[Tales and Chronicles]

what is a rave?

just the auto-correct of @Parmadur for race

 

[Justice and Rule]

I'm fine if they don't. I prefer my monsters anyway

I have no doubts. Homebrew monsters are still the best because you can match them to your campaigns. Hopefully, though, they give us some good ideas to steal.

Accidentally Crit leading to a character death? What is an accidental Crit? And are your players aware that getting into monster fights can lead to death?

I think it is because a crit can kill a 1st or 2nd level character in a very unintuitive way

I will admit that I think it's stupid that Monsters won't be able to do Critical Hits anymore.

Yes? That’s not accidental. If a PC crits a goblin and slays it outright is that an accident?

I'm just posting what he said or implied. His point was that monsters have "crit powers" like a dragon's breath that are controlled by the DM (with still some recharge variability for "fun"). So the DM can chose to kill the players instead of it happening accidentally when you roll a crit out in the open.

I am going back and forth on this one

It is if Goblin Slayer did it.
