Exactly, though I would not use the words "go unused", I would use the words, "are unavailable", unused suggests it was somehow optional. We do agree, I never suggested it was superior to Healing Spirit. In fact, I've brought that up several times. My point was that it was comparable as a...

We have varying DM's with our group and are running multiple campaigns. It seems to break down as follows: Me: houserule, 1 round out of combat short rests. 2 short rests can be taken between every long rest. Anders: Has adopted my houserule Ed: houserule, one minute short rests. No limit on...

Could they reference be to the "casting on the defensive" mechanic from 3rd which required a check to be able to cast in melee without provoking an attack of opportunity? I can think of no other way previous D&D editions required "skill checks" to cast spells. I would add previous editions had...

OK, let's consider those. Exactly true. You have those HD with or without Rope Trick, however, when you are in a dangerous location tends to be when you need them most, and when they are the most difficult to access. In a standard dungeon crawl, it can be extremely difficult to take a short...

Did I do something to you? Why the nasty tone? You are incorrect. You only get 1/2 your HD back on a long rest. I said you only get 1/2 HD back on a long rest in my post when discussing the downsides of Rope Trick. Since it's clear you didn't read my post or you would have known that, I...

I'm watching this as well. The Kickstarter was crazy. He was asking for 50 grand and got over 2 million dollars.

I would say being out in the open for a minute is a downside. I would say that not recovering all the short rest recovery items is a downside. Yes, there are downsides the other way as well. I am not arguing that Rope Trick is the superior out of combat recovery spell. I do argue that Rope...

Actually, that is not the case. D&D involves 3 different kinds of D20 rolls. Ability checks, Attack rolls and Saving throws. Not a skill check. A skill check is an ability check. Attack a monster requires an attack roll. If it's a melee attack, it requires a melee attack roll If it's a...

Imagine a 5th level party. That 5th level party has 4 members. A Wizard (con 14), a Fighter (con 14), a Bard (con 12) and a Druid (con 14). Now, the party is in a tough fight. Lots of damage taken by PC's. Lots of resources used. PC's are in bad shape and need to recover before the next...

Sigh. "A short rest is a period of downtime, at least 1 hour long" PHB. Jeremy Crawford wasn't making up new rules or rules interpretations, he was reminding us what was already in the PHB. Wasn't trying to. Just pointing out that Coffee Lock doesn't work with RAW as is unless, as...

There are actually multiple (both infamous) examples: The one that started it all, including the Cavalier Paladin (which was particularly awful), the Barbarian (which destroyed the rest of the groups magic items - you know - great for fun gaming), and 9d6 ability score generation. The 3.5...

This varies so much from player to player even in single groups. My Friday group has a couple players who really get into character, others who are more interesting in roleplaying as a chance to discuss their work lives with their friends. It ends up being a chaotic mix of the two, which is...

Honestly, Healing Spirit isn't gamebreaking either. Clerics can heal, but in 5E they are not anywhere near unique or even arguably the best in that function before Healing Spirit hit the page. Wizard/Druids were always pretty amazing healers, using a familiar to deliver goodberries to downed...

Not RAW. RAW + VERY liberal DM interpretation. Here's some relevant information that kills coffee lock. Short rest duration Time between short rests 5E has been written to be much more resistant to loopholes than 3.5 was

I'm afraid I don't have a record of that. I can show you what the character looks like now: GALATAR

OK (4.5x3)+(4.5+4)+(6.5x2)=34.5 Yes, good call, I don't know what happened there. Yes, it will be less, as will assuming 100% hits on abilities that require "to hit" rolls. This is with a character posting a non-impressive +7 to hit at level 9 (assuming 16 or 17 dex), with no chance of any...

So 3d8+3 x 2 without someone else casting haste on you (already concentrating on shadow blade) or 45 damage on average assuming hits at level 9. A 5th level cleric beside him wades in with spirit guardians (3d8) a spiritual weapon (1d8 +4) and toll the dead cantrip (2d12) for 57 average...

Fair enough. Blood needed for the circle then.
