The value of the shield varies on how 'available' AC is in your particular game. How soon can your characters access studded leather, breastplate, half-plate, and plate mail? Are you playing with feats? How plentiful are magic items? Can you pick and choose what items you receive? Is the...

The damage is sub-par, the value of the spell is that someone on the enemy team might waste an action ending the effect.

Just Guardian of Faith. Which is an autonomous angelic manifestation sent by your deity, so it makes sense that it can respond to movement.

No no, you misunderstand. My issue with Hypnotic Pattern is that it doesn't have a 'save every round' clause. I like spells that have saves at the end of every round. Like I said, it's a stylistic nit-pick. I'm not sure how I'd rectify it personally, but I wouldn't want to change it in any...

Well, sort of. Hypnotic pattern doesn't have subsequent saves, unlike most over incapacitating spells in this edition. It's not overpowered, it either fizzles or ends the encounter. I'm not opposed to my party winning a battle with a single stroke, but this spell in particular leads to...odd...

Having run the game regularly for four years years now, i can say that hypnotic pattern, eldritch blast, and the four cantrips they added in SCAG are my least favorite spells. Both in terms of design failures, and in terms of at-the-table use of them. Whether as a DM and as a player. Sent...

If you are unwilling, or unable, to simply talk it out with this player in the hopes of modifying this behavior, just tell them to hit the road. They are already infringing on your other players' fun.

Looking at the Mystic playtest just makes me sleepy. I already learned the ins and outs of one spellcasting system that 9/12 classes in the game run on, and the thought of having to run games with a brand new system for casting your spells (sorry 'manifesting' your 'psionics') that only one...

Four stats at fourteen or higher? I haven't had difficulty hitting those benchmarks with point-buy. With 27 point-buy, a human can start with 16 / 14 / 14 / 14 / 12 / 9. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

My money's on Clanless Mehen's Guide to Parenting. Forget the planes and the fancy fourth-tier nonsense, I want a down-to-earth guide to Realms as experienced by the people living in it.

It's my understanding that new spells have been confirmed, but no word one way or the other on new feats.

You won't find set DCs for wilderness hazards, or specific rules for what is and isn't possible while wearing armour. Fifth edition isn't as simulationist as previous ones. That said, if a player tried to swim in armour, well, if it was the sort of swim where anyone who attempted it would...

Is it even possible to finish Curse of Strahd at a low enough character level to qualify for starting/playing Out of the Abyss?

I'm planning to weave Against the Giants into my current game of Storm King's Thunder. Currently though, my copy is on lend to one of my players because she wants to try her hand at running a more traditional dungeon, probably Forge of Fury. My partner wants to run Tomb of Horrors as a stand...

Ohh, what's going to really bake your noodle later on is when you realize 'object' and 'creature' are entirely subjective quantities in the game rules, defined largely in a narrative sense, that nevertheless have pretty explicit rules built on the distinction between the two.
