[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8641791, member: 87792"] Honestly I'm seeing a lot of PHB and very little of Tasha's in there. The only two things I see of Tasha's are the Twilight regenerating temp hp nonsense and the ability for the warlock to use a 1/day ability to hide and be carried around. Oh, and one thing I believe doesn't actually work; Sneak Attack requires a finesse or a ranged weapon and eldritch blast is no form of weapon therefore can't get sneak attack. What I am seeing on the other hand is a lot of 5e being 5e, especially in a sandbox campaign where the players get to nova a lot of the time. For anything that sandboxy I tend to turn on the "gritty rest" rules for a short rest being an overnight sleep and a long rest being a long lazy weekends somewhere safe. Again this all feels like 5e being 5e. Yes, Twilight's ability to share darkvision can be annoying - but far too many races in 5e have darkvision and for those that don't Darkvision is a second level spell in the PHB on four separate spell lists (plus artificer and the shadow monk). With two clerics and a wizard in that party (plus the warlock having devil's sight) everyone having darkvision all through the night and other periods of darkness was inevitable. I have absolute and complete sympathy with you for finding that you were wrestling against the system. My only point of disagreement is in your blaming Tasha's when almost everything you mention you had to wrestle against other than the warlock hopping into their ring was in the PHB. It's one of the many reasons I consider 5e a bad game for DMs. [/QUOTE]
