    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    Look, if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that back in the day, if your elf didn't have a bagel to feed the carrion crawler under the drawbridge of the ruined castle, it was back to rolling 3d6 six times in order. Which is why 5E is the best system. Yet. QED. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

    Katana

    Except when the right answer is "Drizzt". Or "because Elminster".

    D&D 5E (2014) What's so great about Elminster?

    Ladies in multiple realties would go weak at the knees?

    Druidcraft and It's Many Uses

    And if you've ever adventured with a druid, you'd know that they're always puffing "wind" and both sound and smell like a small animal. So, this effect is redundant, really. :) Cheers, Al'Kelhar

    "Yuan-ti Pureblood Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer"

    Or good-aligned drow dual-wielding ranger?

    A player wants a Large character...

    Is he compensating for something? (And I say "he" advisedly...) :)

    A level 20 Wizard of each school vs each other in combat

    ... The conjurer summons a host of celestials/fiends/elementals to the fight, and goes to the pub... (Insert next wizard type and excuse to go to the pub ;)) Cheers, Al'Kelhar

    Wait, is THAT how that works?!

    In the 1E DMG and PHB, if I recall correctly, there are some tables of random things that have 24 items in the list. At the top of the column listing the numbers from 1 to 24, were the helpful instructions "d12, d6", implying that, in order to randomly generate one of the items in the table...

    Your Suspension of Disbelief: SHATTERED!

    If, by "immersion" you are referring to the dunking of something into a liquid, then yes, we can agree that immersion can be objectively measured.

    Your Suspension of Disbelief: SHATTERED!

    Yeah, I always give my bear a keg, cos' his paws are a bit clumsy for a mug.

    Does Dispel Magic banish a summoned Fire Elemental?

    Yes. The duration of the Conjure Elemental spell is "Concentration, up to 1 hour". It isn't "instantaneous". The spell does not have the instantaneous effect of calling forth an elemental that then hangs around for some time; it calls forth an elemental that hangs around for the spell's...

    Darkvision: Don't forget the Disadvantage & limitations!

    Yep, I've had to remind my table time and again. Me: "What light sources are you carrying?" Them: "We don't need light, we've all got darkvision!" Me: "OK. You know you all have disadvantage on Perception checks that rely on sight, right? And you know I love traps, right?" Them: "Um. Ok"...

    D&D 5E (2014) How strict are you with vision and illumination rules?

    Yeah, nah. Being able to see enough to avoid tripping over a log or walking into a tree is not the test we're after here. Put one of your scout mates 10m away (that's a little over 30 ft for you peasants stuck in the 19th Century) in that forest you're hiking through without flashlights and...

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM what spell / ability do you find most annoying?

    Letsee... that would be wood elf shadow monk with the mobility feat. Just stupid at breaking combats. Why anyone thought a PC that had a speed of 60+ feet, darkvision, at-will teleports, stuns, immunity to opportunity attacks and area of effect damage and access to a version of pass without...

    Wizard vs. Sorcerer: Which one would you rather play? Which would you rather be?

    Hmm, methinks this sorcerer is missing the point. But, that is entirely to be expected... :) Cheers, Al'kelhar

    Wizard vs. Sorcerer: Which one would you rather play? Which would you rather be?

    And therein lies the response of an Int 10 Cha Who gives a $&#@ creature. My wizard calls such lower life forms "minions". My Int 20 wizard has thought of all of the above before breakfast, and has 10 ways of dealing with each of them. Come back and talk to me when you've learnt to tie your...
