    D&D General Pact of the Blade Warlocks - How often do you change your weapon?

    Ime they only ever change it if they don't already have a rapier or whatever (ie super edge case) and when they find a more magical version than they already have.

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Hypothetical problem. Did it ever happen? Sure. Did it happen more often than the need to make serious efforts at maintaining the oath added to the game with paladin players proactively making an effort to maintain their oath? Absolutely not. Paladin carries weight because it's not simply a...

    Your quite a few years late to worry. [ https://oots.fandom.com/wiki/Evan%27s_Spiked_Tentacles_of_Forced_Intrusion 😇may have hinted a villain or two had such a spell over the years 😇

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    You've gravely misunderstood what The Archfey are. That fix you describe is likely a minor fey at best because The Archfey are entities like Lord/Emperor Oberon, Queen Mab, & Queen Titania. To put it into scale, one of those links goes to the fr wiki and another of them is a real world...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Seems pretty close to word for word with the first & definitely in sentiment for both. I'd not be surprised if one of the videos where Crawford gushed on exactly that has him saying it there too. Unfortunately it's a badly designed message said so loudly & clearly in 5e's design along with a...

    Yes 5e goes wayyy out of its way to ensure that PCs don't actually need anything ~34:30 https://twitter.co,.com/ChrisPerkinsDnD/status/850183402808463365 the earlier post19 warlock specific tweets The ramifications of that design choice to ensure players don't need anything from the GM's world...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Only one of those tweets was from Crawford and you caught the post between noticing that the forum needs x changed to twitter to show the tweet. Normally Crawfords god awful hot takes are easily ignored yes, but in this case the rules and associated are written that way too. The Archfiend The...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Yes. It absolutely 100% was. So much so that someone on wotc's payroll would have featured making it clear if lonely Isle were shooting their video today This one from Crawford is especially telling given that he was so excited to get it out there when the question was an entirely unrelated...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Except 5e didn't remove them. It simply removed the parts with gm facing levers and replaced them The player facing levers were all left in place or even scaled up in lore weight even before wotc staff went around doubling down on that being the intended design. As cool as the...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Yea it's bad design built primarily so it caters to munchkinism under an umbrella of "RoLePlAyInG" that shields it from the gm ever leaning in or calling bs. All of that was before Crawford gleefully leaned in talking about how it was by intended design that the warlock patron couldn't expect...

    D&D General "True Neutral": Bunk or Hogwash

    It's a critically important difference then vrs now now for purposes of measuring alignment. Because characters who hypothetically donate wealth to churches or use it start orphanages and whatever are not giving up anything that they need now it's an action that carries no weight should...

    D&D General "True Neutral": Bunk or Hogwash

    There's also the tendency for them to think that they aren't dirtied when Bob's "LG" paladin decides to squeeze every orphanage grad quest giver for every last coin before reluctantly accepting a quest∆ or gets stabby while slowly "questioning" captives∆ just because they decide to contribute by...

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    I've sta few authors on webnovel sites like royal road call it ai assisted. Usually they are non English or ESL authors. IME they get treated pretty harshly by the vendetta holy war crowd just for admitting it. The reviews usually get scrubbed and deleted but it adds up. IMO the current ai...

    D&D General Do you use D&D style list of gods in your games?

    I voted no because I use the eberron pantheons and find them much more useful than a forgettable long list of gods with forgettable domains and personalities. With pantheons I can limit churches to a sane 1-2 maybe 3 and develop them through play if they come up Edit: sovereign host, dark...
