Are two untyped damaged considered to be the same type? That seems debatable to me.

Why would all instances be negated by a single save? You roll saves separately for each instance, AFAIK.

If you're building yourself out to have a decent maneuver DC, it's not going to be that easy. Plus if you are, for example, a low level adept using this, the 1d4 is the same damage as each of your attacks and those can miss just as easily as someone can hit the save on this. I really don't see...

But it does stack. Heck, AFAIK each wound is unique, so you could do it multiple times. You use a bonus action once and every round until the creature saves or is treated (there is no stated expiration for this particular one), that creature takes 1d4 damage that requires no further action from...

It seems intentional to me. The target doesn't make any save when hit by the attack, so they make the save at the beginning of their turn like with most ongoing saves. This would be the same for all sources of ongoing damage (at least the ones that specifically call it out as "ongoing damage")...

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

I know I am maybe being that guy, but... I just dug through all 8 playtest packets and having ability scores be tied to your background was not in any of them. You did get bonuses from your class at one point, though, but I was specifically commenting how suspiciously close to A5E the new setup is.

From today's Wizards Presents, Chris Perkins says: "For example, characters currently receive additional Ability score points based on their lineage or species - however, these increases are now tied to their Backgrounds in the updated ruleset, and every Background now also provides a Feat...

I know the post I'm quoting myself for is from April, but... Oh hey: D&D One: Dungeons & Dragons Dropping 'Editions', Developing VTT Tools - IGN. I am shocked. SHOCKED, I say! /s

When you fulfill your Devotion destiny, it says, "...the first time you are revived in this way, you gain a +1 bonus on all future attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws." There is no provided expiration for this feature, which implies that you only get the +1 once (as opposed to an...

Same. One of the problems with O5e was that it was far too easy to bring people back to life with no consequences, so players might be more reckless in combat knowing that they could just be brought back if things went wrong. On the one hand, it encourages riskier options, which is neat, but on...

No, you didn't say that, I was just expressing concern about the future since PhilBest had said that there were entire classes currently not in the SRD. If the intention is to include the eventually, that's great!

Hmmm, I do hope there is at least a plan for getting non-SRD things into Foundry at some point. One of the big draws of Level Up for me and my friends is not having to deal with the nonsense of practically everything being non-SRD for O5e. If Level up is going to follow a similar system of...

So it's an ability, but it specifically says the Mouthless One can then cast the spell. The implication being that they are taking your spell and casting it back at you without having to spend their own slots.

Question about the Wrest Spell ability: can it be counterspelled? I mean I actually think it's better if it can be since the original caster would end up losing a slot for the original spell and a slot for counterspelling it, but I'm just curious what the intention here is.

In order to even read a spell scroll, the spell must be one that you can cast: "If the spell is on your class’ spell list, you can use the scroll to cast the spell (taking the spell’s normal casting time) without the need for material components. Otherwise the spell scroll is unreadable to you."...

Thanks, that is good to know. However, that first one specifies "as if you knew it," so that makes sense to me, but the others aren't terribly clear that it is you casting it and not the item. Would be nice to have a line in that Trials and Treasures section on using spells from an item that...

We're nearing the end of our O5e campaign, so the DM is starting to throw all kinds of fun at us and we got to wondering whether or not metamagic could be applied to spells cast from a Staff of Power. All the wording of metamagic and sorcery points seems to imply that it should only apply to...

Not sure how any of that suggests I was off the mark, but okay. Those are all the things I called out as liking, so it seems you are agreeing with me.

Lichmaster said most of what I want to say, so I'm not going to rehash all of that, but the main things that my friends and I are excited about are: In O5e, pretty much everyone does everything. I know that is a positive for some people, but there's so little that separates each subclass and...
