Sina Una is beautiful and mindful and clever, I recommend it. They've got sections about food!

Also, they clearly put a lot of work into the bestiary.
 
Food and monsters — what’s not to like? (How many of those monsters are edible? ...asking for a friend...)

Q: Does Ancestral Guardians make enemies attack my Echo or me?

ScottLet's say I have three levels in Barbarian and three in Fighter. As a Barbarian I take the Path of the Ancestral Guardian subclass, so I have Ancestral Protectors: While you’re raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors, which hinder its att...

Please stop being evilThe most recent Sage Advice erratas find familiar so that familiars are now stripped naked when de-summoned.

@NautArch Hey buddy
 
@ThomasMarkov howdy howdy!
had a rough session last night. One player dead, two have been infected by intellect devourers. I am allowing a greater restoration to kick the devourers out and return them to normal.
but for now, 2/5 players are not who the others think they are.
 
oh my
 
and none of it was necessary. THat one player ran ahead and opened a door.
 
1:33 PM
@BESW You have 32 unusable d6s?! XD
 
1:44 PM
@NautArch Opening a door is the most dangerous act you do in a dungeon. Every subsequent danger hinges on that action
 
@Someone_Evil Okay dad
 
@Rubiksmoose About half of them are hard to read because the number/background colors are too similar, and the other half are covered in sharpie marks from when I tried making my own Fudge dice.
(And a few that are novelty dice like those tiny little dice from travel games.)
 
@Someone_Evil Yeah, everyone groaned when he ran up ahead.
 
What would you (the room) call a completely blank die?
d0?
d"meh"?
 
Opportunity
 
1:55 PM
@nitsua60 Whatever the proper name for the polyhedron is.
Tetra-, dodeca-, icosa-, etc.
 
GcL
@nitsua60 I have a bunch of blank d10s and d20s. We call them blanks. Blank d20. Blank d10.
 
"blank d20" is still less syllables than "icosahedron" haha
 
GcL
That's the shape. It gives little information about the size of it nor finer details. The blanks are built and sized to be used as dice.
 
@Someone_Evil brilliant =)
I have a blank d20 that I intend to laser-cut 10s into every face of. But for now, I just pull it out when I need to stall....
 
@nitsua60 might I suggest 10s and 11s, so that it's at least the same average value?
or, if you want to go one step further.....

10.5
 
2:07 PM
Feat: Unreliable Talent. Select one skill. Whenever you roll an ability check using that skill, instead of rolling a d20, roll a d2. On a 1, the result of the roll is 1. On a 2, the result of the roll is 20.
 
@goodguy5 Nope. It's destined to be my "passive die." For passive skill checks =)
 
2:22 PM
ah, I cee
I still would prefer 10.5, as that would round down to 10 ;)
 
GcL
@nitsua60 They're really hard to etch or burn in. I had to resort to masking and acid etching them.
Let me know how laser etching goes.
 
@BESW wowzers. I thought my best friend’s collection was big... (he’s got the most dice of anyone I know and I have the second most, now I’m realizing my own collection is tiny)
I got 2d16 for my birthday though, which is the weirdest type of die I have now
 
@BardicWizard I mean, I've been playing for about fifteen years, under circumstances where people give me their dice sometimes.
(Not pictured: dice I don't consider easily useable. Pictured: a bag of Fate tokens and a bag of poker chips.)
 
@BESW that’s huge. I’ve barely been alive more than 15 years so I guess that’s why
 
That's fair!
 
2:34 PM
I really like my poker chip usage in 5e.

Every session I give players a blue poker chip that represents an inspiration can only be used for someone else. and then obviously if you bring snacks, you get a gold poker chip which is just a physical token for regular inspiration
 
I got a bag of cheap plastic poker chips, they're great for all KINDS of tracking.
 
