    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Gives You Subclasses For Monk, Ranger, and Paladin

    Jackie Chan's film 'Drunken Master' comes to mind. Though as far as I know, the style doesn't actually rely on the practitioner being drunk or even drinking, simply mimicking the actions of a drunk - swaying, moving in unpredictable ways and so on. The trope seems to focus on the fantastical...

    D&D 5E Beast Ranger from UA with Monkey

    Running and holding a gun/weapon for a monkey could prove tricky, but in a world of magic and pixies, his monkey could slowly learn to adopt and become capable of more 'human' postures.

    D&D 5E D&D as a Teaching Tool

    Good stuff! I ruthlessly indoctrinate any sparks from my lectures to D&D (and a wider world of board games). D&D is also great platform for teaching game design, especially when imparting the fun and value of rapid physical prototyping.

    D&D 5E How powerful is charm in 5e?

    Charm Condition Charm Person The target likes the charmer, making it easier for the charmer to socialise with them. They won't hurt the charmer until the charmer or their companions harm the target. (I won't argue the the charmer or their friends harming the the target's friends may cause...

    D&D 5E Hate ASI's ?

    ASI don't make characters 'samey' - players do. And the system doesn't reward boosting primary stats - campaigns do. But the system helps! Maybe it's a difference in campaign style - we have a number of players who do not increase their character's primary stats, preferring to either round out...

    D&D Beyond Beta: Your First Thoughts Thread!

    There will be most of us who are simply looking for another way of making our game time play better, easier and ideally, more fun. And then there will be those looking to promote it regardless of its merits or lack of, because they are tied or looking to tie revenue to it. As it stands it...

    Surprise round question

    Aye - hence 'rules not rulings'.A system could certainly simulate reality down to the finest detail. We're nowhere near there yet - so we have a human agent to arbitrate. Common sense should always trump our abstracted manner of simulating reality - and of course, one table's common sense may...

    D&D 5E Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    I'm not sure about min/maxing but I know I am a fan of max/mixing. Make mine a gin & tonic - and hold the tonic!

    D&D Beyond Beta: Your First Thoughts Thread!

    I use https://donjon.bin.sh/5e/spells/ for spell lists on the go. As tool, the main strength will be official support. However, if they're going to charge for that, I'll stick with a quick google search and appropriately formatted digital documents.

    D&D 5E As a Player, How Would You Beat This?

    Wait, what? They get to design it? Then have to test it? Have them include lots of secret passages and escape routes, labelled 'Ventilation' or 'Maintenance' or whatever. Bury the back-doors under lots of details. Then they just ham up breaking in, and waltz out. Worst case scenario -...
