May I ask why you would rule it that way? The regeneration ability says the troll dies if it starts it's turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate. Just curious what your take on it was that made Chill Touch not stop regeneration.

I used to argue with one of my old DM's about this. Previous to the errata that showed my stance was the correct one, I had brought up to my DM that the intent was for a magic bow to do full damage to a creature even the ammunition was not magical because of the way damage resistance is worded...

Hahaha, so true.

I don't hold Matt Mercer responsible for people's expectations in other games. Just likes others have mentioned, this has been occurring in many forms of entertainment for years. Made for TV and movie adaptations of the same characters ( take the superhero genre as an example ) usually vary...

Why does healing over a long rest bother so many people? Hit points are a measure of how tough a character/creature is. It's not merely raw physical damage sustained. It is supposed to represent much more then that. It's an abstract system meant to encompass more raw damage but still kept...

If you are playing a multiclass Warlock/Paladin with Eldritch Smite, is there anything in the rules that prohibits using both smites on an attack? I was just curious if I missed anything in the rules on it. Seemed like high damage potential for a single attack. Especially on a crit.

We don't really *need* any one race, even humans, for D&D to be playable. Some people have already said this, but generally it just makes sense to have races that fit the given campaign world as determined by the DM. Personally I like people to play whatever they want as long as it's not...

I don't think the spell is too powerful ( many 3rd level spells are powerful, but in different ways ) or steps on the toes of nondetection if you rule it as blocking scry. I always assumed it had a bottom before any clarifications via Sage Advice because it seemed obvious to me that the intent...

I interpreted the line of the targeting rules that said " A typical spell requires you to pick one or more targets to be affected by the spell's magic. " as an actual requirement. That was why I suggested the casting without seeing your target wouldn't work. Line of effect also needs to be met...

I think it says you cast the spell as normal when you ready it which means you need line of sight to the target when readying it. But otherwise the readying in cover thing would work.

That sounds very powerful. But as long as you are having fun that is what matters.

I picked 75/25 male, but it wasn't quite right. Group 1 - 5 males, group 2 - 3 males/1 female, group 3 6 males, group 4 4 males 1 female. Group 5 5 or 6 males 1 female. So more like 90/10.

I forgot a key point which was my fault. I meant focus firing before someone gets a turn even. In my experience if the npcs have different initiative, then it doesn't result in PC goes on 15, PC goes on 11, 6 Orcs go on 9, PC goes on 7 PC goes on 5. Obviously just an example, but the clump of...

I always disliked monster group initiative for reasons likes this. Not exactly this situation, but being able to more effectively focus fire is the usual one for me. Yes, they could do it if they hold actions but at least that is giving up something for what I consider to be a powerful option of...

For me it's a toss up depending on the character but I ended up voting for max stat to 20 first, only because it's usually a good thing for a caster and generally good for most characters. But it really depends on how you envision any given character.

Every so often I try to play my " Make Cloud of Daggers Great Again " warlock. Snatch up the two EB evocations for forced movement and in many fights you can toss an opponent, and sometimes multiple opponents in the same round into Cloud of Daggers repeatedly ( though not multiple times per...

If you like the character and like the way the characters interact outside of the religious aspect then I would consider having the character actually be drawing power from another deity but not realize it. Specifically a trickery god who delights in swaying the misguided and convinces them to...

I don't know the math on it really, but would a simple answer be to allow for two sneak attacks in a round, x times per short rest? This seems comparable ( once the math is tuned ) to ki points and battle master dice. Some types of rogues would have to give up a bit of the skirmish style during...

The two are not always exclusive even though many people treat it as such.

There's just some options you can't do without multiclassing. Luckily 5th edition is balanced enough that the initial set back up multiclassing doesn't make a character become a lump until the entire career path comes together.
