If you're looking in that direction, just make short rests 10 minutes. And then call all of your 10 minute blocks "turns". Thaumaturge.

I do this about half of the year, because one of my players is a snowbird. We set up an iPad (laptop, or even a smartphone, would work) at one end of the table and go. It's not perfect, but he gets to see and hear a lot of the experience. My suggestion would be to use Google Hangouts instead of...

I wouldn't know. I can't read. Thskfjsdksdn.

My 5e tables have been some of my sneakiest tables, ever. With group checks, at least half the party is able to sneak past goblins (Passive Perception 9) fairly easily. Thaumaturge.

Doesn't look like it. Thaumaturge.

And since I've gone ahead and jumped in. This might provide the reports mentioned. Thaumaturge.

If you're the DM, couldn't you see the number of HP rolled, compare it to the Ogre's HP, shrug and say it worked? Heck, why even roll at all? Just assume that sleep as written is its combat application. If the target doesn't "have his blood up", the spell is significantly more effective (double...

Man, are you going to be surprised when it comes time for you to present your defense. Thaumaturge.

It doesn't seem too crazy. But (I'm just spitballing here) what if you made a Channel Divinity option that let a cleric cast cure wounds and then cast another spell as a bonus action? Making it a cure wounds makes it bigger, but making it Channel Divinity means it'll only happen once per short...

Out of your reach, not out of a square in your reach. I agree with fjw70. Thaumaturge.

Shouldn't you be playing Magic: The Slumbering, then? Thaumaturge.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I read "only use Dex with daggers" as if the "only" modified "Dex" instead of "daggers". Got it. Carry on. Thaumaturge.

I'm running a 5e conversion of Ruins of Undermountain. My players are paranoid about touching anything, and will spend forever looking at an iron torch holder on the wall. They love to socialize and roleplay. On Saturday we got through 4-5 encounters in 3ish hours. Thaumaturge.

You might want to read the last bit of the rules text you quoted again. Thaumaturge.

I would treat axiomatic mind as almost immunity to charmed, frightened, and other mind altering spells or conditions. They can't be compelled to act in a manner other than their nature or instructions. If they instructions are to attack the PCs and the wizard casts charm person, I'd have the...

Exactly. Especially for overland travel adventures/scenes, getting a full 6-8 encounters a day is ridiculous. But spreading those out over a week feels just about right. Thaumaturge.

The bolded bit is the primary reason. Long rests = 5 days & short rests = 8 hours slows the game down. It make things feel a bit more realistic. Instead of healing up overnight, you need 5 days to recover. Some see this as appalling. Some as appealing. Thaumaturge.

So you say. Here. B-) Thaumaturge.

There is a thread here that linked to this, but mearls talks about your concerns in this Escapist interview. He says (paraphrasing) they have good data the splatbook treadmill is bad for the game, and he thinks it'll take about a year for people to start to believe they really are cutting back...

I say "5". Resistance makes 20=10. Then 5 temps are burned away. Temp hit points don't reduce damage, they just give a buffer against damage received. Thaumaturge.
