    D&D (2024) One D&D Cleric & Revised Species Playtest Includes Goliath

    Except RAW, I think, it just doesn't work: Turn Undead: [...] If the creature fails its Saving Throw, it is Dazed for 1 minute or until it takes any damage or you are Incapacitated or die.[...] Smite Undead: [...] Each Undead that fails its Saving Throw against that use of Turn Undead takes...

    D&D 5E Thoughts on a DM ruling for Beastmaster Ranger

    If power level is his only concern, or the bigger one, after playing several Beastmasters I can tell you that you only need a bit more beast survivability. Nothing more. You can try to talk to him and implement these changes: Beast HP is 5 x Ranger Level + Wis mod instead of only 4 x Ranger...

    D&D General One Piece of Art VII (Spells): What Piece of Art Inspired You to Love Spells?

    Artist: Claudio Pozas Source: 5e Player's Handbook Spell: Insect Plague With what sweetness can the nightmare be unleashed: "Go, my little ones... feed on them", and she gently blows.

    D&D General One Piece of Art VIII (People): What Piece of D&D Art Inspired You to Love a D&D Personage?

    Artist: Tyler Jacobson Source: The Second Sundering Subject: Elminster Aumar I know the latest depiction of Elminster is so much Gandalf-y, but for me this in particular is so much ED Greenwood! Here, he commands respect, and shows great strength and personality. Awesome :)

    D&D 5E Are Wizards really all that?

    But maybe now there will be another chance to get those things, as the One D&D playtest has begun. They said they are reviewing all the stuff, classes included, so if enough people provides this feedback on the surveys, probably they'll listen.

    D&D General The Linear Fighter/Quadratic Wizard Problem

    I just wanted to add something to this issue, no problem if you disagree. The fact is, RAW you can Disarm an enemy an unlimited number of times (DMG, page 271); what the Battlemaster is enabling is disarming while still doing damage at the same time. But as the words in parenthesis imply, the...

    D&D General One Piece of Art II (Monsters)- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Monster?

    Artist: Raymond Swanland Source: Monster Manual 2014 Monster: Beholder I think this art is simply amazing. It's not only how dreadful the beholder is depicted, or the level of detail, or the scenario; it's just that you only need to look at this adventurer's face to know you are in the fight...

    D&D Movie/TV An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer

    Maybe you are right. But I think 'Shield' is depicted at 0:46, and they are different.

    D&D Movie/TV An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer

    Well, I think the spell shown at 0:04 is 'Globe of Invulnerability', a 6th-level spell (is the only anti-magic sphere I can think of in the sorcerer spell list, if we don't take into account that a Divine Soul can take 'Antimagic Field', but that is way too high IMO). So we are talking PCs of...

    D&D 5E Specialty Priests in 5e?

    I've been using the Piety System as presented in Theros to great effect. At my table, we found that little addition on top of a matching domain to be enough to represent a specialised cleric of <X> god/goddess. For example, for a Darkcloak of Shar we are using the Trickery Domain, adding Shadow...

    D&D 5E "People complain, but don't actually read the DMG!" Which sections specifically?

    Something that comes to mind is the statement "the exploration pillar is so underdeveloped". But if you look at Chapter 5 in DMG p. 99, you see that there are lots of tables to create and populate dungeons and other environments; there are traps, doors and hazards with given DCs and mechanics...

    D&D 5E 5e Revision: Re-Balancing and Combats per Day?

    Why would I do that? I meant the rest of you don't see it this way, nothing more. And discussing is not a bad thing. No, I don't always follow the XP budgets but what makes sense for the situation; no, I'm not complaining in any thread about rests; and no, I don't think 5e is easy mode.
