I wouldn't allow the rogue to attack through the fighter's occupied square. The rogue can fire ranged attacks with the orcs having half-cover and still get his sneak attack bonus damage. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

I allow everything from official books and UA. I'm also open to everything from DMs Guild and homebrew from Reddits, Pinterest, etc. as long as the whole group can review it and approve. My perspective is that I want my players to have fun, play the characters and concepts that they want to play...

The caster is targeting the armor to heat the metal. How is a saving throw from the target supposed to end an effect that is targeted on the armor? That amounts to the player having some sort of innate dispel magic ability. As it is, the target gets a save to ignore the pain and thus the...

So DM can say otherwise, instead of completely scrapping the spell. If caster is out of melee, they can definitely leave the cozy and safe back line to follow and open themselves up to getting dogpiled by enemies. Or if they're in melee, they can spend an action to disengage and try to follow...

Spell breaks if they get farther than 60 feet away. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

House rule that the target must continue to stay in range for the spell effects to continue. Give an Int (Arcana) check to see if target recognizes the spell (if they've never encountered it before). This means that if the target is in melee, they'll have to take an opportunity Attack to double...

Hmm...how about the number of GWM power attacks is limited by the bonus of your Con stat (min 1) per round. Takes a crapload of effort to swing like that and you can't do it indefinitely so limit by Con makes sense. Do the same for SS except key it off of Int bonus (min 1 attack). Int bonus...

What? You've never had a Pokémon that evolved when it hit a certain level before? :cheesysmile: But if a feat didn't fit my campaign world, I'd just mix it. Not a biggie. Also, I don't consider Feats learned abilities although they could be. They could also be unexpected growths, evolutions...

The post that makes the most sense out of this whole thread and no one even pays attention to it. Just sounds like people arguing just because they refuse to lose. The only reason why there is even an argument regarding this feat is because there are DMs who can't handle their min-maxing...

Anyone ever think they should exclude reach weapons from GWM? I can't imagine glaives, halberds or pikes hitting as hard as greatswords, mauls and greataxes. Never really liked the combo of GWM and PAM. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/64kiul/class_modified_unearthed_arcana_artificer_v12/?st=J1FL9X5H&sh=a1f33bfd If you or your player doesn't mind homebrew stuff, this redditer Revised the UA Artificer class which makes a lot more sense. It changes the Wondrous Invention feature...

UA: Skill Feats From the PHB, using your skill whether it be through descriptive roleplaying or active roleplaying should require that you're making some attempt to alter the NPCs reaction. The DMG goes further to explain the process of Starting Attitude, Conversation and Charisma Check in...

I guess that's where we differ. You treat it like a spell, I treat it like a skill. In my games, social encounters are handled by dialogue, not die rolls or skill checks. If the PC has roleplayed convincingly enough, I won't call for a Persuasion, Deception or Intimidate check. I'll continue to...

The big difference is whether the DM is running his game like a board game or like a roleplaying game. If you're going to let your players play the game like a board game and say, I have this cool feat, I want to Diplomat the guy or I want to Persuasion check the guy and you go sure, roll you...

"An ability check tests a character’s or monster’s innate talent and training in an effort to overcome a challenge. The DM calls for an ability check when a character or monster attempts an action (other than an attack) that has a chance of failure. When the outcome is uncertain, the dice...

Are you really trying to say that this is how your game is run? That there is no intuition at all to the rules that tells you that just because it says you have to talk to the NPC for at least a minute means that you can't just talk about the weather for a minute and then expect that the DM will...

This. It's a cooperative team game. The martial's role could be to deal damage for that group so GWM may make sense. But in a different group, the martial may be needed to protect the squishies so he is not less effective being the tank with Protection Style or Sentinel or whatever it may be...

This is one of the worst cases of "rollplaying" and if a DM enables that kind of play, that's a table problem and not the design intent of the "Rulings over Rules" system. There should be roleplaying involved in this persuasion attempt...it better be some epic roleplaying in order to keep 30...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

I would never run my encounter like this. This is a case where the DM needs to be a DM. As a Dungeon Master/Game Master my role is exactly that, master of the story and master of the game. When you sit at my table, you are playing in my game. I just happen to be using 5e to facilitate the story...
