He is referring to Silvery Barbs and Disintegrate both taking a spell slot therefore you cannot cast them in the same turn. Magical Secrets does not help with that restriction

Ah ok that might actually make more sense for the kobold, it automatically works without needing a saving throw. There is no question that this works, it is entirely the purpose of Vortex Warp. Why would anyone complain about a spell being used for its obviously intended purpose? I mean...

The only answer is based on game balance, not realism. It would be realistic to say you can't be a Wizard period without 13 Int, but then you could run into game balancing problems where characters with poor enough stat rolls wouldn't even be able to choose a class. So they have to eliminate...

FWIW I was only stating it is not a powerful ability to use against PCs to break an enemy monster out of grappling (or if a PC somehow swallowed a monster, totally doable with Polymorph). Not that it couldn't be used to create other powerful use cases. In your examples, I'd rule eggs and...

This is correct. The multiclassing rules state that "To qualify for a new class, you must have a score of at least 13... etc etc" (bold emphasis mine). This rule does not apply to gaining levels in a class you already have level(s) in.

It's not even very powerful. The kobold caster in your example is using their entire action for a CHANCE at maybe freeing their enemy teammate from a grapple if the PC fails a saving throw (on a stat that everyone puts points into). I can't imagine any players being too worried that a...

You're stretching WAY too hard to find physics-based reasons to ignore the game mechanics laid out in the rules. Show me a statblock for Gut Bacteria and then I'd agree that it's a creature that would be left behind when teleporting

With a normal grapple, you could Vortex Warp the enemy away to break your teammate out of the grapple. The targets gets a saving throw against the forced teleportation, and everything discussed is moot if the fish makes the saving throw, but the discussion is around what would happen if it...

My answer for the PCs: If it makes the plot more fun and it's an interesting way for the players to solve some challenge in front of them, then hell yeah it works! If it trivializes or circumvents something fun that the DM had planned, then I'd figure out some excuse for why it doesn't work as...

Oh my god how can they not respect the canon that I totally understand when I don't even know the difference between a Fighter and a Paladin!

All monsters come with whatever abilities the DM gives them.

This summarizes my experience. I kept getting a bunch of installation errors but stuck with it long enough to eventually figure it out (it worked smoothly downloading with Edge but not Brave, Firefox, or Chrome - what are the odds?). Then I finally got it open and it looked cool but I had no...

Correct answer here is that it totally depends on the world the DM is running. In a Low Magic world where PCs are some of the only spellcasters, it's a huge stretch. In a High Magic world where NPC Adventurers of higher level than the PCs are commonplace, not remotely a stretch at all. For...

Literally every PC adventuring party is going to have someone with Dispel Magic available. It's really not much of a stretch that most packs of non-beast monsters would have the someone with the spell

^This. Any Caster planning to use a weapon will usually start with 1 level in Fighter to gain Constitution saving throw proficiency plus Weapon Mastery plus Fighting Style plus Shield proficiency plus maybe they care about Heavy Armor proficiency. Added bonus is that you're also just a 1 level...

Well duh if you have a great group of people to play with for free then that's infinitely better. To be Captain Obvious for a second here, not everyone has a group to play with for free. You can do all the apples to oranges comparisons you want, $20 is just not particularly expensive to do...

I don't understand the part about wanting to play DnD with strangers online even for free (not for me!), but if you're having a good time then $20 for 4 hours is pretty cheap. That's less than the sandwich I had for lunch today and that only took 4 minutes to eat

I had not heard of Galder's Tower before, I see no problem with it other than I'm not sure if I'd allow the sourcebook (no one's ever asked). It's the same level as Tiny Hut and worse in just about every way. It's a big visible building that draws attention, and it's made of real materials...

Biggest ones for new 5e players would be Critical Role, Dimension 20, World of Warcraft, Baldur's Gate III, Skyrim, Minecraft, Pokemon Tied for last on the list would be every book

Of course the reason can purely be because campaigns fall apart before they reach high level. High level play is really fun but not really if you just start off there. Just because you technically could start watching a movie at the end doesn't mean that people "dislike movie endings"...
