Can warforged become vampires? Send Tweet. #DnD

Under 3.5 rules, warforged couldn't become vampires. Under 5E rules, they are humanoids and thus technically could. Personally I would say that they CANNOT become standard vampires, for reasons too long to go into in a tweet; I'd create a unique warforged expression of vampirism.

It's a-okay to dislike, or even be mildly irritated with, some element of a game. That happens to all of us, and it always will. Your feelings are valid.
If I'm talking about something I enjoy, maybe that's not the time to jump in with how much you don't like it.

Same goes for whatever your spouse is currently enjoying. DON’T RUIN IT. This has been an ongoing struggle for me 🙂 Take the specific qualifiers out. Don't go shitting on things people are actively enjoying. General rule for non-dickish life.

Nope.
Before I scour my books, are there any official rules for jousting in 5e? #dnd A DM of mine worked up some easy jousting rules in a campaign a few years ago that were fun.
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) May 11, 2020
How did they do it? Neither whittling down your opponents hit points with a melee attack using a lance or making shove attacks to knock them prone seem satisfying. Each round jousters make attack rolls.
– Hit = break lance on body/shield, 1 point.
– You can take disadvantage before you roll to attack the head, hit = break lance on helmet, 2 points.
– Critical hit = unhorsed opponent, 3 points and win opponent's horse.3 points wins.

There might have been a Strength saving throw allowed on a critical hit, but I don’t recall since it didn’t come up in our joust. Interesting. Thanks!

I would think it would need to be a combo mini game: successful animal handling check, then normal attack roll, if it hits, mounted attack damage. If the animal handling check fails, attack at disadvantage. Then roll athletics if you’re hit to see if you fall off. About the farthest I'd go to complicate it further would be to use Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks in place of initiative if I wanted riding skill to matter, AND wanted to keep it to separate turns to avoid the chance of ties.

@TheEdVerse Would you classify the gods of Forgotten Realms as just people with greater power than most?
— Lysbeth Raven (@LysbethRaven) May 13, 2020
Most of them are, yes; they have foibles, make mistakes, overlook things, have lapses in logic, and are fallible. So they have far greater power than mortals, but can be as flawed. Others have more mysterious origins and natures (e.g. Entropy).#Realmslore
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 13, 2020
Sorry for bothering, but if they are merely “powerful people”，why should mortals worship them？ I don’t think people will worship a, let’s say, archwizard, but why would they worship the gods? What’s the key difference between an “almost almighty mortal” and a deity? Mortals worship gods because the gods can send aid/answer prayers/provide beneficial magic (spells to clerics). And "favor" rather than acting against them. Most FR gods, like old-time Greek and Roman deities, are "super" but essentially human (not perfect, but understandable.)

“You cannot hide from danger. Death floats on the air, creeps through the window, comes with the handshake of a stranger. If we stop living because we fear death, then we have already died.”
From sickly young mage to supreme Evil Wizard of High Sorcery, Raistlin Majere is one of the most memorable characters in all of fantasy literature. Introduced in 1984 as the protagonist and eventual antagonist of the first six New York Times bestselling Dragonlance novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Raistlin’s mystery and cunning have captivated the imagination of readers around the globe ever since.
This striking image of Raistlin by renowned artist Kekai Kotaki shows him channeling the timeless power of Fistandantilus through the Staff of Magius as he prepares to wield the ancient and mysterious magic of the Green Dragon Orb of King Lorac in one last stand against the Dragon Goddess Takhisis.
We included Raistlin’s most haunting quote from the novels on the front and Jim Rosloff’s iconic Dragonlance logo painted by the legendary Larry Elmore emblazoned across the back of the shoulders above the rose-shaped Majere constellation as it appears in the night sky above the continent of Krynn (the stars glow in the dark!)

LORD LOREN SOTH
–
LIVE ONE LIFE FOR EVERY LIFE LOST
Truly one of the most mysterious and tragic characters in all of fantasy literature… LORD SOTH, the “Knight of the Black Rose,” has haunted readers ever since his debut in The Dragonlance Chronicles book two: The Dragons of Winter Night and similarly, our shirt design has been a favorite of our fans since it’s debut two years ago at Gen Con 2018.
So, we decided we’d release a brand new colorway featuring a Glow-in-the-Dark white version of @bargainbinblasphemy’s baroque and highly detailed collage depicting all of the horrific details of Soth’s cursed life and descent into undead madness capped off with his charred black rose on the back.
Kneel before the Lord of the Undead with this new version of one our all time fan favorite designs! In case you missed it over the weekend, Joe Manganiello and Death Save have a new shirt for sale! The back features my favorite Dragonlance logo. Larry Elmore hand-painted this logo and I've always loved it. pic.twitter.com/dHzlUq9NP0— Margaret Weis (@WeisMargaret) July 27, 2020

@TheEdVerse Hi there! So I am slowly coming to grips with how taxes and fees work in Waterdeep. However, my question is: What services are provided in return? Obviously roads and the Watch, but what about schools, free medical help, homeless shelters, men’s/women’s refuges, children's dentists, free legal aid, etc. Are any of these or similar things provided by the state? (2/2)

Matters have varied over time in Waterdeep, but in general: temples provide medical aid (including dentistry), food and shelter for the homeless, and refuges from domestic violence.

Is there a sword tax when passing through the gates, or did I imagine that?
— Bill Berg (@webjr1981) May 2, 2020
1)
There’s a gate-passage tax for all wagons, and there are special taxes on the bulk shipping of bladed weapons, helms, and breastplates (to keep track of who’s amassing armaments), but not a tax on the arms and armor worn, carried, or in the personal baggage of.. 2)

SPELLJAMMER: An asteroid eats you
— blockchain guevara (@Ettin64) April 13, 2020
Ah, Spelljammer. I love it three thousand, but it certainly has more than its fair share of really ridiculous monsters. :p That was the whole point.
'Twas actually a design directive. No kidding.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 13, 2020
Was it a “Sharknado” brainstorm or are we talking full-crazy as “Velocipastor”?
Because Spelljammer was “far-out physics” (spelljamming ships generating their own gravity field, so a sentry on deck could toss a lit cigarette to port, greet his CO, then after the officer had passed below, reach out to starboard and catch the orbiting smoke), we were told: … …go wild with monsters; the sky's the limit; if you get TOO crazy, at-the-table-game-mechanics-wise, the ditors will rewrite, you can be sure, so don't let that stop you from going full-on crazy in design. Just: no metagaming in-jokes. Don't ridicule SJ itself.
