    D&D 5E (2024) Should Bounded Accuracy apply to skill checks? Thoughts on an old Alexandrian article

    Bounded Accuracy doesn't care about what numbers the PCs have or can get. Bounded Accuracy never cared about what numbers the PCs have or can get. The developers explicitly state this in their explanation of what Bounded Accuracy is. By definition, things like Bardic Inspiration, Expertise...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Friends + Beguiling Twist OP?

    I wouldn't call it OP, but it technically works (except the DMG apparently have a couple of rules/guidance that can block it).

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules Clarification: Epic Boon at 19th Class Level or Total Character Level?

    Because the multiclassing section introduced a rule that would otherwise mean a multiclassed character's cantrips scaled by class level, which would be inconsistent with a nonmulticlassed character's cantrip scaling.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules Clarification: Epic Boon at 19th Class Level or Total Character Level?

    It's not really all that complex. 1. The feats section explicitly tells you that you can pick feats from any category if categories aren't specified. 2. The Ability Score Improvement feature doesn't specify a category, thus you can pick from any category (Origin, General, Fighting Style, Epic...

    D&D 5E (2024) +Caster Single Target Damage+

    Friendly reminder that Eldritch Adept exists (if using 2014 stuff) and Pact of the Tome is a valid Eldritch Invocation now. Reasonably arguable to require a level in Warlock (if "they function as Warlock spells for you" means you need to be able to cast as a Warlock), but I've happily given up...

    D&D 5E (2024) Double metamagic

    Currently, the Combining Game Effects rule from the DMG would prevent this from doing anything if nothing else does, but who knows if that rule will make it to the new DMG?

    D&D 5E (2024) Scribing and Using Scrolls

    Maybe. Double check the spells you have to confirm whether they are prepared or just known/castable. Assuming that at least one of those is actually prepared, then you've indeed missed nothing - the spell scroll rules do (as they did in 5e14) result in characters being able to scribe scrolls...

    D&D General Multiclassing Shouldn't be Treated as the Default

    The real problem here isn't with the synergistic effect, but with how bad both hypothetical classes are. If a single feature from one class added to another class makes said other class so much better than either class on their own to the point that it's a problem, your classes are too weak.

    D&D General Golems With Ranged Attacks?

    Magen seem like they'd be good here, especially the Galvan Magen, which has a 60 ft x 5ft recharge nonmagical lightning AoE and flight.

    D&D 5E (2024) How D&D Beyond Will Handle Access To 2014 Rules

    People are losing some measure of convenience, which wouldn't be a problem if said loss of inconvenience was actually unavoidable instead of being deliberate.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    Three months isn't anywhere near long enough to warrant this level of response. Anyway, I personally feel that Warlock can better fulfill the generic half-caster magic knight shtick than Paladin.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Rules Oddities (Kibbles’ Collected Complaints)

    Conjure Minor Elementals should have used Spirit Shroud's scaling (+1 die per two levels), or at most standard scaling (+1 die per level).

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Rules Oddities (Kibbles’ Collected Complaints)

    There's so many ways to make Conjure Minor Elemental -> multiple attacks happen on just a single turn that it's just sad.

    D&D 5E (2024) Current Stealth Rule Actually Works As Is. If Moving Out of Cover After Hiding Makes Enemies Immediately "Finds You", Hide Would Be Totally UNUSABLE.

    I just find it hilarious that: 1. If anyone hostile to you anywhere has you in their line of sight, you can't attempt to Hide from anyone. 2. If anyone hostile to you anywhere manages to find you, you lose the invisible condition against everyone.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats AND Ability increases?

    Here's an idea, for what it's worth: Make the standard class progression ASIs be solely for ASIs and ASI feats, then let characters choose a non-ASI feat at the levels their character's proficiency bonus increases (5, 9, 13, 17). Adjust monsters upward if you find that necessary. Don't make...

    D&D General The Mysterious Isle & Eye of Xxiphu - Time Travel Query

    No. The description above is making a situation appear to exist that actually doesn't. Try this: The party (A1,B1,C1,D1) are now all back in time ten days. As they now exist at the same time as their original selves (who have not yet experienced the events above), I will be rename them to...

    D&D General The Mysterious Isle & Eye of Xxiphu - Time Travel Query

    Wait. Did the two PCs that didn't go through the portal change the events the original party went through? If so, you have a time paradox on your hands (to be resolved in whatever fashion makes the most sense). If not, then the people who were sent back in time ten days wouldn't be able to meet...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Strike rules question

    Yes, that's exactly how that would work - as illogical as that may seem to quite a few people.
