    Might be interesting for a wizard apprentice campaign.

    Circle Casting Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun

    Some industrious 3rd party type will need to go through the PHB spell list and some up with specific effects for circle casting every eligible spell.

    D&D General One Shot Idea: The Boy George episode of A-Team, but with dwarves

    Hear me out: PCs are a party of dwarf adventurers. A buddy of theirs (a bit of a hustler, trying to get into the music business) invites them out (or hires them as bouncers?) for a very special evening of entertainment --- an extraordinarily violent tavern in a remote mining outpost is...

    D&D General I wish those new Forgotten Realms books would hurry up...

    Indeed, but I would be interested in seeing something canonical as to how that works out in practice in Faerun.

    D&D General I wish those new Forgotten Realms books would hurry up...

    Now I doubt they have room for this, but I would sure like to see some discussion of the different goliath subtypes and where they fit in, geographically and culturally.

    D&D General I wish those new Forgotten Realms books would hurry up...

    . . . because the real world just isn't working out for me here lately.

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    I’ve been poking around and trying to learn a little bit more about the setting. I don’t know if this is the vibe they’re going for it all, but it looks to me like you could do a real slobs versus snobs thing where the heroes are basically Firefly level and the antagonist are some inscrutable...

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    "Your stats and skills also scale more rapidly, thanks to a Constellation tattoo that boosts a stat or adds a skill proficiency with every level up. Plus, you get the usual Ability Score Improvements at levels four and eight." I guess the effect is that a character who maxes out to 10th level...

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    Wizards of the Coast quietly released its Exodus RPG, and it's just DnD in space "The Cataphract class operate specialized Mechs, for example, while Rangers partner with Awakened animals that have the same sapience as post-humans."

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    Can someone tell me what the classes are and maybe a little detail on each? I don't know a single thing about this property, but I desperately want a solid starting point for sort of a d20 Modern based on the 5E engine (and Everyday Heroes is not what I was looking for).

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Plenty of room for a Charisma fighter build. I'd like to see more subclasses that put that second-best ability score to good use. Elementalist sorcerer with a high Constitution, tactician fighter with high Charisma, thug rogue with high Strength, that sort of thing. Mostly for the classes...

    D&D General Blessing of the Lone Champion: what's the best pick for a solo adventurer?

    So this Dragon Delves touches upon the possibility of running a game with one player plus one DM. Riddle me this: assuming they get juiced up a little by the Blessing of the Lone Champion, what sort of character would be best / most fun? Off the top of my head . . . A lone ranger, so to...

    D&D General Quick idea for Netheril campaign

    [LOWER DECK AND WWDITS SPOILERS] This concept isn't really about the PCs going from the Little Guys to the Big Guys . . . this is about surviving long enough to become a Lower Medium Sized Guy. It's like Lower Decks, where Boimler's arc is from being an Ensign who wants to be a Captain, to a...
