    D&D (2024) Ranking the Weapon Mastery

    I'm sure people have preferences, but from a power level how do people feel about the different mastery options? My rankings below. Top Tier - always use when available Vex - this is too good IMO, since it creates a cascade, where each hit increases the chance of another hit. Cleave - a "free"...

    D&D (2024) Am I crazy, or did they just turn Stealth into full Ninja mode?

    So after a delve into the rules glossary, I was sad that they got rid of the Hidden condition. Instead it makes you invisible, but I don't think they worded it quite right. You gain the Invisibility condition until you make noise, and enemy finds you (using the Search Action), or you attack. The...

    D&D (2024) Attack Types Suggestion

    Due to the insane arguments about non-weapon "weapon attacks," I figure it's probably a good idea to use 1D&D as an opportunity to fix this with natural language. By adding "natural attacks" to describe using a part of the body to attack (including most monster attacks), this separates them from...

    D&D 5E Why do ability scores cap at 20 instead of 18?

    I like the idea of capping ability scores, rather than the endless chase from 3E & 4E. However, I can't fathom why they chose 20, instead of the dice maximum of 18 (which was the non-magical maximum in AD&D and earlier). It might have made sense back when racial ASI could take a rolled ability...

    D&D General Worldbuilding Humor: Cult of the Dominant Master

    Just a fun idea I cooked up, and I thought others might find amusing. Cult activities should include anything your players would find entertaining. Cult of the Dominant Master Rejecting all existing dogma and evidence, this cult believes that all of reality is nothing but an illusion created by...

    Creating Factions: Large or Small?

    So I've started looking into making factions for my Greyhawk campaign, and I'm not sure if they really need to be multi-national, as the ones listed for the Forgotten Realms. It seems that national or even local factions are much more likely to have an impact in the average game. For example...

    Alternate Resting option

    Overall I find the standard resting rules to work perfectly fine, but sometimes I want to run something a bit grittier. However, the slow healing option from the DMG is too much in that directions, limiting the amount of combat possible for most adventures. Seeking out a middle ground, I thought...

    D&D 5E 2.5 ft grid spaces - crazy idea?

    Preface: this is an idea for playing on Roll20, where the mapping and miniatures are easily adjusted in size. So, I was thinking the other day about a dungeon adventure, and I needed to put a door on a map in such a way that it didn't line up with the grid. I was considering the ramifications...
