    D&D (2024) Pact of the Chain broken at low levels?

    Yeah the action for Familiar Attack is a good hindrance, I forgot that (y) While I fear mostly the meaty-hp, but if they don't attack anyway than you can ignore them mostly as a gm. This should work for most combat situations and defuse my fears a bit, there are certainly shenenegans that you...

    D&D (2024) Pact of the Chain broken at low levels?

    The Sprite would be finde in my book, with it's 10 HP and 6 damage. The big offenders are the Imp, Quasit or Sphinx of Wonder who each has over 20HP and 12-13 Damage (Quasit has less, but does poison condition). With it's additional abilities this might be stronger than many Heroes at the first...

    D&D (2024) Pact of the Chain broken at low levels?

    I love the little critters, but a HP20+ creature that can go invisible, shape change and do respectable damage at first level seams extremly powerful .. I mean the HP alone is double that of a first level char. Then there is also the debatable rule that it cost only a single Magic action...

    D&D (2024) Counting the minutes to get the PHB 2024...

    I really like the Beyond message... D&D BEYOND is currently offline because we spent our entire budget on this giant silver dragon statue.

    D&D (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    That's easy. Either you have the pact at level 1 but its full power doesn't come throu until the third or you dabble with dark powers until you decide where you want to fully commit at 3rd Level.

    D&D (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    I also think it's to costly compared to Eldritch Blast, but I think you can get nice effects with a good magic Weapon and maybe Weapon Specialisation (if you Multiclass) that you cannt with EB. In my opionion, the main problem is that agonizing blast is used per attack, which makes it EB...

    D&D (2024) How D&D Beyond Will Handle Access To 2014 Rules

    I simply hope that there will be an option to use just one Version (2024 or 2014). I will certainly restrict to only 2024 when I will test out the system and don't want a mixture of legacy and new rules when I am just learning the new options.. P.S.: I just saw in the full Article that you can...

    I'm very excited for that. So many interesting IPs and the trailer looks great! 8D

    D&D (2024) Lots of new Lance options

    It seems only humans, aasimar and Tieflings can choose their size. They reasoned it (in a Video) with that their are real life small humans and want to open the option to play one .. which sounds fine by me. But I wonder how many will use that option just for min/maxing builds.

    D&D (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    Unarmed Combat gives you three options now .. damage, grapple and shove. Do Grapple and Shove need an attack/hit and Save or just the save?

    D&D (2024) Lots of new Lance options

    Humans can be small now. So you can play a small human on a mastif knight :) P.S.: Aasimar and Tiefling can be small too .. but not dwarves, they have to stay medium :)

    D&D (2024) Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth? - Languages in 2024

    I like that rare Languages are now really rare. But I do agree that Classes, Species and Backgrounds should have given fitting Languages automatically. But I find it especially strange that you don't get your Species Language automatically. I have seen two generated Characters so far (one on...

    D&D General Short vs Long Rests and 5.24E

    I am curious how much (if any) changes this bring on the table. I'm still of the opionion that if you can rest for 1 hour then it should be safe (and quiet) for 8 hours so why don't you just long rest. But luckily my players don't abuse that. :) A great (small) change that might be overlooked...

    D&D 5E So, I kind of want to stay with 2014 rules. What are my longterm options?

    When the new Books are out, the old ones will be cheap to get, so buy a spare or two and you are set. Contentwise with all the amount of stuff that exist for the 2014 Edition, you should be set for live and new stuff should be relatively easy to convert. :cool: Also books don't just vanish...

    D&D (2024) gaining the same proficiency

    I saw a cool new Video from Mike Shay yesterday where he created a 5.2 Characte. What irritaded me a bit that he got the same tools proficiency from the Class and Background (also a Skill, but he simply changed the one from the class) and got nothing for it. The 2014 Version gave you another...

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    They changed the two cheaper Kickstarter Options .. 60$ for two pdfs or your choosing and 95$ for two physical books. This is a big improvement, especially for those who only want one world.

    D&D (2024) Weird invisibility loophole saves Hiding but ruins the spell: Lose the Condition's benefits without losing the Condition

    In 5E it was always that even when you are invisible they still know where you are. You had to actively hide, so they don't know hwere you are. That doesn't mean that you don't get the benefits of disavantage to attack, cannot be targeted....

    D&D (2024) 2024 PHB/DMG/MM art/layout: like or dislike?

    I really like the layout from what I have seen. It's easy to find stuff, easy to scan and read,.. :cool: Art is mixed for me. I love most of it (consistently good quality!), but overall there is too much high-magic, high-level stuff and many elements to modern day (glasses, hair-cuts...
