    D&D General All Dead Generations: "Classic Vs. The Aesthetic"

    Simple I choose option C: All orcs the players encounter are 'evil' based on their beliefs, fanaticism, and adherence to a dogma based on propaganda. As you are no longer fighting simply a race but instead an opposing culture who is on a warpath complete with an army. Even children orcs the...

    D&D General Why Exploration Is the Worst Pillar

    Guess my characters belong in ryuutama more than D&D. For example I play a cheerful air genasi who is a warlock 10 / rogue 1 with the criminal background, their patron being The Genie. They are a thief / cat burglar who is built for and equipped with many ways to travel and sneaking, as she can...

    D&D 5E Can your Druids wear metal armor?

    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    I found world building can be wonderful, but it needs to be in small amounts when telling it to players. Feel free to share more in depth if the party is interested, but be careful how much you overshare. Unless the players are very social for the roleplaying, I just assume they are more combat...

    D&D 5E What does 5E do well?

    5e does well with its simplicity and some of its improvements like to segmented movement. Its rigidness through class structure is good as a teaching tool but can feel confining because of ASI/Feats being class locked. 5e is fairly low in terms of power scaling difference between players, so...

    D&D 5E "The problem with 5e" is the best feature - advantage

    I like it on a surface level, gives more emphasis to finding ways to get/give a/d instead of just a reroll. Like simple example is giving an enemy disadvantage on their next saving throw, thats a -2 which can be just enough for a caster player to get their spell to work the way they want it to...
