In my experience, the power of the sleep spell has been vastly overstated. It's similar to the Moon Druid issue -- at level 2, it's a definite noticeable problem. By level 5, it's pretty much a non-issue. Of course, this is all just one table's anecdotal evidence. The wider community may...

I haven't seen anything official. I don't think it would be out of line to treat the number rolled on the sleep spell as "damage" in this case. Just say that many (or whatever percent that was of the whole) fell asleep. So if the swarm has 30 hp, the wizard casts sleep and rolls a 15, then...

I had forgotten about this AP... I may mine it for some goodness myself, since the Isle of Dread adventures would fit in quite well with Chult.

My only issue with Codename: Morningstar is that it does piercing damage instead of a mix of piercing and bludgeoning.

To me, it's a bit like worrying about my performance at the tryouts to play professional sportsball.

I've skimmed it a bit, but hardly enough to really form an opinion.

IMO, breaking the rules of the game is kind-of what magic is for. But maybe I'm just defending it because I love the idea of the Animated Shield.

"The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw." Emphasis mine, of course. I think it's pretty clear that an immediate save is RAW.

Since the focus has moved to a couple big multimedia events/stories each year... I suspect that yes, saving the world is the new norm. As of now, I don't mind it. I suspect in a few years' time it will grate on me.

I've been toying with Kenku as well. This is my first draft. Kenku Abilities: +2 to Dex. +1 to Int. Size: Medium Speed: 30' Languages understands Auran and Common (see Mimicry, below) Ambusher. The kenku has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it has surprised. Expertise. The kenku...

If the PC spellcaster readies an action ... (sorry, couldn't resist) It's a valid point. Did you have a solution in mind?

I think so, Nebulous.

Seconded.

Because wizards should do just fine in the front lines? And without their spells, no less.

That's no joke. My players are 5th level and can easily crank out 100 points of single-target damage in a round when they need to.

Here's the difference: "Sidhe" start with 12+ HD and have extensive innate spellcasting. "Eladrin" start at level 1 and have the ability to fey step occasionally. In other words, it's the PC-minotaur problem. Usually a PC is considered to be among the best of his race. But in some cases...

I've chosen to use "Sidhe" for what were pre-4E Eladrin.

"Frog" was more of a WB thing.

Did you know Minor Illusion is one of only 8 spells in the PHB that doesn't require a verbal component? (I was looking into the viability of a mute bard. Prognosis: Terrible.)
