Last I checked, Catnip doesn't give you hit dice to spend. So, if you don't have any hit dice to spend before said spell is cast on you, you can't heal. In my opinion at least, something only counts as a healing spell if all the resources (actions are not a resource in this case) required for...

True. And if this were always the case in 5e, that would be a problem worth trying to solve. This is currently not the case, however. And while never having a reason to use a resource limited ability because a resource unlimited ability is just better is something I can see as a problem (even...

Does this non-stacking also apply to penalties?

Is it possible? Certainly. As far as I'm aware, however, there are no real guidelines for doing so.

I'm not. In fact, I've played (and run) chase sequences during combat quite often. Where I'm from, this usually ends up being resolved within the next round via focused fire on the escaping enemy, so chases during combat generally don't last long enough to run into any odd rule interaction...

Why are you applying the rigid combat framework to a chase scene?

As far as I'm concerned: Abjuration Scholar - Arcane Ward makes enough mention of magic that I feel it should be shut down by Antimagic Field (AMF). At least it's guaranteed to function as intended as long as the Abjurationist keeps their distance. Everything else is irrelevant. Bladesinger -...

Were I a betting man, I'd put my money with the Bladesinger. As the most martial and least magic dependent of the wizard subclasses, it should have a decisive advantage over the others should they choose to cast antimagic field on themselves as their concentration spell prior to initiative. "No...

As someone who's actually built a character around the concept of jumping good, option 1's perfectly fine. Sure, I get a little sad sometimes when I realize that (barring some friendly spell caster casting haste on me) I'll never actually make a theoretical max long jump (for the character in...

Not anyone else but myself, but here's an example with specificity: Technically speaking, I can play a tiefling (because they're in the phb) and be anything I want. However, I can't play a tiefling with a variant appearance and do the same, because wanting to have a forked tongue or tail locks...

You can't justify that which is unjustifiable.

Haven't played one yet, but I'd imagine a 'proper' Redemption Paladin would play in combat similar to how I played my life cleric: Prioritized helping people being attacked/harmed over nearly everything else Attempts to get hostile targets to stop being hostile through communication and...

Why not Ugg boots? Also, why boot a player?

If immutable form was intended to make the golem immune to certain (or all) damage types, they would have put the relevant damage immunities in its stat block, not given it a trait for it.

Just to note, the 6th printing of the Player's Handbook uses the lasts until it is dispelled version of True Polymorph. Why the change isn't noted in any errata I've been able to find is beyond me, though.

Neither Step of the Wind nor Jump (which the Ring of Jumping lets you cast) mention anything about only affecting base jump distance.

Just wanted to note that the ability to transfer characters from one table to another is the most important part of AL, and organized play in general.

Are you accepting / would you accept submissions of content from Xanathar's Guide in the same manner?

Aside from the attacker rolling a natural 20, how does the DM know an attack actually hit in the first place (without having the particular player's AC on hand, that is)?

I've always assumed that listed stats were the average stats for anything that wasn't an named/unique creature. Stat ranges doesn't seem like a bad idea, though- even if I would prefer a more templated approach. Alternatively, all creatures are 'built' on the same chassis (i.e. 3d6 + any...
