We folk who don't think Rope Trick is a "healing spell" heal just fine without it, thanks. If anything, it's the folk who think it is a healing spell who are the weaklings, needing to hide away in some extradimensional space just so they can regain the mojo that anyone else can regain just by...

No, no, and three times no. The DM "lets" you short rest if, when you say "we try to rest up here for about an hour", the DM says "sure" - wherever "here" is. A short rest is just something that occurs when an hour goes by and nothing really happens. Leomund's Tiny Hut creates a hemisphere of...

Says who? Where? I take it this is either a joke or a troll. I haven't seen this description of a door in any official product, and even in maps, doors are depicted at whatever size the map drawer considers appropriate. Many commercial mapsheets scaled at 1" = 5 feet have "typical" doors...

No. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

The effect of Goodberry is to conjure 10 magical berries. It is not to heal. Each of those berries can be stuck up your enemy's nose, if you want. The spell itself does no healing whatsoever. (Yes, I know there's some Sage Advice out there to the contrary, but I value Sage Advice about as...

Hmm, it's not a situation I've had to adjudicate in 5E, as no PCs I've DM'ed have had such an ability, but I don't think I'd use passive Perception per se. I might, for example, roll a reasonably easy DC Int check (with advantage, to represent the PC's special ability), and if the check is...

Well, when the structure/hazard/trap/object is "out of the ordinary, in the particular circumstances"! ;) So, for example, passive Perception might help spot the trip wire stretched across the dungeon hallway at shin-height, because such a thing would be a typically unusual thing to see in the...

So, really quickly: I agree with the approach of categorizing secret doors by their relative significance to the interest and/or success of the party and plot. More significance, more likely I'll devise ways in which the PCs will find the door. I also don't use passive Perception as a...

I interpreted the OP as referring to a "tower-o-dice", i.e. dice stacked one on top of the other, such that they are liable to fall over, noisily, and scattering dice all over the table and floor, at the slightest bump or burp. Of course, those devices you drop your dice into the top of in...

It's heroic if the halfling is wearing a Holocaust Cloak.

As I think has been stated, lots of the mean monsters already called out have significant "save-or-suck" powers. But how about the boring old xorn? AC 19 4 attacks at +6 for 3x claws 1d6+3 and bite 3d6+3 Can't be snuck up on (tremorsense), hides in plain sight (stone camouflage), and pops in...

Oops, sorry, double post.

I get a surprisingly positive response to the "I run over monks" sticker on the bull bar of my ute. Can I park in the disable car park, too?

Poison (plus blindness). "Acid" damage in D&D seems akin to physical damage to structure from highly corrosive substances. While I'd suspect spitting cobra venom feels like it's "burning" the victim's eyes, I also suspect it's not literally melting them. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

No-one wins an internet rules argument. Except Mike Godwin. And Chuck Norris.

Um, that's creative. I doubt any amount of discussion would convince you otherwise, so as we say Down Under, "yeah, nah". Cheers, Al'Kelhar

What's that you say? A broken clock is correct twice a day? Who'd have thought? (PS in case it's not obvious, I'm just taking the piss). Cheers, Al'Kelhar

And even if your DM says "yes", your PC has to burn one of three attunement slots for this schtick. I'm not sure there are many 17th level warlocks who can't find better uses for their attunement slots. So, I'd say "(a) no, they're called bracers of archery for a reason; and (b) why would you...

Problems with magic items? Maybe just have half the party fall into the pool of boiling magma, including the character with the bag of holding containing all the party's loot and consumable magic items. Ain't no magic item gonna survive a dip in molten rock (or a character, for that matter)...

Hmm, I rarely get involved in these lovely back-and-forth discussions, but I must admit that this got me a bit stumped. You do realise that every feature of a character in 4E was in the nature of a power and every power in 4E was in the same format and relied on exactly the same mechanics...
