There's a big difference between: A) Title: "DnD is dying!!!", Video: unhinged diatribe about how WotC sucks, DnD sucks, you should be outraged about everything, etc B) Title: "Is DnD Dying?!?", Video: No it's actually not, but WotC did do something recently that wasn't great, here's what I like...

This used to annoy me until Professor DM did a great rebuttal video, walking through details on how Youtube algorithms force click-bait titles/thumbnails if you want your videos to show up in peoples' feeds. Watching that video made me angry but not at him. I respect the player even though I...

It's not an OGL thing or a DnD thing. Humans in general are hooked on rage clicks, that's why social media works

I'm going to disagree with most of the advice above and say the best class for players brand new to DnD is whichever one you think looks the coolest. In my experience most brand new players roleplay their first PC as basically themselves in a fantasy world. If you go that route then you want...

I simultaneously have way too much, am completely content with how much I have, and yet always need more

If Superman performed many noble, good, and selfless acts, plus some overwhelmingly evil acts, then that sounds like Neutral to me

Technically true, "one action" is not the correct wording to use. It's still just one (very evil) aspect of the character, and we don't really know anything about the rest of their backstory or the way they'll be played in the campaign Umbran described it well above, when taken as an...

Do you plan the play the character during the campaign as Neutral or as Evil? I would base the alignment choice on how you plan the character moving forward I would say that the Orc Stone backstory stuff is indeed Evil, but one single action doesn't determine the morality of your entire life.

2025 version of Deer has an ability called Agile which makes it not provoke opportunity attacks when it moves outside an enemies reach. No disengage required. It is a Medium sized beast though so this idea only works if your PC is Small sized

Seems obvious to me that they DID intend for Drag and Carry rules to apply to the Grappled condition, seeing as how the wording specifically states "The grappler can drag or carry you when it moves...". I highly doubt they chose those two specific words and didn't intend for them to link to the...

Why would that be rare though? Literally every martial PC has more than one weapon in their inventory, why wouldn't NPCs be similar?

Pretty much just this. Forget the character death, you can always roll a new character. Were you having fun up to that point? If so then I'd stick with the group, roll up a new character and continue having fun. If you weren't having a good time previously and this instance is just the...

I'm not implying anything about cheating or being adversarial. I just think it's unrealistic to think that the DM has prepared a list of every single item in the inventory of every single NPC that you come across. This isn't a video game. Improvising details on the fly is standard operating...

It's not like the players can see the enemies' inventory sheets though. The DM decides on the spot whether they have another weapon available. There is zero chance that it stops any Martial enemy that the DM doesn't allow to be stopped.

DROP is great for securing extra loot (and for wasting their turn), but all the high level martial-type big bad has to do is draw another weapon during their next attack

Their moral compass has never changed. It is unwavering, unflinching, always pointed directly towards the $ Also nothing in the snippet linked above is inconsistent with their previous claims of not allowing AI art. For example when he says "We believe the winners in AI will be companies that...

I thought about using that house rule but instead went with the ruling that when the grappler moves, the grappled target gets to decide which square(s) on the map they are dragged into (must be a legal position within 5ft of the grappler). This also fixes the silliness of "I make you fall off a...

It's definitely strong but I'd say that's overall a good thing* that Martial characters have new battlefield control options *As long as you aren't combining it with Spike Growth. Grapple Monks are gamebreakingly OP (like thousands of damage per round) with Haste + Spike Growth. That's when...
