Something that crossed my mind just now is that, if you go with the "centered on an intersection" interpretation of a point described in the DMG for Cloud of Daggers, since the area doesn't completely cover any one space it should be possible to use the squeezing rules to move through unharmed...

Do you mean that you center AoEs in the centers of spaces rather than on intersections? Or am I misunderstanding entirely?

My issue with this is that Cloud of Daggers states it is centered on its point of origin, which contradicts the normal rules for cubes that say a cube's point of origin is not inside of its area of affect unless one chooses otherwise. In the case of Cloud of Daggers the cube's point of origin...

Going by page 251 of the DMG I would say this is less of a "change" and more a valid interpretation of the spell's mechanics. The text of Cloud of Daggers says it is centered on a point of origin, which by the DMG would be an intersection of squares when playing on a grid. In other places a...

I changed the title of the thread to better get across my question. Unfortunately it doesn't seem I can change the wording of the poll.

I was thinking of taking Cloud of Daggers for my Wizard but I can't seem to find a clear answer on what the AoE for the spell is intended to be. Based on these, I'm imagining this as the spell's AoE: However, the spell's description states that it is a cube, an AoE mentioned in the PHB...

I want a mini of the chonk dragon.

I enjoyed Matt basically describing the Raven Queen's reaction go Vex's promise as "lol, sure, even I'm not gonna hold you to that".

The ones on the right look to be of characters from Tomb of Annihilation.

4E actually has a ton of options for nonmagical characters. Fighter, Ranger (pre-Essentials), Rogue, and Warlord gives you a completely nonmagical party. IIRC the Fighter had more potential abilities to choose from than the Wizard had spells to choose from by the end of 4E.

The problem here is that the wilderness exploration features of the 2014 5E Ranger are either arguably too good or completely useless depending on how much the DM focuses on wilderness exploration in their campaign. I imagine that's why Tasha's presented more optional alternative features for...

Speaking of Ranger vs Rogue, I always thought it was odd that the Rogue was the one who got "Steady Aim" (basically, use a Bonus Action and don't move to get advantage on an attack) and the Ranger didn't.

"It's not what players expect" is a massive assumption here. I started in 3.5, so if anything the initial nonmagical 4E Ranger was the anomaly. It got followed up by the explicitly magical Seeker class before the magic-using Ranger returned in Essentials (when WotC was likely trying to win back...

I saw the video after reading comments about how this Ranger still isn't good enough, so I got a laugh out of Crawford's "oh man, this new Ranger is probably really OP".

Surely you mean subclasses here, right?

I've neglected using puzzles in my D&D games due to a few bad experiences while playing in other campaigns, but I'm curious if any veterans of published adventures have had positive experiences with them that I could look into for inspiration.

I forgot Delilah was part of the Cerberus Assembly! Man, those guys have been linked in some capacity to all three campaigns now. Somebody should probably do something about them.

4E's Madness at Gardmore Abbey was an adventure focused on the Deck. In it the cards of the Deck had been scattered. Gaining the normal benefit of a card wasn't possible without drawing it from the complete Deck, but individual cards were magic items with unique abilities separate from what they...

Are we sure these threads aren't made by an AI bot?

The Path of the Nazirite Barbarian and Circle of the Baptist Druid are enough to make me consider getting this book as a novelty. I'm also struck that the first adventure seems to be a loose adaptation of the Book of Tobit.
