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
“Are you the only one in your group who GMs?”
I am in 3 groups, in 2 of them I am GM. From these 2, in one I’m the only GM; in the other there are 3 GM’s.
A bit hard to answer questions like this on a 5 point scale.
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Using year labeling of your product is generally a bad idea, imho, because it makes it appear outdated really quick.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 reported it within a minute after it was posted.


Of course it was.


I played in a university gaming club from 1984-1989. Then nothing, but it kept popping up in my life. I just had nobody to play with anymore. Then 2016 arrived, and I did some internet searching. I found (after some false starts) a group, that I still play with every Thursday night.
Yes, for me it also feels like home.
I hope your—and mine—d&d journey keeps on giving!

Stop doing whatever you do, adore me!


You don’t scare me.
AOL never was available in my country.
Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.
I will never get to 20, yay!

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.
Some great mind took hours to break this password. Hours!
Spoiler: the pony survived!
