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

    I always liked the idea of Stamina/health being used for sorcerers, especially if they wanted to boost spells... I like the idea of a 'CON' based spell caster, trading sorceror points for Stamina or Health for spells.

    D&D General The Double-Edged Sword: Is The New D&D Edition a Cash Grab in Disguise?

    I bought stock in Hasbro nearly a year ago because I knew the D&D Next would come out... HAS pays a decent dividend too... the fact they bought a movie studio means they'll expand their offerings. I didn't hate the recent D&D movie (good popcorn movie). For me D&D is like pizza, plenty of...

    D&D (2024) Grand Unified Spell Progression

    I have always seen druids as clerics of a nature deity. But then, clerics are pact magic too... you agree to serve a higher power, hopefully for a better end. Warlock agrees (forcefully sometimes) to serve a higher power and your end is not always good.

    D&D 5E Does/Should D&D Have the Player's Game Experience as a goal?

    The question OP raises in the title is a given. Yes BUT... player enjoyment as a goal is only achievable with communication of expectations between the player(s) and the GM. World building, story telling, and character actions are all governed by the input from all parties involved. If you're...

    D&D 5E Alternative magic systems for 5e? [+]

    The questions that I would ask back to you is what are you looking for in a 'magic system'? What do you want magic to be? Do you even want magic? I'm sure there's a fear of "no one will play D&D 5e with me if they can't be a half-giant min/max sorceror build" I imagine you want magic of some...
