    D&D General Does D&D Have an Identity Crisis?

    As I said in an other thread: If you take a guy whose idea of the fantasy genre is game of thrones and berserk, a guy whose idea of the fantasy genre is discworld and earthsea, and a guy whose idea of the fantasy genre is skyrim and dragon age, and you sit them down to play the game made by...

    D&D (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

    FFS, this is why I hate discussing mechanics on these forums. The moment you start writing rules, some posters come out of the woodwork to tell you that since your initial draft Isn't perfectly balanced, and polished as a wotc book, you're a failure and your idea should be abandoned immediately...

    D&D (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

    They mean stuff like the Warlock invocations, but with ranger fluff instead An example might be: Mountain terrain mastery: gain a climb speed equal to your move speed and resistance to falling damage. Cavern terrain mastery: you gain dark vision if you don't have it, or tremorsense if you...

    D&D 5E Eberron Aberrant dragonmark idea

    I would reccomend against adding a Dragonmark, cuz that's a major setting shaking event. Instead, I'd focus on developing the connection between the kalashtar and their Quori. After all, what differentiates a kalashtar and a human is that shard of powerful nightmare spirit bound to them...

The rogue can choose to...

    To be fair, Pathfinder had had it on their Rogue since 2015.

    D&D (2024) Martial vs Caster: Removing the "Magical Dependencies" of high level.

    Ooh, I know! Fighters use the magic that flows throughout the world, but rather than drawing it into their core, and using it to cast spells, they flood there body with magic to push their body beyond "human" limits, and to do amazing feats of martial prowess, like healing their own wounds...
