Oho! I missed that!

Nonsense. I had plenty of 8 (or more) encounter days. The fact that cantrips never run out means that the casters are still punching at their weight even with no slots to use.

What's the difference?

The new rules don't seem too concerned with balanced play. Yes, they buffed a lot of martial stuff- but they also buffed full casters. Was anyone thinking they needed help? Grumble.

It's the fact that it imposes a universal mechanic on all diseases with game impact that I don't like. Of course not. But what's the difference? We've seen the eliding of any mention of things like slavery in recent years, which may be because of sensitivity concerns; and while I appreciate the...

Not everyone always gets to shine, and sometimes, there is something that makes someone's best toys not so great at the moment. This happens to everyone and it's okay. If the party wants to make sure that the guy on a mount can usually use his mount, they should try to select their adventures...

And that is just so inelegant. Not all diseases should make you poisoned. The pandemic thing... I get what you're saying, but if we're going to remove an element from the game because it has impacted a lot of people around the globe, when are we taking out war? Thievery? Violence entirely?

This is one of those things that they changed and I have no idea why. Does this somehow improve the game? Should anyone with any disease with an in game effect, even a mild one, really give you disadvantage on all checks and attacks? Ugh. Disease is another area where (IMNSHO) 5e should have...

Is it? I would think proficiency marks using your strength well. Is this (Strength is how well you use the strength you have) stated in the books somewhere?

I think the point is less that weapon mastery is more difficult than spells, but that it is yet another decision/slowdown point for the game in general.

S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. The OG champion of "you got sci-fi in my fantasy!"

Goodberry, IMHO, is too good for a 1st level spell. Compare it to create food and drink, not to cure wounds.

This is perfect. Thank you.

Elves get "Elven accuracy. You spend 10' of movement to gain a 1d8 bonus die to a ranged attack. Once you hit with this ability, you can't use it again until you rest for an hour." Humans get "Human Perseverance: When you miss with an attack or fail a save, you can roll 1d6 and add it to the...

In the history of D&D, have half-elves ever had a good combat-focused racial/species feature? I can't think of one, but for my custom bespoke perfect dnd system, I would like to have one, and I vastly prefer that it echo something from past editions or lore. Any suggestions?

I recently used Gutboy Barrelhouse in an example in my homebrewed version of dnd!

I don't have it yet, so I can't give it a fair review. From all accounts, there is an awful lot of power creep, which is the opposite direction I'd like to see the game go. There are also a lot of changes that I don't think improve the game in any way, at least not for me. I think the...

The entire thing, with some guidance from the dm.

This is a question that is not nearly as simple as you think. During travel? During dungeon exploration? During a war? Very different answers. What counts as one encounter? If the pcs enter a room with a monster in it and as they slay it, two neighboring doors open and two more rooms'...

He doesn't use it to run the game, and he judiciously adjusts things as needed, so... not too much. But I do think the difference is noticeable. My favorite thing he does with AI is generating songs about our adventures, such as this: Eyes in the Dark by @vykyng | Suno
