No, just no. It’s not natural to build a shield out of an ankheg, it was probably down off table. If the player does something like that and fully describes what they are doing and leaves something out, hey that’s on them. It had no effect on game except to make it more fun, the player...

I will have to find it but I read a quote from a German PZIV crewman who thought the Sherman “isn’t so bad.” IIRC he liked: Height/visibility from tank, room in fighting compartment, gun did not extend to far so ease of use, ease and speed of turret traverse, ease of driving, performance on...

Look for books by Thomas L. Jentz for definitive accounts of Panther and Tiger Tanks and other German AFVs. Of particular note is the opinions in official after action reports of those who fought against those vehicles.

It is cancer. Ships is actually better. WoT just went to pot, they really drove it into the ground. Shame too, I have a pretty good account I wish I could sell.

I am not confused about warcaster. You can take OppAtt on your own turn, so if you have some effect that makes them move on your turn you can take an OppAtt also, using a spell if you have warcaster. An example is a Bard, cast Dissonant Whispers, force their move using their reaction, then...

The have a sub-forum so you guys can piss all over each other. Search “we don’t care.”

BTW that's a good DM. You wont forget things like that again and clearly you can make your own stuff.

And that discussion wasn't entirely correct. Watch here https://youtu.be/nk1Up4hXUko From Treantmonk: "Here's the cheat sheet: Spell Components: V: Can be cast with hands full V, S or S: If hands full can only be cast with the Warcaster feat V, M* or V,S,M* or S,M* or M*: Can only be cast if...

If you are only one in front your better off just being a full Paladin. I like Crown in those cases because you get Spirit Guardians, you slow them down so they cant get past you and you can also just run the area of affect over them or they can be pushed or pulled into it as damage is once per...

This is true, but people don't want balance, they want to just do whatever they want without restriction. I have been personally insulted on these boards for suggesting using variant encumbrance, which just so happens balances out the STR dump builds, in particular the medium armor and shield...

Ok, if you want to cut it like that you are giving them exclusive access to at least 1/3 of the feat. If it works for you and your group...

To encourage use of the feat, I changed the relevant feats to make them more usable like the old Power Attack. You can subtract up to your proficiency bonus to do extra damage: 1. Equal to amount subtracted (one handed weapons or hand crossbow) 2. 1.5x amount subtracted (one handed in two...

USA theories about conflict were actually born out as true. Tank vs Tank conflict is very rare now, and will be in future unless some advance in technology changes the situation. Its all about support for troops as communications has improved to the point where fire support is always on tap...

It depends on what your strategic and tactical requirements are. 1. USA had to ship everything over to fight, Sherman’s were easy to ship and could fit 2 side by side into a standard merchant ship width. 2. The USA understood mass production better then anyone at that time. The Sherman was...

For the spear users this is interesting BTW. It doesn’t apply in D&D but it’s still pretty neat on why Spears were used so often. https://youtu.be/uLLv8E2pWdk As far as pre-buffing, if you are not pre-buffing at least half the time then look around the table and figure out who to slap among...

This is also true. I only got to play one Vengeance Paladin, I always pick my PC last to fill out the group needs and Paladin is almost always as good choice. Every group almost always has enough damage dealers (especially with Hexblade out) usually the groups need more front line and support...

They all are focused too much on optimizing damage. There isn’t enough difference to matter at the table, just play what you want. I typically pick a style to match the mini I am using for that PC. Inspiring leader is one the best feats in the game, maybe the best feat. Heavy Armor Master...

Or just use the same wording as Monks for their martial arts, “when you use the Attack action..”

I just don’t use that interpretation, which has not made it into errata as far I know. It doesn’t make any sense an only hurts the game.

If you don’t enforce the rule then you are giving them exclusive access to feats
