fine, and is no more abstract than HP. HP represents an ambiguous mix of Skill, Luck, and health, while this resource (Ki, Tactic points, Superiority dice, whatever it is) represents an ambiguous mix of luck (how often your enemies give an opening...

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    Glad that I actually have some designing chops. Makes me feel more hope for all my homebrew ideas.

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    Yeah, but that is on the player end. It doesn't have that hint of "You got unlucky? This skill makes you EXTRA unlucky" that the fumbles would. Making the player look extra lucky is on the other end of the spectrum, and at most might make the DM unhappy that his player is so lucky, after which I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should I Keep My Volo's Guide

    I wasn't even thinking he should keep it to sell, just because it is fun. For as long as I can remember, my dad has had a bottle of budweiser that came with an upside-down label. Not for money or anything, just a curiosity, and he said "You know what, that's funny. I'll keep that one."

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    It does not take a lot to say that they had a particular swing they liked using that left them open, and once you showed that opening(by having your buddy stab them in it) they closed it up. Further on, your trained tactical eye is able to pick out smaller openings, making your party look...

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    It could be skinned as the tactical opportunity not presenting itself again, and at higher levels you are simply better at catching the little tics that give the opportunity for a particular maneuver.

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    No, but both being bardic dice powers put them in the same boat of "maybe magical, maybe not". Also, there is the Second-wind ability on Fighter, and spell-less ranger has poultices (though that is a UA, so take that as you may). I actually recommended a spell-less Bard for Warlord, where all of...

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    To clarify, because I would not want to mistake your stance, are you talking about me changing my characters' reaction to the Warlord? Because that is just on my end, and has no effect on their character at all. I am not reskinning them, or their character, and am not taking anything away from...

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    I can certainly agree that I don't want my character being told "You are inspired" without some possibility of magic (like the bard) being involved. However, I also don't see my own opinion as a reason to not let others have what they want. If a warlord comes up, and is loaded to the brim with...
