D&D Movie/TV 5 (nitpicking)) things the D&D Movie got wrong

[Scribe]

Are we seriously rehashing this inane canonicity argument again?

Ed is wrong about the multiple wild shapes. My son and I went over them, he is forgetting she's high enough level (we figured about 10th-12th, considering some of the spells being thrown about by her and Simon), allowing her to use her higher level spells for polymorph (since that was likely her only encounter for the day and it was desperation, she probably blew her 6th, 5th & 4th level spells in addition to her 2 standard wild shapes).

The book about her explains why and how she is able to wildshape into an owlbear. It was an emotional connection that triggered her ability to wildshape period.

AKA the DM made a house rule that said she could.

I thought the reason was that the movie characters are playing by the unreleased 1D&D rules

Edgin gave bardic inspiration to Simon, so that's a bard class ability.

I was waiting hopefully for him to cast vicious mockery.

Ed has a contract, FR canon rights are enmpowered by law, so Jeremy can say whatever he wants, its just him talking, the contract say what is and is not canon.

I wonder if a distinction is being drawn between canon for FR, and canon for "the D&D roleplaying game"?

Besides WotC's lawyers fold faster then a deck chair ever type WotC gets challenged in legally.

A guy from North Carolina and a guy from Wisconsin expected to win 100 million dollars with that logic.

There is a limit obviously, you actually have to reasonable case.

But it happened with the Dragonlanxe writers.

It happened with Gale Force 9

And it happened with the 1.2 OGL crap.

I had my nitpicks like the Bard not knowing any magic at all and the Druid wildshaping like 10 times in a row, but only real complaint is this:

EVERY fight but the Big Boss Battle at the end consisted of all the characters standing around while ONE character did all the fighting.

That is very much NOT D&D. Boredom would set in. The other players would riot.

He casts it on himself.
