The rules for AOO states you can make a melee opportunity attack when a hostile creature moves out of reach. It does not specify that you need to be holding or use a melee weapon for this attack. So if you are holding a bow can you hit someone with it as an improvised weapon, or...

Keep in mind a round is 6 seconds and the guy being interrogated will presumably challenge the intrusion every turn. This means, assuming you stay "on the surface" The PCs will get out on short question, see the thoughts and then have to win a challenge to stay in his head and get in another...

Slashing, Bludgeoning and peircing damage type "appears" in stoneskin. The description of the class says nothing about the substitution spell needing to deal a damage type or even have a damage type, it says the damage type must appear in the spell. Strict RAW that is pretty clear IMO. The...

Only if your sole purpose is beating damage resistance. It won't "see you right" if you want the subclass to be varied and optioned and allow your fireball to be able to take 6 different damage forms and use a different damage type every time you cast it simply for flavor or to be cool. I get...

This is my point, the rules as they are allow you to do almost anything you want in combat. If the player wants to do something and he does not know how just ask the DM - Player: " I want Tulip (halfing) to jump inside the dragons mouth and pour the potion of poison down his throat." DM...

Thanks I will check it out. In general though, I find treantmonk seems to be very focused on combat in his reviews, and if that is your metric I would agree. IMO the free skill or tool proficiency switchable at every SR at 3rd level is a better feature than the soul trinkets. Not as...

Ahh got it!

It is in Tasha's and is official already and the exact language is posted above.

Yes, the slot not the spell. So you can use stoneskin to cast any spell 4th level or less by using a 4th level slot. For example, you can use stoneskin to cast a fireball using a 4th level slot and dealing slashing damage or you can cast a 4th level magic missile doing 6d4+6 slashing damage...

You only get to choose 4 spells of each level (8 first) and some of them are going to be spells with no damage mentioned like mage armor, identify and comprehend languages, this is going to give you very few options for changing damage for everything except very low level spells. It is going to...

I don't really agree with that, you can squeeze a lot of people into a 10x10 room, but 4 people fighting with swords in a 10x10 room is pretty cramped and they are going to be bumping into each other all the time, and I can't really imagine 4 people with swords fighting effectively in a 6x6 room...

I noticed several on another thread down voted the Phantom Rogue. Why is that? When I look at the subclass,"whispers of the dead" seems to be an awesome ability at 3rd level, allowing proficiency in any tool or skill for a day. It would seem this has all sorts of utility from identifying...

Neutral good is a better descriptor for John Snow. He abandoned his post and killed his queen (who was part of his family). He also when against, tradition, convention and the law to side with the wildlings. He did those things for the right reasons, but they were against tradition, family...

I think few Dwarves and Elves spend 100+ years adventuring in a typical D&D setting. They start around 50 and 100 respectively, but are probably either retired, or more likely dead (of unatural causes) by 100 and 150 respectively. Just like an 70 year old human is likely retired or dead.

Thanks for the exact verbiage. That is consistent with what I remember. Your interpretation though is completely the opposite of mine. The "slashing damage type" .... "appears" in stoneskin so you can use it on any 4th level spell or less. I am pretty sure that is the intent, otherwise you...

I don't think the part I underlined above is actually correct. I don't have my manual with me because I am at a hotel, but I think the actual verbiage is "...... you must know a spell of the slot level or higher where the damage type appears ...." "Appears" is different than "does" that damage...

Absolutely not. Including the options in the DM guide, there are I think 18 different actions you can take as actions besides cast a spell, and that includes improvising an action. Not all of them are always available but most of them generally are. If your players do not have meaningful...

Not really and it is not just one player, you can bring a fireball down right on top of the party and not damage yourself. It is far easier to hit AOE spells on multiple enemies with an invoker. That is one of their tricks, just like the sorcerer examples you gave are one of a sorcerer's or...
