    D&D 5E Blind Characters in 5e

    Ye, of course, if the flaw is as bad as Blindness. Every round every player should always be asking themselves how they can gain Inspiration this round or how thy can spend or give away the Inspiration they already have. Five times a session per party is a low number. Five times in five years is...

    Blog (A5E) Let’s Look At The Level Up Character Sheet

    I'm not saying it should be a separate skill. I'm saying that if it is a separate skill than these are examples of some of the times I would link it to Strength.

    Blog (A5E) Let’s Look At The Level Up Character Sheet

    Trapeze catchers use Strength based Acrobatic checks. So do climbers holding their buddy with one hand to stop him from falling.

    D&D 5E Guide to cruddy spells (v1.01)

    I thought that the point of Skill Empowerment being 5th level and requireing Concentration was to balance the Rogue vs the casters by not devaluing the Rogues Expertise.

    D&D 5E Blind Characters in 5e

    But being Blind can be a Flaw. When your Flaw causes you a problem your DM should give you Inspiration. Next round you spend that Inspiration to cancel your Disadvantage. Your Flaw is still causing you a problem because if you were not blind you would now have Advantage. Your DM should grant you...

    D&D 5E The Call is Out: D&D SciFi Should Be The Next Campaign Setting / Expansion

    Goggles over eyes = advantage on saves vs blindness. Goggles on forehead = advantage on Persuasion checks (1/long rest) because you're just so cool.

    D&D 5E In a (hypothetical) Tales from the Yawning Portal 2, what are the adventures you would want updated for 5E?

    L1-L3 (Secret of Bone Hill, Assassin's Knot, and Deep Dwarven Delve (scarce)) would be nice, but might be better still from Goodman.

    D&D 5E Next (3rd book of the year) endless speculation thread

    How about a Spelljammer/Planescape book for 2022 that would include a few pages each on a bunch of different planes and planets, similar to how the Ravenloft book will include a bunch of different Domains?

    D&D 5E D&D doesn't need bards

    No. DND doesn't need Clerics, they're all really just Warlocks anyway.

    Blog (A5E) Level Up: Spending Gold (At Higher Levels)

    Is it really your cook who gets you that extra hit die and not the servants who carry, unpack, and set up your soft mattress, down pillows, extra blankets, and mosquito netting? There must be a reason why so many real world travellers had vast amounts of gear.

    D&D 5E Rules Question - The interaction between Str (Athletics) checks, movement and actions. Does Swimming take an Action?

    Why do you assume that you don't need a check to climb a ladder? I am not aware of any 5e rule explicitly saying that you do not and I not only know people who have fallen off of ladders I've even done so myself. I'd call it a DC 5 Athletics check, with advantage if both your hands are free, and...

    D&D 1E Tell me about your AD&D 1E house rules

    My AD&D 1st ed house rules (from back in the day) 1) Never, ever, ever use the official AD&D rules for unarmed combat. Other characters just hit for damage (like Monks). IIRC I had them flip a coin, heads was 1 hp damage & tails was 0 hp damage, then add STR bonus. 2) You're not dead at O HP...

    D&D 5E House rule to force spellcasters with daily spell slots to take short rests

    Have you considered simply reminding everyone (not Warforged) that they still need to eat and if they're going to take most of an hour out of their day to cook and eat a nice hot meal than they might as well take a full hour and call it a short rest. Something like this - sleep (or trance)...

    D&D 5E Does the Variant Human need a boost now after Tasha's changes

    But now that a custom race can start with a feat and with Darkvision they seem to be better than Vhuman for anyone with a class that only needs one 16.

    Blog (A5E) Level Up: Origins List

    Settler implies the region was unsettled. That can imply that the organizations that the people who lived here already don't count, because they don't count. For instance did Europeans "settle" New England, or did Europeans "conquer" New England?

    Blog (A5E) Level Up: Origins List

    Can we find a word without so much racist imperialist subtext? The past was very bad and in a game that is supposed to be fun for all it would be nice to find a word without so much baggage.

    Blog (A5E) Level Up: Origins List

    Can "Settler" be renamed? In the past that word has been used to refer to the first white people in an area, ignoring the other people who were already there and were pushed aside or killed.
