The point you're trying to make (emphasis mine), while considered by many DMs as a logical interpretation, is not actually RAW. Only two limitations are given by the official rules on stealth: You must not be seen or heard by the creature from which you're trying to hide. Whether or not that...

As far as game balance is concerned, I can't find any problems with this system. The amount of RP that is awarded still lies mostly in your hands, so you can always adjust if necessary. About new assets, what happens when a player wants a particular item that can't be found in any existing...

What happens with the PC's original class? I assume that it simply goes away, but what about feats and race features? Will the player have any control over when the character transforms? I would say it looks quite nice, although always-on raging seems a bit strong. Perhaps you could balance it...

Right, I thought this was pretty obvious, but apparently not; that entire post was sarcastic.

I can do you all one better! Here's how I'd word my Readied Action: I ready the attack action, and I want to take it when I move my finger! Certainly, moving your finger a tiny little bit doesn't take any sort of action, and the only conditions that would prevent you from doing that also...

Actually, at least in the case of spells, they have all but completed their action: You're obviously still free to rule it either way, but at the very least your assumption that they have not yet begun to take their action is wrong by RAW.

Sounds like a lot of fun! Side effect (or perhaps intentional) of the Improvisation Expert feature: Everything is now a thrown weapon with range 20/60, with your regular attack bonus and martial arts damage. This means you can be throwing around chopsticks, packs of cards, beer bottles, etc...

I specifically used the word 'command', as that is the word the PHB generally uses in reference to giving orders to other creatures. I never said you don't control the hand using a bonus action, merely implied that it isn't a creature and cannot take an action in response to you controlling it...

No. Your Mage Hand is not like some sort of summoned creature that you can command using a bonus action. As such, it can't actually take any actions, it's simply just an extra hand (albeit a floating magic one with a few specific additional options, as listed in the spell itself or the 'Mage...

Fair enough! What might be another good tactic for hordes, is to simply use the 'Shove' attack action to try and knock him prone. This will give all subsequent attackers advantage, at least until he gets up again on his turn. But if there's something like 6 attackers who all get 2 attacks, and...

Why do you feel the need to stop him? Paladins are designed to be juggernauts, and chances are that's exactly why the player has chosen to play one. That's fine! If, on the other hand, the player is bored and never feels threatened, I understand the need to challenge the PC a bit more once in a...

Yes. The only thing that you circumvent by taking the extra 10 minutes to cast a spell as a ritual, is the use of a spell slot. All other requirements still apply.

You called?

This seems strange. Why would you gain a bonus to, say, a persuasion or a history check just because you're in the forest and you happen to like being in the forest? I'd restrict this to Survival, Stealth, Perception and Investigation. Maybe Athletics and/or Acrobatics as well.

Disobey at your own risk ;) And thank you for the xp!

I'd say it depends on who created the code and for what purpose. Was the creator particularly intelligent or practiced in creating ciphers? For whom was it made? Was it a simple message or something more important? How would the receiving party have decoded the message? If you need a key to...

Well, although I've also had to re-register, at least this time I bothered to set an avatar :p So I guess it's not all bad :)
