    D&D 5E (2014) Question about "on hit" reactions

    I think its cool any time a cleric invokes his deity and something very dramatic and otherwise impossible happens. It inspires awe and in a world of arcane magic and a host of different extraplanar visitors, it's one of the ways the gods remind people who's really at the top of the cosmic totem...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans RAW Can Start With multiple 18's

    It kind of depends on whether your DM will let you re-roll the character, and if so, how many times. If the dice are contrary and produce a Character 1 or Character 5 and you have to stick with it, you may be in trouble. I'd be inclined to let a player roll one or two sets of stats and then...

    That's my read too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Disengage

    Just curious - how are they getting an attack and disengage action in the same round?

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    I think this is why the +1 to all stats is a real advantage. Humans can avoid having a dump stat and still have a decent modifier in their primary abilities. Non-humans can excel at a couple of stats each, but are stuck with their low ones, particularly if their class emphasizes a stat not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Find Steed and controlling that Steed

    My reading of the "Controlling a Mount" section (p. 198) is that you can control an unintelligent mount or let it act independently, but that an intelligent mount is always acting independently. It may follow your commands, but is doing so willingly just like any ally might. So you'd basically...

    MiPS Lost Mine [IC]

    Vottr glances over at Cae briefly and winks. "Mornin', elfie." He slaps a meaty hand at the boards next to where his massive pack rests, indicating Cae can drop her own beside it to unburden herself as they wait. Of note, a shovel and miner's pick are strapped the the back, with a bucket tied...

    MiPS Lost Mine [IC]

    "Aye. Vottr Rockseeker, and well met." Vottr looks the halfling up and down. "Uncle's not in yet. Should be around soon, I reckon. Ye worked for him long?"

    MiPS Lost Mine [IC]

    Vottr lumbers down the streets of Neverwinter, his great steel-headed maul resting over his shoulder and the long braids of his beard swaying as he goes. He nods a friendly greeting to two Mintran mercenaries he meets, but as they pass out of view, the dwarf curses under his breath silently...

    Thanks! Gonna tweak my character history slightly to better fit your opening narration on the game thread.

    Awesome! Anyone recommend a good web-based dice roller?

    D&D 5E (2014) Someone In the art department...

    I was surprised to see them convert the paladin's mount to an option accessed via a version of the find familiar spell (which I thought was very good design), but not do the same for the druid and ranger.

    Yeah, I'm just being silly. I actually discussed using spells to build up a Druid companion over time in an earlier thread.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do players spend their treasure on?

    That deserves XP as well, but alas I must spread some around first.

    D&D 5E (2014) Beastmaster's animal companion: can it survive for 2 rounds?

    I also wonder if some folks may have Guenwyvar as a subconscious template for a ranger's companion, forgetting that it's a figurine of wondrous power, not a real animal. (Not necessarily the OP - just picking up on the subconscious expectation theme in general.)

    didn't get the memo that 5e Druids have no animal companions... :p

    I went with a dwarf fighter. Looks like we need a rogue (although the cleric is looking kind of roguish himself).
