It’s unclear to me if the Nick property cares whether the extra attack with the Light property is made with the Nick weapon or the other light weapon. It only says When you make the extra attack of the Light property, you can make it as part of the Attack action instead of as a Bonus Action...

Hold up. Was this errata’d? This is not how I remember this property being worded when the 2024 books initially released. Indeed, this wording would prevent many of the weapon juggling tricks that were hotly discussed at the time of release, such as the much maligned “dual wielding” with one...

I don’t think there’s any ambiguity here. This is very clearly possible under RAW.

Literally every faction you encounter is in conflict with a demon prince worshipping subfaction…

As CreamCloud said, Sorry for the ambiguity, I forget sapphic undertones aren’t as obvious to non-sapphic folks.

EDIT: realized I should probably spoiler tag this. If you haven’t watched Delicious in Dungeon yet, go watch it. Then come back and read this.

My first 4e character. He was one of the pregens that came with the preview kit, and I had him retire as soon as the full rules were available so I could make my own character.

That checks out. I don’t know what it is about Vampire that attracts such toxic people, but it does. Particularly within the LARP space; I’ve had better experiences with tabletop WoD community, though the problems do still exist there to a lesser extent,

That makes two of us What…? What did I say that gave you the impression I don’t think mixed race people should be allowed in D&D? I just questioned the value of having a catch-all term for mixed-heritage species

Well, as with all categories, it’s socially constructed, and reveals more about what the society that constructed it values than about the thing it categorizes.

I find handouts and manipulatives useful in moderation, but they can quickly get overwhelming. This set will therefore probably not be for me. But I would like to read through the adventure, if only to see how they decide to update the classic. Maybe the digital version will suit my needs...

Nah. Sounding scientific wasn’t the problem with species (which I still dislike as the term to replace race, but it’s no longer a battle worth fighting) and it isn’t the problem with hybrid.

Well, a lot of humans have some amount of Neanderthal ancestry. Same genus, different species. Probably. Paleo taxonomy is complicated.

It’s a term typically used for (non-human) animals, and so is dehumanizing when applied to human(oid)s

I’m not the one you asked, but I run both TotM and on grid, and I find uses for slow and push in TotM. But I don’t adhere strictly to the distance numbers when running TotM. I keep it abstract and focus on the spirit of the property over the letter. Push gets enough distance to allow you to move...

I feel exactly the same. I’m thinking of introducing a house rule where instead of gaining mastery in specific weapons, you learn specific weapon mastery properties, and when you attack with a weapon that is eligible for one or more of the masteries you know, you can choose one of them to apply...

Do we really need an umbrella term for mixed-heritage species? Can’t such species just have their own unique names, like Khoravar and Jhor'guntaal?

1d4 long rests is a little weird, I probably would have just gone with one long rest.

I for one am glad to see the species formally known as half-elves return under an endonym, with their own distinct set of abilities. The half has always been a weird naming convention for a couple of reasons, but the guideline to choose one side to inherit the mechanics from clearly wasn’t...

My local experience (just a person with a lot of friends and colleagues who play D&D) is that only really hyper-invested people really understand what the revised rules are. The average casual D&D player doesn’t know what has actually changed in the new rules, and doesn’t really care to spend...
