    D&D 5E (2024) Exception-Based Design in D&D: When Rules Enable Rule Lawyers

    While i agree on the effect of Exception-Based design produce on game play experience, i have to say this isn't new to 5E24. Nor is Rule 0 a recent phylosophy. It's more that as D&D evolved, these concepts were more verbalized or codified. For as long as D&D existed, DM were empowered to make...

    D&D 5E (2024) Group Checks?

    To me Group Check is a tool to measure any task's success or failure collectively rather than individually. Not using them if a single failure has consequence is missing the goal, if i use Group check, it's especially to have an outcome despite single success or failure since it's measured more...

    D&D 5E (2024) Web: Power Overwhelming

    Isn't 20 feet cube = 16 x 5 feet cubes in 2D and/or 64 x 5 feet cubes in 3D? (4 x 4 x 4 for 20 feet on each side and as much high)

    D&D 5E (2024) Web: Power Overwhelming

    The entire web is flammable and each 5-foot cube is connected into a single area, so if not meant to burn by 5-foot increment but bound to burn completely if lit, why just not saying if the web is exposed to fire, it burns entirely in 1 round ? Or else each 5-foot cube burns independently as if...

    D&D 5E (2024) Web: Power Overwhelming

    As written a 5-foot cube of web exposed to fire will burn for a round, dealing 2d4 fire damage to a creature starting it's turn in it. Next round, it will expose any adjacent 5-foot cube of web to fire, burning for a round and dealing 2d4 fire damage to a creature starting it's turn in it...

    D&D 5E (2024) Aasimar Celestial Revelation - Necrotic Shroud - one time only or every turn?

    I know as written Celestial Revelation: Necrotic Shroud currently says: but i said to make it stronger it should have instead say: Basically my suggestion was that it'd be stronger if the Frighetened condition could potentially last more than a round. Hopefully it's more clear now.

    D&D 5E (2024) Aasimar Celestial Revelation - Necrotic Shroud - one time only or every turn?

    It wouldn't be permanent but until the transformation ends, which Celestial Revelation mention it lasts for 1 minute. Grammar could always be polished if you want i'm sure people get the intentions here but spells uses similar wording for example Hold Person says:

    While not official ruling per se, the Dev intended to have creature takes 2d4 fire damage regardless of size.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Impressions and Surprises from real play Experiences

    My understanding is that the Dwarf using Stonecunning's Tremorsense can pinpoint the location of creatures and moving objects within 60 feet that are in contact with the same stone surface.

    D&D 5E (2014) How to Run Combats in a Cavernous Dungeon Without Alerting All NPC's?

    You can rationalize it by saying that such cavern are very sound proof in general and the stone giants are used to not-so audible loud noise from conflict that occasionally arise between them often leading to yelling or fighting and that the clan adopt a leave-it-alone approach toward, where...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rogues can now Sneak Attack with all thrown weapons - Tridents, Spears, Handaxes, they all work!

    Even wielding a weapon in a way contrary to its design doesn't count as another classified category but as an improvised weapon instead, not changing wether it's Melee or Ranged weapon in the first palce.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rogues can now Sneak Attack with all thrown weapons - Tridents, Spears, Handaxes, they all work!

    Seeing as the rules for Sneak Attack, Weapon classification, Thrown and Range Property hasn't really change between 2014-2024 and that a Sage Advice official ruling melee weapon like dagger not ranged weapon for Archery, this whole debate is the result of wrong hyperlink shortcut that should...
