    D&D 5E (2014) Critical Failures & House Rules

    No, and yes I do have house rules of my own. Your sneak attack rule penalizes rogues way too much, and I have always hated any sort of fumble rule because of many reasons but mainly because they happen way too often and the better you get (ie more attacks per round) the more they happen. My...

    D&D 5E (2014) Shield in one hand, Axe in the other

    War Caster's second bullet point only applies to somatic components, it still doesn't help if the spell has material components. So it is great for the corner cases of paladins and clerics wanting to weapon and shield as they can always cast no matter the combination, but it doesn't help an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Shield in one hand, Axe in the other

    If the spell needs both S and M components, having one focus in hand or a free hand to access the components is fine. So clerics and paladins are OK because they can have the holy symbol on their shield. Other casters are kind of screwed. The real issue are spell that just have S component...

    Can't something be both, I would always try and take advantage of every situation, give me an inch and I will take a mile, but at the same time using said advantage to help the group achieve the goals of play and have fun.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rangers and their beasts

    I grew up in rural Texas, hunted as a child and teen, raised livestock, and had a my fair share of dogs and cats around the house, but I never thought of those animals as members of the family like what a lot of pet owners who purchase clothes and christmas presents for their cats do, animals...

    D&D 5E (2014) barbarian damage reduction and combat healing economy

    Rounds don't matter, initiative is cyclic. Fighter goes to 0 > Cleric casts Healing word > Fighter is conscious before his next turn. Now if the cleric's turn is after an enemy that will attack the unconscious fighter we have a problem, or if after the cleric casts healing word an enemy...

    D&D 5E (2014) barbarian damage reduction and combat healing economy

    Efficient magical in combat healing in 5e is all about Healing Word, you wait until your allies are dropped to 0 than you heal them up with a bonus action. Why? A few good reasons. There is no penalty for standing up besides a bit of reduced movement, there isn't a threat of an attack of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Current take on GWM/SS

    I have two issues with the feat. The -5 penalty is huge, but people still want to use it all the time so unless they have a buff like bless going or advantage they usually miss often. The +10 damage is huge, especially at low levels. My solution was to change it so you lose your proficiency...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the new ammunition rule screw up dual hand crossbow?

    You can just use one hand crossbow and fire it with all your normal Attack action attacks, and then get the bonus action attack off with the same hand crossbow. The errata changed things so you couldn't have another weapon or shield in your other hand. They also had to errata two-handed...

    D&D 5E (2014) How does the errata on hiding affect the mask of the wild ability of the wood elf?

    It's a matter of degree. Anyone can try to hide in dense foliage, a heavy snowstorm, pouring down rain a good distance away, and so on, situations the DM feels would allow for the potential to hide, elves can make a hide check while standing right next to you while in a normal rainstorm, light...

    D&D 5E (2014) Errata Unarmed Strike

    Just thought of something else, the only natural attack that isn't a "weapon attack" is an unarmed strike. Gorillas for instance have a fist attack, that is a "melee weapon attack", all monsters natural attacks are listed as "weapon attacks" except now if you made a stat block for a drunken...

    Very valid point. I never thought of it before, but warlocks can't move between eldritch blasts either.

    D&D 5E (2014) Uses for herbalism kit.

    There are a few fan supplements out there for expanding herbalism and poison making, I think one of the En5ider magazine articles covers this too. Here is the first one I found with a search, don't know how good it is. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7CIGCMCtoETbEhVTy0zSnFJNEE/view and this...

    halfling rogue I don't see the confusion, I can understand how someone might not want to use the rules as they are written for whatever reason, and as always people are free and even encouraged to homebrew stuff, but the RAW seems clear here. Below are the key rules for a controlled mount. The...

    D&D 5E (2014) Jousting

    Yes Disengage is one of the 3 actions a mount can take. The rider isn't using an action to Disengage the mount is. No the rider doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity because the rider didn't use his movement, action, or reaction to move. If a mount provokes an AoO the attacker can target...
