    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    I am pretty confident it is not AI. AI art would be a lot better, have more flavor and be deeper. I am not saying AI art is the best, but it is generally better than what is on the cover and better than a lot of the art used by TSR and WOTC over the years.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Me too. I would really like to see a WOTC campaign there, like we have for Chult, Icewind Dale and the Desserian Valley.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    Slings and holsters have no mechanics associated with them. They don't change anything. Reload is part of shoot, not a separate activity and drop is not free, it has to be part of an attack or an interaction in the 2024 rules. RAW he can not shoot the first crossbow if he has something in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    So who are all the heroes? I see Jarlaxle, Minsc and Karlach, who is the blue eyed wizard and the blonde Elf with long fingernails? I also love how Jarlaxle has come full circle and is now a "heroe"

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    Sure I can picture it, but that is not RAW. RAW he needs a free hand to load a piece of ammunition.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    Yes but BOTH of these characters need to have their other hand free in order to load the crossbow, per the ammunition property.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    Where does it "specifically" say this? To my knowledge, niether the 2014 or 2024 version specifically say this, nor do they say they overrides the ammunition property.

    D&D 5E (2024) Advice with building a 2024 Paladin?

    If you are sticking with those abilities I would look at Mage Slayer or Sentinel as the best feats (boosting strength). Alternatively you could put the 17 on Charisma and take Fey Touched with the Hex spell or the Dissonant Whispers spell. I find when playing a half caster your casting stat is...

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    the XBow expert feat does not change this as it does not aleviate the need for a free hand to load as per the ammunition feat.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    That was the case with the old 2014 Crossbow expert feat, but it is not the case in 2024 because the light property and the crossbow expert property require an arequires the attack to be made with a different light weapon.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    The crossbow expert feat is irrelevant, it only affects the loading property, not the ammunition property. The ammunition property is what requires the free hand. You can throw a dagger or light hammer from range using nick and RAW you can do this after you fire your hand crossbow as the hand...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's a non-culty official adventure?

    I do not remember any cults in Wild Beyond the Witchlight, Tomb of Annihilation or Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    I am assuming no crossbow expert feat, just a normal PC using a hand crossbow and a light-nick weapon like a dagger or light hammer.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    The Hand crossbow is a light weapon, so by the light weapon property if you attack with it, you can use nick with another light nick weapon, for example throw a dagger, as part of the same attack action (assuming you have mastery). However you also need a hand free because a hand crossbow has...

    D&D General Can I use your character for an NPC in my new market?

    Venom - Green Dragonborn Fey Wanderer Ranger/Glamor Bard (actual PC also has 1 Monk level and 1 Druid level but those parts are not thematic). She is very whimsical and grew up in and around the Feywild. She has a green horse named Applejacks. She is essentially a con artist, uses her magic...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Undead Army Necromancer is not Designable

    No I didn't. Please stop saying this. I changed it because I found encounter design difficult in high level play Because at high levels it makes PCs effectively immune to failing saving throws. This makes it extremely difficult to design encounters to meet the encounter design goals at the...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Undead Army Necromancer is not Designable

    I said in that screenshot that it is NOT important! I changed indomitable at tables I DM because in high level play it is difficult to design encounters when a PC has this ability, not because it is "disruptive". That is what I said and that is even what you quoted, yet you interpreted...
