2025 version of Deer has an ability called Agile which makes it not provoke opportunity attacks when it moves outside an enemies reach. No disengage required. It is a Medium sized beast though so this idea only works if your PC is Small sized

Seems obvious to me that they DID intend for Drag and Carry rules to apply to the Grappled condition, seeing as how the wording specifically states "The grappler can drag or carry you when it moves...". I highly doubt they chose those two specific words and didn't intend for them to link to the...

Why would that be rare though? Literally every martial PC has more than one weapon in their inventory, why wouldn't NPCs be similar?

Pretty much just this. Forget the character death, you can always roll a new character. Were you having fun up to that point? If so then I'd stick with the group, roll up a new character and continue having fun. If you weren't having a good time previously and this instance is just the...

I'm not implying anything about cheating or being adversarial. I just think it's unrealistic to think that the DM has prepared a list of every single item in the inventory of every single NPC that you come across. This isn't a video game. Improvising details on the fly is standard operating...

It's not like the players can see the enemies' inventory sheets though. The DM decides on the spot whether they have another weapon available. There is zero chance that it stops any Martial enemy that the DM doesn't allow to be stopped.

DROP is great for securing extra loot (and for wasting their turn), but all the high level martial-type big bad has to do is draw another weapon during their next attack

Their moral compass has never changed. It is unwavering, unflinching, always pointed directly towards the $ Also nothing in the snippet linked above is inconsistent with their previous claims of not allowing AI art. For example when he says "We believe the winners in AI will be companies that...

I thought about using that house rule but instead went with the ruling that when the grappler moves, the grappled target gets to decide which square(s) on the map they are dragged into (must be a legal position within 5ft of the grappler). This also fixes the silliness of "I make you fall off a...

It's definitely strong but I'd say that's overall a good thing* that Martial characters have new battlefield control options *As long as you aren't combining it with Spike Growth. Grapple Monks are gamebreakingly OP (like thousands of damage per round) with Haste + Spike Growth. That's when...

I wouldn't call that blasphemy at all. It's a much better design, but 5e was already established with the Action, Bonus Action, Movement, and changing that framework was definitely off the table with the goal of keeping 5.5e "backwards compatible".

Good call on Flurry of Blows. That is more straight up powerful than the Attack Action at levels 1-4 and then again at levels 10-20. In 2014 rules this wasn't an issue since using it required taking the Attack Action first, but in 2024 rules this restriction was removed so it would be...

I kinda think this is what is going on. They're probably realizing they can make more money with far far less effort by letting Third Party Publishers write campaigns, identify which ones are popular, then partner with those publishers to sell the product on DnD Beyond.
