As stated, *vampiric touch* has a range of “Self”. The main effect of the spell is “The touch of your shadow-wreathed hand can siphon life force from others to heal your wounds.”
As for the melee spell attack against a creature within your reach *vampiric touch* causes you to make, you are in fact... (more) |

Okay, that took longer than I expected. So, I settled on requiring attunement by a sorcerer, and imposing the Lose An Eye effects on a character who didn't worship/serve Olhydra, while allowing the user to gain the Chilling Mist trait and Eye of Frost action. The party learned the benefits and requir... (more) |

This sounds exactly like a character in a party I'm in. Our Gloomstalker Ranger/Rogue tends to head off away from the group to scout ahead and triggers traps or gets ambushed by monsters with tremorsense and blindsight. (more) |

This seems to be a lot of questions in one, most of which can be answered by reading a section of the document you refer to. (more) |

That restriction might be helpful to include in your question. It nixes a few other things I was considering. I don't I have any better ideas than dice/poker chips at this point then. (more) |

I have another incomplete suggestion; consider variant or optional rules that reduce bookkeeping, such as Initiative Variants (DMG 270) to remove the need to record initiative scores, Spell Points (DMG 288) so you only have a single pool to track rather than spell slots, Level Advancement without XP ...

Not a complete answer, but have you considered recording your sessions in lieu of note taking? If it's acceptable to all participants, a shared private live stream or even just a voice recorder phone app could make a record of your session, that the DM and players could listen back to and update note...

Some good ideas here, but I went the other way on the environmental effects. It came just a bit too late though. This was evidently posted during the session, I'll try to update when it's less hectic. (more) |

I don't advocate going overboard with details, but I find most GMs, especially when starting out, tend to under-describe a scene rather than over-describe it. Some exceptions exist, but including enough detail that everyone at the table can imagine basically the same scene is important.
If two pla... (more) |

@#54148 And _burning hands_ has a range of self, and has no spell attack. Would you assume the creatures or objects in the firey cone that extends from the caster aren't targets?
You could potentially make a decent argument that the object **is** a target here. Lack of an attack roll, or explicitl... (more) |

Or not literal enough.
Nothing in the spell description actually explicitly describes the object as a target. You also choose a direction, but it's quite a stretch of the imagination to say the direction is also a "target".
The creature that fails a saving throw is literally referred to as "the... (more) |

@#53503 You said
> [...] Fireball technically only "targets" one person [...]
Fireball technically targets a point of origin for an area of effect, that you choose **and** all creatures (and flammable objects that aren't being worn or carried) in the area, that you don't.
I think you have som... (more) |

Fireball actually targets a point of origin, **and** all the creatures in the AoE.
The point about creatures in the AoE of a line spell, or taking no damage or effect on a successful save is a good point. It seems pretty clear that at least A and B must be targets. The potential to be affected by ... (more) |

@#54107 There is a Banker role in Monopoly, and player choices and social interaction can change the game dynamic drastically when negotiating property trades, yet it's clearly a board game.
Reason and logic, and the choices of individual players is the entirety of a game of chess, but despite pl... (more) |
