    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Flail be a Simple Melee Weapon?

    Do you think it might have been a duelling weapon? They did like the weird and wonderful for duelling weapons.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Flail be a Simple Melee Weapon?

    The flail is, of course, an agricultural implement so I'm wondering why it's listed as a Martial Weapon in the PHB. Perhaps reducing the damage to 1d6. And how about adding a Great Flail, a two-handed Simple Melee Weapon doing 1d10 bludgeoning, ignores shields, and usable with the Polearm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Extra Attack +1 feat

    No. This steals a class feature.

    D&D 5E (2024) Idea for starting ASIs, three way split.

    Drop stat boosts entirely. Humans get two feats plus skills / tools; all other races get one racially appropriate feat plus racial abilities.

    Ooh! The Teeth of Dahlver Nah could be the teeth that people gave him in case they needed to be Reincarnated. Only he died first...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reincarnation thoughts and problems.

    Then there's opportunity for fun. DM: Jane, Eric the Cleric has just been crushed by that trap. Has his story ended? Jane: Hell no! Dave the Druid can Reincarnate him. I'd like to play a centaur...

    D&D 5E (2024) What form might subclasses take in 1DnD? (+)

    I want a short-rest based full caster class.

    Dragonlance Do you plan to buy Dragonlance?

    I'm going to be very interested in leaks about this product. I enjoyed the original Dragonlance but I absolutely hated all the changes they made. Indeed, my preferred time period for adventuring in Krynn would be between the founding of the Solamnic Knights and the first War of the Lance.

    D&D 5E (2014) Line or Cone, why aren't there any breath weapons with a Burst Area of Effect?

    This is your excuse to create a cool monster with such a breath weapon!

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you ever seen these weapons used regularly by PC's in a D&D 5e game?

    I think you need to consider the technology level of the campaign. In a Roman or Migration Period campaign you're not going to see greatswords because they're beyond the technology of the time, but greataxes are not. And you're not going to see full plate armour either, and because of that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Heat Metal Spell. Unfair to Heavy Armor Wearers?

    Of attack spells, Meteor Swarm has, I think, the longest range of 1 mile.

    D&D 5E (2014) Heat Metal Spell. Unfair to Heavy Armor Wearers?

    Right. Well, I'm binning that for attack spells that require LOS to target when I next run a game. Thanks. I think I'll refer you to the above. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Heat Metal Spell. Unfair to Heavy Armor Wearers?

    Do you have a cite for that? The spell's range is 60' so surely if either the caster or the victim moves outside 60' it ceases to have effect? Sure the caster can maintain concentration in case the victim moves back inside 60'.

    D&D 5E (2014) Heat Metal Spell. Unfair to Heavy Armor Wearers?

    Has Ray of Frost as a possible counter been mentioned? Also, the spell in the PHB has a range of 60 feet; I would say that going outside that range would break the spell. So no casting the spell and running away. You also have to see the target so going around a corner isn't an option - without...

    I thought that while you can Rage in heavy armour you don't gain any of the benefits?

    D&D 5E (2014) What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    Consider feat-only campaigns.

    D&D General I don't think there's interest for stats below 8

    IIRC there was an article in Dragon on this subject. 'So you rolled a three' or similar. Anyone care to delve through their collection?
