    D&D 5E (2014) What makes boss fights memorable?

    Talking is a free action, so bosses and dragons should monologue more than other monsters. "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your Father." "No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die." "Kill for the love of Kali!" "Someday, and this day may never come, I may call upon you for a favor..."

    Melee Weapons sorted by effectiveness?

    Since critical hits double the dice but do not double the adds, a 1d6+1 weapon will do 2d6+1 (average 8) on a crit, while a 1d8 weapon will do 2d8 (average 9) on a crit. Therefore when you make a Mace 1d6+1 you are saying that Mace crits are not as bad as other crits. There are a lot of dead...

    D&D General How do you like your character sheets?

    No, those are absolutely the worst kind, because then when the DM wants you to use a different stat you have to search for it, wasting everyone's time. When they're alphabetical you can always find them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Boosting your monsters with feats

    Casters can have the Spell Sniper Feat to double their ranges, let them ignore cover AC bonuses, and learn an extra Cantrip requiring an attack roll. It's great when the bad guy hits the PC's at double the normal max range when they're behind cover, and they weren't expecting it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Beast master wants to use pet to get +5 to passive perception

    How exactly can the wolf Help the Ranger with a Perception task when the Wolf does not speak Common and will therefore be unable to effectively share information? Why will the Ranger know that "Howl, howl, howl" means "Enemies are approaching" and not "I'm hungry"? Are wolf companions trained to...

    D&D General What is Druidism in your game?

    Druids interact with "spirits of places", Clerics suplicate "spirits of ideas".

    D&D 5E (2014) List of All 33 Races in Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse

    Is it switched for all Small races, or just for the Small races in it? Aren't regular Halflings, Gnomes, and (non small) Dwarves still at 25'?

    Tabletop Product SKUs, how to

    You may want to consider starting with higher numbers and then working your way down. Most companies do the opposite but that means that when stores look up their titles the newest items are all at the end. What if they don't bother to look that far down the list?

    D&D General Which Sacred Cow Will Be The Last To Slaughter?

    I think that Ability modifiers will outlast Ability scores. Other than for wearing certain armors, a modest increase in how much you can carry, and some multiclassing a STR of 13 is no better than a STR of 12. They're both almost exclusively a +1 bonus to STR based rolls. They could easily lose...

    D&D 5E (2014) 2022 WoTC Books?

    Not yet; but D&D will assimilate all Hasbro owned settings. Why would they ever publish anything that uses less well known, likely to be slower selling, rules? (I am not saying that it will be a 2022 setting. I am saying that if it is ever a published setting they will use the D&D rules with...

    I'm not looking forward to the cut & paste substitution of "hippy" for "orc" in D&D Nixon version.
