Oh, I do. Still, there are folks who, for whatever reason, don’t want to deviate from the published rules. I think for them it is important to distinguish between the rule and the advised interpretation of it. Using the Shield Master feat as Hriston interprets it (and in accordance with Jeremy’s...

It doesn't, because the role of Sage Advice is not to tell you the "correct" way to interpret anything. Sage Advice recommends an interpretation that is largely consistent with the recommended interpretation of other rules. Since he doesn't know your group or your game, Jeremy is not in a...

I'm pretty sure I've seen warforged with arm cannons in 3 or 3.5. Was that not a thing?

Is there a means described in this supplement that can help me determine whether or not a player character is successful in seducing a compatible NPC, and whether or not that seduction will lead to, for example, obtaining the secret info the PC is seeking?

I suppose the big difference is that no one owns Romeo and Juliet. The performance of a 1950s hot rod version of a Shakespearean work does not in any way prevent another troupe from performing it in a way that is more faithful to the original work. The refusal of WotC to open the Greyhawk...

Funny, I don't know anyone who didn't think you could take the shove when you wanted. Crawford's initial (and in my opinion, correct) tweet simply confirmed what we all already supposed was the intent of the feat, specifically that you could shove before, after, or between. I have never...

I do care how the rules say to resolve something, certainly. Your group comes together to play a particular game, and you should generally follow the rules of that game unless you agree to modifications of them. What I'm saying is that in circumstances where there is ambiguity, I will choose the...

The rules say "You choose when to take a bonus action during your turn, unless the bonus action’s timing is specified..." which suggests that, absent other provisions, you can take your bonus action any time you please. There is no express provision allowing you to use a bonus action during your...

In every role playing game, whether on the tabletop or a video game, there is a conflict between the rule system and the fiction it is modeling. To create a rule system that was a realistic simulation wouldn't just be difficult, it would be a waste of time--no one wants that kind of...

And my point is that you totally can do it that way, as evidenced by the fact that Hriston and I both did it that way before I simply house ruled away the Attack Action requirement. (I'm only assuming Hriston still does it this way.) Also, not to put too fine a point on it, but doing it this way...

Sure, and the "other feature" here is the Shield Master feat. All I'm saying is that you can consider the action (Attack Action) and bonus action (shove) together. You don't have to: you can increment your way through the turn like you're assembling a bookshelf if you want to. I obviously think...

You know he's not confused, you're just being snide. His point, which is valid in my opinion, is that being a DM ideally involves taking what a player wants his character to do and resolving it using the rules, not setting out arbitrary limitations and conjuring extra timing constraints. If a...
