That’s not an answer.

Did you read the new books yet?

Hmmm, I don't really think this will end well.

Exactly! It's like someone giving your opinions on a movie because they read reviews of the movie. It doesn't really add to the discussion.

I think it's totally fair to be part of the discussion with different opinions and insights. It's just that the game isn't in the book, it's what happens at the table. When one opinion is influenced by their weekly game, and the other by experiences a decade ago, it's hard to take the latter...

I don't really care. I play at my table the way I like. WotC doesn't decide my enjoyment of the game. My guess is they replaced enemy with creature because of some style agreement.

RAI is right there: Combatants watch for enemies to drop their guard. If you move heedlessly past your foes, you put yourself in danger by provoking an Opportunity Attack. I understand you can read the rules otherwise, but I won't do it that way at my table.

I feel you. Especially at an age where AI slop has infested the google search results...

Double post, ignore

It would be harder because the rules state that OA’s are for foes. I know they changed the wording, but the section is 100% clear on the intent.

Yeah, the building monsters section is baffling. My only hope is that it will be in the MM because they didn't have space/didn't have the math figured out yet. Then again, if I think about the time spent on number crunching CR and how I know just reskin a monster, this short section might...

I’ve just hit the chapter on adventure building, and so far I really like the book. I don’t see myself not using it, but I will be honest and say that the book is a bit shallow. It wants to cover a lot, then do bastions, then do lore, then TONS of art… which leaves less room for details. I...

If only. Still, it's nice they gave an example campaign setting.

With the mindset that this DMG is made to teach people how to DM? Reskinning is probably just fine. What would you take out of the book in order to make room for it?

The 2014 DMG Monster Creation rules were really, really bad. But why? There was all this math and all these long lists of features and calculations and tables? I am a monster tinkerer by heart, have been since I was young. When I started DM'ing back in 2018 I loved the complex building guide...

Can’t imagine anyone believing this is fair use.

Yeah that is what I am seeing too. There are also some damage increases on higher CR monsters.

There literally is no way to please you, is there? Why is it a jerk move to make a better book for new players for the edition of a game that has seen the most new players ever? They even make it better for everyone else, since it's better organized. At some point you must understand that this...

25 years, what a shame. From what I've heard their toys division is having it rought for a couple years now.

If the designers had the freedom to make such decisions, the game would not have looked like this.
