Because they have a class feature that allows it? It works out to be about 12 miles per hour. Why should monks catch arrows and throw them back but not rogues? Why should wizards cast spells but not fighters? Because they are all abilities the classes have.

The crit factor is what makes inflict even more scary imo.

If it fits the behavior of the character to do so I see no problem with it in a game. It's a part of playing a character. Not all characters do what others want them to do. However you need a table of players who won't take it personally, but that is on the players and I wouldn't fault the...

There's nothing prohibiting the revivify from working as normal according to the spell description since you said you were within the time limit. I would opt for the first option because the spell would return him to life and there would be no unfettered spirit remaining to be the specter...

As it is worded it should be fine. The benefit duration isn't until you release the weapon, only the effect of the benefit itself. I don't see an issue with it really.

For a month or two, my old Adventurer's League group did an all cleric group but we wrote down all the domains and each one of us picked randomly. It was amusing.

I wouldn't allow it since it isn't legal and it makes you be on the look out for things that were not intended. As an example, multiple bonus actions allows spiritual weapon to be twice as powerful as it is intended to be, which is already pretty good. Far Step is another spell I really like...

From a rules standpoint I guess it would work since Sharpshooter doesn't state you need to make an attack roll, just apply a penalty to it. Your choice to use Sharpshooter is made before you make the attack. If that attack hits, add 10 damage to the attack's damage. When you make the attack, you...

Technically I believe it can't finish the forced movement since movement still costs double as you already stated. I don't know of any rules for forced movement that change that.

I wouldn't have it be a die roll. Too random for my tastes. But to each their own. Losing control of your character because of a background facet that didn't involve something more sinister like having been brainwashed by a cult feels like too much to me. That being said, I would have it either...

I liked it overall. I don't really do size comparisons for books because the big three had a lot more to cover. The book is pretty much exactly what I expected which was as others have said for the most part, UA material changed up a bit and some extra tidbits.

What I am about to say falls in line with the " Derek may pick up on the attempt" line of thinking. I didn't see anywhere that rogue's player said that the rogue went out of his way to hide his displeasure with the necromancer. Since that seems to be the case, I think that it would be very fair...

My PHB ( which may not be current with the wording ) says when you use a spell of first level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level. I thought casting a spell and using a spell were the same thing. The goodberries...

I think Unicorn Spirit is overpowered also under the same logic that the Disciple of Logic/Goodberry combo works ( which I never agreed with personally since eating a goodberry has nothing to do with using a spell ). Goodberry is the spell that keeps on giving. Even if you disagree with the two...

I'm surprised people felt the need to defend Constitution, or were boggled by the suggestion of it being a dump stat even after I pointed out that the OP was obviously trolling. I do like the idea of attaching more skill uses to it as some people mentioned since it has none with the...

Trolls be trolling.

That is the way I think is best too. My comments earlier were just about what the rules say or don't say and how they interact pre-houserulings. I use those as the standard for rules discussions because houserules can vary greatly from table to table/game to game.

I still believe that the standard is rolling in full view of everyone. The second line of the dice rolling section is " Rolling in full view of everyone is a good starting point." The bullet points after that are potential reasons a DM might want to hide a roll, but the standard is to roll in...

To my knowledge the AC hit by an attack roll is not secret information. Nowhere in the making an attack section of the rules is there a step " Do not reveal the result of the attack roll. " I know this won't sit well with some people who believe the attack roll results need to be secret but...

I don't care either way personally. It's not my game. The player of the warlock and I were talking about it and I realized as far as I could tell there wasn't a reason you couldn't "double smite". I was curious if anyone knew of a reason. I didn't realize the playtest material was made without...
