    D&D 5E (2014) Phantom Steed duration beyond damage.

    Going by twinned spell logic, never. Otherwise, immediately upon casting. Nothing. The spell is still one that restores hit points, even though no one actually regained hit points from a given use.

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    The Disciple of Life feature isn't limited to only Cleric spells, so if someone got Vampiric Touch by some other means (multiclassing being the easiest/most obvious), the two should work together.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bonus Actions vs Reactions

    Personally, I find reactions in general to be more valuable than bonus actions, simply because they are not limited to merely your own turn. Why are you posting in a thread you know has no point? Why waste your time?

    Stat limit of 20?

    If you're talking about page 173 of the PHB: Then I'm going to have to disagree. Otherwise, I guess I'll wait.

    Stat limit of 20?

    It would be added to your dexterity score, which in this case would be 20, making it a 22 and your bonus +6. Unless I missed something (other than the "adventurers can have ability scores as high as 20" non-rule), there's nothing stopping the racial bonus from taking you over 20.

    D&D 5E (2014) To own 5E books or not to own 5E books that is the Question

    As far as I remember, there was really only one known (non-new) player where I'm from that lacked a PHB, but that may not currently be true. Most new players that show up either don't continue playing (at least, at the store I frequent) or generally pick up a copy of the PHB at least. I've...

    D&D 5E (2014) Everybody's got to have a Patron deity. Where did it come from?

    Not Chaosmancer, but sure: Hmm... Comparing that to this: It seems like you missed a rather important sentence (with very relevant implications) in your summary of what the guidelines say. Odd, wouldn't you say?

    D&D 5E (2014) I'm really hating Constitution right now

    I personally wouldn't do this, or play a game where someone did this, but it sounds like for you the best thing would be to simply remove the choice. Remove one of the standard array scores (either the 12 or 13 to be 'balanced', or the 8 if you're feeling generous), tell your players to use...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    I'm not sure I understood this completely but your character's Dex should be 13 (11 from your roll and an additional 2 from your race) and its Armor Class should be 12 (11 from the leather and a additional 1 from your Dex modifier). Leather armor doesn't normally add to your Dexterity score...

    D&D 5E (2014) Swashbuckler

    ? The idea is that you attack in melee (with a melee attack) first, use Fancy Footwork to move away from the one you attacked, then fire the hand crossbow with your bonus action.

    "Named" Dagger of Venom – Adventure's League

    As far as I can tell, you're correct. At the very least, there's nothing in the descriptions of the two items that hint at special properties at this time.

    "Named" Dagger of Venom – Adventure's League

    Assuming it's A Night to Remember (CCC-GARY-01) that you've gone through, and that names haven't changed between the Con and now (well, when I bought my copy of the set), the names of the daggers should be the Left Hand of Sybil and the Right Hand of Sybil individually or the Fangs of Sybil as a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Missile vs. Mirror Image

    Question. How is the place an illusion is not a location?

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    Would it be possible to re-upload the last beta until it's determined what's going on with the current version?

    "Other Resources" and Volo's Guide to Monsters

    At least according to how I'm reading it, Volo's (and other things) should count for this purpose, but just in case I missed something, I'll ask here: Does Volo's Guide to Monsters (VGtM) qualify as an 'other resource' for the purpose of Wild Shape, Beast Companion, conjure spells, etc. as...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Matter Of Initiative

    A brief and (hopefully) simple question for the disjunct: By default rules, is starting combat on an initiative other than the highest initiative allowed? Bonus: In what situations would you consider it reasonable do to such a thing?

    D&D 5E (2014) How to deal with a Warlock gaining Detect Magic as a cantrip

    There's simple things you could do if you want to, on occasion, catch the warlock by surprise. Just use non-magical traps and hidden weapons, or mix non-magical traps and hidden weapons in with the magical traps and hidden weapons. Detect magic is absolutely useless against those. Use magical...

    D&D 5E (2014) Polearm Master Feat

    No, it isn't. The effective attacking range of the pike is 10 feet. There is no stated length for the pike- or any other weapon, far as I've seen.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon Sorcerer Draconic Wings and Magic Robes

    No, however... Sounds like magic items that are worn adjust themselves to the wearer by default, unless something in the story suggests otherwise.

    D&D 5E (2014) Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    You wanted it more than the other options available. Point-buy forces you to choose nothing. You, adhering to whatever standards it is that guides your character creation process, forces yourself to choose. I'm of the opinion that this- -has an obvious, understood "Within of the bounds...
