Like.
Maybe someone else mentioned it but there is at least one 3PP product that provides CR 1 to 20 NPCs of every class. This may not be... -
Crimson Longinus reacted to Ruin Explorer's post in the thread D&D 5E (2024) What’s the difference between sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards? with Like.
Yeah and ironically I suspect they probably had blaster versions being designed, just the Draconic one wasn't. It's sad because the...

Crimson Longinus reacted to MrBeens304's post in the thread D&D General The Great Railroad Thread with Like.
A thing that has come up a lot in this thread but hasn't really been discussed holistically is that context has a significant impact on...

Crimson Longinus replied to the thread D&D 5E (2024) NPCs, and the poverty of the core books.Yeah, this is annoying. I often end up modifying NPC statblocks to make them more PC-like, and I do not love that the 5.5 design has...

I mean, I’m OK with it if it’s like Vecna or Tasha or even just unnamed Archmage A, but when even a so-called Apprentice Mage gets a...
