      @@emilyz4104 there's so much good info in the 2014 dmg that's just hidden from people who don't read the book cover to cover. So many good mechanics and rules that get glossed over and forgotten. Alphabetized it means that you will probably read the section, even by accident. It's much easier to remember that way.

      @@elana1463 The first book is organized, its just youtube and reddit keep telling people it isnt. but things are in logical sections.
      The "Planar Effects" are in the Chapter that talks all about "The Planes". which is the Logical section for them to be in.
      The Enviroment Hazzards, Weather Effects and Traps are all in the Chapter about "EXPLORATION" the exact spot you would actually run into those things. and its even categorized further where the hazards and weather are in the over land travel area and the Traps are in the Dungeon part of exploration. These all make sense to be in that area.
      The Rules for Cool Manuvers and other Combat tricks are in the Section of the book about Running Combat ... you know the place you would use those rules.
      The DMG 2014 also has a "DM's Workshop" Chapter for all the Misc rules.

    If action determines alignment, a better word for it is "worldview" or "impulse" or "strongest beliefs". The word Alignment is an artifact of "original" D&D (sourced from books like those of Michael Moorcock) where Law, Chaos, and Neutrality were factions and you chose whether to *align* yourself with that faction. Gygax muddied the water in AD&D (1e) when he introduced the notion of moralities that grow out of 9 different "alignments" -- this led to a lot of us playing in an "alignment determines action" style. Really glad to see this subtle but interesting change.

      @emilyz4104 3 месяца назад

      I think it's more likely than not, though Oathbreaker might be renamed since they no longer have the thing where "if you swore an evil oath, like Conquest, and then you become too nice, your only recourse is to switch to the Oathbreaker subclass that represents pure evil."

    I find it confusing that all of the PHB new content is on the Dnd Beyond channel, while the DMG content has been on the Dungeons & Dragons channel. Why are there two channels? I just figured it out and have had a heck of a time finding the DM content as a result.

      @susancarr6350 3 месяца назад

      ​@andreacolombo7896 I see those scrolling down. But they are all over the ddb channel, including shorter vids focusing on, for example, a particular subclass. I get why they want this channel. I just don't understand the rhyme or reason of where to look for what content. I've now subbed to both channels, so hopefully it's less of an issue. But now there are 2 places to look if I want to rewatch a video because the content overlaps but isn't identical. I've figured that out now. I guess I wonder if there are others missing content because they don't know there are two channels. That said, I'm glad the content is available and am enjoying the Reveal videos!

They made no mention of the whole "bursting into flames" problem.

    This doesn't sound like anything changed with the old DMG, nor that it's better organized.
    Alphabetize is a terrible way to organize without categories. Having traps, player boons, npcs, and all that in one unorginized alphabetized list is poorly organized. Imagine if the spell warding bond was between wizard and warlock. Or if something goes by two different names. The book should be organized by when a DM needs what information. Not just arbitrarily. Traps should be next to dungeons and doors not travel.

      True, but maybe this is what they do to appear more human and therefore believable in the faces of their corrupted lordships. Or maybe this is not your typical Illithid, or this is how one of their abilites work or maybe he tries to conceil not words but said ability? Thing is you could be 100 % right and chances are high that you are, that this was an oversight but just maybe it wasn't. :) Perhaps we could get clarification on that in some future post?
