You know what guys, I typed "tunnel" but I meant "burrow" speed. There's big difference between just moving through the ground and leaving a tunnel. The only way OAs make sense to me in 5e is to treat them just like 3e and 4e. If you're making an attack with a weapon that has a reach of 5 feet...

Over the years there's been plenty of discussion about the effect of fly speed on games. Some DMs are fine with 1st level PCs having it right out of the gate (aarokocra, tiefling variant, etc) while others prefer it be limited in order to shut down encounter-circumventing tactics. In 4e, flight...

Obviously, that makes much more sense! Too bad you had to buy a splatbook in 3.5 to see a torch in a cave. ;)

3.5 PHB page 183 - "A heavily obscured area—such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage—blocks vision entirely. A creature in a heavily obscured area effectively suffers from the blinded condition (see appendix A)." Darkness creates a heavily obscured area, which blocks vision and also...

Ironically, the first thing I thought of when I read the OP was a thread about how the 3.5e visibility rules technically made it impossible to see a torch in a dark cavern. Squares of darkness provided concealment that you can't see through, effectively making a torch with which you have direct...

It really is pretty obnoxious, in play. I was in a game with a devil's sight warlock and a shadow sorc. We played up to level 12 and guess how many times we were able to use the darkness trick to get advantage? Zero. Not one time was it tactically advantageous to pull off without messing up...

I think counterspelling a counterspell or provoking an OA and using shield are probably the only times I've seen someone need a reaction on their turn but, yes, you're right. Up thread they're talking about getting a polearm opportunity attack on your own turn though, which is I can't even...

You're not casting counterspell on your turn though.

I know that fairies went all the way up to human size in folklore but the halfling-sized fairies feel like a lame cop-out to me. The 4e tiny pixies were a little awkward mechanically but they were so much cooler as an option than giant gnome fairies.

I've got mixed feelings about this. On one hand, the art looks great, I'm sure the budget is great, and it's from people who are essentially legends in the RPG world. On the other hand, everything about this gives me a, "I forced a bot to look at 10,000 hours of D&D pitches and this is what the...

'Cause we're living in an invertebrate world And I am an invertebrate girl You know that we are living in an invertebrate world And I am an invertebrate girl Living in an invertebrate world And I am an invertebrate girl

I'm just stick to death everything using spell slots and the same master spell list from the PHB. I like supernatural stuff like the echo knight, the psi knight, and the runeknight, but what makes them stand out so much is that most of the 5e subclasses keep going back to the well over and over...

I think there are a ton of classes that would have been more elegant as 3/4ths casters with more features as opposed to the mix that we got for nostalgia's sake. A 3/4 necromancer class that got baked-in undead building would be better than a wizard subclass with 99.9 the same stuff as every...

Making the Feywild into Oz is exactly what I did in 4e. I ran a post-apocalyptic campaign where mankind's pollution of the Earth had reached a certain threshold and the eladrin finally came across from the feywild to teach them magic in place of traditional technology. Corporations wound up...

Maybe it's not exactly what you're looking for an elf, but I would be interested in seeing a broader set of senses present in racial stat-blocks - Darkvision - see in the total darkness, but in greyscale Infravision - see heat. See through invisibility and concealment but you're unable to see...

Is this the Patrick Swayze version or the new one where North Korea invades?

The game just does not need ability scores at this point because the core d20 mechanic makes them irrelevant. Your Initiative doesn't care about your Dex score. Your Perception doesn't care about your Wis score. Your ability to hit with a spell doesn't care about your Int score. The DC of your...

I was a freight conductor and I've been next to an elephant at the zoo. The train is bigger than an elephant.
