I have never seen Reincarnate used in any edition of DnD from first til now. The latest version is less horrible than previous editions where you could come back as a rabbit but since classes are so stat dependent the odds of getting a race that works with your class are not great. The 5E...

3 out of 5 rating for Tomb of Annihilation I like the concept, a crawl through the jungle coming upon ancient cities and encountering strange and new foes. The execution I do not find as appealing. The module states you should start at 1st level. This is a huge mistake. One peruse through the...

What do you do when a player makes a sucessfull skill check but then describes a course of action that will not help in the least for the overall challenge?

Everyone killed would probably care.

How many dwarves have contemplated suicide after activating these magic clippers then falling asleep while they trim away, and away, and away, and away........

Wash cloth of Refreshing Cleanliness - When dipped into water the wash cloth suds up with soap and warms. Anyone using it to clean themselves for 5 minutes comes completely clean and smells fresh. he also gains advantage on his next Charisma or charisma skill check. Once per week when used in...

Sorry but the gods of Krynn were dicks who murdered millions because a few thousand who followed the Kingpriest had become arrogant and demanding. They then also stole up to "Heaven and Hell" every true cleric walking the world so that worship of them became impossible until they decided to let...

Yes, very true. An all bard party, just like any other party can steamroll most level appropriate encounters if they want to. An all bard party with access to so much Crowd Control can probably do it better than most. But what happens when you encounter the second group of goblins in a day? Or...

If we wanted to create a bit of a bell curve then we could just roll 2D10. Of course just like rolling 3D6 you are never going to critical fumble.

What do we gain other than more math at the table?

Just my opinion but purely rules related books like the PHB, DMG, Basic Rules, and Starter set should not be on the list. It, to me at least, makes more sense to only rank fluff and adventure books so we best understand what people like so that more of that type can be made.

Maybe the Paladin takes the Divine warlock patron, so no conflict at all. or Maybe the holy and righteous Paladin also follows some Dark Entity from beyond whose power and influence is so alien that its very existence within his soul is hidden from his god. Or maybe even high level PCs who...

True, tone and situation are hard to read in posts. At the most basic level the player did just say he would have destroyed the druids character.

Sounds to me like he posted it because at least one other player got his nose out of joint, forgot who was the DM, and started making proclamations about how HE would have done it. The only correct answer here is the DM should do whatever the DM wants to do, and then to follow up he should have...

It is fluff material, the more that is released and the deeper it goes the more people will like it or hate it. As an example I loved Lords of Madness: The Book of Aberrations and how it treated Beholders and Mind Flayers, actually all the monsters shown in it. This also means I hate the new...

Okay, how do said druids know the event happened and know the event happened in enough detail to ask questions? The party was attacked by wolves, they were possessed and I am guessing fighting to kill and acting out of nature for a wolf by not fleeing when injured or when the alpha is killed...

First level spell DC will be 13 assuming point array. Assume on average 0 to -1 saves and you still have 30% of mobs making saves. Add to that sheer luck and it can get a lot worse and you have blown your load. Is it likely? No, more often than not you can overwhelm foes, but if those saves are...

Except you are evaluating based on your opinion so you saying something is a necessary evil IS just your opinion and really does not get anywhere.

I understand all the comments made here and I think to make things work out the best if I was to do anything like this I would start the campaign (with the right players of course) with a statement that what they say is what their characters say unless it is you stating an action. I would also...

This is not about being rude, interrupting the player, etc. The point I was trying to make is when the players start discussing how much firepower their characters have so as to determine whether or not to rest. To me this just has to be inter-character communication. Players talking about...
