However, 5e might have different ideas (pfft OD&D is the only one that matters) and in real life cleric is a word literally defined as "a member of the clergy" of an organised religion. Anyone who works for such religion in an ordained role is a cleric, regardless of what that role ...
This is ill advised. All attacks, spells or other effects directed at Halaster here in his nine-pin alley fall away from the wizard harmlessly. Halaster will warn the characters ONCE, asking them to please stop and be civilized. If any of them continue to enact hostil...
Medicine 5eis a skill you won’t be using as often as you think. It lets you stabilise a dying companion, and in some cases you may be able to figure out what’s making someone ill. You won’t actually be able to heal any hit points, though – you’ll need rest,5e spells, or ...

Is the distinction, then, simply one of origin? A fire beetle is a beast because it evolved naturally, while a Roc is a monstrosity because it was created directly by a Giant? This argument does not hold if you look at the roper, whose flavour text states The roper is an evolv...
The D&D 5e and Pathfinder 1e rules make miniatures optional, and I've played many campaigns this way. The primary reason you might have to do this is if not all players own a PC or something that can run the minis system. However, if your tool works for ...
