Spiked Chains I don’t have any stats for them, any ideas?
I’m trying to convince my DM to let me play a Shadar-kai whose main weapons are spiked chains but i don’t have any stats for them and he won’t let me use some alternate rules for them. Any ideas? Martial weapon, 2-handed, finesse, 10 ft. reach, d8 slashing damage

Manshoon has Silver fire, was he given this before the Spellplague?
Mystra prepared for the Spellplague as her predecessor did for the time of Troubles: by trying to keep the Weave as stable and present as possible (and her survival/comeback as likely as possible, for she IS the Weave) by vesting more of her divine power in a wider array of…

…mortals than usual. So she had her Chosen, and many others (yes, including Volo; that's one of the reasons he's survived some of his scrapes!) who were "unofficial, almost" Chosen. Manshoon briefly held as much Weave-power as a Chosen, and in the SofS trilogy, Mystra offers…

…him the status of a Chosen–and he refuses it. so that's how he has the silver fire, which is (like spellfire) energy drawn directly from the Weave without incantation ("spellcasting"). Spellfire = raw energy, silver fire = far more precise/controlled energy(firehose vs laser)

Bingo. Mystra prefers to "play" the system rather than brawling toe-to-toe with other deities. As she knows any fight does too much damage to the world to be worth it, even for the victor.

Heh. Template stats are up to the great designers at Wizards. I'm always inclined to make them too powerful. One note, if doing your own: post-Sundering, the gods are all more "remote," and their Chosen and other servitors less powerful, than before.

Sure, and therefore, more playable by the gamers. I like the idea all the decisions and the action go to the “regular” folk, this gives a sense of responsibility, and the player can feel the setting evolving with their help. YES. That's always been my punning clan.

Are features like Relentless Rage and Shadow Sorcerer Strength of the Grave intended to stack?
@JeremyECrawford are features like barbarian relentless rage and shadow sorcerer strength of the grave intended to stack (if you fail one saving throw, try the other) or is it a choose one in an instant scenario?

Things in the game don't shut each other off unless a rule explicitly says otherwise. #DnD https://t.co/okV81PK5qn

If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide a part of yourself to feel accepted, then you might know how good it feels to just freely be yourself when you’re finally able to. The #DnD / #ttRPG community has made that easier for me, and I am forever grateful. 🖤 Thank you for sharing the light of your authentic self with us!

“Just one dragon, and asleep, but…”
1)
The thief was pale, and panting hard, when he crawled back into their midst, in the tiny dark cavern that resounded to the thunderous snores of the sleeping dragon.
“Well?” the wizard asked.
“Just one dragon, and asleep, but…#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 2, 2018
2)
…of a sort I’ve never seen before. I know not its powers.”
“It breathes death,” the barbarian rumbled. “They all do.”
“Yes, dolt,” the cleric sneered, “but if we know what SORT of death, we know what to do.”
The barbarian…#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 2, 2018
3)
…sighed. “We toss you onto its nose, it awakens and roars fire or whatever, and then we know. Your holy spells protect you, yes?”
The cleric blanched. “Well, ah, yes, but mayhap not swiftly enough. Perhaps if we tossed you…”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 2, 2018
4)
“Long before you spend years, all of you, eating and training and developing thews enough to toss me,” the barbarian rumbled, “yon wyrm will awaken, and breathe anyway. Find another plan.”
It was the wizard’s turn to sigh.#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 2, 2018
5)
And unwrap something from his pack from which a hose protruded.
“Start blowing,” he told the barbarian.
“I’ve not even been introduced to this beast,” said the barbarian. “Isn’t this a little, ah, forward?”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 2, 2018
6)
“It’s NOT a creature,” the wizard snapped. “It’s a blow-up dragon suit. Your size, too.”
“I hope yon suit comes in Chartreuse,” the thief muttered. “Because that’s the sort of dragon that’s snoring yonder.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 2, 2018
7)
“And I hope,” the barbarian growled, eyeing the limp heap of dragonskin, “it isn’t Chartreuse Dragon mating season.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 2, 2018
