The only thing controversial is that you're stating your opinion as if it is a fact, but other people disagree with your opinions. I disagree that the PHB and DMG have serious organizational issues - organization is probably the most widely praised aspect of the books in various online...

I think it's really important for the DM to decide which type of cosmology they are using and then to stick with that approach to keep verisimilitude, but as a player I don't really care as long as things stay internally consistent. Between cosmology, pantheons, and the general world map...

Because he started a thread asking about it? By definition he does care, how is this a question?

Hexcrawl exploration is such an uncommon niche playstyle that I would be shocked to see more than a passing mention in the DMG. I see it mentioned online all the time but I have never once met a person in real life who has ever played in a Hexcrawl campaign. I actually am surprised there are...

Every campaign I've ever played in had trips at some point to multiple planes other than the Prime Material Plane. Past maybe level 10 or so, what can you even do that is challenging? Either the players visit other planes, or denizens of other planes start visiting the players. Either way, I...

I directly said that I might be misunderstanding what you meant and that I apologize if I misunderstood - that is hardly pouncing and calling you racist. I'm not sure what you mean by "the second part" or "engaging with the question", so I'll go ahead and bow out rather than risk further...

Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. I'm not clear whether you're being sarcastic or serious, but it's quite jarring on a website like this that preaches diversity and inclusion that someone could argue that medieval Asian culture doesn't belong in an adventure about knights in shining...

An approach I have considered but never put work into implementing is to remove Bonus Actions by making them free actions that just happen automatically under certain circumstances. For examples, see how Vow of Enmity and Sacred Weapon were changed from Bonus Actions in 5.0e to automatically...

It is impossible to prove you wrong that you personally prefer to play without dice rolls outside combat, but I can very easily prove you wrong that I greatly prefer the 5e Rules As Written with skillchecks to determine success outside combat. I want character builds and characters' abilities...

People are still clutching their pearls over gambling? What decade is this?

I voted "Other" because I wouldn't have a huge problem with your scenario as a player, but I wouldn't really like it much either - it just feels really unnecessary and doesn't sound like it would even add anything interesting to the story. If you want to preserve the mystery then just don't...

Looking at their page on MyMiniFactory it looks like the default size for these is approx 50x50mm (so large). If not, you can usually just scale the size up or down in your slicer without too much difficulty. Also there's no real reason that Large creatures HAVE to be 2x2 on the map. I...

Nope I definitely don't see it at all, and I'd be pretty annoyed as a player at a table that banned something so average. It's your table though so I don't need to agree

I'd take +1 to all saving throws over +1 AC, but there's no wrong answer really

Rune Knight or Echo Knight? Rune Knight is ok but it's not any more powerful than most Fighter subclasses. I've never heard of anyone banning Rune Knight, that's crazy Now if you meant Echo Knight then yeah, the Critical Role subclasses are not balanced very well and are often banned

It's pretty easy. Assume all abilities that recharge on a Short Rest are available every combat.

I don't really like Treantmonk's calculations, he assumes too many combats, too few short rests, and doesn't really optimize the builds at all. I do really love the way he presents things and shows all his assumptions and math though, many times I'll still learn something D4 Deep Dive...

I thought this way as well until a guy in my campaign now paired Champion with Elven Accuracy and dual-wielding for a whole bunch of attacks. The numbers still don't end up overpowered or anything, but he can generally count on getting multiple crits per combat so it's solid DPR and super fun...

The question is very poorly worded but I get what they're trying to ask. No one has a preferred amount of PC deaths, but most people probably do have some preference on how difficult the encounters are, which then determines how often the PCs end up happening to die. I interpreted the question...

If I were in charge of designing things, then high level Class and Subclass features should be powerful and something that you would actually care about missing out on if you multi-classed. Right now, the only powerful features gained at high level are 7th, 8th, 9th level spells. This is the...
