    D&D General 5e but fewer rules and lower HP totals?

    I think those two things would be enough, so long as the right rules “bloat” (subjective, I know) was cut, of course. “Right” according to my own tastes, naturally. But either way, as far as I’m concerned, 5e HP totals go way too high, and pretty fast at that, in some cases. Like, if they were -...

    D&D 5E How would YOU nerf the wizard? +

    My preferred approach starts with fixing Fighters and other “martial” classes (i.e., by making them more capable, in specific ways). But yes, in addition to that, I would also like to see: no cantrips, or at least not infinite cantrips; lower HP; broadly interruptible casting; having to learn...

    You've Created A Bad Character. How, why and whose fault is it?

    The GM’s. Oh, as for how and why, that varies by player, group, system, campaign. But probably GM as well.

    D&D General From Another Edition

    Yes, particularly monsters, but also spells, magic items, and even a few mechanics at times.

    D&D General Which Gods/Pantheons do you use in your D&D setting?

    Either the deities that come with a published setting, or my own, for homebrew settings. Currently running some Realms (in the pre-4e mode), so Realms deities it is.

    D&D 5E As DM, Do you have monsters always fight?

    Can be down to innate tendencies, circumstances, past or present interactions, or indeed, some kind of reaction roll, basically. And yes, morale can play a part once battle is underway, but won’t always. Overall, “it depends” would be the case, but that wasn’t an option, so I simply didn’t vote.

    D&D 5E As a DM, how do you handle monster hit points?

    Almost always average.

    D&D (2024) How excited are you for the new 2024 edition d&d?

    1/5, if that. I lost faith in WotC some time ago.

    D&D General What Classes Would You Add to D&D?

    The 14 in the OP plus a good gish.

    D&D 5E Player Hit Points

    Half plus roll the other half (e.g., d4+4 instead of d8) is my personal favourite.

    D&D 5E Brainstorm Sorcerer upgrades. (+)

    More emphasis on bloodlines, right from 1st level onwards. Points. See #1. No. No. Cha. Yes, and definitely should be. Considerably more so. No, not “need”. But ideally, that would be the case.

    D&D General If you were made president of D&D, what would you do?

    What would I do? Make 6e, 7e, or whatever we’d be up to at this stage, the overall most amazing edition of D&D. Open everything up, license-wise. Release PDFs of every book from every edition, including the current one. But then, I’m not beholden to that whole corporate life thing, nor would I...

    Trailer Fallout - Official Trailer

    Well, that was a heck of a lot darker than the Fallout games I’ve played (which is most of them). Liked it all the more for that.

    D&D 5E With Only 4 Ability Scores, How Would You Handle Spellcasting Abilities (+)

    Might Agility Will Awareness Split the spellcasters between will and awareness types. And this would depend on just how many caster types you’re going to include.

    D&D 5E Really different magic & psionics systems for 5e?

    Most of what I’ve seen has been people reusing the existing unified magic system, and even all or most of the standard spells, regardless of what they’re trying to represent. Is there anything really different out there, for 5e in particular? Thanks
