    Season 8 will switch to the Organized Play rules presented in XGTE

    It's my understanding that you can't bank treasure points like that, you have to spend them as you get them on tier-appropriate gear.

    Season 8 will switch to the Organized Play rules presented in XGTE

    I'm not at all connected to the AL in any official capacity, but do introduce lots and lots of players new to AL, and sometimes new to 5th edition, to the game via Adventurer's League. The current system has too many moving parts to hit new players with, both in terms of minutiae to track, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Guide: How does identifying a spell + Counterspell work?

    Yes, I think it that rule is quite silly, and far too granular for my taste, so I will carry on not using it at my table and in my games. I never let my players identify spells mid-flight before, and I'm not about to start based on a suggested rule. Counterspell ought to be blind, and that's...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Primal Path and Why it is OP

    They still make death saving throws as normal, and die if they fail three, right? Successful attack rolls and other sources of damage will count for failed saves, when they're still conscious at 0 hit points. It's perfectly plausible for the barbarian to take enough hits to kill them during a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does "Nondetection" cancel out see invis?

    I run it the same way. Nondetection renders you undetectable by divination magic. A creature masked by Nondetection and invisibility isn't revealed by see invisibility or detect magic or detect thoughts or true seeing. I wouldn't have the players' adversaries use such a spell combination...

    D&D 5E (2014) Where did the 6-8 encounter standard come from?

    So, I really do like the "6-8 encounters per long rest" benchmark, because in my experience, running only 1-3 encounters per long rest heavily favors classes that rely on a lot of long-rest-refresh resources (like paladins, barbarians, and most casters) over classes that use mostly...

    You can don the heavy armor in five minutes if you have someone assist you.

    AD&D 2E Is 5e Basically Becoming Pathfinder 2e?

    Pathfinder is Third Edition D&D. And Fifth Edition D&D draws far more heavily on Second and Fourth Edition D&D than it does on Third, so.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hand cannon?

    Same, tbh. That be my recommendation also. What's an exotic weapon, in the context of 5th edition? I'm not sure what you mean.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pedantic pet peeves

    "Skill checks" There's no such thing as a skill check in 5th edition. They are ability checks, and anyone can make them whether or not you're proficient in whatever skill is attached. (Which is a distinction worth making for my table, cause I play with a lot of folk who only played 3rd and...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Author or Authors are your biggest influence in the Fanatsy Genre/D&D

    My games are most heavily and directly influenced by the worlds and stories of two authors: Laurie J Marks (Elemental Logic series) and Ursula K Le Guin (Earthsea series). My games set in the Forgotten Realms also draw heavily on the world-building, tone, and narrative approach of Erin Evans...
