    New D&D Unearthed Arcana Reveals Two New Subclasses for Monk and Sorcerer, Plus Revamps For Seven More

    Oh ye the truenamer ironically becoming worse at the craft as it leveled up was a major oversight but it was a neat thought experiment which we're lacking these days. Adept was the last time WotC truly went out there in experimenting.

    New D&D Unearthed Arcana Reveals Two New Subclasses for Monk and Sorcerer, Plus Revamps For Seven More

    This takes me back. Anyone else wish WotC would abandon their sterile class design and experiment more like they did in Tome of Magic and other 3.5e splats?

    Jason Carl on White Wolf's Return, Mage: The Ascension Plans

    Combat in most wod systems was a last resort thing. Vampires engaging in combat risk breaching the masquerade (unless you were playing Sabbath in which case that wasn't much of a concern but then you did have the 2nd inquisition to worry about). Yes there were combat rules and yes they're were...

    Jason Carl on White Wolf's Return, Mage: The Ascension Plans

    I'd argue that this kind of player will never get on well with any of the wod systems because killing and looting is not what any of them are about. Even werewolf despite the heavy violence theme is about them trying to protect what remains in a world where violence is no longer the viable option.

    D&D 5E (2024) New Unearthed Arcana Playtest Includes Barbarian, Druid, and Monk

    You have single creature summons in the Summon spells from Tasha. These conjure spells are a major improvement over vanilla which were either completely broken or nigh on useless depending on DM fiat and always time consuming during a fight.

    D&D 5E (2014) Check Out Planescape's Table of Contents & More!

    Monte Cook's Path of the Planebreaker is a kind of 3p manual of the planes though it really delves into new planes rather than established ones.

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Let's compare it to eldritch blast. At most the damage output of that cantrip (assuming 4 crits and 22 in your casting stat) is 8d10+24 for an average of 68 vs one target. The sorcerer can do 8d6+6+6d6 (it is pretty clear that exploding dice do not get doubled on a crit and are hard capped by...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Might be missing something here but how are you getting that amount? 4d6(base) doubled to 8d6 on a crit + up to 6d6 from exploding dice so 14d6 at absolute most. Draconic sorcerer can then add +6 to the roll if the damage type matches their affinity. Granted their level 10 feature makes this...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Weren't they going to limit critical hits to weapon/unarmed attacks only? If they backpedalled on that, I'd suggest changing the spell to target Dexterity saves instead of Armor Class as that would eliminate the critical hit issue. FWIW the crit would double the base dice and then you'd be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Upcoming D&D Tidbits: Phandelver, Book of Many Things, Venger, & More!

    Deck of many things based adventure around the same time pathfinder is releasing an AP centering around the Harrow Deck. Second time the big two are having matching theme APs lol.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    More action? The movie barely had space to breathe, it was moving from one setpiece to another. If anything, those little side tracks helped flesh out otherwise very shallow characters.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    Before going in, my group stated it won't be a true d&d experience unless the heroes spend at least 30 minutes trying to get through a door and in that aspect it certainly delivered 😅

    D&D 5E (2014) My Five Favorite Things From Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep

    Including pathfinder since at least one of the Exandrian gods is borrowed from that setting, so feel free to go wild.

    D&D 5E (2014) I Think We Need A Bigger Shelf

    I'm not even sure why they're releasing it when Tyranny of Dragons Tiamat works perfectly well in that format and is still available online...

    D&D 5E (2014) I Think We Need A Bigger Shelf

    Am I the only person annoyed by the scale of that thing? It almost dwarfs Tiamat and she should by all accounts be the largest chromatic by far. The GF9 red is the optimal ancient dragon size for me. This just feels excessive.
