You can of course give Bob membership in the Knights who say Ni and that nice magic crystall ball to the wizard, mixing and matching boons and items. That can be especially useful, if some players enjoy items more and some more are more into "internal" stuff. I really enjoyed the flexibility in...

I'm not sure that prestige classes are useful. They were used for several reasons in 3.x a) Make a mechanical inferior concept viable (Dagger Master) b) Allow for better multiclassing (Mystic Theurge) c) Offer specialised concepts related to a class (Oracle) d) Allow for a specialisation...

Last time, we have used a Facebook group for coordination and live documents (like Google Docs) for content.

I thought about the same thing myself.

I think it is a very important part of making knowledge skills relevant. It is the only part where Knowledge skills can be reliable. Of course, as a GM I can use knowledge checks to make known certain elements of the plot, but that doesn't have the same effect. After all, everything the PCs need...

What are the typical abilities of Draconians? Apparently it's not breath weapons.

That's a form of Stake Resolution, explicit stakes, implicit couter-stakes. From what you describe it's similar to The Pool or Primetime Adventures.

Yes. I'd be totally OK with going so far as psionics using spell slots. It doesn't really matter what the underlying mechanics is. Plus the spell slot method already prooved rather flexible. But more important, I'd focus on the specific strengths and weaknesses of psionics. - No words or...

You probably can use magic items, armor etc. You just need someone to put them on you after you transform. Other than that, it is a very viable thing to do. It's a 4th level spell that combines the effects of flying, water breathing, change in size, a huge amount of temporary hit points and...

[/LIST] That is not what concentration means. Concentration has very clear rules. Disadvantage on checks is not one of them.

Repeating your words doesn't make them any more true. That is a general rule. Besides you are in the "Character Builds / Optimisation" forum. If you are not interested in these matters, look elsewhere.

"Soft charm" is not the right concept in 5e. There are spells that apply the Charmed condition and those that do not. One of the spells that apply Charmed is Dominate Person which used to be a Compulsion.

Having a target drop prone is alright. It could be done with Shove action. And you are right, Command does not imply the Charmed condition. So the Doppelgänger is affected.

I can't remember names of NPCs I make up.

Yeah, I interprete it as your metaphysical passport save. So it does not apply to Zone of Truth because lying, but because you won't comply with the metaphysicsal rules of that zone, i.e. no lying.

Keeps the general rule: No advantage without action. Seems alright to me.

+1 to attack, would be my guess.

Sheet says Marthammor Duin, right where it says Life Domain.

That is correct. You could invent a Spell Sniper feat or something.

Not in PHB. Probably in DMG.
