    D&D 5E WotC Shares Theros Table of Contents

    I can't speak for anyone else, but "oath of glory" makes me think this paladin would be the "everyone stop fighting so you can watch me duel this other guy Achilles/Hector style" guy.

    D&D 5E The Multiverse

    I will stick with my idea from a previous thread. At some point, the MtG multiverse was part of the D&D multiverse and broke off. There were some demons (including at least one demon lord), angels, fey, and elementals in the part of the multiverse that broke off. Since archons are big part of...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Shadows of Esteren, The Troubleshooters, Bloodlines & Black Magic, and more

    I was roaming kickstarter last night, and I can't believe I missed Skullcano Island. Thanks for pointing it out.

    D&D 5E Applying Psionic Talent Dice to other classes

    Obviously the best psychic ranger will be the psychic animal companion. Slightly more seriously, the psychic die could determine how many actions the AC could do on its own without being commanded each round (1= move, 2=move and a reaction, 3=move, a reaction, and an action, 4=move, a reaction...

    D&D (2024) Class features with drawbacks

    (off topic, sorry) In 6e, I would prefer races to give advantage on certain skill checks/saves instead of a bonus for racial stats. (back on topic) I would like 6e to have more "opt in" to high risk/high reward abilities options. Maybe frenzy could be a barbarian fighting style (of which...

    D&D 5E Applying Psionic Talent Dice to other classes

    For any sort of secondary caster (eldritch knight, paladin, etc.) I could see replacing set spell slots with a dice mechanism. You roll the die, and you can cast a spell of level equal to or lower than the number you roll (maybe treat cantrips as 1, 1st level spells as 2, etc. for eldritch...

    Unearthed Arcana Revived, Noble Genie and Archivist Revisited in UA

    I like the way they did the patron spells for the warlock. I think they maybe should have gone a little more wealth/slavery for the dao (more mental spells). Speaking of that, maybe it is just me, but genies seem more "cash up front" than we want your soul eventually fiends, we are playing a...

    D&D 5E Design a Goliath sub-race!

    Goliath, Forbidden Mountains (this is the Fomorian-linked subrace, I am open to other names): +1 to Int. (replaces con) Evil Eye (replaces mountains endurance): The goliath magically forces a creature it can see within 60 feet of it to make a Charisma saving throw. The DC for this saving throw...

    D&D 5E Epic Monsters: Karkaddan

    D&D has a long history of "Greater Shedu", "Greater Lamassu" ,etc. so "Greater Unicorn" works too. At least this one isn't LG (nothing against LG, but NG and CG feel short changed in 5e).

    Bahamut takes his name from a fish that does the same thing as the Diskworld turtle in real world mythologies.

    D&D General Alignment in D&D

    But surely their cousin's best friend's sister's boy friend's favorite pizza delivery guy's anecdote about how alignment ruined his life and drove him from playing D&D to drinking Canadian beer must be super important, since they have been using it since Jimmy Carter was President.

    D&D 5E Dragon+ Magazine Issue 31 out now!

    I don't know if every MtG world needs a D&D setting book, but if they made the Trappers Guide to the Beasts of Ikoria that was 80% monster manual (with mutation templates) and 20% setting book, I would be a happy camper.

    D&D General Let's Share Our Alternate Lore

    When a dragon gets itself a nice, big pile of treasure and a full belly, it tends to hibernate. When it wakes up, it may be a different kind of dragon. How or if it changes is (purposely) beyond mortal comprehension, with one exception: don't wake it up early, it will be evil and angry; a...

    D&D General Alignment in D&D

    Back in the days when xp was gold, I figured lawful evil was a bad guy who would keep his/her word if you made a deal with them, neutral evil was a bad guy who would break his/her word when and if it was profitable to do so, and chaotic evil was a bad guy who would break his/her word as soon as...

    D&D General Half Angel Half Demon

    I remember seeing a picture of one (devil looking thing with angel wings), with some kind of balance assassin gimmick. What I can remember of the art makes me think 3e or 3.5 monster manuals, but that is as close as I can come.

    D&D 5E Kara Tur vs Tarkir vs Kamigawa vs Plane of Mountains and Seas vs Ikoria

    Eh, I think if Hasbro wants fantasy role playing games by Asians for Asians, they can partner with and/or buy out some Asian FRP game companies, and let them figure what parts of 5e are culturally transferrable and what new stuff would fit in. Sure that might take a couple of years (and some...

    Unearthed Arcana Why UA Psionics are never going to work in 5e.

    Sword and sorcery fantasy often champions unconventional moralities, but they are moralities none the less. REH's Conan stories are about the hypocrisy of civilization (it would be hard to be more blatant about it than Red Nails). How often does Conan have to deal with a socially respectable...
