And, to be fair to my Gen Con DM, I think this was what he had experienced and was expecting. He sort of waved his hand and said, "you will just delay and ready to get the initiative order you want anyway". Except we'd just met each other. And hadn't gotten a feel for the party yet. And 5e...

Run. And flip tables. I experienced this for the first time at Gen Con this year. From the player side, it felt like utter screaming chaos. We didn't know what we were supposed to to or what was expected. We started tracking our own initiative. I think I saw a dog and cat living together...

That's a good idea. The Characters. Random—A human, former Cult of the Dragon member, who barely escaped when other members of the Cult turned on hime and his family. To escape he made a deal with Titania. She turned him to into a Teifling as an added bit of mummery. He's a Fey-pact Warlock...

Yep. And a touch absurd. Thaumaturge.

Ok. That would be funny. To now, after telling her "no", make everyone's character a former dragon. The one who kept is just the only one who is aware of it. Hmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Thaummmaturge.

I had two players roll "10". I told the second one, "no". Thaumaturge "".

Tiamat. Black. Green. Red. White. Blue.

I'll...just never mention this thread to my players. Ever. Thaumaturge.

At 7th, the EK gets War Magic, which lets an EK attack (once) as a bonus action, if she cast a cantrip. So the EK could: cast a cantrip (action), attack (bonus action), cast burning hands (action surge). This I agree with. Thaumaturge.

Right. It's Second Wind that's the bonus action. Or the War Magic ability. I was just discussing True Strike with War Magic elsewhere, and these conversations bled together. Oops. That makes sense. At 7th level, the EK could cast a spell, cast a cantrip, and attack once, if she uses an Action...

I don't think so. I think the Eldritch knight can cast one cantrip and one non-cantrip a round with Action Surge. Thaumaturge.

Fallen, or overzealous, Angels have a paragraph or two, as I recall. There are no stat changes, but there's nothing stopping you from using them that way. The prose style of the whole book strikes me as "this is the way some representatives of these monsters behave". Go wild. Thaumaturge.

Are you daring people? Shush you, or I'll sic' a carbuncle on you. I see your point. I maybe even agree with it. I may also disagree. A Con save or be petrified when at 1 HP isn't a huge deal--you were probably toast anyway. A Str save to be pushed 5' off a cliff ledge is another story. That's...

It felt like everything fell into this category. It felt like if a monster had 2 abilities that called for saves, one was Con and one was Wis or Dex. I know that's not true, but it's how things felt. I'd say undead were lots of Con and Wis (fear) saves. Dragons were a big mix of Dex, Con...

All Lloth all the time. Thaumaturge.

I was hoping at least one person would guess something else. Not that I can think of what else would make sense. Maybe: Hill giants tell really bad riddles, Int save DC 10 or be stunned. Thaumaturge.

Ok. I'm one of the happy few who has a Monster Manual. I know some of you are really interested in all sorts of monster math, so I figured I would provide people some numbers to tide you over. My Methods I went through the MM page by page. I counted every time a monster had an ability that...

Mind flayers are CR 7. Mind flayer arcanists are considered deviants by other illithid, are 10th level spellcasters, and CR 8. Thaumaturge.

Wait. I that that was pushover mode. In standard mode, I don't explain where they went wrong. And the ogre probably plays with his food. Thaumaturge.

No specific rules, no. Lots of "arcane rituals" and "sacrificing". That sort of thing. I figure they're pretty comfortable with a DM working out how best to fit a PC becoming a lich into his own campaign. For mine the rules would be: get to 9th level spells, tell me you want to do it, roleplay...
