It's nowhere near most. As long as it happens sometimes, that's enough to keep the players from engaging the 5 MWD.

Then what's the point of the tool and tool proficiency?

I'll chime in as another DM who has degrees of success. I also started using success with a cost for narrow failed rolls, though I do like @Parmandur's d6 idea. I'm going to have to think about that one for a while. What I don't do, is just have success with the roll determining cost...

Wow. I very strongly disagree with this. The idea that you can't know anything without a book in your hand is doesn't make any sense. A PC wizard should be able to look at some magical phenomenon and not need a book(tools) in order to figure out what it is.

Yes they can. Perhaps these scouts/hunting party/whatevers have a village close by with wargs to ride back very quickly. Sure they can. They may or may not have more of them close by. No, but he can go and ask his two stone giant friends if they would come back and take care of some pesky...

On the internet?

Perhaps they could figure out a way to alter the creature created to destroy the cancerous dungeon growths and make into a creature that changes the cancerous dungeon growths into regenerative beacons. Create enough of them and the world could reverse its downward spiral.

My games tend to be more middle ground, leaning a bit towards hopeful. Sometimes I run despair, but that's uncommon. Perhaps especially because of the state of the world. I want to run something that leans towards were I want things to go, rather than something that just feeds on and...

I like Tyrants of the Underdark even more. Both are great games.

I'd be curious to know as well. It has been a very long time since I've done retail. Well before the influencer craze that has hit us.

You'd think, but way back when I did retail sales I worked at a bed and bath store. A woman walked up to me with an arm full of stuff she had picked out for her new bathroom and asked me what color I thought would go best with her bathroom(I forget the color now). I recommended a different...

I used to count how many of them I saw on the road, but now it's too many to bother with. Hell, there are several that drop kids off at my son's school. At this point I just look for weird colors.

That's really weird, because yesterday I saw my first woman cybetruck truck driver and had to do a double take.

The 1st edition was 1e. There were other games of D&D like the one you are referencing there, but those weren't editions of D&D the way that 1e-5e are. Calling anything but 1e the first edition is just going to cause confusion.

The spell lists in the monster books are just examples of the spells some of those creatures have handy. The books tell DMs to feel free to swap out spells as they see fit. A lot more creatures than you are listing can and do have access to dispel magic if the DM wants to change things up.

The games I ran all went to between 15th and 20th level and I had no issues with 2 short rests per day. The same with the games I played in that went up that high, which was most of them. During those games, not a single class went unrepresented. That means that if you are seeing these...
