    D&D 5E Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    I'm more mean that you would have to do a lot of it from scratch Because there will be very limited adventures to copy ideas from and limited monsters and traps within those levels in a theme.

    D&D 5E Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    Indeed. High level play gives Players a lot of choice so it's less planning adventures and more planning NPCs and throwing together a location when the PCs choose to deal with that PC. So you don't make a pyramid dungeon until the party decides to go so the Phyre Pharaoh in the Plane of fire...

    D&D 5E Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    It's really simple High level D&D is .. 1) High level magic spells 2) Low level everything else with 200-300% power 60% of the group don't get a new experience. So they start over with new campaigns once the campaign arc ends

    I think it's like Kryptonians under a Yellow Sun. D&D verse take off the limiters much like Marvel and DC does. Being a demigod or giant blood just let you get your power faster and be less likely to die before you pass the limit. Most level 11+ mundanes are demigods , giant bloods, and...

    D&D 5E Dungeoncraft Interview with Mike Mearls

    There is a rumor that someone adjusted the formula last minute and this wasn't correctly until years later. The base design was to have PCS start with ~20 HP, slowly grow from there, and have PCs and NPCs drop from 4-5 normal hits. They screwed up the monster math. WOTC always screw up the...

    D&D (2024) Do We Really Need Levels 11-20?

    We need levels 11-20. The problem is the community and designers. It took 50 years for the Ranger class to get the ability to turn invisible and back away like the Predator. 50 years for the class whose whole gimmick is "I track down the raiders, leap out the X in ambush, and kill them all"...

    A lot of talk because "Martial" is a combo source. "Martial" is like "Divine" from before 4e. 4e split Divine into Divine and Primal (and Elemental). And Arcane into Arcane and Shadow. Martial really is Focus/Ki Non magical Tech skill Metahuman/Mutant Mental Skill Physical Skill Captain...

    D&D 5E 2024 D&D is 2014 D&D with 4E sprinkled on top

    I stand by the point that there are plenty of unexplored aspects of real life and epic skill, knowledge, and prowess not employed or used by D&D that could be a martial because the average human doesn't know how to fight nor has knowledge outside their occupation and hobby. The idea Idea IDEA...

    That's where D&D's "I hate Complex rules for anything except magic because ruleless magic is even more annoying to DM." shows itself.

    That's what I'm doing for the simple RPG game in writing There are 3 warrior classes It's Fighter Analog gets Bonus Magic Slots based on level and "Constitution".Every unused Magic Slot gives you a Bonus Action Point. The Barbarian Analog has a Magic Blessing or Curse that grants a magical...

    Which didn't make sense since only the fighter could use magic swords, magic armor, high CON, and high STR. Which broke the game when mages and priests got access to magic weapons, good AC, high CON, and accurate weapon attacks Which then begs the question, "how do you make the mages and...

    Part of it was that some monsters required magic items to even damage them so the DM would have to not use a noticeable chunk of the Monster Manual in order to not use magic items. The other aspect that is often forgotten about is that in pre3e, Only Martials could use most magical weapons...

    D&D 5E Dungeoncraft Interview with Mike Mearls

    The 4E mistake was realizing people didn't realize what they'd have to give up in order to get want they wanted so they have to make a decision. It's like that joke of a man's wife or girlfriend asking to eat out, not making a decision on where, then not liking your decision. No matter how many...

    There was a contingency of fans who desired to play D&D with extremely low magic settings. They want to play D&D where the fighter only had a magic sword and the rogue a nagger dagger. That is doable but it requires either the fighter or rogueto be a complex character in order to match up with...
