    D&D 5E (2014) Advantage / Disadvantage in 5e

    Sure, but isn't that kind of meaningless? You never get to choose between Advantage and a flat bonus IIRC. So you don't really have anything in 5E to compare the value of advantage to.

    D&D 5E (2014) Analyzing 5E: Overpowered by design

    You are correct, when discussing real life. However looking at Myconoids in the MM it appears that 5E classes fungi as plants.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is Warlock’s At-will damage As Intended?

    Once per ray is definitely correct. However, to nerf the silly 2-level-dips in Warlock I'll houserule that a ray can only benefit from agonising if you have the appropriate level in the Warlock class. i.e. a Warlock 2/Socerer 18 gets 4 beams, but only one of those would receive +Cha. A Warlock...

    D&D 5E (2014) Any reason to go Melee vs. Stay ranged as a Rogue?

    Sneak attack triggers "once per turn". RAW that means it can also be applied on others' turns when using your reaction, so twice in a single round. Melee allows AoO, netting you tasty additional damage - at least occasionally, more reliably with a Dissonant Whisperer or Commander's Strike ally...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Battlemaster pickup a disarmed weapon as part of his action?

    You'll need a free hand to do so, which should be sufficient opportunity cost along with using superiority dice.

    D&D 5E (2014) How might you fix the beastmaster's animal companion?

    d10 HD and can benefit from Hunter's Mark cast by its master.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does "Unarmoured Defense" work with Druids who are shapechanged?

    Assuming you increase your WIS as you level the Monk version is as good as the best possible Barbarian wild shape AC and usually better.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does "Unarmoured Defense" work with Druids who are shapechanged?

    It depends on how your DM rules, and it may vary for different forms - see bolded section below.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is Missing from 5E?

    There are no self-sealing stem bolts.

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I the only one that dislikes Adventure Paths?

    I guess DMs can run an adventure path yet tailor it enough to allow player freedom, but it requires a lot more work and doesn't seem to be common.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can you like both 5e and Pathfinder?

    Only the Sith deal in absolutes!

    More on SWORD COAST LEGENDS: Campaign Tools & Starting Races

    I think an important aspect is going to be if the game allows/facilitates DMs sharing their user-made campaigns. If it does allow that it'll be a big feather in its cap from many CRPG gamers who loved NWN. If not they're gonna be royally pissed and many will probably refrain from purchasing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mounted combat.

    You can use a Lance in one hand and you probably have better movement speed.

    D&D 5E (2014) How WotC will approach the campaign settings?

    It's unformatted because it's a first draft. It's like the playtest documents...

    D&D 5E (2014) Multi-single-classing

    I didn't say it was impossible, just problematic. Responding to your assertion that it was something that a character could do at any time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can you like both 5e and Pathfinder?

    Of course people can like both. I don't. PF has nice adventure paths etc. but the rules of 3/PF are just too arcane and the bloat isn't attractive either.

    D&D 5E (2014) Stealthy Spellcasting in 5e

    Sorcerers with the Subtle Spell Metamagic are obviously the best at this. I'd also allow a Sleight of Hands check to try and do Somatic components without others noticing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warcaster, polearm master and learning to love the optimizing?

    War Caster is slightly specific, adding a new way to use your reaction AoO. Reach/PM interaction is much more specific, working with a handful of weapons and requiring a feat.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warcaster, polearm master and learning to love the optimizing?

    Specific Beats General, PHB 7. If we're going down this route please provide reference, book and page which says determining how to use a Reaction is a multi-step logic-free process.
