Fill the empty rooms with visions/hallucinations of the fall of Argynvostholt. I narrated Argynvost's final moments in the Foyer.

I was going to ask why you think an elephant would be better, but instead I'm going to back away slowly then run, never to return.

This is not accurate. For one, the Unconscious condition is black-and-white explicit that "an unconscious creature... can't move." So when you say a flying creature knocked unconscious has not had "your ability to move taken away," you are verifiably wrong. Secondly, this rule makes no mention...

Here's a way to do it... Ok, let's assume that the cart, a vehicle designed to haul cargo, is a good baseline for deriving our capacity coefficient. A cart is designed to be pulled by one draft animal, so we can assume that it is also designed to handle the full carrying capacity of that...

I read it as saying something different from what you describe: you can't apply a specific type of resistance more than once to quarter or eighth damage. For instance, a tiefling couldn't use Fire Shield in order to double dip on fire resistance. This notion was actually mentioned in the Horizon...

Wagons are significantly more luxurious.

While I certainly agree that WotC needs to do a better job wih their rules, I am fine with this. The creatures without hover are generally those with wings; it makes sense that you fall if you stop flapping your wings. In the case of the fly spell, I buy into the idea that the flyer will just...

This is not accurate. The rules note two situations when the flyer does not fall: when it can hover and when it is held aloft by magic. "If a flying creature is knocked prone, has its speed reduced to 0, or is otherwise deprived of the ability to move, the creature falls, unless it has the...

These are essentially homebrew races. Your best bet would be to try balancing them against the monster races in Volo's Guide. That'd give you a decent framework for assigning bonuses and features.

Well there you go. It seems that you knew what you needed to do all along. Now take your lumps, reroll a new character, and maybe not try to fight the high level monster with a friggin' artifact for an arm next time.

Don't do that.

See? This lack of creativity on your part is going to get your group killed. I am saying you should either attack him when he is weak or disadvantaged, or use the opportunity to steal something of his he values to then barter/blackmail for the artifact. He doesn't need to sleep, but he might...

So he's literally going to cut his own hand off if the players win the challenge? That sounds a bit odd. But anyways, he has to sleep sometime. You guys can investigate where he lairs and either go gank him in his sleep or steal his spellbook/something else he values.

Your first step is to determine whether or not you actually need the artifact. This might be an avoidable encounter. Even if you think you need it, your group should brainstorm ways to complete your quest without it. Perhaps there is an alternative possibility that you all missed. Aside from...

I seriously have no clue what you think I was implying. I was just responding to another guy who thought it was limited to the "publisher's tournament format" and didn't know it had been listed in Xanathar's for personal use.

My PCs solved this problem by going to Curse of Strahd's Amber Temple at level 6. That definitely knocked them out of their easy-mode mentality.

I agree with the notion that it is dumb to tie attack-like maneuvers, such as grappling and shoving, to skill checks as opposed to attack rolls.

Meh, I'm not a fan of something that lets a PC swap out ribbons for Great Weapon Mastery. I could easily see Totem Warriors dumping their ribbons at levels 6 and 10 in favor of combat feats. Instead, why not simply let PCs swap out class features for similarly powered class features of other...

This is now a rule listed in Xanathar's in its appendix, albeit it is an optional rule. It is no longer constrained to AL. That book even specifically calls it a "rule."

Nah, I didn't do anything mechanically. It was fun enough insisting that the doughty cleric of St. Cuthbert act like a little girl for the duration of the session.