@BESW what do you use them for? I usually track stuff on scraps of paper
 
Well, depends on the game. Anything with tokens/pools is great. Ammo, inspiration, fear, insomnia...
You can also use it for nonverbal communication, like put out a red poker chip to say you've got a problem or a blue poker chip to say you're happy with what's happening.
Games like A Penny For My Thoughts, and Dog Eat Dog, have mechanics rooted in passing tokens between people a lot.
I've also used poker chips instead of colored stones in Pilgrims of the Flying Temple, where you reach into a bag of black and white stones, draw three, and choose one color to put back: the number of stones you have left determines your action that turn, and the color of stones you have the most of at the end of the session determines your character advancement.
 
@Someone_Evil I raised a custom flag on this question. It seems OP created a second account and suggested the edit which mentions dnd-5e.
 
2:53 PM
@ThomasMarkov Not that much more I can do than linking them to the merge page
 
Oh, I thought there was something you were able to do. Oh well, I can do that myself next time
 
If there is, no one's told me about it yet
 
@BESW I recently got into railroad board games and apparently one needs poker chips to play them too, because "no one uses the paper money included with the game"
 
@Someone_Evil That question is good to reopen now, right?
 
@GcL I've also got a CNC mill that'll be plan B. Both, however, depend on my making a jig for holding the d20 securely, and my (school's) high-grade 3d printer is waiting on a part.
 
GcL
3:11 PM
@nitsua60 I had poor luck with grinding attachments. I did find that you can put some hot glue on the teeth of vice grips, lock those onto the die, then clamp or vice orthogonally. I used a wood shim to get pad out the difference in width to the vice grips.
Worked a treat for holding the thing fast if you want to use hand tools.
You might be able to do something similar with two small vice grips from either side and then clamp them to the table.
 
3:28 PM
Can we get some reopen votes on this question?
 
@ThomasMarkov I voted to reopen, but realized it's likely a dupe.
 
Of which question?
 
the one you have linked on delay/ready
 
I mean what is the dupe target?
 
39
Q: Can I choose to delay my turn in combat?

AdrianIn D&D 4e there was an option to Delay your initiative: Perform your actions as desired and adjust your initiative to your new position in the order. Does this rule to change initiative order still exist in 5th edition? I cannot find it in the PHB.

and d'oh! sorry about misinterpreting that question :P
 
3:37 PM
haha no worreis
That seems to be a bit different tbh. "Can I choose to delay my turn?" is not the same as "How does the ready action work, are my friends confused?""
 
@ThomasMarkov that's why i asked about questioning how ready action works vs delaying turn.
added a second dupe target to cover the other side.
19
Q: How does the Ready action work?

R. TroutSo from reading the Player's Handbook, it seems that the Ready action is taken instead of any other action as it is an action in its own right. However, can you move on the same turn that you ready an action? For instance, (taking the example from the Player's Handbook): If the cultist steps ...

 
Ive got an answer written that I think better answers this one in particular than either of those questions.
Neither of those questions answers the question "are my friends confused about rules from other editions?"
Which seems like an essential feature of the problem OP is dealing with - older more experienced players who are confused about the rules form 3.5e.
I think OP knows how the ready action works, which is why they asked. What theyve been told by other players is different than the idea they got from the rules.
@NautArch But I dont want to undupe hammer without your input. I'll leave it up to you.
 
@ThomasMarkov let's see what they say first. I think it's unclear what OP was asking and I'm not a really a "let's guess and see if we're right" type of stackizen.
But it seems like the question boils down to a not understanding the ready/delay rules in 5e compared to previous. So those questions do answer that.
 
 
2 hours later…
6:10 PM
@NautArch I'm not sure the closure passes the test outlined in this meta answer, but if OP never comes back to tell us anything else I suppose it's neither here nor there.
 
6:21 PM
Yeah, I dunno. It very much seems to be lack of clarity about delaying turns and the ready action. But if it's something else, that's fine and OP can clarify.
The 'older edition' bit doesn't totally seem to be a difference maker for me.
 
6:34 PM
There's probably room for a question which disentangles how this mechanic has looked in the different editions of D&D. A [history-of-gaming] might be the best frame for that. The fact that it looks to different/uses different terms is might be part of the problem. (if we haven't got such a Q already)
 
@NautArch There were a couple of other poor answers on the druid armor question, I dropped delete votes on them.
 
