    D&D General Metal Miniatures Based On the 1977 D&D Basic Set Box

    I would be more interested if they came painted. My son might like them since he paints some. Then again, if I need them painted why not just make them plastic?

    D&D General 5e H E L P! Teacher in need of rescue!

    I ran this for scouts and found online free printable maps to go with it. I also posted several short and free things on DMsGuild that might work. This one is pretty basic and I did modify it for the local convention and it went well. It is for 2nd level though.

    D&D 5E (2024) How to Make Sammaster the Big Bad of Your D&D Campaign

    I see he has 43 hit dice. I like the power that people cannot gain hit points within 60feet of him. He has at-will cone of cold and dispel magic which is cool.

    Intro adventure for levels 1-3 that can fit in each location. Maybe a naga or a giant Conan snake.

    D&D 5E (2024) How to make ranged attack more hazardous for the user.

    Looks like the real 'solution' to fix things is to get rid of the feats like Sharpshooter and Crossbow Expert. This would add in the penalties of shooting while being attacked and into melee or to someone behind cover and such.

    D&D 5E (2024) How to make ranged attack more hazardous for the user.

    It seems to be adding a layer or more difficulty that may not be needed. DMs might be able to overcome some of the problems you see with making dungeons smaller or closer with bending halls and low ceilings to have limited use of bows. This of course nerfs the player that wanted to play an...

    I made a terrible life decision…

    The biggest takeaway, other than the impressive size of the collection, is that there is a Dallas box set.

    D&D Beyond Releases Free Forgotten Realms Adventure

    Yes, they were only one encounter typically. Maybe a situation with a NPC and a monster. They were fine in a pinch, or used to develop some more by yourself.

    D&D 5E (2024) Diseases no longer curable with lesser restoration

    Using them before was a bit of a bore or not much of a deal. This might make them something to actually use again.

    D&D General How do you prefer your monster books?

    Just the basic monster book. I have played too long to need much more. I do like the fluff about whare and how things live and cool ways to use them, but keep it a paragraph or two. Most monsters are meant to be killed and do not need much. Favorite would be the 3-ring-binder. Was not...

    D&D General My character has too many magic items to attune to.

    I let attunement equal proficiency bonus. Bu t I also give out too much magic like older editions. But my players also make just semi-optimized characters so I'm ok with it.

    D&D General examples of high tech stuff in dungeons and dragons?

    There was that whole module with exploring a spaceship that crashed in the High Forest of FR. Barrier Peaks- The cover even has a guy with a ray gun. Anything Spelljammer. Most magic items such as magic stones that let you walkie-talkie with each other.

    D&D 5E (2024) Improving Medicine - one of the least loved skills.

    Using the healer's kit to stabilize someone with an action, I might let someone with Medicine use a bonus action instead since it is not something to get advantage with. Does not make sense timewise but little does in the game. Using it to determine a monster that is bloodied is not...
