What do you have against mustache-twirling, Mike Mearls? When the DM gives you a railroad, pause to tie a maiden to it and twirl your mustache...

I hope that I can recreate my Boy Scout days by tying knots for XP...

I agree with UngeheuerLich that an uncontested grapple would still have a base DC even without a contested roll, simply because there’s a chance of the attempt failing (failing to secure a grip despite your ally not fighting against it, the grip,slipping while pulling said ally away, etc).

I’m guessing that it’s the PHB+1 rule, especially with the SCAG subclass reprints also in the book (recall also how Volo’s reprinted ToEE races). WotC seems to be building up more AG resources of late, from reading news here and elsewhere, so having implicit support for play-in-store in the...

For a “DMG II”? Domain play, large-scale war, and high-level campaigning (possibly including planar travel), centered around around a character known for attempts at world conquest?

Morris, I’ve done oral history transcriptions for work in the past, so I feel the pain. Especially since those videos are technically part of conversations, there’s a lot of body language and shorthand involved that likely makes it even harder (I’d be torn over sometimes including descriptors of...

I like the idea of having a range of different divine abilities, rather than always healing. Even with just a limited list, this makes it easier to expand the list for other gods/domains/spheres of influence. Since I’m most interested in this subclass as a way of playing the Dragonlance Mystic...

Another thought is an evil or shady neutral character who's empowered by a celestial for the sake of a greater good – either for a particular mission that the Higher Planes need dirty hands for or because mortals don't see fully the picture at play. Think of it as the obverse of those good...

I wonder if the choice of Shadow over Stone (if that’s indeed the case) if due to choosing the subclass that does “sorcerer” more clearly. While awesome, Stone Sorcerer strikes me as sharing the Blade Warlock’s issue of being a melee character built on a caster chassis (something the Bladesinger...

Ever since the 3.0 feat, every D&D ability named Hold the Line has continued to cause me to spontaneously sing out, “Love isn’t always on time!” literally every single time that I read the name...

Do you want plagues? Because this is how you get plagues.

Said in a Hans and Franz voice.

"You've invented the baked potato!" I think that it's clear that Mearls filmed this immediately before lunch. "...there's not a question of faith, it's a question of which team do you pick?" It's amusing to think of D&D Competitive Polytheism as basically a sports league with the players as...

Just work down from Gandalf being a Level 5 Magic-User...

That way, if you see folks with an avatar but a low number of posts, you can identify the long-term board-slackers! I mean...uh...hi new guys!

I hope that there’s a Pig Farmer subclass! That was my favorite D&D Miniature and it’s a piece of the game’s lore that needs to return!

If one character shows up with two 18s at level one and the concern is over balance, the answer is to reroll that character’s stats.

Freddie Mercury the Glamour Bard goes well alongside Brian May the Great Old One Warlock (studying the mysteries beyond the stars in between rocking adventures)...

We’ll see Jeremy’s face coming for us…in our dreams!
