    D&D General SD&D: Simply D&D

    There are already systems that do this. I wish those systems got more love so I wasn't stuck looking for games in a system everyone is trying to change. If we want a better system, why bother with WotC at all? The hobby is so much bigger than D&D. The system dosn't matter, the person running it...

    D&D 5E Heat Metal and whether constructs are both creatures and objects?

    Yep. It's all about what works for your table. When you play with the same people regularly, the game can morph into something unrecognizable to others. As long as the people who are actually involved are good with it, who else matters? If you hit a new table though, you should at least...

    D&D 5E Fluff & Rule, Lore & Crunch. The Interplay of Class, System, and Color in D&D

    That's more of a "buy-in" problem than a system problem. GURPS is a toolset. It may not force your hand, but it expects you buy into the fantasy. Or not, it leaves it up to the players.

    D&D General "Poison", and spells that change it: Spirit of the rules v letter?

    D&D doesn't really embrace "sympathetic magic"- which is kind of how one would come to the idea that salt is a poison in this instance. I would rule it doesn't work, unless I was willing to go to pretty big lengths to make sure other spells were allowed to follow the same conceit. There's really...

    D&D 5E Heat Metal and whether constructs are both creatures and objects?

    1. The spell really does not specify size. You can take that to mean any size, or you can use the examples to judge the intent. Most things "Tower" size are many objects put together. Up to you, but regardless the spell doesn't damage the thing it is cast on. Destroying objects is more a job for...

    D&D 5E The Turn Undead conundrum

    Turned undead can't willingly move into a space within 30 feet of you. That means that unless it was on the very edge of your range it can't move at all, because even moving away would require moving into a space within 30 feet of you. Almost any DM would say it doesn't work that way regardless...
