    D&D 5E (2024) How to make ranged attack more hazardous for the user.

    I think the advantages of ranged attacks are mitigated by proper use of cover rules (super rare in practice). But in general, having mobs that aren't just all on one side of the map qnd/or having cover from ranged attacks does a good job of stopping ranged characters from being so strong...

    D&D General Talking Animals

    So you mean talking animals not as animals but as playable races? Plenty of examples of this, we have bunnies, cats, fish, turtles... Use these as a comparison and have a Dog if you want, but you really need hands.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Is this all a coded thing about "Those people?" Enworld running dnd would be a train system with 50 criss-crossing tracks, no signals, and numerous collisions a day. All in service to what? I seriously don't get it, but I'm not out in search of the next culture war.

    D&D General Is this use of a wizard's spellbook accurate?

    What a train wreck. No. I'm not even quoting rules on this it's so wrong. The table says what level spells you can cast, and for wizards that also means the spells you can copy into your spellbook. My guess it this is AI created slop that will now poison future AI slop articles.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    I sometimes wonder if this forum just attracts the pedantic. It is a magic action. It is an attack. It has advantage.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms Question: Do followers of Bane engage in sacrifices?

    When I think of followers of Bane I picture khaki wearing tiki-torch bearing pinheads. They actually think they're the Good Guys.

    D&D General Player: Gaining influence in d&d

    1. Do stupid dances that a bunch of people want to watch. That seems to be the tiktok influencer model. 2. Show your awesome rich person stuff to people who want to watch. That's the IG influencer model. If it were me I'd be influencing the lifespan of the racists by cutting them short, but...

    D&D General Games Economies

    I think that as a player I want to adventure, not spend my efforts shopping for things I can't afford. Obviously if you make you players righ quickly they'll have plate mail as soon as they can afford it. If you let them buy magic items then they'll be decked out with everything if you let...

    D&D General Wild Shape: Inefficient or Useless?

    I think everyone has covered it, but in summary it's neither inefficient nor useless. Yes, a rat or spider is a great scout. And yes, scouting means splitting the party. Sorry cleric, keep your heavy plate mail where you are, I'll go see what the enemy camp is like. Note that your spider or...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5.5 Fighter Best Eince 2E

    You can't use a longbow without 13 str, which seems like a good compromise to me. Longbows are fantastic, it's bad to avoid them.

    D&D 5E (2024) 5.5 Fighter Best Eince 2E

    Good observation. In effect, it buffs two handed weapons if you make better magic shields harder to find.

    Elven Chain is either a +1 Chain Shirt or +1 Chain Mail and thus is either Medium or Heavy armor. It is defined as being either in the 2024 DMG, but also specified as such in the basic rules: "Armor (Chain Mail or Chain Shirt), Rare."...
