The 2024 spell ends immediately if you deal any damage. So, also item damage.

5e RAW, they remain invisible. However, using the tinderbox will make noise so enemies will likely notice that.

In the 2024 rules, dealing damage (even if not by attacking) causes invisibility to end.

NOTE: both versions of the rules (see the oil item description) state that in this scenario, an enemy only takes damage if it enters or ends its turn in the oiled space. Starting their turn in the burning oil does not cause damage, so just moving out of the space will prevent the damage. The lighting of the oil also does not cause immediate damage

So far, I've played three sessions with three different groups. Haven't run into big issues yet. Next session I will be using monsters from the new MM. I'm curious to see how the balancing turns out.

(assuming 5e or newer) You can't true polymorph into Tiamat. The 'aspect of Tiamat' from Fizban's is already CR 30, Tiamat herself is unstatted but obviously more powerful.

As a player character, you can only True Polymorph to a creature of CR 20 or lower

That is what 'automation' often is. You take a working process, then let machines do as many steps in that process as you can. Harvesting crops, sending memos, robots spraypainting car parts, self driving cars (We still have a lot to do there)

Building on that it gets even more interesting as we try to find better, or even completely new processes.

How was this handled in the age of typewriters?

[–] Jeeve65@ttrpg.network 11 points 5 months ago (3 children)

How on earth did English typography get so weird with mdash, ndash, dash, hyphen, etcetera while most of the readers have no clue about the the differences. IMHO, just use dash.

Can you explain me how the different lengths of dash add to the understanding of the text, when I usually don't even see the difference on my mobile phone screen?

Just updated apps on my phone. Appears to be doing three updates at once. Still, a huge improvement.

I can only say that in my experience, it works ok.

Same in Dutch: aardappel (aard=earth, appel=apple)

The current app is pretty useful. I can

  • access all the content that I have bought on dndbeyond
  • view the player characters that are playing in my campaigns
  • play my own character(s) as a player, including dice rolls if I want. For major changes to my character it redirects to the website, but it handles all common in-play updates directly in the app (hit points, conditions, inspiration, equipment, preparing spells etc)

Be aware that you can purchase new content in the app or on the website, and the prices may differ between the two. In my case, the app uses Euro prices including VAT, while the website uses USD prices where the Sales Tax/VAT will be added on checkout. Most promotions will only work on the website.

 

Players who only have access to the 2014 Player’s Handbook will maintain their character options, spells, and magical items in their character sheets. Players with access to the 2024 and 2014 digital Player’s Handbooks can select from both sources when creating new characters.
