    It was Control Water, a 4th level spell in the PHB.

    D&D 5E (2014) Buffing the Champion Fighter

    How does someone homebrewing their ideal version of the champion affect anyone else adversely? Its not like anyone on here is talking about somehow forcing WoTC to change the printed version*, just what they feel like trying in their own games. If the OP sees players consistently not picking...

    D&D 5E (2014) Excerpt from a 5e naval supplement I'm writing

    By "Back" I simply meant "If the DM doesn't want Ballista either", not in reference to a specific time period. And by "replace" I meant in the story above, not in the mechanics. There should be separate mechanics for Ballista and Cannons, but the story above reads like it's from an older time...

    D&D 5E (2014) Buffing the Champion Fighter

    Have not read the rest of the thread, but I am considering giving either Fighter himself, or just Champion fighters, expertise in a chosen weapon. That would make them truly the "Best Fighter", I think. Anyone wanna do the math on what that would do to their hit-chance over time? I am not good...

    That is an easy fix. Replace all mentions of "Cannons" with "Ballista". Unless the DM wants to go even further back, in which case your example of just having archers would work fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Excerpt from a 5e naval supplement I'm writing

    Looks like fun. I can kind of get a read on the kind of mechanics you will be using, although my (extremely limited) knowledge of sailing puts up a question. Was The Nergal sacrificing any speed when firing the brand, having turned one of its sails the wrong way around? Also, is this kind of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    Funny, Gnomes are my favorite race, and Warlock is my top class for Flavor, second for mechanics. So if I was reincarnated as my favorite race/class, it would be a Gnome Bladelock

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    Interesting thought. Mine would be a Halfling Bard and/or Cleric. Bard bores me, cleric doesn't inspire me as a class. also, halfling. bleh.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does Dispel Magic work on Banishment?

    then in another, used it again to stun him so our fighter could go in for the kill. Quite helpful, especially with a Portent to ensure the enemy fails its save.

    ah, blast. I should have gotten that. Too highbrow for me I guess.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Am I In For With This Party?

    The reason I said "One might be tempted" instead of actually making one is because I have not seen the new movie yet. I just saw a star wars reference, and thought it was funny that it was about a Rogue, in correlation with Rogue One coming out recently. So, I have no idea what you are talking...

    The tabaxi feature "Doubles your speed", while movement and dash allow you to move up to your speed. If you double your speed, each dash and movement will be twice the size it would have been before. EDIT: The only other variable that might conflict with the tabaxi skill is the Haste spell, as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Power Word Liquefy (PWL)

    Player- "I liquefy the water elemental!" DM-"There is a massive flash of light and power! The flare clears and... You've done it! The water elemental is now made out of liquid!"

    D&D 5E (2014) Wherein we discuss spells and other magical things.

    The example requires you to be the one swinging the hammer, from inside the refrigerator. The point is, if you feel an impact when you punch the inside of the sphere, you will feel an impact when you fall 50 feet in the sphere. If you don't feel a punching impact, there shouldn't be a fall impact.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wherein we discuss spells and other magical things.

    Funny, I can't imagine ruling that way. If it comes up, I would always tell the players it is like hitting a wall. Nothing else make sense to me. So, for me, yes to falling damage.

    yep, 1200 for each of the social encounters. Outside of that, probably not. :(

    D&D 5E (2014) adjusting 5E zombies to be like walkers?

    I would lean closer to the fever killing them in Xd6 days, where X is their con modifier. That one guy in the first(Or second?) season that was digging graves hung on for a good number of days. Though I like the round count, only for the disease "Setting". 1d6 rounds before the disease sets...

    So, a level 1 war cleric and a level 2 warlock could heal about the same amount, assuming this is all they spent their slots on. I wonder what the scaling is like over the levels. Warlock would max out at 24d4+24, iirc, with 4 slots per short rest. Unless they spend it only on themselves, and...

    Aside from the exploit mentioned earlier (Make elixirs, short rest, make elixirs, repeat as many time as you want) What is broken about Warlock getting a 2d4+2 spell, that isn't even at will? How much healing can a 1st level War Cleric pump out per long rest? I am guessing it is more than 6d4+6...