Yeah, a history of gaming might be in order, but it doesn't seem like that's their question. Their question is really a misunderstanding of how ready and 'delaying' work in 5e.
@ThomasMarkov ha, was just starting to look at those. /facepalm.
I'm actually thinking about voting to close. Every answer is just idea generation.
 
@NautArch It can be fixed by remoivng the part 2 question, I think.
"Did I miss something in the PHB or DMG that makes it make sense for Druids to have proficiency with "Light and Medium armor", not just leather and hide? Is there, for example, dragon-scale armor (which would be perfect but doesn't seem to be in there)?" Is a perfectly valid question.
"If not, and we're down to house rules, has anyone tried bypassing the no-metal restriction by allowing powerful armor to be made from other materials, and what are the pros and cons?" Is probably not.
 
Agreed

Q: Would a race with bludgeoning, piercing or slashing resistance be overpowered?

Quadratic WizardThe various subtypes of dragonborn in D&D 5e have different elemental resistances (acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison). Tieflings similarly have fire resistance, and I would estimate that a variant tiefling with, say, cold or poison resistance instead would be equally balanced. However, suppose ...

 
6:42 PM
Link only answer and it's just a crawford tweet. Voted to delete.
 
I'm surprised that one wasn't auto-LQR'd tbh
 
@Someone_Evil If I come across low quality answers, do I need to both flagging them? Or is delete voting sufficient?
 
Does somebody remember the retrive darts/arrows colour question and would care to link it for me? My brain can't compute a proper search query that leads to it for some reason.
 
@Akixkisu Remembering it...but would rather not. Why you looking? :P
let me see if i can find it

Q: A crossbowman fires three coloured bolts, then spends one minute searching the battlefield, which bolt(s) does he recover?

Amethyst Wizard At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield. PHB.146 A ranger PC with a crossbow has three ordinary bolts. He's very creative and painted the bolts different colours, the primary colours. One bolt is red, one bolt is ...

 
6:52 PM
@NautArch thinking about making a meta about begging the answer questions.
Thanks :)
 
what does 'begging the answer' mean?
 
@NautArch I think that one applies too...and maybe one should be a dupe of the other?

Q: A Monk threw three coloured darts, then spends one minute searching the battlefield, how many darts does the Monk recover?

Amethyst WizardA Monk PC has three ordinary darts. He's very creative and painted the darts different colours, the primary colours. One dart is red, one dart is yellow, one dart is blue. The monk throws the three coloured darts at an opponent. He then spends one minute searching the battlefield, what is the...

 
Ah, not dupes.
That one has a saitsfying answer.
@Akixkisu Is there something unsaitsfying about the upvoted answers there?
 
and darts aren't ammo.
 
6:57 PM
@ThomasMarkov nope, Just looking at things to articulate my thought if I happen to do that meta - triggered by reading rpg.stackexchange.com/q/176195/44723 earlier.
I think that there is a pattern of questions that are beggiong the answer in an obstructive manner and it might be good to make that a community reason to close a question.
 
@Akixkisu OH, I see what youre saying.
 
belligerent questions?
 
Here's a SEDE query that may give you more examples: data.stackexchange.com/rpg/revision/1306775/1606616/…
@NautArch Antagonistic?
A belligerent question would be more like "Hey, you wanna fight?"
@Akixkisu Here is another Q that may be something like what youre looking for.
 
I'd just be careful not to pick examples from the same user.
But also, some people like these rules-centric literal questions.
I don't think i'd want to close because of that...
 
@Akixkisu Just as an aside that might save you some time, I'm not sure we have the technical capability to add such a close reason without removing one of our current custom close reasons.
Certainly don't let that get in the way of your proposal if you feel strongly about it, but just be aware that we may not be able to implement it even if the community really liked it.
 
GcL
7:09 PM
Closed because we think you asked the question like a dick?
 
@NautArch I think that there is a distinct difference in framing the question between an ask for confirmation and framing that begs the answer and asserts it dominantly in a way that wants to change the view of the community to that of the "querent."
 
GcL
OOo.... already had my downvote for self-answering.
 
