    D&D 5E Green flame ?

    Hello, I recently saw the some recordings of Adquisitions Incorporated and noticed that when the DM says 'green flame' the audience would shout 'green flame'. Other D&D products mention the 'green flame', for example the spell Green Flame blade in the 5e's PHB, the green flames on the eyes and...

    D&D 5E D&D fantasy & sci-fi

    I have seen that the sneak peak about WotC's new storyline points towards "Expedition to Barrier Peaks" so I looked for information about that module and found that it is fantasy + sci-fi.

    D&D 3E/3.5 1e, 2e, 3/3.5e or 4e to 5e Conversion guidelines?

Also that the best option that we have is to rely on the material from previous editions by converting it "easily" to 5e (or to create your own, which...

    D&D 5E Beginner question / ability check + proficiency bonus

    Hello, I'm doing my 1st bard ever and while reading the rules I find that the feature Jack of all trades says that you can add half your proficiency bonus to any ability check that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus. I understand that "ability check" means about a roll for any of...
