    How many C&Ds has WotC issued for 5E?

    All of them. For the good on their hobby! ;)

    Will D&D make strength matter again?

    Thinking about it, for our lot at least, dropping Strength has not been an issue. We work with a Theatre of the Mind style of play, using various digital tools to mock up before & update maps on the fly. Anyway, wondering why, reflecting on the sessions, I've noticed: - there's a lot of...

    [UPDATED] Most D&D Players Prefer Humans - Without Feats!

    Feats? Some? None? A few? For one? As always, like in life, playing well with others is learning to respect their rules - in D&D, for our lot a least, its about respecting the rules of the table. Nobody should be forced to accept someone else's playstyle. And nobody should be forced to play a...

    Mike Mearls Happy Fun Hour: The Warlord

    :hmm: If we're throwing ideas around, I'd imagine the Warlord with some kinda aura that requires Concentration to maintain - barking out commands, monitoring the ebb and flow of battle, barking orders. While active it grants a bunch of boons and benefits, with the greatest of them ending the...

    Idea for D&DBeyond

    Highly unlikely they'd go for it unless enough people stop subscribing. Most folks that I know that are ok with subs simply don't worry about them - they have the cash, it's not even the price of a beer/month. Personally I don't like subscriptions, even tho I can spare the change. I have paid...

    Halfling Subraces; what're the possibilities?

    I basically want molemen. Well, molehalfmen..lings. Molelings! Burrow through soft earth, great darkvision, light blindness. Fondness for world domination.

    Idea for D&DBeyond

    Isn't it run/made by Curse? I think they want their slice. This setup gets them their slice.

    Editions of D&D you have played the most in your life

    2nd, started with and learnt from during secondary school. 3rd towards the end and through uni times. 5th since its release. ..yup, seems about right.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats: Do they stifle creativity and reduce options?

    Sure. I mean, if only by way of, - if someone else hasn't come up with a solution/rule/mechanic already then you're going to have to come up with it yourself. In a world without, say, Alertness as written in the PHB, if I wanted an ability that represented something the same or similar I'd...

    How often would you say it's appropriate to use the Guidance Cantrip?

    Character - ''Dear my various gods, guide me!'' VARIOUS GODS - SERIOUSLY? AGAIN? ALREADY? OK FINE - SURE, HE'S PROBABLY BLUFFING. PLAY THE TWO KINGS.

    Distract drop invisibility?

    To be fair, with regards to RAI, one thing that needs to remembered is that 5th edition is an update as much as an original work. There are many aspects of spells, classes and rules artifacts have been included for as much as 'legacy' and to maintain familiarity. As such, trying to assess the...

    Distract drop invisibility?

    Ya see, this I can get behind - its your take on RAI. Personally I reckon there's got to be at least one magical creature that loses its Invisibility when it attacks in myth or legend but hey, if that's what you want to go with.. The rest, again, is RAW. Well, it is what is is - for some a a...

    Distract drop invisibility?

    Well aye, and especially as the OP was asking with regards to AL, which my understanding is all about the RAW!* I do love JC's work, though his stubborn refusal to grow a beard along with Mearls is disconcerting. By RAW, I like to think we know the answer. I can parse a text and follow the...

    The Monetization of D&D Play

    Heck, I'd be of if folks charge money for DM'ing.. ..assuming they're willing to do the work to obtain a DM Liscence. ..and we can leave feedback at some kinda DM rating site! Also applies to gaming store - they better meet a certain standard if they're charging for anything other than space!

    Distract drop invisibility?

    So he clarified what an 'attack' is by way of the rules. RAW Great! I think most of us kinda knew this already, but hey. What I'm asking for is a clarification of intent. Is he ok with a dragon's breath attack not breaking Invisibility or Sanctuary? How would he rule it at his table? Does it...

    Distract drop invisibility?

    Ooh nice! Can someone ask him about if a dragon's breath weapon would break Invisibility? Actually, why wasn't that asked in the example? Missed a trick there!

    Distract drop invisibility?

    Thank you for this. To my mind, there's also a keen demonstration of a failure to understand intent and representation. In games, specifically in D&D, language is used as a tool to translate intent via a set of constraints we call 'rules'. This process is fraught with complications in no small...
