As one underwhelmed with some of the PHB subclasses and very pleased with many of the SCAG and UA ones I have a hard time understanding some of the complaints in this thread... Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

Rogues mix well with Arcane casters I think, but still agree that most classes have so much goodies that one would not want to multiclass before level 5. For the same kind of classes (full casters or not full casters) I believe it works better to multiclass earlier. My Swashbuckler 5/Dragon...

About the "it better be good" thing: I think that Crawford tweeted something indicating that he was sick and at home (on the level of a nasty cold or whatever). That might be part of why there was nothing last week. Then suddenly conventions and other travel which I assume messed it up for this...

Now I had a look at it. By "functions as" I would say the bonus is not included, or possibly that the bonus from e.g. Defender is included up to +3. But I see no indication that it should be more than +3 in any case. I think it should work by either rerolling any of the basic properties already...

I don't recall moonblades, but they might be relevant if I get started with my worldbuilding project. Is a moonblade from the more-than-legendary part of the DMG or from some other source? If they are from the DMG I might return with opinions on the original question after I've read it. Sent...

In the Forgotten Realms I guess Chauntea might be called on to bless a wedding or something, or Torm being asked about helping them staying loyal to each other etc. So I can come up with reasons for an acolyte PC to be asked for such assistance in the right campaign, but in general I agree with...

Weddings and burials are both things I would expect a priest to be able to handle. Burials do come up, while "I could perform a wedding too" might more come up as "I am not only a warrior". It could come up as part of winning the hearts and minds of a village. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN...

If it is a good idea depends on the goal. New players learning the game and should get a bit at a time, but you don't want one critical to kill the PC? Just remove instant death for levels 1-3. Worked well when I DMed LMoP with my (experienced) group. For SKT when we found levels 1 and 2 boring...

The flavour text of cleric includes "No ordinary priest, [what makes clerics special]" If you stress "ordinary" it reads as clerics being special priests. If you stress "priest" it reads as not really being priests. So if clerics are priests or not depends on what you/the DM/the group wants. As...

PHB is clear about not all priests being clerics. Whether or not all clerics are priests depends on how you read and regard the description in PHB. I would say it does not say that clerics are priests and also it does not count as rules anyway. But stressing a different word would make it say...

The holy symbol is there to say something about the character, it does not give anything extra in itself. It might give a cleric the option of having one symbol as an amulet and one on the shield. Mostly it is similar to the lucky charm of the sailor bakgrund, the signet ring of noble or the...

I think some monster consisting of parasites are explicitly called out as being killed by anything curing disease. So I would say yes on internal parasites. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

There are no rules written by WotC for 5e about this kind of thing. Maybe the DM Guild has something. Otherwise suggestions in this thread or rules for other editions are what you need. Personally I like the "pay for other costs+adventure hook" idea. Maybe even let the profit from time to time...

That and/or who gets to collect souls in what way and/or because they forgot why they fight and now just enjoy it too much to stop. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

They would fight. A shepherd would fight a wolf among its sheep, and so a pit fiend would fight a balor. A shepherd would probably also eat meat from time to time, and what meat is available... To OP: A party without levels where full casters get 8th levels spells should probably not stay long...

The option that is good for dual wielding and still get away from the target is the Swashbuckler subclass from Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. It even has a sidebar about how to get the most out of two weapon fighting. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

"Force of will" is charisma. A sorcerer wants something to happen or be true, and suddenly it is. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

There was a rules artifact in the feat (I can't find it since my book fell apart and was replaced) but there is also the actual rule. "The target of your grapple must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach." Start of second paragraph of Grappling, page 195 of...

I think I argued for Cha during playtest. I see no reason to not change it to Int if that flavour is preferred. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

Grappling is influenced by size. The is a rule about not being able to grapple creatures more than one size category larger than you. So becoming large instead of medium increases the number of size categories you can try to grapple with. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app
