The original dndbeyond form fillable 5e character sheet had 3 extra, blank skill entries.

I don’t think I have ever used them

In my group there are at least these patterns:

• are you a moon druid?
• are you attacking everything, always, under the guise of protecting the party?

I have used both types of distance calculation in different campaigns. I agree that the ‘alternating’ rule is better, but I’ve also seen that it confuses some players and in that case slows down combat.

I’m currently using the phb rule. My players have just gained access to fireball and similar AoE spells, and I use the actual circular spell effects

So far I have not seen the players actively abusing this, so for now I’m just ignoring the weird distance effects

Mathematically, a circle is defined by all points that have the same distance to the center point. In d&d on a grid, distances are measured in 5ft squares, where a diagonal distance is the same as an orthogonal distance. This results in mathematical circles being square on a 5e/5.5e d&d grid

so, one fireball, having a mathematical 20 ft radius, can completely fill a square room of 40x40 ft.

Yes I know the book has a circular template for spell effects. However, using that on a grid has the weird effect that a target can be in a place that is 20 ft removed from the center (diagonally) but at the same time not be in the area of effect of a fireball cast on that center point

That is true, for the 2014 (5e) version

The 2024 / 5.5e version rules no longer have the “two-weapon fighting” subsection - the rule is now merged into the description of the ‘light’ weapon property

Not completely right

(5.5e) Two-weapon fighting is a Fighting Style that only some classes can get.

Dual Wielder is a general Feat that any character of level 4 with str or dex 13 or higher can take.

Anyone can dual wield when their main weapon has the Light property.

I’m not sure if Roman Numerals are the best choice for statistics

You roll it, it drops off the table and stops 15 yards meters away–if you’re lucky. Or the cat thinks you finally have time for them and playfully pushes the ball die under the couch.

I think my d30 is good enough.

Some great mind took hours to break this password. Hours!

Spoiler: the pony survived!

If you look up the definition for an Object, it specifies that it is “a nonliving, distinct thing” — such as a corpse.

However, the definition of Creature does not say it must be living. So, a corpse is both a creature and an object.

There are even creatures that have never been living — such as constructs — and thus are also objects.
