    D&D 3E/3.5 What spells got the greatest buff from 3e to 5e?

    Both of those are concentration though, while they may have a greater effect per spell slot they are also greatly diminished in the ability to stack them with other spells. So far I like that a lot, the spell is potent but it's not an I Win button that is applicable in all circumstances.

    D&D 5E Is this power gamey?

    My only concern would be the corner case of the Big Hit. Normally if you are in bear form with 1 hp and take a crit or something you would lose a lot of your base HP as well because of the overflow, which is one of the balance factors for druids constantly shifting to get new HP pools. This...

    D&D 5E My sister wants to be a Halfling Barbarian (Starter Set)

    In a world where people can start huge raging fires by mumbling and twiddling their fingers and completely novel sentient races walk the planet I see no reason that said novel creatures musculature needs to work like real world humans. But Capn is right, the time to start houseruling stuff and...

    D&D 5E My powergamer players wants to be a bard.

    I don't think it is terrible either way, but that is not how I would interpret the rule. Magical secrets explicitly says to chose two spells when you get the feature and add them to your list. Seems most intuitive based on the description that you could swap those non-bard spells for any other...

    D&D 5E My powergamer players wants to be a bard.

    Yeah I read the whole grappler write-up and it seems like it is an interesting focus for a character but any 'over powered' nature to it would take months of play to achieve and then be neutered in half an hour by a DM who is not asleep at the switch. Whatever the trick is, a one trick pony is...

    D&D 5E DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    Why would you be using the web version on a pad instead of the native ios or android app? I would say anyone reviewing the product based on an early beta of limited functionality (and the web beta is very early and very limited) is making a mistake.

    D&D 5E 5E Player's Handbook owners: What's the current condition of your book's binding?

    I don't know about that at all. Every video game I have ever seen has a forum thread somewhere full of people who had a serious issue and could not run it at all insisting that because 100 people had the same issue that it must be a huge problem. But it ignores the selection bias of people...

    D&D 5E 5E Player's Handbook owners: What's the current condition of your book's binding?

    Mine now is perfect, but my first one cracked all the way through after short use. Got a replacement for free at my FLGS.

    D&D 5E DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    I don't know their plans or anything but based on the scope of what is being tested and is available at this point I think there will be plenty more to test in the future. I would not be surprised if the web/android betas were still being worked on when the iOS version rolls out. And then...

    D&D 5E Is the 5e Monster Manual the best MM ever?

    How can this one be the best when I'm not 14 anymore?

    D&D 5E Newbies reading the MM and DMG?

    Nothing wrong with that, they could be a great DM. However you should mention that the MM and DMG are SUGGESTIONS and any hint that he is trying to use them as books of law (but kobolds can't breath fire!!) will not be cool.

    D&D 5E Prestige classes in Next?

    I don't feel the lack of them. So far I prefer the sub-classes and backgrounds that kick in at a much more usable level for a lot of games. I also would agree that expanded feats can fill a similar customization niche while being easier to balance against a known power value.

    D&D 5E My powergamer players wants to be a bard.

    To the OP: My powergame-iest player wanted to do a Half Elf lore bard also. So far it has been powerful, but mostly as a buffer for the fighter. The only issue I ran into was at level 3 with Cutting Words he then wanted to be told the value of every roll the I made before resolution so he...

    D&D 5E The Art of the Secret Door

    My players had a character that could fly and teleport all the time in our 4E Dark Sun game so a lot of my encounter/dungeon design was about working around that while still giving him chances to use his powers. They were invading the tower of Kalak so I set it up that his inner sanctum was...

    D&D 5E [Parody Thread] Two new licenses for 2015: D&D COMPATIBLE and FREE D&D! COMMUNITY USE

    I gotta admit, role-playing that you are someone who makes RPGs is pretty meta. But the thread is misleading and bemusing.

    D&D 5E what is the best class?

    First class of course! The chairs are so big, and you get to be annoyed by rich people instead of the hoi polloi.
