So if a Tabaxi (who gets their natural claw attack, 1d6+STR Bonus) - if they choose Path of the Beast (Barbarian) - they also get a Claw attack (1d6+STR).
So there'd be no real reason, other than being able to get a second claw attack if they use the Beast Claw (rather than their natural claw).
Would you as a DM up the damage of their Beast claw attack? To 1d8+STR or just leave it because they functionally get two attacks?
Claws. Each of your hands transforms into a claw, which you can use as a weapon if it’s empty. It deals 1d6 slashing damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you attack with a claw using the Attack action, you can make one additional claw attack as part of the same action.
It's only been available to certain youtubers and Gencon attendees, right?
as far as I know I believe so, yes. But these forums see a shedload of traffic from folks likely inclined to attend gencon if able, and this is a fairly well traveled thread, so I figured it might be worth asking. Especially as the thread had gone a bit quiet for a few days and I figured it could use a shot in the arm.
QotD: If you were in control of the Olympics, what sport would you add?
I hashed this out with my family a few days ago. I'd have four teams of four in a gladiatorial arena in a sort of free-form fencing-judo-HEMA sort of situation where you choose your own weapon. Presumably the armor and the weapons could be made safe for the combatants so there'd be no actual injury.
Then, paintball or laser tag, or something similar with Nerf guns.

Laser tag would be interesting. I'd honestly like to see olympic fencing because of my lightsaber obsession

Hi! I'm EJO. I am a silly billy who forgets to play Genshin Impact every day and totally DOESN'T simp for at least three different ninja girls. Some other facts about me:
Milio has been ditched. Now Xerath is my friend.
My average accuracy in Marvel Rivals is about 15%.

Olympic lightsabering would be great. But you're immediately disqualified if you don't make the noises. Thems the rules.
yeah. using those heavy dueling lightsabers that you can buy that cost like ÂŁ400 and wearing jedi and sith robes. It'd be AWESOME

Ghosts' in 5e have: Incorporeal Movement: The ghost can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
Now the question is - it talks about if it ends its turn inside of an object it takes 1d10 damage.
It's unclear, to me, with how this is written:
Incorporeal Movement: The ghost can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
Does the ghost take 1d10 damage or does the object (or person) they stop inside of take 1d10 damage?
I am pretty sure it's the ghost - but that really should be made more clear such as "The ghost takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object."
It's got to be the ghost taking damage. Parsing the sentences a bit, the "It" at the beginning of the sentence doesn't make sense in referring to the same "object" given at the end of the sentence. I'm not sure if a sentence can have the same thing be in both subject and predicate. Also, most objects don't have turns to end.
If the "It" in the second sentence meant "the object", it would be very awkward. You'd be able to read it in that case as:
"The object takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object."
Nope =(

I wouldn't change anything. The second attack justifies the ability. Then again, d6 to d8 is not a huge power boost.
And yes we are awesome.

I would increase the die to 1d8 because I think it would be more fun.
Those are the magic words!
I would leave the damage the same.

I would leave it the same too. If anything, I might allow for two-weapon fighting with them though.

I'd also watch something like ulama or its ancestor.

Juggling. Laugh all you want but I really, really want to see juggling in the Olympics.
Olympic fencing already exists - they just don’t televise it sadly. Light saber might be an interesting addition to that.
Wisea$$ DM and Player since 1979.
Really they should just add all forms of clowning. I want a competition among mimes to see who can lift the heaviest invisible object.
Miming is an underrated skill. A Circus Olympics would be so awesome.
Really? That’s not what I heard.

Because it can certainly be read the other way.
