Why not Boris?

One thing that I have not seen mentioned is that, if someone is optimizing to hyper-focus on one thing, they are going to leave themselves vulnerable elsewhere. GMs can take advantage and split the group. Put the character(s) in situations where the group is either split up by external forces...

I have said the following in other threads. There are several types of optimization and not all forms include power gaming or mini-maxing, I distinguish between the three and none of which need include cheating which is a separate issue. Player motivations can play a role in the type of...

Regarding slings, Ludus Ludorum had a great web article, A Defense of the Humble Sling. https://ludusludorum.com/2016/05/12/a-defense-of-the-humble-sling/

The rewrite sounds interesting. Have you shared it online?

Personally, I would like to break the Swashbuckler off into the subclass of a new light/ no armored warrior maneuver based classs with Corsairs/ pirates, ,Edo period samurai, Fencers and courtly sword duelists, musketeers, swashbucklers etc. being subclasses. Otherwise, I agree with the...

Sadly, the 2014 team did not go back and address it during the PHB creation after the design philosophy was nailed down. And the design team discarded the philosophy during the 2014 Edition after Mearls left as head of the D&D team.

Dragons are a lot larger than a bear or deer (with the possible exception of some baby dragons and something like a faerie dragon).

I would not expect them to know how hard it is to track a dragon or evade a giant as they don't exist in our world :P However, unless the dragon is flying, I imagine their large size would result in obvious foot prints while their body would leave signs of broken branches and damaged trees and...

Yep and Mike Mearls had stated in an episode of his old Happy Fun Hour series that the Bard should have received its subclass at first level to address this issue, but the class design philosophy had not been finished prior to the development of several of the classes,

To your list, I would add the following two magic items from Archer: Fugitive of the Empire (a.k.a Archer and the Sorceress, a.k.a Der Zauberbogen): Toran's Heartbow Estra's Charm Necklace: Summons a snake, horse, or panther by touching the appropriate charm. There might have been a fourth...

It is a great benefit. However, going into Walmart has the benefit of ensuring an item is in stock. On more than one occasion, the website stated that a grocery item is not in stock, but it on the shelf when physically entering the store.

No, although they do own a streaming purchase as part of their purchase of Vizio. I was just stating those things, because supermarket in the U.S. can also refer to a large grocery store that does not sell gardening supplies, electronics, clothing, etc.

Apparently, they made a movie available on Roku and a series. They also bought television manufacturer Vizio last December. The purchase also included Vizio's streaming service.

Yes, the delivery is waived for members, but there is a minimum purchase.

Walmart is the largest retailer in the U.S. They sell food, clothes, electronics, auto supplies, office supplies, books, games, gardening equipment, and more. In my area, they also do auto repair and have a pharmacy (I am not sure if these are universal)

In our house, we have subscriptions to YouTube TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu with ads, Paramount+ (Essential Plan), and Peacock. I contribute to YouTube TV and Netflix and pay Amazon Prime (have discount). Hulu comes free with the phone plans of two house members. Paramount+ Essential is...

The same here.

It depends upon the game. Before purchasing or after purchasing, but before reading: I might house rule after I read/ watch online designer interviews, reviews, or excerpts, but before buying the book- especially, if the game is an iteration or variant of a game that I have played. The same...
