Are you suggesting the players know the exact hp of these creatures before killing one in battle. If not then I don’t think this shows that. If so, I don’t think that realistic but let’s discuss anyways. One cannot just take the average damage you do on a hit. There is a range. This is a...

Sure. But it’s still a strong indicator in that direction.

Example. Despite overall revenue being down 10% YOY there was continued growth in our subscriber base by 25%. Conveniently leaving out that the driver for that was deeply discounted rates or free trial runs. Essentially as long as what is said is factually correct and not obviously...

There is not one public traded company that does not spin everything in the best possible light.

Standard corporate practices.

I’m really liking the look of it on a berserker barbarian or vengeance Paladin. Something that can add quite bit of damage while sap and the shield shore up defenses. One thing I hate about 5e martials is that outside a little extra hp, the casters usually get better ac (Druid/Cleric with an...

Quite the Segway, eh?

I’m not convinced. The surveys werent about finding out what people wanted but finding out what creative changes made by d&d designers were acceptable to enough people.

1. Releasing playtest material that you created and then surveying how well it was liked is quite the opposite of designing to survey specifications. It’s simply testing whether your creative design will sell. 2. I find some of the greatest creativity I have flows when dealing with very...

Surely at this point, after all the complaints of that very thing, it’s got to be expected. No one actually begrudges Morrus for implementing the intrusive ads instead of taking more losses on the site. But it’s also not like Enworld at large doesn’t have the ability to remove them. The choice...

That’d be really cool.

Exactly, corp speak is much more about deciphering what would they have wanted to say if they could have. Generally they want to say whatever paints them in the most favorable light, so if something obvious isn't said that's usually a very bad sign.

The only indicator I see that it sold more than expected is that gaming stores were having trouble keeping it stocked. The rest of the statements all sound more like post hoc spin to me. Not that I think it's doing badly, just that if you follow them logically, they don't actually tell you how...

The problem with 2024 and comparisons to 2014 are that initial states are no where near the same. 2014 started at a low point and had to build back the empire. 2024 starts out at one of the highest points of D&D. As such, I don't believe it's fair to compare 2024 to the first years of 2014...

If it’s beneficial or harmful to survival and in nature a survivalist should know that. He probably doesn’t know herb X can be used to make a magical potion, but if it’s edible or would kill him if he eats it, that he should know. Same for dangerous animals. He may not know everything about...

The Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) provides examples of hazards, including brown mold, green slime, rapture weed, webs, yellow mold, and various environmental conditions like extreme cold, extreme heat, strong wind, heavy precipitation, high altitude, desecrated ground, frigid water, quicksand...

It’s not a houserule. Survival identifies hazards.

Survival identifies hazards. poisonous mushrooms are a hazard.

Of course it does. It’s all about outdoorsy survival. Knowledge about natural things that would aid in survival is survival. Like identifying signs that an owlbear is lives nearby. Kind of required to know what an owlbear is to do that. And despite it being lore/knowledge about owlbears that...

And why would a play care to identify a narrowleaf cottonwood tree?
