In my opinion, Druids tend to be at one with nature and revere it. Monstrosities are at odds with the natural order of things and are a bastardization of fauna*. I would prefer that Druids only be allowed to transform into Beasts, no matter what Doric did in the movie (although, a specific...

I never said anything about what made it "useful to [me]." I never expressed any opinion about it whatsoever. Clint claimed that "the monk doesn't get to benefit from their own stunning strike, which is just adding insult to injury." I merely mentioned that the Monk can, in fact, benefit from...

Unless you use it on the first attack on your turn, then you'll get the benefit on subsequent attacks on your turn (and at 5th level, Monk's get Extra Attack to go with their FOB)

Just a friendly reminder that this thread is about a potential Psionic spell list, not yet another argument over the pros and cons of Short rests.

I've been thinking about this Warlock vs. Wizard power comparison. So I did a little fiddling in Excel and created the following: The YELLOW section is the Wizard Spell Slots and what I call "Power Level" which is just the cumulative total of the number of slots times the slot level. The GREEN...

There are 2 main ways to tank: High AC - Have a high enough armor class that enemies can't do damage to you. How many hit points you have isn't as important if your enemies can't penetrate through your armor to deplete them. High HP - Have a high enough pool of hit points that enemies will...

In that case, maybe they should call them Beat Down Points

Are there Verbeegs in 5e? I don't recall seeing them in any of the various monster books.

I'm starting to think that they should just roll the Hunter subclass features into the base class (similar to how some people want the Battle Master to be incorporated into the base Fighter class).

Upon revisiting Wither & Bloom, I realize that Land's Aid is pretty much exactly the same. The only difference is how much healing is done (2d6 for LA, target's HD + Druid's spellcasting MOD for W&B) and the fact that one is an upcastable spell while the other is a subclass feature that...

Well, that's what I get for hastily skimming through the threads because I'm so far behind :(

Wait a minute, are people assuming that, because the Smite spells are cast after hitting a target, they can completely ignore the rule of 1 spell per turn unless one is a Bonus action and the other is a Cantrip (which paladins don't get)? As far as I know, that limitation still applies unless I...

This would be a more valid argument if Rangers were full-casters who relied solely on their spells to be effective. But Rangers are half-casters who have many tools in their arsenal; spells are just one of those tools. Both have their uses. Hunters Marks seems like it would be more useful...

When I read Land’s Aid, my first thought was that it reminded me of Wither & Bloom. Not exactly, but a cousin thereof.

I wouldn’t be making death saving throws for every enemy. But if the players explicitly say they want to keep one alive for questioning or ransoming or something, only then would I make the saving throws. That certainly makes more sense than a player running an enemy through with a sword...

I think I agree with you here. Especially since reducing a target to 0 HP doesn't immediately kill it. If you reduce a target to 0 HP, it should be unconscious and entering death saving throws anyway. All that would need to happen then is to have someone make a medicine check to stabilize the...

If it can be done in a video game, like Solasta, I don’t see why it can’t be done in a VTT.

IIRC, “grit” was used in Pathfinder for the Gunslinger mechanics (similar to the Battlemaster’s Superiority Dice). Matt Mercer even ported it over for Percy’s Gunslinger subclass when CR converted to 5e. I wouldn’t mind if WotC borrowed that for new Fighter mechanics. They might need to...

…… The assertion was that D&D Fighters were not “earthlings” and that certain fighter abilities (like Second Wind) had no real life equivalents. Why it was only given to one class and no others was not even remotely part of that particular discussion. So I don’t know why you’re grilling me on...
