    D&D 5E How "optional" are rules like feats and multiclassing?

    I feel 5e is very limited on player choices as is, in the game I am running now I am sifting through 3rd party stuff to give to my players because I think options and fun are directly proportional, as long as you can maintain balance. I played one game with a DM that disallowed all Optional...

    Free DM's Guild Five-Star Freebies

    This thread was a great idea. I like to look at anything I get there before I pay for it, and this thread helped we narrow the field. Two I found that I enjoyed and don't think were mentioned here. Feats Vol 1 There are a lot of "half feats" here. I think there should be many more of those...

    D&D 5E State of D&D

    Mechanically I really enjoyed Pathfinder a lot. I just refuse to support them because I find some of their workers to be detestable. I don't think anyone would argue that there are a lot of things Pathfinder must have done right, one of which in my opinion, is to provide lots of options. I...

    D&D 5E State of D&D

    I skipped 4e, with the exception of 2 or 3 games. I don't recall anything about reskinning being cool for 3, but that is not to say it isn't somewhere in the books, it just wasn't used in any of the groups I ever played with. I was including DMs in the group of some people that like official...

    D&D 5E State of D&D

    Outside of standardized play, every game I have played in any edition throughout my life (started about 20 something years ago) has used DM fluff instead of official fluff for pretty much everything except gods. I realize a lot of people like the extra fluff, but unless it is tied to a god, I...

    D&D 5E State of D&D

    I really wish they had some more Crunch Guys on board. Sean Reynolds and Mike Brock are two I can think of from my pathfinder days that I think could help the company a lot. It would be great to have more official crunch and to have people that would accurately explain and defend that crunch...

    D&D 5E [Forgotten Realms] The Wall of the Faithless

    Suggested symbol: path away from wall. Atheos wouldn't presume his non-followers automatically want his "help." :)

    D&D 5E [Forgotten Realms] The Wall of the Faithless

    I think the idea here is that there is not an afterlife that can match OP's (or his characters') version of heaven. It sounds like he would like a altruistic god that is willing to take souls that never wants or wanted to do anything for it. If I were a DM trying to "fix" this issue, I might...

    D&D 5E [Forgotten Realms] The Wall of the Faithless

    I am sorry if this was hit on earlier, as this is a very long thread I didn't read a lot of the middle, but I don't understand the problem. If it is torturous to become part of the wall I think that.....annoying at best. But once you become the wall you essentially cease to exist as a...

    D&D 5E is stealth an action?

    According to Twitter, it consumes your action. According to the book, as far as I am concerned it doesn't.

    D&D 5E is stealth an action?

    Man I am with you entirely. I think it completely reasonable and I think the book backs you on it. However, I had a couple people arguing with me that even if you are completely invisible, everyone knows exactly where you are because you are constantly making so much noise that everyone can...

    D&D 5E is stealth an action?

    I have went fairly in depth on this in another forum with some people. According to the book, the only thing the Hide Action does for you is qualify you for the Unseen Attacker/Target rules; you use the rules in the box back by stealth to see if you succeed. However, there is a Twitter post...

    D&D 5E Does this seem to be the edition that was made for splatbooks?

    I find it interesting some people want to make up their own crunch and have WotC provide the story. I would choose it the exact opposite way. A DM can weave a story that makes me have a real dynamic role that a book can't predict. Edge goes to DM. Homebrewing crunch seems like letting...

    D&D 5E Any word on (Full) 5e PDFs?

    You are correct. By "we" I was really talking about the owners of the information rights. I was very unclear. The point was, it isn't really hard at all. It is something many people would devote their free time tdo for no compensation. The problem is more directly a result of trying to...

    D&D 5E Any word on (Full) 5e PDFs?

    I am glad to see something digital in the works. I hadn't heard of this. I would much rather buy it than hard books if it actually does have everything the book has. That being said, I had to stop reading on their site when I saw the words "Tabletop digital companion tools arehard to build...
