    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Giant Soul Sorcerer

    I wish the enlarge feature came earlier than 14th level; most characters I see never reach that high, and "bigger" seems important to giant-kin.

    Second Dungeons & Dragons Product for Fall 2018: Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

    So it tracks characters with 12 hp or lower?

    Wielding a weapon should increase your AC

    Yet it would seem the odds for 2 fellows with the same Dexterity attacked with swords would be sharply different if one was unarmed and one had a sword of his own.

    Wielding a weapon should increase your AC

    If a guy comes at me with a sword, and I am unarmed I probably die. If a guy comes at me with a sword, and I have a sword I have a chance. If I have a sword, but someone shoots an arrow at me at range I probably die. If I have a bow, and a guy attacks me with a sword I probably die. It seems...

    Wielding a weapon should increase your AC

    I’m no expert, but it does seem that 2 people fighting with swords would very often use their sword to deflect the other sword.

    We have always used text and have seen no drawbacks.

    The Next Dungeons & Dragons Storyline Will Be...

    It looks like the heist will be to steal the Infinity Gauntlet.

    D&D 5E (2014) Text-play

    We have dice apps on our phones that work well enough. I used to have some players that I had concerns about not seeing their dice rolls (they would even take pictures of their roll as if that would prove it), but I trust my current group. And I try to avoid major plot points or life and death...

    D&D 5E (2014) Text-play

    As a DM I've been loving keep our weekly campaign going by using text messaging (we have started calling it text-play) to continue storylines between sessions, making splitting the party and having solo adventures free of meta-gaming. I think it started when I got tired of players missing and...

    Making A Wish Creates New D&D Monster In Mordenkainen's

    Your title led me to believe casting the Wish spell might create a monster as an unintentional side-effect of something from MtoF.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana May 2018: Centaurs and Minotaurs

    In a fictional world such as D&D, to make absolutes that proclaim some things are okay in regards to humans (just one a multitude of the player race options) different than animals and monsters is opinion. Sometimes you have substituted "person" for "human." Mechanically, because this is a game...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana May 2018: Centaurs and Minotaurs

    I would think cutting off the horns would be the first thought; thinking through other options may not be something they have time for or consider worth time if they had it. As for cutting off horns being time-consuming and full of effort, it seems like swinging a sword at a horn would be much...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana May 2018: Centaurs and Minotaurs

    Are the Monstrous Adventurers in Volo's Guide monsters or people? I think the answer can be both. It seems like you use the word "monster" to define something that is not a person and then say it's not easy to judge where the line is drawn. If that's the case, why bring up monsters in this...

    The minotaur horns would be the more obvious weapon, especially for less intelligent enemies, and doing many of those other actions you mention would cause the victims to become more trouble than they are worth prisoners who bleed everywhere, are not be able to feed themselves or answer...
