Yeah. Or at least, "the benefits of the Invisible condition", rather than the Invisible condition itself.

Not strictly correct. Invisible doesn't prevent you from being "found" with vision; it only means that you cannot be seen. If I stand behind you, I'm invisible to you, but if you turn around you can see (find) me. Standing behind you makes me "hidden" (non-glossary condition), and being hidden...

Yes.

No, the foes cannot see him. Being Invisible is moot because another factor is already preventing him from being seen, so them having See Invisible makes no difference. Now, it might make a difference if he were to sneak off to the left, to get past foe #1 to that hallway over there. If they...

Some nice changes. Goliath's Powerful Build trait was fixed. The Conjure line of spells have had their scaling reduced. Giant Insect HP scaling was fixed. And Hide had its description clarified, with respect to how it gave you the Invisible condition.

That would also make more sense for their merging of Diseased and Poisoned. Sickened can easily convey either state.

The Stealth system in 2024 has come up again recently. I was considering how to build a rule set for it that satisfies the desired requirements without getting overly complicated, and fits easily in the 2024 rules. Then I found this thread, so I'll piggyback here. Building a Stealth System...

I gave it a 3. I like a fair bit of the stuff they did for 2024, but also recognize that there's some very unpleasant stuff coming from the corporate side. I bought the books, but won't buy any secondary products from them (including D&D Beyond). At the very least, I don't mind buying the books...

I suspect @Paul Farquhar was mixing some things up. A Range weapon is a weapon with the Range property. The Range weapon property on page 214 says: A Ranged weapon is a weapon listed under one of the Ranged Weapons categories in the weapons table. Per page 213, the weapons in the table are...

If I were to craft a Thug subclass... Subclass features for Rogue are at levels 3, 9, 13, and 17. 3 to 9 is a big gap, so you need something fundamental there that's going to carry the subclass through most common play levels. Treating all simple weapons as having Finesse achieves the goal of...

Revolutionary Ability Scores: Strength, Intelligence, Charisma Feat: Alert (or a tweaked Musician for speeches rather than music) Skills: Athletics, Stealth (alt: Persuasion) Tool Proficiency: Alchemist's Supplies The people will rise up to overthrow their oppressors — through force if...

Very fun, although I feel a lot of these don't actually qualify to be enspelled items. The enspell options are for crafting armor, weapons, and staffs, but you've got gloves, boots, diadems, t-shirts, flasks, rings, etc — things that would fall under the "wondrous item" category. Not that I'd...

Mostly agree. I do think the crafting rules are fairly generous, but only once you get past the barrier of the skills (and to a certain extent, time) needed. And that skills barrier is definitely troublesome. I put together a party of characters to play around with how the new system worked...

Should point out that it's not merely the cost that matters, but the value, and the duration of that value. When you get hurt, you really, really want that healing potion. But how often do you get hurt? Or rather, how often do you get hurt badly enough that a healing potion becomes important...

Obviously a DT of 10 would be really high for a living creature. For a thick door, though, it seems perfectly reasonable. Using a dagger against a door isn't going to break through it no matter how many times you poke it, but an axe or a maul can manage with a few swings. For the peasant army...

Personally, I would describe it as all based on "arcane energy". Or, in perhaps a very flawed analogy, "water". Divine magic is energy granted by the gods. It has been "purified" — water that's gone through a specialized filter to get rid of impurities, but still water. Makes it good for...

You/they didn't like how backgrounds were structured, or the limitation of only having the pre-genned ones in the PHB? If the latter, there's already a thread with a few dozen homebrewed backgrounds (here).

A little bit sillier. Clumsy Maid Ability Scores: Constitution, Wisdom, Charisma Feat: Lucky Skills: Insight, Animal Handling Tool Proficiency: Weaver's Tools or Cook's Utensils You've always been considered a klutz, never able to do anything right. However your clumsiness has an endearing...

That's closer to what I had for the Maid :) Also, I added the Gardener to my initial post, to consolidate all the ones I came up with. Also added descriptions for them.
