    D&D 5E (2024) Tuning big single creatures into multi-part-creatures.

    I can see that being the case for some. These are pretty simple stat blocks though, so personally, I wouldn’t mind.

    D&D 5E (2024) Tuning big single creatures into multi-part-creatures.

    Personally, I don’t mind running large numbers of creatures in combat, especially when several of them are identical, like the four “leg” creatures. But YMMV.

    D&D 5E (2024) Tuning big single creatures into multi-part-creatures.

    I was tempted to vote “other” and say it’s not a good idea, it’s a great idea. But the joke wouldn’t be worth messing with the poll results in that way. Yeah, this is awesome. It reminds me of how dragons work in Dragon Age Inquisition, which has some of the best dragon fights in any video...

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

    Dungeons are quite literally the name of the game at my table. Generally speaking, dungeons are where adventures happen, the wilderness is an obstacle between the adventurers and the dungeon, and town is where you go to sell off the spoils of a successful adventure and take a respite before the...

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

    Well, that’s dumb. Though, frankly, I think Clerics should be Charisma-based too, so whatever.

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

    Why does that key off Wisdom instead of Charisma…?

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    That’s a bit better. Fist is a little odd to combine with staggering. Maybe Warrior of the Staggering Step or Staggering Gait, something like that.

    Staggering Warrior would be fine I think, but “Warrior of” seems to be a tough naming convention to work with.

    Warrior of Staggering? It’s better than intoxication but I’m not sold

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    That’s a fair assessment I definitely think there’s room for a full defender subclass. Not sure there’s room for a full mounted fitghter subclass. Not due to lack of design space, but due to the narrow usefulness of mounts. A lot of places adventurers tend to go adventuring are not very...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I agree, though subclass abilities coming way too late is a pretty universal problem in the game.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I’m not sure the magical beverages are actually alcoholic. They don’t say anything about intoxicating the character, they have effects like letting you breathe poison or resist radiant damage. It feels more like PF2’s mutagen alchemist than an actual drunken master…

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I quite like the Barbarian subclass updates, though I still think fire damage for a desert barbarian feels forced. I get that causing exhaustion would be overpowered, but deserts aren’t full of fire, they’re just dry, and they’re cold a good half of the time. Ah, well. Removing the limit on the...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    The subclass has never been about actually being drunk, and still isn’t in this UA. If you read the description, it’s still about imitating the movements of someone who’s “intoxicated.” They just… decided to also give it magical potions for some reason. None of which are required for the...

    All healing spells had their dice doubled in the new rules.