@Rubiksmoose I think it's possible to get additional slots if we really ask for it (though I think I'd rather use such a slot for designer reasons tbh)
 
GcL
@Akixkisu Closed because the OP wants to change my mind and is a dick?
 
I think one could use one reason as multippurpose that refers to a thread of community reasons.
 
GcL
7:12 PM
Isn't that "community specific reason" ?
 
@GcL I don't think that it is dickish (aside from that permanently penetrative thought pattern).
 
GcL
@Akixkisu Just opposed because there's the assumption the OP wants to change reader's minds?
 
@GcL It doesn't ask a question, it has an answer and wants to assert it.
@GcL yes, but for that matter it would have to be one :)
 
GcL
@Akixkisu I would assume there would be a self answer in the case of an OP wanting to assert their answer is correct. In that case, I downvote self-answers. I don't really like them anyway.
 
Hence why there might be some value to make a meta one may refer to.
But maybe my perception is off, that is why I'm currently looking at various questions that would go under that umbrella.
 
GcL
7:17 PM
I'd be onboard with a community reason "Closed because OP self-answered." I think there's already a close because post is not a question? or am I misremembering the delete answer for not being an answer?
 
I don't think we have a "is not a question" reason. Fortunately, it doesn't come up very often
 
@Someone_Evil Good point. If true we'd need a really compelling reason to get it done I think.
 
@GcL I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with self-answering.
I've got a self-answered question that was relatively well received.
 
GcL
For technical sites, I think it shows the OP could have gotten there with a bit more research or effort. For here, I feel like it's a substitute for writing a blog about a game aspect or mechanic.
 
If you really want to go downvote it I'll leave it to you to find it.
 
GcL
7:24 PM
That sounds like effort. I've already downvoted all the chats here today.
Might have to pop over to imgur or reddit to scoop up another barrel of downvotes.
 
@GcL I haven't looked there. I've bought mine in bulk off of alibaba.
 
GcL
I heard those show up in a shipping container, but you get a great rate on them.

Q: Where do I find the "official" rules for D&D 5e?

nitsua60I play D&D 5e and sometimes come here with questions. But sometimes I see things referenced here as sources that I don't have or aren't aware of.... Which are the "official rules" for D&D 5e, and where do I find them?

Self answered.
 
^Downvote!
 
It has 1 downvote right now.
 
GcL
7:26 PM
Wonder who that was.
 
Was it actually you?
Because you didnt do it just now
 
GcL
Could have been. Who knows?
 
@GcL The shadow knows
 
Pretty impressive tbh if it was you.
 
GcL
Ha! That shadow stepping psionic monk!
 
7:28 PM
I can respect sticking to your principles.
 
GcL
I don't. What if those principals suck?
 
I find consistent individuals far more agreeable to work with than those who are inconsistent.
 
Same, because at least when they're consistent, there's less guess work.

NautArchYes, Components are still required As quoted in the question, the magic items only utilize the slot level, save DC, attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of whomever cast into the item. The magic items still make it: as if you cast the spell. This is not the magic item casting the spell via an...

 
@ThomasMarkov feed me moar downvotes
 
7:44 PM
@NautArch It isnt clear to me why the rule quoted in the other answers does not apply.
 
@ThomasMarkov WHat do you mean? I agreed with Slagmoth's answer in the end.
Can't a guy be wrong?
 
Ah, so youre saying your answer there is wrong?
 
I am. That's why I selected the other answer.
I guess I could delete, but i'm not feeling the peer pressure :P
 
GcL
What if we showed up with a couple of docks and then walked at you from opposite sides? You'd feel the pier pressure then!
 
@GcL Wouldn't putting up a self answered Q&A here be a better way to keep and share that knowledge/expertise than a one-off blog post? Much better quality checks processes for one
 
GcL
7:57 PM
@Someone_Evil It's a bit presumptuous to assume your self answered Q&A is information the community wanted. If someone wanted the question answered, I would assume it would show up as a question.
Blogs are great for putting out "Dear internet, I think you should know my thoughts about this."
 
