And why would I as a caster care about removing disadvantage from shooting with someone next to me, when almost every spell I want to use targets a save and doesn't care anyway...
Clearly you're not a warlock.And why would I as a caster care about removing disadvantage from shooting with someone next to me, when almost every spell I want to use targets a save and doesn't care anyway...
You mean Telekinetic is... Well, OneDnD doesn't have it yet, I guess.Clearly you're not a warlock.
(It's basically a must-have feat for warlocks now.)
Is Bob within one size category of the dragon? If not, he cannot.Why is it that Bob can grapple a giant or dragon & drag or carry it but the giant or dragon can't drag or carry the puny human they could juggle?
It has been explicitly allowed by the rules since 2014... If it wasn't in the rules, you would be severely punished for playing anything martial that wasn't an archer who can actually always get all of their attacks off.I really dislike the moving between attacks already present in 5e though, ironically this makes it worse by explicitly allowing it rather than allowing it by omission.
"MOVING AROUND OTHER CREATURESIs Bob within one size category of the dragon? If not, he cannot.
There are a lot of other things factoring in now to make it dramatically worse like the ability to draw or sheath a weapon any attack, the explicit ability to move through occupied spaces as difficult terrain if the creature in the space isn't tiny, weirdly also the explicit ability to move through the space of a creature that is two sizes larger or smaller as difficult terrain. tiny creatures don't hold a space either, they just don't count as difficult terrain.It has been explicitly allowed by the rules since 2014...

You were talking about grappling a dragon, not running between its legs."MOVING AROUND OTHER CREATURES"
This was also always the rule vs critters 2 sizer smaller/larger than you.weirdly also the explicit ability to move through the space of a creature that is two sizes larger or smaller
Before you decry the blight of melee though remember all of that works the same way when the Fire Giant or Tarrasque wants to walk through the warriors to geek the mage or whatever.
I think you are focused on only one of of the glossary entries in play here & dismissing all of them because that one's not too significant. The problems related to this come up in multiple places because the glossary has multiple items that each add their own problems to the mix.You were talking about grappling a dragon, not running between its legs.
It was not the rule not for every other creature of any size to move through the space of any small or larger creature as if difficult terrain. That's a big problem.This was also always the rule vs critters 2 sizer smaller/larger than you.
True for the grapple from unarmed strike but there's no reason other abilities can't initiate a grapple or allow a PC to count as a larger creature, There's still a A can carry/drag B but B can't carry/drag A and all of B's movement types are zero problem though. Saying that it was broken before is hardly an excuse for explicitly shining a spotlight on the broken part or adding other stuff to amplify the problem.They always could if those people were 2 sizes smaller... and the frontline never had anything but GM playing the monsters dumb to make them relevant, anyway. The threat of a single opportunity attack is not exactly worrisome (and actually a bunch of wolves/goblins swarming past you is more troublesome, at least you could hope to Sentinel-stop the single giant).
Yeah with this change I am very tempted to give my PCs a level of exhaustion if they go down in combat.A lot of interesting changes in here. The one that immediately caught my eye was Exhaustion. Now with 10 levels before death, with each level resulting in a -1 to all d20 tests. I wonder if being knocked unconscious and failing death saving throws will now come with exhaustion levels.
All of them are problems even if some were problems before as well Want to hold a door or narrow hallway against a bunch of small or medium sized monsters? Nope! they can move right through your space too because as a small or larger creature you as a PC only count as difficult terrain for any creature.
