Doesn't the PHB (maybe DMG) explicitly state multiple times that you can bend and change pretty much any mechanic you wish in order to suit the needs/wants of your group/world/adventure, thus rendering the argument of what's "truly playing" DnD both stupid and dumb?

Mendrian posted:Well yeah sure. I mean, "ask your DM" is pretty much D&D's cloak of invulnerability against any and all rules arguments. You're not wrong. And I don't think there's anything wrong with a new DM sticking closely source material, but I also think once you've got some game time under your belt you'll have a decent idea of how the game might break. If someone is experienced enough to be agonizing over one or two mechanics, just change the drat things and be done with it. In my personal experience you can tinker a lot and really not drastically effect the overall flow of the game.

Does danger sense literally allow a barbarian to sense danger or is it purely something that affects saving throws? Because I DM'd my first session recently and there's 2 barbarians in the party who are basically using it as a spidey sense at all times. It's making it a little annoying to set up encounters because they both just ask "do I sense danger" literally every time they walk into a new area.

Toshimo posted:It's just for saving throws. Admiral Joeslop posted:By the rules, it only applies to things that cause a Dexterity Saving Throw, and only if the character can see (or is aware of? I forget the exact rule) the cause of the saving throw. Well then I won't feel bad when I clamp down on this for our next session. It really killed any tension or mystery I was trying to create. Both of them have been playing D&D a lot longer than I have so I just kinda took their word for it.

In regards to Eldritch Blast, do people consider that Repelling Blast can only be applied once per turn like with Grasp of Hadar/Lance of Lethargy? Per the books, the former doesn't make that distinction while the latter two do. To me logic would dictate that RB was probably "meant" to only apply once, given that the other two are very similar effects. Basically what I'm looking for is someone to justify my greedy desire to be able to move poo poo all around the battlefield.

Bhodi posted:I mean, it's an effect of the beam so if you're level 5 and you hit two different targets why wouldn't they both be pushed backwards? I should have been more clear, I meant when hitting a single target with all beams.

I've only ever played 5e. I like it and have a Good TimeTM playing it with my friends.