@GcL I mean, we have many self-answered questions that have gotten lots of community support. Obviously one can be wrong about how useful a self QA is, but at some point community members should be able to be reasonable judges of how useful a thing is to the community.
 
GcL
@Rubiksmoose There are a lot of people that find that stuff useful. Like a useful blog or wiki page. I'm skeptical of how much need there was for it if there weren't questions about it previously.
 
@GcL The best indicator of that would be the views, no?
 
GcL
Unlikely. Google directs me to a lot of useless crap on the stacks. They get a view and very quickly a back navigation as it's not what I was looking for or just not helpful.
 
So how do you tell whether a Q&A is useful?
 
8:03 PM
Upvotes?
 
GcL
If it answers my question.
 
@GcL ...what?
 
Ok, how do you tell whether it will be useful to others (the idea we were talking about)?
 
GcL
To me, a Q&A that doesn't answer my question isn't useful, and I move on to the next search result.
@Someone_Evil You would have to ask a person what they found useful.
 
@NautArch You've got too many points anyways :p
 
8:06 PM
@RevenantBacon got 2 less :P
 
GcL
Oh, if someone says, "I found this useful" I would believe them.
 
I probably should delete that answer, though. I don't agree with it anymore.
But I feel like I should suffer for my sins.
 
@NautArch An incorrect answer is not necessarily a bad answer
 
GcL
Do you not agree with it more than you disagree with deleting answers?
 
@GcL I'm not sure it's equivalent. I mean, it's wrong, but I don't think it's 'bad'.
 
GcL
8:08 PM
@RevenantBacon This is true for me on the technical stacks. Sometimes you see a downvoted to heck answer an think, "I was about to try that myself."
 
@GcL So you, as a stack user, has no ability to judge whether a question and answer on the stack will be useful to future readers? (I'm sorry if that's not the position you're holding, but it's what I'm reading)
 
GcL
What question does that query answer?
 
@RevenantBacon But do I need to suggest a line of thinking I don't believe in anymore?
 
GcL
@Someone_Evil Sure. I could ask people. Also, not the hill I'm defending, so go ahead and burn it down.
 
8:10 PM
@GcL What hill are you defending?
 
GcL
@NautArch Is that a ritual casting of Conjure minor devil's advocate ?
@Someone_Evil If you can't find it, I'm certainly not drawing a map. The undiscovered position is unassailable!
 
@GcL that's actually a really good point. It's an example of how the opposing view is considered.
it's staying up!
 
GcL
@NautArch Pshhhh. You're a good example!
 
Ok, then I'll leave it there with nothing more than the impression you've argued just to be difficult (and I hope that's an incorrect reading). I just hope it won't make me discard your arguments at a time it'll matter.
 
GcL
@Someone_Evil Sorry you get that impression. That is not my motivation.

well, because Chase sucks
dunno about Aykroyd
 
8:28 PM
don't make me kickban you
 
GcL
Aykroyd ... maybe always was a bit of a uh... paranormal enthusiast. Last stuff I heard from him he was spouting a lot of conspiracy theory garbage. Found out Chase was a rather offensive personality to be around.
 
about Chevy Chase?

He basically IS Pierce Hawthorn
 
and here we return to the cliffs of art vs artist
That's a NABbin'
 
Chevy Chase has always been hit or miss for me. Him being a colossal jerk cemented it.

Aykroyd seems harmless enough. He likes aliens, or at least says he does to sell more vodka. meh
 
Aykroyd makes me think of Ghostbusters and now I'm listening to Bustin' again.
And it's gonna be stuck in my head for the next week.

I mean, bustin' makes me feel good.
 
That whole soundtrack is amazing
 
> Liable "Talent". Select one skill. Whenever you roll an ability check using that skill, first flip a coin and call it. If successful, continue rolling the ability check as normal. If unsuccessful, the result is a 1.
 
My history teacher just explained, in answering questions, to one of the other kids in my class, the difference between historical medieval England and fantasy medievalism, and pointed out d&d as an example of fantasy medievalism that isn’t actually based on real life
which is actually kinda nice that he’s pointing out the difference

Or it's filled with sand as the smallest sandbagging operation?
 
