    D&D (2024) Change multiclassing prerequisites?

    Personally, I think I would still allow for multiclassing, but make it feat-locked with a minimum level. After all, it is a case of putting effort into learning a (sometimes radically) different discipline.

    D&D 5E Heritage builder based on Detect Balance sheet

    Just FYI, not every choice is being registered correctly. It consistently shows size small (not functionally a problem). It didn't register selecting advantage against disease. It registered Relentless Endurance instead of Lucky. It doesn't register darkvision beyond 30 feet. I am sure there...

    That is REALLYcool! Many thanks Morrus! Do you have a Reddit account? Or would like someone else to share it there?

    D&D General Data from a million DnDBeyond character sheets?

    That is my point about the inventory. It is reasonable to conclude that a character intended for play, not just as an experiment, will have all the starting bases covered: race, background (even if custom), class, maybe subclass (depending on class and level), proficiencies, starting equipment...

    D&D General Data from a million DnDBeyond character sheets?

    That could be useful. We just need to figure out the minimum threshold for likely notes; though I am unsure at present what the criteria should be. I am guessing that a blank inventory either means it is maintained elsewhere physically, or it is a test character for stats/features. If the...

    D&D General Data from a million DnDBeyond character sheets?

    Given the data included: the list must be beyond simply level 1 characters. How extensive is that? Is it just stating a character count for player notes? Or does it give more?

    D&D General Data from a million DnDBeyond character sheets?

    Well, from what I remember, there are almost 100 official backgrounds, and even though some of them are functional duplicates of others, that still means dozens. Sadly, like with subclasses, the only place I know of that has such a list, particularly in a useful form, is listed as piracy.

    D&D General Data from a million DnDBeyond character sheets?

    So, is it possible to see whether a character has a custom background in the data?

    D&D General Data from a million DnDBeyond character sheets?

    Well, since each background grants not just 2 skill proficiencies, but also proficiency in 2 languages/tools, plus some equipment, plus a possibly useful feature, it would seem strange for a full player character to lack some form of background. I haven't used it in months, but when I did have...

    D&D General Data from a million DnDBeyond character sheets?

    I don't recommend this because it is possible for some normal characters to reach as high as 24. If it is a character intended for play, it will have a background, race, and class, plus a subclass if level 3+; so if there is no background, then not a valid character. For good data, they need to...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    Btw, after looking a little, it looks like Amazon's rental price up until May 16th (when HAT became available on Paramount+) was ~ $20. May 16th was about 1 1/2 months after theatrical debut. In order for HAT to have broken even prior to Paramount+, it would have needed ($107 million divided by...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    Looking at context, that is 1.5x the known costs together. Known costs together are ~ $150 million in production, ~ $60 million in Paramount marketing, for a total of ~ $210 million. Times 1.5 equals ~ $315 million. ~ $315 million minus ~ $208 million (the final box office) equals ~ $107...

    Level Up (A5E) Missing Chapter 9: Exploration

    Exploration is in Trials and Treasures. https://a5e.tools/rules/trials-and-treasures There must have been a decision early on to move it, or a typo in the Adventurer's Guide.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    I am not saying they did, I am simply considering the cost if they did, and how that would impact the needed earnings. 1 - The typical average, accounting for what we know, is around 50%, as quoted by members of the industry itself. But, let's say it is wrong in this case. What amount is...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    I got the number from this comment: https://www.enworld.org/threads/d-d-movie-hit-or-flop.696168/post-9043146 In which it was mentioned as premium VOD, so not technically streaming, but functionally the same. I recall the record aspect being from a source linked via another comment, but I...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    Another consideration: The Mario movie set a record for streaming with ~ $75 million. (it is probably higher now) Since HAT would need to earn more than 1 1/3 times that to break even, thus setting a new record, if it had, I don't think Paramount or Hasbro would be remaining quiet about it.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    Yeah, I was being generous to HAT's earnings. Since we don't know for sure that the breakdown is ~50% here (at least I don't recall any comments on the value beyond speculation), I figured I would lean more toward the minimum number of streaming sessions needed to break even. That way, we...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    I have been following this discussion, and I think there is a little more useful data for extrapolating now: Production cost ~ $150 million Marketing ~ $60 million So total cost ~$210 million Box office gross ~ $208 million Split about 50% for estimation, ~ $104 million Current Amazon rental...
