    D&D 5E (2014) What Rules do you see people mistake or misapply?

    I find 1/2 acover hard to keep track of since I do not use miniatures or boards and it would bog down the game since I do not have minatures so I ony use full cover. That is also why I would never use the optional flanking rules. I understand why most people ignore it unless they have minatures...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Green Flame Blade is Over Rated- And You Are Doing it Wrong.

    On an EK it is great at level 3,4 free side damage nothing to lose only one attack until level 5. Then starting at level 7 until level 11 (warcaster) it is a no brainier to use GFB or Booming blade every time unless you have the polearm feat.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Matter Of Initiative

    I gave up on D&D standard intitiave and went to the Popcorn method or a version of it anyways and it has made the games more fun and kept my players more engaged and no compliants from my side. It also allows the players to do a quick stragety which they find fun and sometimes causes ruffles at...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Returns to Monthly With Some Revised Subclasses

    Better and I like that you get more weapons with level and now in melee you get your bonus martial arts attack still and it is not Martial weapons only which is good; this is a better version even without 2 handed heavy weapons being no longer an option

    D&D 5E (2014) Crawford on Stealth

    I do it a hybrid like finding a secert passage you have to actively look preception and that passive preception is for things that you would notice because you are expecting notice chest was moved because of a dust streak or object moved in your home that type stuff.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonstandard Races You Love And Want Back

    So i come from old old school mainly all D&D and 1e I play a lot of Human; outside that Elf and Half Elf. Just not a fan of playing the small guys like Halfling or dwarf though it be funny to play a Multi class Barbarian/Fighter strength based dual wielding halfling with dual short swords or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonstandard Races You Love And Want Back

    While I did not have all the fancy races back in my days the only one they really added was the Kender yes I am old and was around during the Dragon Lance Era I laugh at your forgotten realms. To be clear I do not want the halfling wannabes back.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nerfing Great Weapon Master

    Like I said that was one session but that is the entire class theme is built around criting and being simple it has just under whelmed and EK surprised me a lot on verstiality and its effect on the game.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nerfing Great Weapon Master

    My expectation was that the EK would be ho hum but they were accutaly way more tanky than I expected with shield/AE and starting from 7-11 with the SCAG adding greenflame blade and booming blade they get a nice extra damage buff until that 3rd attack comes into play. Now Battle master was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nerfing Great Weapon Master

    Champion even with GWM gets out classes by EK or Battle Master in every game I have played the extra 5% in crit does not make up the difference because the others still have 5% chance themselves to crit. EK's are better becuse of shield and absob elements and things like Blur all great for...

    Some have done a -3/5 instead of -5/10 I was going to test it just to see what happens but my players wanted nothing to do with the change and only one person in their group had GWM or SS, I was just curious how it would effect the play but at the end of the day if my players are fine with...

    Which Samurai error matters as while what people do not realize they use to have massive two handed swords they used in battle called that basically translate to field sword, spear bow and Cavalry the Katana became the standard in fact the whole Bushido and stuff came later that was done when...
