    D&D (2024) Minigiant's Grandmastery Feats (Tier 3 Feat Discussion)

    So I've asked for Tier 3 feats before and have asked what people what a Tier 3 warrior is. I've done it myself and am sharing my some of ideas with you all rather than clogging up other discussions. For no money. I like the concept of Weapon Masteries. I'd prefer actual martial cantrips but we...

    D&D (2024) No Dwarf, Halfling, and Orc suborgins, lineages, and legacies

    So the 2024 versions of origins or species are likely close to locked. However I am both shocked and not shocked that Elf, Gnome, Goliath, and Tielfing have lineages that split them up into popular archetypes for the origins but Dwarf, Halfling, and Orc have no internal major cultural or...

    D&D General The Not-Cleric Class for the Other Powers

    After participating in some discussion recently on divine and non-divine classes, I've decided to bring us all into this thought experiment, As anyone who has read my posts here, I have always been a proponent of thinking bout one of our favorite games differently. So here it is. D&D has divine...

    D&D (2024) DMG talk: Additional Starting Attitudes

    Base 5e and the 2024 version both use the Friendly, Indifferent, and Hostile as the base starting attitudes of encountered NPCs. Do you think the Unfriendly and Fanatic attitudes should return. Unfriendly would sit between Indifferent, and Hostile. An NPC that is unhelpful and will oppose the...

    D&D (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Half Elf most popular race choice in BG3

    I was both shocked and not so shocked that Baldur's Gate most popular race was Half Elf. Half Orc even beats Dwarf, Gnome, and Halfling. With Jeremy Crawford statement that they check social media for chatter along with the surveys to make decisions, there is a chance that hybrid races be...

    D&D (2024) Lawful, Chaotic, and Neutral touched species.

    There is a lot more talk about class, monster, and DMings right now due to the current playtest packets But I want to swing back to races err.. specieses.. ugh. Part of the rejection of Aardlings was that there was already a good aligned race, Aasimar. But 5e doesn't have a chaos tinted...

    D&D 5E The Alphabet Badguy Character

    Have create a evil villain for a session due to a silly rumor I blurted out without thinking. Then got a crazy idea. What if there was an evil villain roaming the countryside with usual power in the nation's rumor-mills. They found a way to break the rules. He or She has access to every spell...

    D&D (2024) With Weapon Mastery likely making it in, do you want optional exotic weapons and exotic weapon masteries?

    D&D (2024) Class Exclusive spells

    In contrast with the start of One D&D, WOTC is now toying with classes having exclusive spells and altering old exclusive spells to better match class fantasy. The newer playtests and the newer platyest survey response videos hint heavily in those directions based on community responses. So...

    D&D (2024) How quickly should WOTC add new classes?

    Assuming that the 50th anniversary version of 5th edition is published in late 2024 or early 2025, when do you think WOTC should introduce new classes to 5th edition? It's pretty much stated that the Artificer will be updated. However to me the plan of trying to squeeze every popular D&D...

    D&D (2024) Just make Weapons Masteries into Martial Cantrips?

    Seems like the simplest solution? Warriors and characters with the Weapon Mastery feat learn Masteries with Masteries instead of mastering individual weapons to unlock Masteries. A Mastery can be only used by weapons that meat the prerequisites of the mastery. Prerequisites could include...

    D&D (2024) How the Aardling should be reintroduced in the future. With a fiendish bestial counterpart

    Part of the reason why the aardling wasn't accepted by the community was because the race/origin/lineage/species seemed to not be tied well to the base cosmos and mythology of D&D. The other is that many felt that the aardling was taking the spot of the established aasimar. But imagine if...

    D&D (2024) Could Arcane Recovery be the link between Mage.

    There really aren't really class features between the Mage classes they share in mechanics or style. All the Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard and other perspective mages classes share is Full Spellcasting and access to Arcane Spells. Since Bards have the same things, the mages might need something else...

    D&D General 6 Ability Scores but 4 Classic Classes?

    Typically, when people name the traditional D&D or fantasy classes, there are 4: The Fighter The Rogue/Thief The Cleric/Priest The Wizard/Mage/MagicUser But D&D the game historical and currently uses 6 Ability scores. But it doesn't line up. 6 scores but 4 types of characters. And every D&D...

    D&D (2024) What should be the Optimization and Magic Item Assumption of PCs be?

    There are a lot of conversation about classes and races. However I think that there isn't enough discussion on the other side of the board: The monsters. And how they are out of wack with the PCs And, to me, it all comes down to the assumption of what the PCs have to bring against them. We...

    D&D 5E Archetypal Nations for a Modern Fantasy Traditional D&D like Setting

    I was wondering what the archetypal nations and countries of a Traditional Fantasy D&D like Setting focused on adventure would be. And how newer races/species in the modern traditions would fit in and create their own nations Dwarf Dwarven Kingdom in the Mountains #1 Dwarven Kingdom in the...

    D&D (2024) What could have been: More officially supported nonspell nonMages

    Because of what is happening, we are likely missing a key design that could have made 5.5e/6eOneDnD is better officially supported third party classes in the Warrior and Expert class group. Most vocal DnD fans lean one way or another on their preferences of the spellcasting or nonspellcasting...
