    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition and the "true exotic" races ...

    I'm A Banana All of that bothers me less than new writers to the 3rd party content market. When they see 'Exotic races' they might blow it off and include Gnomes and Half-Orcs in their purchasable campaign worlds. Or they might take it as gospel that only Humans, Dwarves, Elves and Halfings...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition and the "true exotic" races ...

    It's definitely a bone thrown to a bunch of grognards who would complain about it the net otherwise. I mean, there's no reason why humans would exist on any particular world. It's just that some percentage of the playing population wants them to exist, so that they can play human characters...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why ever play a cleric?

    The primary reason to play a cleric is to lie to peasants and tell them they need to hand over 9/10s of their worldly possessions to the church, so that the gods will let them into heaven. And if they don't believe you, smite one. More seriously, Tempest Domain clerics get free flight at level...

    People also become so distracted that they never have a chance, regardless of how observant they are. Someone who's currently on fire is likely to fail Perception checks, even with a very high score. As such, denying people a chance to perceive things is on some occasions necessary to properly...

    D&D 5E (2014) ranger getting caught all of time---What to do?

    Passive is a game term, and game terms are somewhat notorious in D&D for having weak or non existent connections to real life language. Passive could really mean anything the writers want, and if they didn't communicate it clearly, then for all we know it means 'when hopping on one leg and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are monks proficient in Unarmed Strikes?

    That's not what I said. What I said was that an unarmed strike is a weapon, but a foot isn't.
