The problem with making it a feat is that it would undoubtably become a feat tax due to being too universally good for every spellcaster not to take. I'd suggest keeping it to either a varient ruling, or in the realm of magic items. Something I've consider in the past is allow a second...

I agree that giving them martial weapon proficiency would be odd. If one wishes to slightly buff them the easy option would be give them deception proficiency or even expertise in it. Another option to consider: When I had a trickery cleric in my game, I gave letting him switch the channel...

Honestly the only time speed really becomes a huge factor is in any sort of chase scenario, where a difference in movement speed drastically effects whether or not a target can get away or not. In any situation rogues already have the ability to dash as a bonus action anyway, so let her do as...

Cool. Now do this with the Acid Dragon sorcerer or literally ANY OTHER sorcerer subclass. I'm so freaking tired of every damned sorcerer discussion turning into "fire sorcerers, devine souls, and shadow sorcerers are fine so therefore there is nothing wrong!" It is insufferably predictable and...

A lot of it also has to do with the function of religion in early societal development as well, particularly in the context of how each culture was in a different environment geographically speaking. The groups of people we collectively label under the "Norse" umbrella had very harsh...

This, combined with with the post regarding needing computers to run it are the main reasons why I prefer D&D 5e over Pathfinder. There are certainly elements that I miss (god I miss channel energy, animal companion rules, and some of the fine tuning for characters), and as a player I sort of...

Legally speaking, it came from the Geneva Convention at the end of World War I, which specifically bans the use of several uses of what was collectively viewed as horrific acts of dishonor and disrespect on the warfront, including things like biological/chemical weapons, killing prisoners that...

I am going to agree with the others in this thread whom have claimed that killing prisoners that have surrendered after you have promised to let them go if they give you information is evil. Specifically Chaotic Evil. We literally have international laws that are designed to prevent such actions...

I thought that's what you meant, but for some reasons I was convinced if you meant them you'd have called them either elder evils. Damn I wish I could sleep.

So I like the idea, but my brain is not quite functioning it seems due to insomnia... "GOOs"?

So I believe I commented on this in the other thread you posted. While I'm struggling to find the exact handful of threads from a few years back, I did find this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/a-use-for-true-strike.671595/ that sort of hits on the same thing. It's a bit outside of my...

I could've sworn it was the other way around with reactions being resolved first unless it was phrased in a way that makes sense otherwise (like taking damage and casting Hellish Rebuke), as otherwise how could someone attack a person who moves out of reach if they are now some undefined...

A lot of this is why in my personal head cannon I like to portray Asmodeus as rather than being the supremely evil arch fiend who seeks to conquer all of existence and more of the (still evil but) flamboyant ruler who seeks not to actually end the war, but maintain the current status quo for the...

Pretty much this, obvious caveats being the assumption that it is a common enough practice and something people could afford or access. Would I allow a player to make it? Sure, but enemies would have them as well if it is realistic to do so. And a merry arms race between making better caltrops...

Well, first, I'd say that far more worlds in the material plane would be effected than just Toril, but I'm used to being forced to care about Faerun at this point and to focus on just that point would be kind of petty. ...minor gripe aside, I'd imagine the changes to the material plane would...

To be fair, it sort of does work this way. If you hit, it does for a concentration saving throw, which I think the feat let's you give them disadvantage on if I recall correctly.

I bring up the same hurdle I have for running faster games that I always do in these sorts of threads: my and my players absolute inability to do math. Adding the requirement of online setup and play what with having to relearn how to use virtual tabletop programs, java scripting to handle...

Ironically, this is how one should actually fight someone in platemail if you don't have a war hammer (which was designed to dent armor). Additionally for those with gauntlets there was a technique called "half-swording" where they would hold the blade and use either half the blade as a stabbing...

It's been said, but I'd wager strongly on it being remnants of Tolkien and C. S. lewis.

And every top subclass is the one listed in the free srd/basic rules. Color me surprised. rolls eyes Less sarcastically, the data is interesting to at least look at on some levels.
