The title explains the post, I'm genuinely curious as a budding DM on how these things can be misinterpreted. In my case I was running a game of Strahd, and a Player casted detect Good and Evil. In the rules, it basically lets you sense the presence of aberrations, celestials, elementals, the fey, fiends, or the undead within 30 feet of you, as well as where they're located.

Upon telling them they sensed something inside of a house and where, they asked whether or not they were "Good or Evil", and if so, how much. I explained it to the player, but they legit got defensive over it. Turns out they've been using it wrong for years. I can only wonder how many plots were spoiled because of that.

Anyway, what's yours? Mine is pretty tame, but I think it's the first case of many. I hope that by seeing misinterpretations I could both learn more about spells/spellcasting in general, and how to deal with these kinds of things moving forwards.

For example in 5e 2014, much of the ranger's utility lies in overland travel, but if the DM does not care much for travel and prefers to hand wave it from place to place, then much of the ranger's power is taken away from them due to the style of the DM.

EDIT: I'll add 2 other answers below to start discussion and for further reference.

Meet Breezy! If you don't know, now you know - her parents are Drizzt Do'Urden and Catti-brie; maybe you've heard of them?

She's also one of 14 potential allies you can draw from the Tarokka Deck in Baldur's Gate: City of Blood - a full-length adventure coming to DMsGuild soon.

If you pull Breezy from the deck, you’re getting an ally who’s skilled at staying two steps ahead of whatever trouble the city throws at you. Quick-witted, quick on her feet, and exactly the kind of companion you want in your corner when things inevitably go off the rails.

The battle was already in chaos when Naya stepped onto the battlefield.

Steel clashed against steel. Spells flashed across the air. Arrows flew between warriors as the enemy pushed forward from every side. The adventurers were fighting desperately to hold their ground, but they were heavily outnumbered.

Then Naya arrived.

The Tiefling Sorcerer stepped forward, her eyes immediately scanning the battlefield. She saw the scattered adventurers trying to defend themselves. She saw the enemies closing in around them. More importantly, she saw them gathered together in one place.

Naya stopped.

She didn't need to ask what was happening.

She didn't need to ask who was winning.

She simply looked at the battlefield and saw an opportunity.

Her hand slowly rose.

A faint glow appeared around her fingers.

The air began to heat.

The flames started as a tiny spark in the palm of her hand, but within seconds they grew brighter and more intense. Fire curled around her fingers, twisting and dancing as magical energy gathered inside her.

Several enemies noticed her.

They turned toward the Tiefling.

Naya remained completely still.

The battlefield seemed to pause for a brief moment.

Then she raised her hand toward the mass of enemies.

Fire exploded from her palm.

The spell spread outward in a violent wave, covering a wide area of the battlefield. Flames rushed across the ground and erupted around the enemies caught inside its range.

One after another, they were swallowed by the blast.

The battlefield disappeared beneath a wall of fire.

The orange light illuminated the surrounding warriors, weapons, armor, and smoke. The roar of the flames drowned out the sounds of combat as the spell continued to burn through the enemy formation.

Naya stood behind the blast, watching the flames spread across the battlefield.

She had only just arrived, but she had already turned her attention toward the largest concentration of enemies.

The fire eventually began to fade.

Smoke filled the battlefield.

The flames disappeared, leaving scorched ground and scattered enemies behind.

For a moment, everything became quiet.

Naya lowered her hand.

The battle had changed.

The enemies that had been surrounding the adventurers were no longer standing together. Their formation had been broken by a single spell.

Naya looked across the battlefield once again.

There were still enemies left.

The fight wasn't over.

But now, the adventurers had an opening.

Naya had stepped into the battle at exactly the right moment, and instead of taking her time to find a target, she immediately unleashed her magic across as many enemies as possible.

The Tiefling Sorcerer stood among the smoke and fading flames, ready for whatever came next.

Today sketch and immediately turn it into entrance for her turns out loving it more. What do you think?

Anwen is a female elf priestess for a sun deity (Lathander). She works as a medicine woman and a healer, tending to the infirm and the elderly. As an adventurer, she often acts as the team mom – she’s very kind and doting. She carries a long staff which has a banner emblazoned with the emblem of her deity. Lathander is a deity of the rising sun, new beginnings, and rebirth; reds, yellows, and whites would be the predominating colors of Anwen's robes.

Another commission piece done some times ago. If you see Daisy character sheet I post before, she’s also one of the party members.

Fullbody commission i have finished sometime during August. i have always had soft spot for tiefling with unique skin tones so i was particularly excited to execute it and depict all the shades of pinks, purples and a bit of reds. This character is so gorgeous.
i had so mcuh fun rendering the mechanical arm and her hair, despite me usually not painting complex metal parts, i am glad i challenged myself with this and got it done. Her eletrical burnmarks are definitely tge part im most proud of!

Hello everyone! Thought I could give some context before:

First of all, I'm a massive fan of RPG and DND, I love watching it, I love playing RPG and DND (or at least, with medieval fantasy aesthetics) games, I love hearing about it, and I SPECIALLY LOVE drawing DnD and RPG characters!

But I don't really PLAY it. I've played AND even DMed a small oneshot in the past. But, due to shyness + it takes too much of my time, and since drawing is my part-time job, I prefer to actually work than give time to play a session, or find a group.

UNTIL, a week ago. I was exploring some product ideas, and I decided to make some DND Character Sheets samples to sell. Alright, no worries! I'll make two sample characters and study how the sheet works, and then I can get to drawing.

I started reading the Player's Handbook to understand specifically how the mechanics worked, bonuses, proeficiency, saving throws and then I got very invested on it.

Some of my friends and content creators I interact with had encouraged me to find a group and give it a chance again, so I thought "Y'know what, I'LL MAKE my first character and PLAY with him and find a group!"

So, what actually started as a product, it became my very personal project and creation, and I'm so happy that I managed to get some time to actually look up into the mechanics and learn more about it, or else I would never have created Vlad Vincent, my dear hexblade warlock, lmao.

I'm not sure if I got the spells right, so please, if there's anything wrong, feel free to correct me, I'm a VERY newbie player and I want to learn more about it!

That's it, thank you for reading until here! :)

Small note: While I was working on him, I managed to find a party to have a session! So, I'm excited and nervous to play him!

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback, everyone! The new numbers for the abilities are: STR 8 | DEX 15 | CON 14 | INT 10 | WIS 12 | CHA 17

I need help from math people.

I was sort of leaning towards using a Maul, but would Savage Attacks make enough of a difference in terms of damage that I should use a Great Axe instead? And does which one is better change at level 15?

And, is there any reason why I couldn't say that my Maul does 1d12 instead?

5e, not 5.5e.
