    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    My spouse's battlesmith is an excellent off-tank and ranged attacker. I think they are kind of their own thing, but sort of fit the wizard niche, while also being able to heal in a clutch.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2000) was a passion project turned cinematic disaster

    Forgive me for taking this quote with a huge grain of salt.: "TSR owner Lorraine Williams allegedly refused both Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron as directors." :rolleyes: Sure she did. Add that to the list of her alleged crimes against the fanbase. That's some quality reporting.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    It was a short lived reprieve. It was playing as I walked into our Holiday assembly. I'm done. I feel I was too cocky.

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    I think a lot of rules compatibilities issues simply comes down to the kind of group you are playing with. If it's a group that knows rules inside out and enjoys a bit of rules lawyering, then you've probably gotta be a bit more stringent. Most of my players could give two Fs and are more than...

    D&D General Maps VTT feedback program

    I just experimented - you can draw an S on the map with the draw tool and put a sticker down over it. Only useful if you have an appropriate sticker, and if the sticker suits the map art so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I would love to see tons more stickers and also a better way to...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Arrrgh...I got caught by a Jimmy Eat World cover of it! Not even the original! Does that count?

    D&D General The Best Advice for New DMs I Can Give

    Also, my DMing is noticeably better with 1-3 adult beverages.

    But you can already do what you're asking for. So that's why I'm not clear why it's even an issue, other than it could be made a bit more convenient, by letting the DM toggle all the character sheets at once, or something. But that just would be literally a 2-3 minute time saver at the start of...

    I don't think it's unreasonable at all but, aside from streamlining the toggling, I'm not sure what more you want DDB to do about it. They can't stop your players from buying their own books on DDB, anymore than the FLGS can stop players from buying books for your pen and paper games. The...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    I agree that both of those abilties were out of line. Also, I think the "nerf" to stunning strike was the best thing that happened to monks. Taking away their ability to spam it allowed designers to give them a lot of alternatives, so the class is no longer a one trick pony. Plus, the updated...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    Here's one of my opinions that I can see from your initial comments you don't agree with: the 2014 monk was poorly designed and underpowered, and the 2024 monk is a vast improvement, though deflect attacks is OP. I love the change to stunning strike. Have at it - tell me why I'm wrong. I'm...

    This would save time, true. But doesn't solve the issue that if the player buys the books for themselves, you probably just have to ask them not to use it. Edit: when I start a campaign, I make a list of what I want toggled on and off on that page and send it to all the players - it only takes...

    Few of my players buy their own books, so I'll take your word for it! You can just tell them what is and isn't allowed. This is no different than playing with pen and paper, and a player buying a book that you don't care to use in the campaign. Have a conversation about it.

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    You think that the fact that their choices didn't reflect exactly your tastes, out of the thousands upon thousands of respondents, means "the designers didn't care what I thought or what I enjoyed about their game"? Do you think that you are the perfectly representative sample, or something...

    It’s on the first page of the character builder. Just tell players what content is permitted. If you are using content sharing, you could also do this by limiting which content you choose to share.

    WotC is very specific that rage is not just being angry, or even being angry at all.
