RAI it's clear Friends is intended to only work on Humanoids and it's merely a victim of how it was written. It's such a trivial thing that I don't think it will be errata'ed. It's clear it's not meant to work with Beguiling Senses in the way the first post suggests. This reminds me of Pack...

This. Automatically succeeding is not the same as actually doing a DC saving throw. Yep. Here's the exact guidance from a section in page 19 of the 2024 DMG: Players Exploiting the Rules "Rules Rely on Good-Faith Interpretation. The rules assume that everyone reading and interpreting the rules...

Maybe; but sometimes understanding what something was in the past might help with understanding why it was changed. I have never played in GH since I started on The Realms, so I have no knowledge to form an opinion

Obviously some of the changes were made to avoid backlash like with the Hadozee controversy, while others were to be more inclusive of 5E content which wasn't part of the original setting. The few major events that were tweaked must also have a reason, but I'm not smart on GH to provide an opinion

Why did you put the 2024 tag when you reference 2014 rules? The 2024 MM hasn't released yet, and the 2024 encounter builder rules will make combat encounters more difficult. I suggest you change the tag to 2014 or General if the intent is to keep it to 2014 discussions. Btw, a 2014 "hard"...

I actually watched their video and I think it was awesome. It should hopefully dispel some of the doubts some have about the new encounter system

It's not that the new encounter rules aren't good once again, it's more like some are complaining about the adventuring day being removed. The new rules will make encounters more difficult to match the increased power the revised classes got, specially in T3/T4. (Edit: I have also seen...

There! Now that's a better comparison. Ghost Rider got stuck with the spirit of vengeance, so his power comes from the spirit, and if it leaves his body he loses most of his powers (not all)

Someone already pointed out that a better comparison is Ghost Rider; although I still think it's not an exact comparison. Edit: FINALLY! I can post again after 3 days of issues. Woooooo!

And what's not to say that updated versions of those tools are included in a future publication? Someone posted previously that in one of the conference's WotC mentioned a future publication that combines things from XGE and TCE. The design philosophy of the new DMG is useful advice for running...

I think what they're looking for is an honest-to-god checklist that goes step-by-step how to do things for most scenarios; otherwise I also don't get it.

This. The 2024 Core books are actually cheaper than the 2014 books if we factor inflation.

From a logical standpoint, it makes sense that the rules for creating a monster are moved to the Monster Manual since that's the book's whole purpose

Sigh...someone already spoiled it

Why get a staff, when a Shield Armor does the same and I can still have a Staff of "Whatever" to cast my awesome damage spell that I want to spam?

Posting for awareness. I haven't been able to see the video since I'm at work, but I'll check it afterwards.

Mundane diseases are no longer a thing, but magical diseases are still around. The DMG24 has an entry for them

I remember in one of the promo videos released in early October, Chris Perkins mentioned that rather than tell DMs how to make a setting, they would rather show you what one needs through example; hence the inclusion of Greyhawk.

Bro, you're reading too much into this. We know BG3 was a big driver in Q3 2023 for sales going up, and of course the absence of a product like BG3 in 2024 means a decrease is inevitable. However, you can't claim sales are down when the fact is that TTRPG sales are up 2% in Q3, per their own...
