    D&D 5E (2024) Faerun: What Do You Think the Surviving Shades Are Up To?

    Aart from rebuilding a city of Shade? Ive had the two surviving royals tane charge snd using the mythallar from Anauroch Empire of Shadows book to create shadow magen. Theyre short of personal. Should of Thirst is a act 2 BG3 inspired place. Dead magic zone shadow weave works fine though...

    I would argue the basic line was reasonably casual.

    Seems to be an invented enworld problem. We did a deep dive elsewhere on actual problems. CME got number 1 but rarely used, emanations, chromatic orb got mentioned along with verzerker barbarian iirc

    Are people actually weapon juggling or is at online theorycrafting?

    5E has save or suck spells. Spellcasters often struggle at the kill part. 5.5 meta imho is use those save or sucks to let the martials do their thing. Best party 1-20 is probably cleric, druid, fighter, monk, paladin something like that.

    3E was dearh=best strategy. Death/incapacitated is the best debuff. You might stack spell DC, damage etc to do that. 5E has bloated HP by comparison, save or dies dont really exist and you cant stack buffs/spell DC as much.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    That was his advice. I think I need to use more step 3. Ive been buying clearance sales. 4 for $3 or 3 for $5.50. Italia and Humbol. Most are fine.

    D&D 5E (2024) Changes to the Command spell and its use at the table.

    They often dont. Its what makes control spells so brutal. Alot if the good ones target wisdom.

    I had +8 with advantage fail to command. CR 16 or 19 iirc. DM specials are gonna have greater magic resistance.

    D&D General The Revised Monster Manual was released 1 year ago today! How have you liked facing down and using the new monsters?

    Its going in blind what's good. Fire resistance or immunity has been great since 1E.

    D&D 5E (2024) Assassination on a PC yay or nay?

    I didnt expect to roll an 18 on initiative or land the crit. Last campaign they got wrecked by command and hold person.

    D&D 5E (2024) Assassination on a PC yay or nay?

    It was a ranged attack shoot snd scoot. RAW the actual assassin is CR8. A bunch of them is way to high. Last campaign I used bhaalists a lot. CR2-5. Don't want to overdo the assassinations.
