I am curious about your reasons for putting Gromph ahead of The Simbul?The Simbul's lack of sanity, and impatience when she is lucid. Recklessness wins her many battles, and the sheer power she can hurl far outstrips Gromph, but her sanity usually makes her Weavemastery fail. If she's calm and lucid, she mops the floor with Gromph.#Realmslore

@TheEdVerse in a previous tweet, you mentioned reincarnation was rare. What about elves? I know they have believed in reincarnation, but I always thought Arvandor was a final reward where elven spirits dwell. MToF paints it as a "waystation" for elven souls.

1)
Reincarnation for elves can happen, but is exceedingly rare. It’s usually seen as a penance for rights that must be wronged (in the new life), or “I can’t be happy in Arvandor until this unfinished business is dealt with,” … 2)
…and said unfinished business often involves avenging family or mate or close friends.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 17, 2020
I’m along the lines of being iffy on racial modifiers for ability scores in #dnd, would you be interested in a little guide on stat modifiers based on class 👀?
It’s a generally small bonuses of +1 to one of the primary stats of the class but for story purposes Example: As a monk did you primarily focus more on your combat ability or your wisdom of mind?
+1 to Dexterity Or +1 to WisdomI've been doing this for a TTRPG of mine with those stats and also gonna start adding to my DnD games too

I myself agree, and while I know it’s part of the dregs of older editions that has endured, I myself would prefer class-based modifiers as well (and hope any future editions lean this way).

Alas, and alack
The monsters are back
And amid all the dying moans
Stand the wizards’ gravestones
No heroes left to stop the beasts this time
So become one right now, or we’ll be dead before bedtime— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 6, 2020
There! The beacons! It’s a dragon raid warning!
Run, or we’ll all be eaten ere morning!
You can’t hide among the dead
Except in the dragon’s gut, the old sage said
And him, we’re already mourning— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 7, 2020
The king taxes my last coins, when I’m in need
And taxes each babe, when I breed
For—as his proclamations have oft decreed—
He’s a staunch and steadfast friend indeed— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 8, 2020
DMs, if your group is arguing about whether a rule should or shouldn't impose advantage/disadvantage, remember this: we designed the game assuming you make on-the-spot decisions about whether advantage/disadvantage applies. For more info, see p. 239 in the DMG. #DnD

how are wizards supposed to cast illusions in 5e without giving it away ?? in older edition we had metamagics as feats and that was the solution. Some illusions are best cast where no one can see you casting. Others don't matter if they can see it or not, it really depends on the specifics of the illusion spell.
