Hunter's Mark with Concentration is fine, power-wise. The complaint is that people want to be able to benefit from Hunter's Mark while they are concentrating on other spells. But they don't need that. There are enough free castings of Hunter's Mark that it can be dropped to cast a different...

First, Baker's Boy is a background. Second, the Zero-to-Hero trope works with ANY existing class. The only thing that it doesn't reflect is the character being worthless at level 1 compared to other level 1 peers. But let's fiddle with the idea of a character that comes from a divine-favored...

It sounds like you're talking about an Background, NPC hireling, or level 0 or 1 character. What does a level 5, 10, 15, 20 GEC character look like? I'm curious what this looks like to you. Do you want a character that instead of identifying with an existing class identity with specialized...

What if the Flying Broom is "reskinned" as a hoverboard-like object, but is mechanically the same? Would it be the most popular Uncommon magic item in the game?

There are so many planes. They need some context and insights on ways to use each of them, as an adventure might need. If Celestials are things you can fight, and they come from the Upper Planes, I want to know the basics of each of those Goodly Upper Planes, for inspiration purposes. Did the...

I think there may be some blending of D&D mythology and Earth mythology that is confusing things. If your "D&D-Zeus" is CG, then that is not the same evil, selfish "Greek-Zeus" who did bad things to people against their will. Earth mythology and afterlives aren't "Aligned" in the same way as...

I would argue that murderous warmongers and pillagers don't go to a Good-aligned afterlife. If people think that conquering humans from centuries ago were "Good", I have ocean-front property in Anauroch to sell you. In D&D, the afterlives aren't based on cultures. It's based on the ethics and...

In my campaigns, the upper planes are not all "Peaceful" they are "aligned" and lots of emotions are possible. Every alignment has people who engage in combat. It does not need to be evil or to the death. The Upper Planes can have regions where people can test their mettle in non-lethal ways...

To be honest, I get elves being fey. It's fine for Charm Person not to work on them, but what other "humanoid"-targeting spells would they get to ignore? Is there more than Hold Person and Dominate Person? In my home campaign, any humanoid who is born in the Feywild, or lives in the Feywild too...

I dunno, man. D&D has 50 years of instilling new definitions and descriptions over old concepts. D&D has become more mainstream in the public consciousness. For instance, there are many different mythological ways to describe or name the same kinds of "fey" of Europe, but in D&D they all get...

Bah! Fighting Men were different than Dwarves, and Hobbits were different from Thieves! Literally!

This means the "Used to be Bonus Action spells abilities" always have to be used before another action. That might be ok for effects that are intended to boost your next attack, that is quite restrictive and limits tactics for any other Bonus Action-style actions. For example: So you can't...

If the mechanical numbers are inherently added to the stat block and there is an entry in the stat block that says the same thing, DMs might double up on the bonus for the character in question. I don't like the idea of making the stat block bigger by adding text that "explains" why the numbers...

Wait, it looks like they removed language saying the Tiny version of the Cannon can be wielded in your hand... My wife likes the choice of using it as a hand cannon that she can carry with her, or as a mobile turret if the situation warrants it/ If it has to be a turret, it is worthless in a...

I think the 2024 books opened the pistols and muskets to be more accessible, and the artillerist needs pistol/musket proficiency and should be able to use them as focuses. At least let the Artillerist choose between wands and pistols if they can't have both. The only reason they used wands...
