Looks like the real 'solution' to fix things is to get rid of the feats like Sharpshooter and Crossbow Expert. This would add in the penalties of shooting while being attacked and into melee or to someone behind cover and such.

It seems to be adding a layer or more difficulty that may not be needed. DMs might be able to overcome some of the problems you see with making dungeons smaller or closer with bending halls and low ceilings to have limited use of bows. This of course nerfs the player that wanted to play an...

The biggest takeaway, other than the impressive size of the collection, is that there is a Dallas box set.

Yes, they were only one encounter typically. Maybe a situation with a NPC and a monster. They were fine in a pinch, or used to develop some more by yourself.

Using them before was a bit of a bore or not much of a deal. This might make them something to actually use again.

Just the basic monster book. I have played too long to need much more. I do like the fluff about whare and how things live and cool ways to use them, but keep it a paragraph or two. Most monsters are meant to be killed and do not need much. Favorite would be the 3-ring-binder. Was not...

I let attunement equal proficiency bonus. Bu t I also give out too much magic like older editions. But my players also make just semi-optimized characters so I'm ok with it.

There was that whole module with exploring a spaceship that crashed in the High Forest of FR. Barrier Peaks- The cover even has a guy with a ray gun. Anything Spelljammer. Most magic items such as magic stones that let you walkie-talkie with each other.

Using the healer's kit to stabilize someone with an action, I might let someone with Medicine use a bonus action instead since it is not something to get advantage with. Does not make sense timewise but little does in the game. Using it to determine a monster that is bloodied is not...

Those are incredible stats, except something happened to the owl's strength.

The OP is already bringing in meta knowledge when the DM tells him that he can see 5 wizards and he knows the rest of the party can see only 4. He then comes up with saying, "Oh 5 wizards must be a convention". To go around the circle and play games like this for a basic spell that does not...

I would be interested in what @FitzTheRuke thinks about sales in the game store. Everyone wants to spin and parse the carefully chosen words at the shareholders meeting, but someone who sells the books would have more impact on me to the health of the game.

I tend to only have roleplay scenes be TotM and once it leads to negotiations with a lightsaber, I bring out a grid. Basically for all the things mentioned above with the positions and flanking and spell effects and someone hiding and such. It works best for my table. If there was a fight...

A couple/few hours each week with an odd missed week, plus the convention is about 100 hours.

I'm with you.

And who said that random booster packs of minis, dice, and trading cards was not a gateway for children to become addicted.

What is better than the mage casting a fireball on the first round of combat? Two fireballs- even if the cleric needs to cast one of them.

I hope not. While they have the budget to spend they seem to like to throw it away and make junk lately.
