    D&D 5E Which subclasses dropped the ball and how did you fix them

    I am very much in the camp of not changing them. If a player could not be pursaded to play a more powerful subclass my fix would more be along the lines of tailoring items or encounters that would allow their weak abilities to shine. Trickery already has very good spells. I would probably...

    What do you love about your favorite edition that ISN’T rules related?

    Not sure I really can separate it from the Rules. I love Fifth because of Concentration, Advantage/Disadvantage and the other streamlining. The only item not related to rules would be picking my favourite based on Artwork.

    Are you on your phone? It works in Chrome but not Safari for me. Use a different browser.

    Another Look at the D&D Essentials Kit

    With a code to get it online and a discount for the PHB I may pick this up! I have the physical PHB but an online one for reference would be so much easier (depends what the discount is)

    Shields, Leather, Daggers, & Healing Potions: Most Popular D&D Items

    I am interested to know why you think Dex is not superior? If you have a very large amount of cash then Plate armour gives you +1 AC over the Dex build but you get none of the other advantages such as initiative, common save that Dex offers. I like playing a heavy armour fighter but I do not...

    Why is the shortest lived edition, still one of the most popular?

    I would agree with this. My friend starting running a B/X retro game almost two years ago and we still get 5-10 players every month. My ten year old daughter has even joined in. It is a nice trip down memory lane as a simple dungeon bash but I would rather play 5th Edition myself. My view is...

    D&D 5E Treantmonk's Guide to Wizards 5e

    Before ‘session starts’? My point is what spells are you casting before your divination spells? You can only recover a spell slot if you have already used it?

    Here Are The Most Popular D&D Feats (War Caster Leads The Pack!)

    Interesting to see the Bard is the only Full Caster without War Caster as the top feat (Druid does have it as joint first)

    Open Table Campaigns

    I play in an open gaming group. We have a fairly fixed format. Each morning we gather at the Tavern and head out of the city into the near by caves for a dungeon crawl. We have just had the 19th monthly session. Usually have 5-8 players but it has varied between 2-12. Each session is one...
