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

    No. 1. Conditions (whether beneficial or harmful) aren't a thing a creature loses (or counts as not having) because of what another creature has. 2. Unseen Attackers and Targets doesn't apply here because mechanically, the second benefit of the invisible condition doesn't care if you are...

    DDAL Polymorph and drop monster into a pickle jar.

    The rules don't cover this interaction, so it's ultimately your decision what happens. That being said, creature reverts to its normal form in the closest space/square that can accommodate said form is the ruling I go with.

    D&D General Class for these stats

    While I wouldn't have a problem with any class using those stats, the stats to me seem to suggest a melee ranger first and foremost, then any of the martial or heavy armor clerics, then fighter.

    D&D 5E (2014) Casters should go back to being interruptable like they used to be.

    Counterspell and Dispel Magic are means to interrupt magic that only people able to cast magic (or have the appropriate magic item(s)) can do. The poster (and thread) is referring to bringing back a way to interrupt magic which once existed in the game (but currently doesn't) that anyone can...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Grapple forced movement supposed to care about carrying capacity?

    Carrying Capacity mattering for grapple movement means that mechanically, a roc possibly cannot pick up a elephant and definitely cannot pick up a whale, which goes against stated lore.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does an item to enhance Unarmed Strike exist?

    Since we're rocking with the act of necromancy now, it would be amiss to not mention the non-attunement Wraps of Unarmed Prowess (in +1, +2, and +3 variants) from the Book of Many Things, which makes unarmed strikes magical and adds their respective bonus to attacks and damage.

    DDAL 2014 Character Options Will be Playable in AL After the 2024 Release

    As far as AL is concerned, given how rule changes are typically handled there, generic "mixed ancestry characters" rules will almost assuredly replace things like half-elves and half-orcs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should martial characters be mundane or supernatural?

    Use your torches to burn them? If absolutely nothing else (or nothing better), that group of four should have at least those in their packs. While 1 (+ Strength mod) isn't exactly exciting amounts of damage, it's infinitely better than no damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you allow Bladesingers to cast Mending, Shillelagh or Magic Stone as part of the attack action?

    Spells, including those which require attack rolls as part of their resolution process, use the Cast a Spell action, not the Attack action, so by your logic no cantrip can be used as part of the Bladesinger feature.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you allow Bladesingers to cast Mending, Shillelagh or Magic Stone as part of the attack action?

    If the casting time doesn't change, then no cantrips should be castable, as there are no cantrips with a casting time of an attack.

    D&D General Rules, Rulings and Second Order Design: D&D and AD&D Examined

    Why would the word party game look different from D&D if the goal in designing both was to make a fun game?

    D&D 5E (2014) High-level no-save spells in practice

    Yes, but not in the same sense.

    D&D 5E (2014) High-level no-save spells in practice

    Critical hits are things done almost entirely by chance, and thus the ability to deny one is essentially the ability to deny a player's good fortune.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Monster Stats by Level (not CR)

    I suppose the first question would be, how will you determine what an average PC of a given level is? PCs being as unequal as they are at various levels depending on their composition.

    D&D General What *is* D&D? (mild movie spoilers)

    Haven't seen the movie (yet), but Wall of Force should be able to block a Meteor Swarm meteor, can be shaped like a globe (despite being called Wall of Force), and is only a 5th level spell (thus is accessible at 9th level).

    DDAL Jasper DMS Dragonlance

    I just want to note that dragon is absolutely 100% handle-able with certain resources available to the group (Unless I'm horribly misremembering, Illilar and The Professor both have a Bag of Holding, so yeeting the dragon to the Astral Sea is at least theoretically on the table). Unfortunately...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Cloud Rune Shenanigans

    Maybe the character's trash at using a bow and arrow, or otherwise just a lot more effective at melee attacks? Also, you don't need a life-saving ability if the things threatening your life are all dead and dealt with. (Also, also, the life-saving ability doesn't work or is ill-advised in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the stun from Psychic Scream permanent if it is impossible to make the save?

    I wouldn't let changing forms end the condition, but definitely would let it be suppressed while in the form.

    D&D 5E (2014) Durable Feat is weak, Healer feat is too strong

    A potential problem with bringing back a thread that hasn't been touched for months (or years) is that even if the given topic hasn't run its course, the people who've participated in the original discussion have long since moved on. Bringing the topic back in this way, even when there's a...
