    D&D General Actual Play: Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set

    Love writeups like these! It sounds very similar to how I would approach it. So far, I've only ran one-shots with it. What resources on DDB are you talking about?

    Dungeons & Dragons Playtests Four New Mystic-Themed Subclasses

    Eh, metamagic would make the class too finicky. Monks are already pretty complex. I don't think they need another complex feature. I am well aware. I do not like those either.

    Dungeons & Dragons Playtests Four New Mystic-Themed Subclasses

    Just filled it in! We had a playtest last monday and it was interesting to see how some of my expectations were very wrong, and which were right. Mystic Monk Great subclass. In our playtest the player had a blast weaving spells and monk abilities together. Getting focus back on a short rest...

    Dungeons & Dragons Playtests Four New Mystic-Themed Subclasses

    I ran a playtest today with 2 encounters of Dragon Delves “Before the Storm”, a 10th level adventure. In short, I thought: rogue is a cool concept, but the mechanics aren’t quite there yet. I want the rogue to be able to actually STEAL a spell. paladin was meh to me. The flavor is ok, but the...

    Dying god sounds cool. I really dig the concept.

    D&D 5E (2024) How Many HP Should 5E 2024 Minions Have

    As someone who just ran a TON of 11th level 5e24 combats in the past few weeks, I found that 11 HP was very easy to one-shot kill. I used some bandits as filler, and those worked great. 33 HP (Pirates) definitely lived through most initial attacks. I guess your sweet spot would be somewhere...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    I also find it funny that people here think they didn't do any other kind of testing, polling or even consider self selection in their surveys. Is it really that far fetched that these professionals might have thought of the same things you thought of in 10 minutes?

    Ah, my bad, I misunderstood.

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    What is your proof that they are self selected? What do you belief? And why do you believe it? I never heard anything about Crawford saying players forgot what they voted, or maybe that’s from before I played. I just shared first-hand experience of Mike Mearls about this, and I see nothing but...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    Yeah I don’t know how to deal with this level of pessimism and willful ignorance. Or are you being sarcastic?

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    Whatever they did, it was probably already better research than any of us did. Who here has done actual surveys to come to their conclusion?

    D&D General 2014 vs 2024: Monster HP and Resistances

    The 2024 Assassin has been kicking ass in my game. I like a glass cannon every once in a while.

    D&D General New Feywild themed D&D Romantasy tie-in announced

    Why would that give you a bad feeling? Birthright hasn't been relevant in decades, the Feywild makes sense.