8:45 PM
I've always believed that if your question/answer doesn't have at least one downvote, then no one's actually read it.
Thus I use a sock to go downvote my own posts so I can feel like I've got reach =)
 
GcL
Well, at least an arm span of reach. knitsocko60?
 
9:18 PM
@nitsua60 wait, but then if the only downvote you've gotten is your sock...
Also, shouldn't the serial downvoting algorithm catch that?
 
@nitsua60 You could remove the diamond moderator notice at the top of your answer now if you'd like. :)

nitsua60[Author's note: please know that this Q&A was compiled before I was an elected moderator--it was intended simply to be a post I could link frequently when explaining fairly basic 5e questions. It in no way constitutes any sort of site policy on "what counts" for purposes of asking/answering any q...

 
@doppelgreener good call.
@Yuuki Not if I register a different sock each time =)
(Also, Dear Future Reader: I'm totally kidding. I can barely keep one account straight.)
 
@nitsua60 isn’t downvoting a privilege that takes a hundred-something rep?
 
@BardicWizard There are so many holes in my socks it's not even worth counting =)
 
You’d have to — gasp — contribute positively with each sock though so I guess it could improve the stack overall though
 
9:30 PM
Reminds me of that one xkcd comic.
 
@BardicWizard 125 apparently
 
@nitsua60 socks are the weapons of the Holey High Priesthood!!!
@Someone_Evil welp apparently numbers are hard
 
iirc the rules are basically alternate accounts are fine, but you can't use socks to do something you couldn't do with just one account—cast multiple flags, for example
 
Which means you don't get them with the assoc bonus and that surprised me, but maybe MSE is different?
 
9:33 PM
MSE requires 100 to vote down: meta.stackexchange.com/help/privileges
 
That makes sense
 
so it is a little different
 
@doppelgreener mmm, sounds like the Wikipedia policy, WP:SOCK, which is surprisingly useful in a large number of situations, so I guess it probably is similar for a reason. (wow, it’s been way too long since I actually contributed to Wikipedia past a minor correction... I should probably change that)
 
this means technically downvoting your own post is against the rules but ... who's going to stop you, really :P
Mutual upvoting might result in punitive action, but mutual downvoting might trigger a different kind of moderator intervention in the form of "why are you doing this? is everything okay? do you need someone to talk to?"

@BardicWizard If you ask your biggest music-fan friends to make lists of their top 20 guitarists of all time, and then you manage to track down all those people and ask them who their top five guitarists are, and then you track them down (many from beyond the grave) and find out their top guitarist... you might well end up at Eddie Van Halen.
 
I saw him in concert :(
It was a good time
 
@nitsua60 my biggest music fan friend is probably my grandfather, who is very similar to me in music taste, except he likes some music from the late 20th century
he’s probably never heard of this person either
 
EVH has an eponymous band too FWIW
You've almost certainly heard one of their songs at some point

@Rubiksmoose [claps]
 
@Carcer what's happening? is that the official one or the fansite?
 
11:03 PM
@Rubiksmoose That's awesome.
 
hey there @nitsua60
 
@Shalvenay hey-ooh!
 
how're things going?
 
Busier than a three-legged bobcat trying to cover a turd on a frozen pond, one might say.
Though, actually, that was more accurate to say about August/September. October's (so far) back to a little bit of reasonableness.
You? How fares Shalv-land?
 
alright here, helped Korv with a one-off thing
haven't done anything real tabletoppy otherwise, have been doing a trifle bit more coding than the norm though
also: mind if I ping you on Discord with a weird FR-cosmology/maths crossover thing?
 
11:17 PM
@Shalvenay Sure.
(I mean, "sure, ping," not that I mind.)
 
@doppelgreener I got introduced to the "you can't divine smite with an unarmed attack because it says you add to the weapon's damage" argument and it makes me very angry is all
 
11:37 PM
@NautArch that thunderstorm come through your way? We were under a watch for a while, but it passed north of us.
 
@Shalvenay o/
Been a little while since I ran into you in here :D
 
@doppelgreener yeah, I've been doing a lot of lurking here
