    D&D 5E Baldur’s Gate: The Descent in the wild!

    Is it true that there is the option to redeem Zariel in the adventure? (and are her stats the same as in MTOF?) If so, or if she otherwise departs from her position, who becomes the new Lord of Avernus? Does the adventure provide a "canonical" answer?

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    I wish all Arcane spellcasters (i.e. Wizard, Sorcerer, Warlock, etc.) got the same number of spells known and spell slots per level. A Player shouldn't be penalized for choosing to play a caster whose power is innate as opposed to studied from a book. Sure, there can be game-mechanical...

    Hey, thanks for what you wrote backing me in the thread on 6th edition, where you quoted the PHB on scores of 10-11 being the average for a Human. Appreciate it, I didn't realize it explicitly said that in the rules. (y)

    D&D 5E Baldur’s Gate: Descent in to Avernus Table of Contents

    Hmm. Six new stat blocks, possibly seven depending on whether Zariel's stats are the same here as is MTOF, but no additional Archdevil stat blocks. Bel was originally defined as a Pit Fiend, and I'd expect he has lost the power boost that drawing off of Zariel gave him, so presumably standard...

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    Except there is no necessity for them to show up independently in multiple regions in order to have separate cultures. After all, Humans aren't thought to have originated independently in separate areas of the word (whether created or evolved), are thought to have come from one "batch", and yet...

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    LOL, but giving every Human a +1 to each ability score isn't nonsensical? Remember what the whole point of ability scores adjustments was in the first place, and what it meant: it showed how your character compared to an average Human, who was assumed to have a 10 in each ability score, like the...

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing? Your mention of "theme" makes me think you are disagreeing, but then you mentioned "a bunch of numbers" which sounds like ability scores! Please clarify... :confused:

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    Umm, that was in Medieval England... it didn't apply to all Medieval Humans, and even then didn't literally apply to every single English person (i.e. women were not so required). If you want to argue that it's reasonable for one specific group of Elves to almost all be trained in the use of a...

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    .... seriously? You actually think it's the ability score adjustments that make a member of a Race an Elf, Dwarf, or whatever rather than being a Human? For starters, ability score adjustments for the various Races and Sub-Races haven't been consistent and identical across editions - Humans used...

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    It's not gonna happen, but... I'd like to see the elimination of automatic ability score adjustments and skills/proficiencies according to Race. It's fine to say, for instance, that Elves tend on average to be more graceful than Humans, but don't hardwire that into a Dex bonus applied to every...

    D&D 5E IGN Starts Four Week Series of Previews for Descent Into Avernus

    I clicked on that link, and all the images are unviewable - nor does the video come up. I tried accessing the site directly, and only found four (non-D&D) images that come in clear, on the front page of the site - everything below that is gibberish. Am I just doing something wrong?

    D&D 5E Here Are The Races In The New Eberron Book

    Which ones are those? I don't have that book.

    D&D General A Dungeon That IS A Dragon?

    In the old-school cartridge game Paladin's Quest for the SNES (I think... it's been a while), this exact scenario occurs - you go in one end and out the other (yuck). Only upon exiting does it become clear where you'd been.

    D&D 5E Here Are The Races In The New Eberron Book

    Does Crawford state which Shifters we are getting in the book? I know there's several different "breeds", but I think in the 4e Eberron book they only gave you two types.

    D&D 5E Waterdeep: Dragon Heist subplot "Hell of a Summer"- should this be possible? (spoiler alert)

    All right, but that was in a videogame. Since it was licensed, it guess it should count, but I'd really like to see something from a pen-and-paper adventure module or the like that validates this. As TheSword points out, "Hell of a Summer" itself counts, as it's "official". My issue is not "Did...

    D&D 5E Waterdeep: Dragon Heist subplot "Hell of a Summer"- should this be possible? (spoiler alert)

    In one of the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist subplots, "Hell of a Summer", two wicked parents pledge the souls of their children to Asmodeus in exchange for riches and prestige. The eldest son (who I guess was twelve) had his soul taken immediately and his body turned into a Chain Devil; the two...
