@Someone_Evil I mean, my immediate reference is the Berserker subclass, which people tend to argue is actually too weak. Unless I've missed something really obvious, I don't think this subclass can out-DPR the Berserker.
@Someone_Evil Strictly speaking, 5e doesn't use a grid in its rules, only in a variant rule provided by the DMG; but my own variant rule to use with grids wouldn't be a terrible idea.
So I was just wondering because I was thinking of providing a situation where my players travel to a different plane and they come back and its 100 years later. I know I could homebrew it, but I want to know if there is anything official so I don't dm bs my players.
Relatively few spells in D&D 5e require a Charisma saving throw, and when they do it's often difficult to describe the in-game reasons for why they require such a throw.
One of my players told me that the Charisma saving throw for Banishment is essentially a check on the target's sheer "force of...
On another question, it was concluded that a creature could gain exhaustion levels, while being immune to the effects of those levels.
Assume we have a druid/barbarian(beserker subclass).
The druid hasn't been sleeping for a few nights, and so has 2 levels of exhaustion. There's a blizzard goi...
So, the fighter subclass brute has an ability that lets him add a D6 to any saving throw, and if the total adds to 20, it counts as a natural 20. If this happens on a Death saving throw, it means he will come back to 1 hit point.
Does this apply to natural 1's as well? That means he would be im...
The section on Exhaustion states:
[...] Finishing a long rest reduces a creature's exhaustion level by 1, provided that the creature has also ingested some food and drink [...]
However, there are various ways to no longer require food or drink such as the Monk's Timeless Body feature:

@Xirema It's technically in the PHB (p. 192), but my point was that 5e is fairly consistently designed to also work seamlessly with playing an a grid and not. Distances less than 5 ft are awkward in that regard because a lot of the rules work with 5 ft as the smallest distance that's going to come up
The Players Handbook has the following optional traits for humans:
Variant Human Traits
If your campaign uses the optional feat rules from chapter 7, your Dungeon Master might allow these variant traits, all of which replace the human's Ability Score Increase trait.

@Someone_Evil Although not essential to use a "grid", it does use "five feet" as a 'Standard Unit', meaning that your sort of working on a grid, even if not explicitly using one.
Yeah I always found the fact that grid-play is optional to be a bit of a lie... Nearly every distance in the game is designed to work with grid-play which means anything having to do with a distance less than 5 feet isn't defined in the rules. And clearly, when not using grid-play, distances of less than 5 feet come up
Though the rules in the DMG about where to place Areas of Effects and whatnot are actually specific to using a grid, so there's that. I typically find grids helpful, until you start dealing with the specifics of circles/cones and non-rectangle Areas of Effect
I suspect a lot is based upon the legacy (still sometimes true) of everything (important) occurring in Dungeons made up of straight corridors, and 90' angles ...
Random question, if a username contains a non-English character within its first three letters, which means you can't easily @ said user, should something be done, or at least, would it be alright to mention this in a comment to some question or answer they've made?
Meanwhile I have an entire campaign running inside 8 inter-connected hypercubes/tesseracts (no grids used)
@Someone_Evil Though that's fair, I forgot about autocomplete since I usually copy-paste usernames which also doesn't work with some non-English characters while on mobile
Yeah actually I feel this is now such an utterly specific issue: the use of a non-standard character within the first three characters of a username specifically being difficult to @ only when on mobile and it's a question/answer that isn't their own... May not be worth it after all
