    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB Feats and Misc discussion

    Tweaks I might make: Add the following sentence to Savage Attacker: "In addition, when you score a Critical Hit with a Weapon as described above, instead of rolling the damage dice for the Weapon a second time, use the max value for the Weapon's damage dice and add that as extra damage to the...

    In the second paragraph of the Rules Glossary: "If a term doesn’t appear here, use its definition in the 2014 Player’s Handbook."

    D&D General "As DM I have Created a Homebrew D&D setting which I have Used for Two or More Separate Campaigns." (a poll)

    Same-ish world since 1E. It evolves with each edition change, including a few historical ret-cons, but mostly from the same starting point (which originally borrowed a lot of the politics and characters from the 80's Micronauts comics, if not the actual setting.)

    It's also Twitch (so basically, Amazon)

    Ardling. Tiefling. So are Halflings half angelic/demonic?

    Tremorsense seems like a reasonable "all dwarves have this semi-magical ability" to me, but Forge Wise definitely feels like a cultural thing that could vary by individual.

    Told by who? I don't recall any official mention that it would be the case, and I really didn't expect that degree of compatibility to ever be the case.

    It's weird... Surprised is treated like a condition under Incapacitated, where you get Disadvantage on Initiative. But it doesn't have its own entry in the Glossary. Kind of like being Paralyzed means you also have the Incapacitated condition in the current rules.

    Yeah, this is a rules update, not just a supplement with additional material. To expect everything to be 100% compatible so people can use both PHB versions side-by-side is a bit of a stretch, IMO. Adventures are a different story.

    In the video discussing this UA, it's mentioned that classes will have some of their own unique spells still in addition to their "core" list.

    Upon reading "Adrling" I've now decided I don't like it or "Tiefling", which always had a ring of cutesy-ness to me. It's like "fingerling", an immature form of something. I think I'm going to go with Nephilim and Cambion for those races (though traditional Nephilim and Cambions would still be...

    There's a good chance they may bring in some of the rules from Xanthar's regarding toolkits and crafting, though.

    I understand it as clerics and paladins (for example) both use the Divine spell list, but each class may have additional spells specific to them. So Eldritch Blast might still be a Warlock cantrip only AND can't be taken by anyone else using the Magic Initiate feat, which is limited to the Big...

    But I'd say the Forge Wise is in the same category as "good at mining". It's a cultural thing, despite the fluff text trying to make it a lineage trait.

    D&D General Gen Con, Daisy, Sleeping in the Lobby and All That

    I guess I'd ask, did your training use the word "embarrassment", because in common usage, it's simply not as strong of a word as "shame" or "guilt", which I believe is the point Umbran is trying to make. Even if a victim says they're just embarrassed, it's generally a stronger emotion than that...

    I know it's really cheap and easy to get branded playing cards, but is that even a real picture of the deck box? Or is it like their stack of SFNG books a while back that didn't really exist?

    But what's the point of blowing the dogwhistles? Often, it's to get one's "base" stirred up to make a lot of noise about Something Else.
