So Far Step which was in Xanathar's Guide was a 5th level spell with 1 minute concentration duration and the ability to teleport 60 feet as a bonus action for every one of those rounds. Theoretically it's like being able to cast a longer range Misty Step 10 times. But I noticed that many...

The 2024 DMG mentions the Gloaming Court which is the Unseelie Court stand-in and the Summer Court which is the Seelie Court stand-in. 5e Feywild is a mixture of elements from all previous editions, with some of it's own things like Domains of Delight. I remember that 2e Monster Mythology had...

Based on the fact we have Artificer as the 13th class, and signs pointing towards Psion as the 14th class with it's 2nd UA showing it's likely going to be in something. Given that they are going at a slower rate at for introducing new classes than they did for 3e and probably never are going to...

Going more into the idea of the 3.5e Psion and it's 6 disciplines, the only ones that aren't sort of covered by the subclasses in the UA playtest is Clairsentience and Metacreation. Seer Clairsentience in 3.5e was basically Divination with some more directly useful for combat spells. But I...

I noticed that Topaz Dragons back in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons had reverse wings but it looks like the art for them (linked below) in the Book of Dragons really emphasizes that feature on them. Is it really that "controversial"? I like that they're wings are that way, along with the...

Now that there's Weapon Mastery, what about there being an option like Skill Mastery? What I envision them being is something like cantrip or weapon mastery, expect that it's a special effect that happens when taking a certain type of action. For example: Read Opponent Skill: Insight Action...

It hasn't been a year yet for the 2024 PHB, but it's been more than a year since they've been included in the playtests and almost a year since we've seen some art for them from the PHB previews? We've definitely had the classic Stone Goliaths as the vision of what Goliaths were since 3.5e, but...

So assuming it's a campaign setting that's roughly in the 1800s for technology and other things, and still a highly magical world. Especially a Steampunk with magitech type setting, but also other fiction that generally takes place in that century like Gothic Victorian Horror and Westerns...

Of the utility Cantrips, Prestidigitation seems to be the most versatile to use in a lot of situations (cleaning, making chores simpler, showing off), but what of the others like Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft and Elementalism which seem to be a lot more limited in their capabilities? I'm thinking in...

So I'm thinking on the concept of a great underwater empire that spans all the seas in a world and might be the most powerful nation in that world. They might have originally been from the surface before their great city sank into the ocean, or they just might have been in the ocean this whole...

So Druids can most definitely use Muskets if they go for the Warden Primal Order. And while they don't have True Strike on their spell list they could probably get that easily enough with the right feat or species choice, so it'll make sense that a Druid with a Musket would probably use True...

Something needs to be done on an eclipse, some the powerful archmage wishes for there to be an eclipse. They were cautious enough to mention it should happen almost immediately, so that the wish wouldn't transport them to a time when there was or will be an eclipse. Could their wish cause a...

There's quite a few quotes in the new Monster Manual and this time more noteworthy than the ones in the 2014 MM. Some of them are characters like Iuz or Tasha/Iggwilv. One of them is Vi in the Blob of Annihilation entry using perhaps the first instance of a certain 4 letter word in 5e at...

I noticed that some monsters in the new MM have gotten different default alignments. Most noticeable are Goblins being Chaotic Neutral (formerly Neutral Evil) and Kobolds being Neutral (formerly Lawful Evil) now. We've certainly seen the shift of Goblins becoming an unruly trickster type fey...

Often brought up on the subject of Goblins being Fey in the Monster Manual, but I feel that species such as Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbears which are Humanoids as PCs but have the Fey Ancestry Trait where they get Advantage on saves against and to end the Charmed condition is usually more...

This is related to the idea that Owlbears must somehow be creations of Wizards because they're a combination of different animals. Well we have the Platypus a creature that's a weird combinations of something like a Beaver with a Duck, surely that must be just as magical as an Owlbear. And if...
