    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I've been researching how Vampire Bite appears in other books, and I've thought of some possible changes. First, I think the Proficiency Bonus should be used, because it makes a more powerful vampire deal even more damage. Perhaps dealing 1d4 or 1d6 damage for each PB would make sense, or the...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    Dhampir don't be Undead makes me wonder if they'll let the Warforged be a Construct. They removed the not breath trait from all undead in the Monster Manual, so it made sense to remove it from the Dhampir. I think the bloodied advantage is an attempt to show that a hungry Dhampir is more dangerous.

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    So, what do you guys think about the Dhampir changes? Unearthed Arcana: Two types: Humanoid and Undead (I thought they would keep it, since they can now be healed with spells and healing potions). Vampiric Bite is a natural weapon, counting as a simple melee weapon, attack with CON, deals 1d4...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I know. I mentioned Dhampir because they are going to update the lineage: Additionally, the book will present Astarion as a friendly NPC and likely approximate the rules for Dhampir and vampire spawn more closely for simplicity.

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I’m really about what changes they’re making to the Dhampir lineage (it’s not a species). Are they planning to bring it closer to the BG3 rules? For example, in Van Richten’s Guide, the Vampiric Bite is an Action, uses your Con modifier, deals 1d4 damage (or 1d6 if you go by the Mordenkainen’s...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want & expect to see in 2024's 5.5e?

    I think I'm the only one who doesn't want hundreds of classes and races. :) I want something simple, strong, and with room for infinite possibilities. I would like to see fewer classes (something between 5 and 8), but with more variables. Specific traits can be explored in subclasses (ranger...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want in the revised DMG?

    Thank you! Yes, I mean the 5e books have an outdated graphic design. I understand they were trying to create the feel of a classic D&D book, but from the game point of view, there are a lot of visual tricks that can make the book better. It doesn't have to be visually modern, but it does need to...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want in the revised DMG?

    I want more math in the DMG: 1. Just basic tips for creating your world and campaigns. They can delve into this subject in online tools, like a monthly issue or something. 2. Understand the math behind the classes. If I need to create a class or a subclass, what's the math? How do balance them...
