    RAW, weapons do have hit points. I believe the table is in the DMG, and it's based on object size and a rough generalization of material strength. I'd personally only inflict damage on them if they're specifically attacked or caught in an AoE while not being worn or carried

As long as your WQ doesn't go down to "Destroyed" you can reupgrade your weapon back, and of course, upgrading your WQ gives you slight bonuses

This is true, but considering how often GM's straight up pull inspiration from other sources for their campaigns, and just file off the serial numbers, and give them a fantasy skin, I don't really have an issue with, for example, an Aeromancer just trying to copy Airbending from Avatar:the Last Airbender. It's fun, it's got them engaged and excited about playing, so I don't mind. I'm certainly not going to give them shit about it, when I'm currently running them through a campaign that is a hybrid of an episode of buffy the vampire slayer, and an obscure PS2 game that most people didn't play, but that I fell in love with 🤣 I just meant that the idea of trying out crazy shit with the average D&D party's grab bag of tricks, is pretty standard for the genre. It's one reason we love it so much. For those times when someone is like "Can I just like use X like this instead? It's really just changing the axis in a 3d space, nothing else."

    For people wondering about rules as written stuff: Feather Fall + Gust Of Wind: This doesn't quite work the way he describes, though I like the idea. He's correct that you can use both spells in one turn, however, Gust Of Wind is a line of strong wind that blasts from the player casting it, not from some other location.. so you can't get pushed by your own gust. As for teamates, you'd think that so long as they jump infront of the first one on the same round then you could time it so they get pushed for at least the 60ft line of Gust Of Wind... and I think you can actually! In Xanathar's Guide To Everything it has an optional rule for falling on p.77 - which basically works by having you fall 500ft instantly, and if you are still in the air during your next turn(s) you decend 500ft again at the end of your turn(s). So, using this, I would say (though this may be a matter of opinion) that you can apply the same to featherfall, changing the 500ft to 60ft. Meaning, if you had two players falling with featherfall in the same round then they would be at the same height each round so that Gust Of Wind could be used. From what I heard in the skit, I don't think the players are in initiative and this makes things way easier then it would otherwise be (mostly cause of Feather Fall only targeting creatures that are already falling, and if they were taking turns they would be jumping at differnt times and have to do something to negate that). Anyway, trying to push a teamate with Gust Of Wind presents its own problem, that being it would require the player trying to be pushed to make a strength saving throw - since it doesn't say in Gust Of Wind that a creature may willingly fail it.. meaning nothing would happen if they succeeded. But if they failed, they could be pushed 15ft... at the start of their next turn. But hey, they would still maybe get pushed along! So, it sort of works, but not on yourself. Telekinesis + wooden board: Yeah, this is pretty sick. The only gripe someone could have could be that the board counts as being "worn or carried" since people are like on it or something... but I think that's a dumb way to look at it. I say, so long as the total mass of the board and the players on it doesn't exceed 1000lbs then its fine by me. Meld Into Stone + freedom of movent: Yeah, I agree with everything here. Passwall: Yep, that's passwall. Sovern Glue + heat metal: There's nothing in Sovern Glue's description that says it sets faster when heated, nor in Heat Metal's that says it makes the glue set faster, so Heat Metal wouldn't make it set instantly. Though, if I was DMing I'd be like.. sure why not, especially since he's taking damage AND using his action for it. Though, he still needs to make the CON save to hold onto the object and a CON save to maintain concentration. Also, as for not needing a roll because it's that cool, yeah I'm pretty sure that's in the rules - don't worry guys.. no need to check, take my word for it >.> I hope he saves the wizard! Overall, Nicely done!

    On the last one, he actually doesn't use Heat Metal to make the Sovereign Glue work faster/more effectively! The idea he goes for is heating the metal enough to sorta weld/fuse it to the tooth. (Which... presents its own RAW conflicts, but still!)

    i think the gust of wind is more a fun example of applying real life physics to a game if you're gently floating down, then a gust of wind shooting out from you would mean that action had an equal and opposite reaction; especially if it collides with the wall of the tower, thus pushing yourself away from it... how that would work with allies would probably require some literal handholding

    I love how every D&D channel I’ve found is also filled with Zelda nerds This is the first time I’m seeing the two intermingle, and I’m not going to lie if I were confident enough, I’d make an Elf that loves the colour green and has a sword. And the sword is good, but there would be things added so the DM doesn’t just say, “Oh god no” Or the DM would say, “Oh hell yeah” but still… Most of it is up to what the DM is okay with. I’m new to this, so I’m partially hoping they’ll be helping me a little on making my first character. The only thing that is 100% set in stone is green tunic wearing fighter. So, in short, Ocarina of Time Link but possibly a bit weaker. For my first game, I’ll probably just ask if there’s any already made characters, because I’m not ready to make my own yet.

    Honestly, as a DM (of a different non-D&D roleplaying game), I'd be excited to help you make Elf Fighter With A Green Tunic And A Sword. I like it when my players get into the "role" part of roleplaying, so I'd love someone who already has a good idea what their character would do. I am not sure whether D&D lets non-magic classes have familiars, but if it did I'd even give you an annoying will-o-wisp companion...

    The restriction is only on bonus action spells. If you cast a bonus action spell you can't cast another spell unless it's a 1 action cantrip. Feather Fall is a reaction to cast and Gust of Wind is an action to cast. There is nothing in the mechanics stopping Feather Fall and Gust of Wind being cast in the same turn. Just as there is nothing stopping you from casting Fireball and then Counterspell in response to another mage's Counterspell. But there is something in the mechanics stopping your from casting say... Shadow Blade and Haste or Shadow Blade and Counterspell.

    So the best part about being a D&D player, and playing both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom: It seriously opens your eyes to the possibilities of spells you usually don’t use. Like, Telekinesis for example. I’ve never seen it be used to transport an entire team before, but it’s absolutely something you can do with it. Gust of Wind and Feather Fall is also an amazing reaction to recreate paragliding.
