    D&D 5E ALL BEAST MASTERS HELP ME

    From a DM's point of view, I agree with you, but I think when you're talking about an animal companion for a PC, it's a bit different. Running ambushes is a pretty heavy playstyle investment for the whole party, and while that can work for some groups and campaigns, a lot of the time, you just...

    D&D 5E Why is animate dead considered inherently evil?

    I would say that's more of a consequentialism vs. deontological ethics thing, rather than to do with relativism. I've actually had a very similar argument to this come up in a campaign I'm in. My PC, who falls much more on the deontological side, found that it's very difficult to argue ethics...

    D&D 5E ALL BEAST MASTERS HELP ME

    In that case, yeah, studded leather barding will run you 180 gp and boost Muffin's AC by 2, which should help a bit short-term. If you want her to be survivable long-term, the Mounted Combatant feat is probably your best bet. 4 HP/level isn't a lot, especially since she needs to be on the front...

    D&D 5E Why is animate dead considered inherently evil?

    To quote Brennan Lee Mulligan, “Really hard to be a freshman year relativist in a world with Baator and Mount Celestia.”

    D&D 5E Why is animate dead considered inherently evil?

    Personally, I feel like stuff like this is best handled on a more narrative basis by the DM and the player involved hashing out how they want to handle it. In my experience, all the rules tend to do is make things goofier and less satisfying. Like, the Atonement spell has always felt silly to me.

    D&D 5E ALL BEAST MASTERS HELP ME

    I think OP might be using the Primal Companion rules from Tasha's, since as you point out, the rules details given here don't make sense otherwise. At 3rd level, a "giant spider" with the Beast of the Land statblock would have AC 15. If that's the case, then OP would probably want to use medium...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    To this, I'm not as worried, since the proceeds from the eOne sale should both reduce debt and add a good bit of cash in Q4. I'll admit to being a bit biased towards paying attention to earnings, since they factor very heavily into calculating price projections, but I'm still inclined to think...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Expert here. "Making numbers look better" isn't quite the right way to look at it. These layoffs will lead to actual cost savings, which investors like because those drive earnings per share higher. I don't have the document in front of me right now but I think it's something like $100 million...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Yeah, pretty much. With regards to whether selling off eOne was a good idea or not, I don't think we really have the data to make that judgement. However, my gut is that selling it off now is actually reasonable and that the mistake was buying it when they did, for what they paid for it, in the...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Essentially. When talking about a publicly traded company, being a sustainable business isn't actually good enough, there need to be meaningful year over year earnings gains to propel the stock price higher. (Standard disclaimer before going further: My posts here are for informational purposes...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Hi! I'm a professional securities analyst, meaning it's my job to look at companies and recommend whether people should buy stock in them or not, and I just made an account here to comment on this specific issue, because it seems like a lot of people don't know how to parse what actually seems...
