    D&D 5E (2024) Representing afflictions in D&D 5e - which do you think work best/least dislike.

    I regularly use Poisoned or Incapacitated for a number of rounds dependent on the severity of the affliction and/or "save ends." I plan to start using the 2024 Exhaustion rules more. Not terribly imaginative but each is quick and easy to implement in the moment and all are definitely things the...

    D&D General Best one shots? (2014 or 2024)

    So I'm considering asking my gaming group to commit to four or so hours of in-person gaming after years of virtual gaming to celebrate my 20th sobriety birthday.. I'm a forever DM who would like to be a player for one day so I'm looking for a good 4 to 5 hour one shot written for level 7 or...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Back when we were younger (same basic gaming group on/off for 25+ years) and played almost weekly (3 of 4 weeks average I'd say) we regularly made it to the mid-teen levels and twice hit Level 20. Now that we average 1 game every three weeks (stupid life getting in the way of gaming) we usually...

    No combat, overly complicated plot. (I'm the DM so I can call it "overly complicated")

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    And then their creature type would change to "aberration," totally changing what can/can't affect them.

    Shillelagh - Why no scaling?

    I believe it is specifically designed for multiclass characters, magic initiate, or druid subclasses that provide extra attack. It is very underpowered otherwise.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules Clarification: Epic Boon at 19th Class Level or Total Character Level?

    Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood the question.

    Planescape Best Planescape Book across editions and 3rd party publishers?

    This might be a little off topic, but do people generally think the 5E Planescape set is worth getting? It is in the $50 range now and is one of the few 5E books I don't own and I'm not remembering why I avoided it.

    D&D 5E (2024) You Can Now Pre-order Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    That was one of my first thoughts right after oh cool a new Eberron supplement. I think the restrictions on dragonmarks are just too deeply baked into the lore for me to dismiss them.

    D&D 5E (2024) [HOMEBREW] Ranger Ideas +

    Lately I've been wondering if the easiest fix is just to have Hunter's Mark do more damage when cast at a higher level. The ranger would maintain the free castings at level 1 but if one really wanted to capitalize on Hunter's Mark they could always just cast at a higher level and do more damage...

    I wish there was something in the photo that provides scale. Like, how big is that thing anyway??

    Five Takeaways From the 2025 Monster Manual

    They aren't as interested in "who is playing the game" as they are "who is buying the books." And older people are likely buying more books. I am ancient by your statistics reference and I own nearly everything WotC has put out in both digital and physical form. You'd better believe they want to...
