A "surprising" number of my friends have made homebrew worlds where every elf is on fire... I quite like Tieflings and Dragonborn, but I can see the argument that they end up a bit too "monstrous" to have wandering around in many D&D worlds. This is itself somewhat debatable. When I put them in...

Bard is obvious but... Monk. You can make unarmed attacks without ever needing to put your fiddle down.

Short answer: Some people just like playing them. Someone people don't. As for a semi-reasoned breakdown. Roleplaying a religious character Some people very much enjoy roleplaying religious characters, it serves as a very useful hook, drive and characterization of behavior. Of course you...

It's upto the DM, but typically after a long rest or adventure. Tends to be done at the end of a session/between sessions so not to cut into play time

"But Mooom! I'm a rogue assassin!

... This is quite practical but in my head I can only think of it like a mum attaching a child's mittens with elastic so they don't lose them.

I more read it as Chill Touch has a *different* effect on Undead i(If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.) BECAUSE all (or almost all) undead are resistant or immune to necrotic damage. Does make it very good for the...

Ran a year long campaign for 6 players, all new to 5E and 3 of whom had never played any tabletop RPG before. Used no feats/multiclassing and everyone was human except a dragonborn... who appeared human and started manifesting draconic powers alongside being a dragon sorcerer. I reasoned that...

This thread title did make me realise how odd the term "rogue assassin" is: "Did our agent successfully assassinate the bishop?" "Regretfully not sire, they went rogue." "Damnit! Why does this keep happening?" Despite the fact that the Hand crossbow has the light property, Rereading the rules...

Esp. when a lot of high level powers allow you to act quicker, and hence make more checks. A high level fighter gets to attack multiple times per round... and hence has a higher chance of screwing up per round than a newbie.

It's somewhat up to the DM to determine exactly how they want to handle this, there is nothing specific for exactly what happens when the party is sleeping. Personally I would myself rule: The ambushers make a Dexterity(stealth) check vs: Anyone asleep: Passive Wisdom(Perception) with...

Apparently not. Not sure if Rules as Intended, but amusing.

Do you impose spellcasters to have the components for a spell? How do you manage it? First principle is to simply encourage communication between players and the GM about what the idea for the game and what they want to do. If the GM and the players feel they're in conflict, then chances are...

A number of Monk Weapons are finesse weapons anyway (dagger, dart and short sword), so already qualify for Sneak Attack. And Sneak Attack can only be applied once per turn. Anyhow. (Extra points if you find ways to use Sneak Attack from your Reaction on another creature's turn... like the Way...

One trouble with that is Blinded grants advantage on all attacks againsted them This can be very punishing, and entirely out of character with Toph. So I'd argue that grounded enemies within the Tremorsense or Blindsense of the character do not have advantage to attack or impose disadvantage...

Well, I'm currently playing a Iroh inspired Monk alongside a Zuko inspired Monk so.... :P Do you want Blindsight or Tremorsense? 'Cus Toph most definitely has Tremorsense! (Actually she has far more than that at times) I don't know of any player method of getting Tremorsense, it's mostly in...

Very much agree with The Banana Internal party player vs player CAN lead to awesome moments that are treasured and remembered by everyone involved. But very very easily lead to resentment between players and it breaking the game. Some people enjoy PVP, other people really hate being part of it...

Well they kinda do although it's in the Monster Manual errata:

The updated phrasing for werewolves is: From the Monster Manual errata: http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/MM_Errata.pdf Since it's a spell, it appears to count as magical to my reading.

Lanliss is correct, to my knowledge a Sprite's Heart Sight is the only thing in the game that directly detects alignment. (Made a list of Alignment based mechanics here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?474120-5E-The-few-mechanical-implications-of-Alignment) Detect Good and Evil...
