Yes, a DM tool made using their own data would probably be ok with me. For this question I try to contain things to content they are already producing now, like books and minis
Hi folks! I am curious about what would be a dealbreaker for people who buy WotC products.
I see a lot of talk on social media about “AI” being used to make WotC products sooner or later.
Now I am curious: if you knew a product was the direct result of the recent public tools often referred to...
So far I have been running it pretty RAW, but my game is limited to PHB24 and MPMotMultiverse.
ability scores are not attached to backgrounds
spirit guardians and the like only trigger once per turn
at any point in a fight, the party can choose to retreat. In that case, the party flees the...
This topic is perfect for arguments, combining alignment and edition war.
I don't really see alignment as adding much to the game. Often times it's just a constraint and an arbitrary distinction that doesn't work in real life, which I try to emulate. It can help with role playing monsters, but...
I've actually been using it quite a bit on Roll20, and someone sent me her spare set of cards that she got with the purchase. They were in perfect condition and look amazing. I am having trouble convincing myself to get a physical copy, even though I am pretty sure I would get it if I didn't...
It looks like a mod using the beloved Baldur's Gate 3 character's is no longer available on the Nexus Mods website. Read PC Gamer's article for more information.
It doesn't appear to have much more information than this. I didn't know you could strike a DMCA against a mod!
After level 3? But annihilating minions is what the game is all about! :D
I build encounters based on the situation. In tier 3, I don't even count the monsters in the XP budget. It's about creating a believable host. Just because the PC's are level 8, doesn't mean necromancers don't use zombies...
Depends on the campaign, but I love using a half dozen CR 1/8 to CR 1 to give encounters some more depth. Zombies, Toughs, Shadows, Kuo-Toa, Pirates, Acolytes, Grung, Swarms of Stirges and the list goes on.
This is such a weird take to me. Fireball still turns the tide of battle in many encounters I have run, and that hasn't changed with the revision. A ton of damage still does what you want, and can clear minions easily. Sure it falls off in a couple levels, but that's fine.
None of these excite me. None of them tell me what kind of campaign it is, what we will achieve or who we are as players. There's no mention of powerful artifacts to be found, a winter queen who's sorrow has put the land in a frozen time or a fierce dragon having burnt a path through a kingdom...
I did know that the dragons would be grouped by color only, but I have had no problem finding monsters so far. It took 10 minutes to get used to it.
It's different. We'll figure it out.
