In my group there are at least these patterns:
- are you a moon druid?
- are you attacking everything, always, under the guise of protecting the party?
In my group there are at least these patterns:


I have used both types of distance calculation in different campaigns. I agree that the ‘alternating’ rule is better, but I’ve also seen that it confuses some players and in that case slows down combat.
I’m currently using the phb rule. My players have just gained access to fireball and similar AoE spells, and I use the actual circular spell effects
So far I have not seen the players actively abusing this, so for now I’m just ignoring the weird distance effects


Mathematically, a circle is defined by all points that have the same distance to the center point. In d&d on a grid, distances are measured in 5ft squares, where a diagonal distance is the same as an orthogonal distance. This results in mathematical circles being square on a 5e/5.5e d&d grid
so, one fireball, having a mathematical 20 ft radius, can completely fill a square room of 40x40 ft.
Yes I know the book has a circular template for spell effects. However, using that on a grid has the weird effect that a target can be in a place that is 20 ft removed from the center (diagonally) but at the same time not be in the area of effect of a fireball cast on that center point


always more rewarding than a second hand job
That is true, for the 2014 (5e) version
The 2024 / 5.5e version rules no longer have the “two-weapon fighting” subsection - the rule is now merged into the description of the ‘light’ weapon property
Not completely right
(5.5e) Two-weapon fighting is a Fighting Style that only some classes can get.
Dual Wielder is a general Feat that any character of level 4 with str or dex 13 or higher can take.
Anyone can dual wield when their main weapon has the Light property.


Nitpicky, but 2 out of 3 core rulebooks of the 2024 version were released in 2024, not just one.
Using year labeling of your product is generally a bad idea, imho, because it makes it appear outdated really quick.


I have a small site with no robots.txt . Google search console still shows the same number of search results as in the last few months (around 800/month)

The logo reminded me of the peppermints brand King (that originated in the town I live in). The edge of their packaging always featured the red symbol much like yours.
Peppermint (the herb, not the sweets) is also known for its healing properties.
You roll it, it drops off the table and stops 15 yards meters away–if you’re lucky.
Or the cat thinks you finally have time for them and playfully pushes the ball die under the couch.
I think my d30 is good enough.
Insight check! I think they’re just trying to deceive us, that this actually is an attempt to LFG.
Jon and Bodhi are also playing their part as Group Patrons in the official 5e (published by WotC on dmsguild) book “Minsc and Boo’s Journal of Villainy”
Including quests, stat blocks, lore, and special group perks.
Applying real world logic to game rules never works out.
Also, you forget to take into account the weapon’s mass, form, structural integrity, the commoner’s reaction time, probability to fumble, the force of the wind, and probably a few dozen other factors that have an effect in the real world.
Just don’t. It’s a game.


You mean I, II, III, IV, IX, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI, XII


If you look up the definition for an Object, it specifies that it is “a nonliving, distinct thing” — such as a corpse.
However, the definition of Creature does not say it must be living. So, a corpse is both a creature and an object.
There are even creatures that have never been living — such as constructs — and thus are also objects.


It’s pretty easy for players. You can lock everything and give them access to their own token(s) only. The player can pan and zoom their own view, but when required you can sync all player views with your current view.
I’ve used Owlbear Rodeo in online sessions with co-workers that had never before played any ttrpgs, and it went great.


I use Owlbear Rodeo
It has maps, tokens, fog of war and some small tools like a pointer and a measuring tool for distances — everything I need.
If required you can install extensions but so far I do not really use that.
My previous character was a Dwarf Marine (barbarian, path of the ancestral guardian). He was wielding an anchor as a 2-handed weapon.
He met his fate killing a sub-boss. (that is: a boss that came from the sea floor, the captain of a submersible galleon)
The original dndbeyond form fillable 5e character sheet had 3 extra, blank skill entries.
I don’t think I have ever used them
