    WotC's Nathan Stewart Reveals Ravnica's Druid Circle of Spores

    You shouldn't have to be relying on halo of spores every round. With the little damage Halo does now, it's not a big loss. If you have the chance to raise multiple zombies, heck, 1 zombie will do more damage.

    WotC's Nathan Stewart Reveals Ravnica's Druid Circle of Spores

    This change is terrible. They actually weakened the damage. It used to be 3, 6, 9, and 12, and of course doubled, which made it very useful.

    WotC's Nathan Stewart Reveals Ravnica's Druid Circle of Spores

    Zombies get a saving throw on attacks that would kill them. Since Spreading the Spores does little damage, they should have no problem on the save unless you roll bad.

    Creating an artifact that scales in ability with character level

    You can give the character a legacy magic item. There may be rules in Xanathars for them, but they gave them to DMs who ran Tomb of Annihilation and the AL adventurers that season. Basically, you choose what it is (i.e. a sword) in tier 1 it is an uncommon magic item, tier 2 it turns to a...

    Using Wands/Staves and Misty Step

    The action of using a magic item is not the same action as casting a spell. They are 2 distinct and different actions. The magic item is casting the spell NOT YOU. It's the same as using a potion. The potion is giving the spell effect, NOT YOU. You are not using any verbal, somatic, or...

    Using Wands/Staves and Misty Step

    I would even argue you can use spell like abilities and cast a spell since they don't require any components to cast.

    Using Wands/Staves and Misty Step

    This is wrong. Using a magic item is it's own action, so casting a spell and using a magic item will allow you to technically cast 2 spells in the same round.

    Wizarding Rituals Are Weird (Especially When Multiclassing)

    There is something stopping it. You can only write spells into your spellbook that you can cast as a WIZARD. The spells you know as a bard cannot be written into your spellbook nor can you understand a spell that is beyond your limit as a wizard, even if you have the same spell as a bard. The...

    Wizards wanted to fire us, so can we fire them for setting laziness

    This is why it's their default world. It's the most fleshed out world with the most characters, the most stories, and any of the campaigns from most of the other settings can easily be converted. Unfortunately for settings like Dragonlance and Dark Sun, after the main campaign, the setting...

    Wizards wanted to fire us, so can we fire them for setting laziness

    Yes. Well not burned, but ripped up and thrown away.

    D&D 5E (2014) Making an Atropal Miniature

    It would've been cool if the umbilical cord was wrapped around its neck, like it choked on it.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your Ravnica Guild?

    Gagori Swarm or Rakdos. There's a class I want to play with the Gagori, or if I play another warlock, it would be Rakdos.

    Would you allow an extra background instead of Feat?

    This can work with my scenario, but not particularly yours. I say this because you're forgetting that there are skilled and experienced characters in the world. Anywhere from traveling mercenaries and adventurers, the town guard or some nobleman's army, or even active and retired adventurers...

    Would you allow an extra background instead of Feat?

    If I were to run a level 0 game, it would be the prequel to the campaign. But it should be limited to a single session. Like you were all living in the same village and it get gets attacked by a giant, or dragon with its army. Have some NPC heroes help fight off monsters while the PCs and...

    Would you allow an extra background instead of Feat?

    I don't see level 1 characters as having experience. I see them as being trained. There's a difference. A person who graduated from basic training or the police academy would be the equivalent of a level 1 fighter for example. They make it part of the characters' background also. Since...

    Would you allow an extra background instead of Feat?

    I never saw the point in starting characters at lvl 0. Is this supposed to be 10yrs before the characters decide to become adventurers, or do they all of a sudden magically acquire the skills that they should've spent years of training before starting the adventure when they reach lvl 1? Or...

    Faerie Dragons and Nimble Escape

    I understand your question. The difference is, turning invisible is not the same as hiding. Just because you're invisible, it doesn't automatically make you hidden. People can still hear you (with a perception check) and attempt to target you. When a goblin for example uses Nimble escape...

    AL setting hopping

    AL already said that Eborron characters weren't going to be legal. I understand people want to play in campaigns and AL, but I think they should have different characters for both. I have no problem with people playing adventures from different seasons because AL has no timeline anyway, and...

    AL setting hopping

    From what I hear, artificer isn't in the book yet, but when I playtested the UA version, it was pretty ridiculous. Add in Dragonmarks and the warforge, and you can see how things can start to get unbalanced.

    AL setting hopping

    I think no, mainly because of the lower creep. But I would be interested in the idea if it does happen. I've been contemplating a warforge ranger or warlock (pact of the blade).
