I would expect it to be similar in damage to a dagger, so probably 1d4 slashing using dex or psychic damage using Int for attack and damage. Now I kind of want to see Occam's Razor as a wizard cantrip...

Do you have an expected level interval for the campaign? For the Starter Set adventure (level 1-5) I would say "be a longbow using wood elf druid of either kind" and be done. For a campaign starting at level 5 I would consider if it would be too frustrating having one longbow attack per action...

From reading the class description and monster manual I would expect the warlock to get problems at high levels against some foes (the terrasque and Tiamat have been mentioned, the Rakasha is another example) immune to most or all of the warlock's spells. But other than that it seems to be more...

A "save" for half damage would not be acrobatics, so it avoids some of that confusion. And I imagine a scenario would be Dex (Acrobatics) to balance on the tightrope, Dex save to catch the rope if you fall and then full damage when you hit the ground unless a spell or being a monk says...

Oh, they have stats? And yes, I think that the intelligence they do have is enough to get them to a location. Identifying someone they haven't met several times beyond "I like the one with the whistle" is too much. And I base my posts on what I remember of Ashes of the Tyrant. Skickat från min...

I think the snakes are intelligent enough to go to a location when told to. There they will listen for the sound of a specific whistle and go to the person using it. They are able to carry a very small note with them, so they are a bit like a very slow "sending". Writing the note would probably...

The fey I find in monster manual are dryad, a couple of hags, pixie, satyr, sprite and blink dog. I guess the hags are enough to justify it in a gothic horror context. The monstrosities were on the other hand very common, so I think it could be overpowered to have them included (but they are not...

"Basically" as in they work as manoeuvres: yes. "Basically" as in can be picked by the battle master: no. Skickat från min Nexus 6 via Tapatalk

And then maybe I would not have bad first impressions of everything using superiority dice (although I've come to realise that I like how it was implemented in the latest UA). Skickat från min Nexus 6 via Tapatalk

Have a hand free, disarm the enemy spellcaster, take the focus and prevent spells with material components.

Regarding ranged trip attacks: if I remember and understand things right they are great for bringing flying enemies to the ground.

In the Starter Set adventure (Lost Mines of Phandelver) there is one room with guards off duty playing dice. It is explicit in the adventure that if characters burst in the enemy is surprised. Seems like what you've been doing too. And since hearing the dice requires a check while listening at...

Have they put a new corrected version? The one I saw had corrected skills and partly equipment but not the language.

I have declared the witch hunter to be OK in a game I DM and we freely loot other systems for things like bonds between characters. But for actual rules I don't allow any 3PP and I likely won't use such adventures or other DM material either. Basically thus far it's only the Core books, SCAG...

What usual prohibition against poison? Unless other oaths have specific tenets against poison the use of it is as allowed as for any rogue with the assassin subclass. Nothing in the Oath makes a thing more it less evil. However, the Oath might make something evil more or less allowed. For an...

For Eldritch blast I think it can be assumed that Agonizing blast is in use, so both rays would probably be 2d10+6 rather than 2d10 at level 5. I haven't decided if I think allowing multiple rays of EB in warcaster is too powerful as a ruling, but would in any case probably allow using one ray...

I could agree with you there. I still consider darkvison less interfered with by light sources, and I understand you as saying Devil's sight is not interfered with at all. So my overall point is still valid (and I see nothing in your post trying to argue against it).

Seems I'm late to this thread, but can't resist commenting anyway. I get the impression that some consider dim light to mess with darkvison. Since darkvison makes dim light act as bright light within the radius it obviously does not interfere. Devil's sight had been stated to be intended as...

Is it page 42 of the 4e DMG?

I like the comparison of druids wearing metal armor to vegetarians eating meat. Makes it easy to understand and easy to when considering if one wants to change (either as player or as DM not caring about that part of world-building).
