    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    My Spelljammer game that ended this month had the party up against three dragons, one fey-touched adult white, one mirage dragon from a DMs Guild adventure, and one adult purple dragon that had a bunch of minions. The last of those was one heck of a fight and nearly cost the party warlock her...

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    Even then a Fighter was almost always going to be better off using their Action Surge for more Attacks.... unless you had a crowd of 1-hit-point-wonders around you.

    D&D General Monster Importance in Homebrews?

    I mean, I just assume that all monsters, even those not yet released, are on the table in some capacity. The monsters are as easy to modify as the setting, after all. If they're absolutely not something that can fit into the ecology of the world as already established, then they can be from...

    To be fair, it was one use per short or long rest, which might end up being more uses than in 2024 based on how many short rests the party takes. The bigger problem with it was that it uses your whole action.

    D&D General Kitchen sink setting or narrow genre focus for long-running campaigns (2,5,10+ years)

    Golarion is a tough nut for me to crack. I've been in a Wrath of the Righteous campaign for a year now and I still don't feel like I have the slightest idea what differentiates Golarion from other settings. Maybe that's just the narrow focus of this campaign.

    I mean.. you're the one who expressed skepticism about their unpopularity. Nobody's saying you and your table are wrong. (Literally playing a gnome in my Eberron game)

    They're among the least used on both D&D Beyond and in Baldur's Gate 3

    To be fair, Goliaths only get a bit of the element. Fire goliaths don't resist fire damage and storm goliaths can't breathe underwater.

    D&D General The NPC writing session

    Did you really just make an absurd thread to mock people with whom you disagree? Because this seems very childish.

    Huh... I might if I can make time for it.

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    I wish I had the creative energy of LaserLlama. ETA: Here's a link to the PDF on their Patreon if you, like me, have trouble getting GM Binder to work for you. Lonk

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    I'm not talking about immediately knowing the resistance and immunities of some obscure monster from Kwalish's Compendium of Creeps... I'm talking about a bog standard troll.

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    ...Are we seriously saying that using fire on a troll is metagame knowledge in 2025? D&D Video Games insulted you for not knowing that in the 1990s!
