    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    I don't know how 3.5 is relevant. It's not based on Bounded Accuracy. 5e is. There's no great miss from having a single point of bonus in a place that isn't perfect

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    The claim was made that 0% will be willing to not have an unoptimized Dragon Cultist because of the stat discrepancy. This is an insistence that NO story can be unoptimized. When in fact, almost every story is unoptimized, because stories are more powerful when they connect to the nature of...

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    Why is the assumption that 100% optimize for stats rather than optimize for story?

    D&D General How often do you use or encounter Dungeons and/or Dragons in your games?

    Since the dragons in my world can range from the size of a rat to that of large modern buildings there are a LOT of dragons. We rarely do traditional dungeons except when venturing into a city carved in a mountain. There are smaller five-room(ish) places more frequently though.

    D&D General What Is In The New FR Books That IS Useful Outside FR?

    Factions (name them as appropriate, only taking the ones that make sense) Bastions Renown Backgrounds! Feats! The microadventures

    D&D General Initial Thoughts on the Two 2025 Forgotten Realms books

    They feature a dozen different art styles in each book released for 2024's rule set. Saying that they are all cartoony is ignoring the work of skilled artists.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms subclasses discussion.

    it's the difference between 5 hp per short rest or 10 hp per short rest at 3rd level. I don't think that's significant when other healers are doing multiples of that.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms subclasses discussion.

    I'm scrapping this line from the Banneret's Group Recovery In my campaign people can use it as much as they want with Second Wind.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    I don't doubt that Beyond is taking away interest from local stores. I hate that. I'm frequently getting books from my local and getting ones with heavy player options from Beyond too.

    D&D General Initial Thoughts on the Two 2025 Forgotten Realms books

    They also brought in Chris Sims for both books. Petrisor is back with D&D as opposed to Magic. Wyatt is involved in both books. The idea that the old guard is gone requires people to ignore the old guard.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    I wouldn't bother reading into what Roll for Combat is sharing regarding sales ever. The massive error when suggesting that only 3k books were sold in a month was never rescinded, corrected and it didn't change their methodology based on what's being said here. For me, this is a claim similar...

    We're listening to the dude that said only 3,000 copies were sold in the first month?
