    D&D 5E (2024) New Campaign: Should I make the switch to 5.5?

    Or most people do not obsess about builds in online forums. I love how the response is that those players are just bad players.

    D&D 5E (2024) New Campaign: Should I make the switch to 5.5?

    I see martials better even in high levels. The last encounter I ran at high level (15) the martials had pasted the enemies by the time the casters got an effective turn. I almost never see full casters outperform martials. I see the folks complain about them on ENWorld but that does not match...

    Nope. The martials outclass the pure casters when fully rested. They just out damage them. I tend to have fewer encounters but difficult in my sessions. My 5.5 cleric; however, destroys martials.

    I find this interesting since the martials tend to dominate my 5.0 games.

    This is well stated.

    WotC 2026 Q2 dndbeyond 3rd party content

    Did I say anything about their character? The free stickers are ok but very limited. Allowing folks to create their own is good; however, I am sure it will fill with AI generated content. I could make my own in that manner. I am wary of this option.

    Ugh…. how did I miss that they would charge for stickers. (Sigh)

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    Crooked Moon and Dark Matter. I’d have to look at my KS history for the third.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    Yet, it has happened in 3 KS’ that I have been a part of.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    Forced may be strong but one KS revolted when they said it would release upgraded to 5.5 and they released both with folks getting to choose their print version. I have seen several more that are allowing players to choose the version including one this morning: Dark Matter.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    I would continue to say 5e compatible or compatible with all 5e versions. If people explicitly use 5.5 then they are going to get dinged by the fragmented player base. I have seen several KS that are being forced to release 2 different versions of their products.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    It was just easier and less confusing to say 5.5 versus 5.24, 5e2024, etc. I guess we could have used 5R, or 5er. May have been fun to say 5er. WOTC muddied the waters with a definitive statement of how to differentiate. They changed too many minor things that was change for the sake of...

    Is it just for 5.5? I mean, if a publisher says it is made for 5.5, then I may avoid it.

    Ryan Dancey & AEG Part Ways Following AI Comments

    Pushing back means figuring out the best method for AI to enhance human work rather than replace it. We need models on how AI frees people to expand rather than allowing a company to replace.
