Because while the order of actions may not yet have become important, measuring the amount of time elapsed has. For example, spells have been cast, and many times spells have durations measured in rounds.

In the DMG, the entries of Fire Immunity and Cold Immunity say the creature who has them also has vulnerability to the opposite type. In the MM the same descriptions are given, except they are under specific elemental subtypes. Is immunity to fire or cold energy type the same as Fire or Cold...

I'm wondering if there is some sort of system to reward a DM as a "player," for the hard work creating adventures. If not, perhaps some suggestions for a way to create one? The player characters get treasure and experience/levels, so what do the DMs get for all their hard work? The...

My DM says I need to make a survival check to harvest the hide from a dead dragon. As far as I can tell, that is an assumption (a logical assumption, but an assumption nonetheless,) without any support from the source material. It's not something I necessarily disagree with, but I just want to...

My DM is saying that SoD (Save or Die) spells, (Phasmasmal Killer being the spell in question.) still deal "damage," just doing enough damage to reduce hit points to -10, and are thus turned into non-lethal damage by regenerators (trolls being the example encountered.) So unless an SoD can be...
