    D&D 5E Improving Weapon Damage (+)

    What if all Fighters just got some Battlemaster Maneuvers? Then they could use these to do extra damage or other cool fighting things. The easiest way to to this would be by giving out Martial Adept Feat. BattleMasters would still be better at this because their Superiorty dice increase in size...

    D&D General what is the worst race in dnd?

    Dragonlance (1st or 2nd ed). Wizard tries to cast the one spell that can kill the Big Bad before the Big Bad kills the party. Wizard can't cast because the Kendar has stolen the required spell component. This was not even a deliberate choice by the kenders player, it was just what happens when...

    D&D 5E Beadle & Grimm’s is bringing back the Saltmarsh Box

    So just how many maps are in this and how big are they? How many are laminated? I can't find it on their website or in an unboxing video.

    D&D (2024) Is Shield to strong of a spell? Should and how would it be changed for OneD&D?

    Change it for One D&D by making it at +PB to AC, not +5. This keeps it weaker at most levels and follows the "everything is tied to PB in some way" fetish of WOTC's.

    D&D 5E List the character types and level of your current 5E games

    Primeval Thule (I am the DM) L8 CG Half-Elf Rogue Arcane Trickster with the Quodethi Thief Narrative. (Narratives are like Backgrounds but they also grant powers every Tier). She's a Red Fury Acrobat. L7 "CG" Halfling Warlock, very under-optimized, who seems to rebuild every single level so I'm...

    D&D (2024) People That Have Actually Read the DMG: What Optional Rule(s) Do You Want To Get Expanded In One D&D?

    As written the variant rule about playing on a grid only allows for square grids. I would like to see an option for hex grid maps as well.

    Have you ever had a real experience you consider to be supernatural?

    Long ago, before caller ID, I used to always know if the caller was my sister, but it only worked on land lines. I absolutely do not believe in the supernatural but I have no idea why this happened.

    D&D General Magic Initiate and Spell Scrolls

    No it does not. Whether it should or not is another issue. Possible compromise - you can read scrolls of the spells you gained from Magic Initiate or from Race, but not other spells not on your class list. This grants you extra uses but not extra versatility. If you want that versatility then...

    D&D 5E My guesses for what will be in the Book of Many Things

    What about pet related content? The Deck might still let you draw a warrior companion, so if they included stat-blocks for all kinds of currently unstated animals then you could just stat it out with that template and a few levels form the Warrior Sidekick class. Why should a player have to...

    D&D (2024) Bring back the small shield (also, a rapier fix)

    It is not totally free because you would have to be proficient with shields to use it. Part of becoming proficient with shields is learning how to move them to get in the way of attacks. That is a parry in D&D terms.

    D&D (2024) Split the Players Handbook into two books: Lower Tiers and Upper Tiers

    The business reason to split this into two books would be so that you could cut the page count on the first book by leaving out all the higher level spells and options so that the page count would be lower so you could afford to charge a lower MSRP to increase sales and profits. So what if...

    D&D (2024) How to get option to have all feats available at 1st level?

    Militia Training should be multiple background Feats that gives you proficiency with a few specific weapons and (sometimes) armor at L1 and then more features as you level up. Something like: Militia Training Hoplite - L1- Gain Proficiency with Shields and Spears. At L6 - you may wield your...

    D&D (2024) Inspiration on a 20 Test: Still the forgotten mechanic

    Then what else would humans gain to make up for their Inspiration every morning no longer being special? Maybe every other race has to spend before rolling but humans can spend whenever they want?

    D&D (2024) Darkvision: it's here to stay for most races. What penalties could be added to keep is viable, but still have incentive to use light?

    The problem with using lights is that non light using monsters will know you are coming and retreat to a more secure area or bring in reinforcements and they will all Prepare an Action to make a Ranged Attack on you when they can, since they know you are coming. I run every monster with an INT...

    Seventh edition will be where we fix all the problems from sixth edition such as Quadratic Armor Class and Fighters being required to move in L shapes.

    D&D 5E Inspiration! How's It Working Out For You?

    As a player I build my characters personality traits around getting Inspiration, and am always frustrated at how infrequently other GM's give it out. As a GM I urge players to build their characters personality traits around getting Inspiration, I give out Inspiration freely, I expect frequent...

    D&D General What's the DC for a fighter to heal their ally with a prayer?

    Zero. The chance must be zero because otherwise they are are stepping on the"Divine Intervention" class ability of level 10+ Clerics. If even Clerics don't get this until L10, and even they have to roll percentile dice less than or equal to their level and may succeed only once a week, then why...
