    D&D General Do I need an attitude adjustment? (They're gonna nova the BBEG)

    So, the party either crashed the wedding or used the invitation to mostly do a no-show and loot the place instead? Also, they ignored the extra invite? It sounds like the master of the house would have to postpone the ceremony and bring some of the other guests with him to stop that nonsense...

    D&D General How did you pay total for your PHB? How much did you pay for a D&D book?

    I live in Stockholm, Sweden. For Tasha I paid 450 SEK for the book and 50 SEK for shipping from a store in Stockholm. The shipping is comparable to what it would cost me to get to the store and back. 450 SEK is about 53 USD. Mostly I think the local game stores in Sweden tend to stay close to...

    D&D 5E Custom races and tasha’s

    The variant features should not influence feats at all. The custom lineages are entirely up to a discussion with the DM. I would default to "only new races", but I don't remember how clear the phrasing is.

    D&D 5E Psi Warrior and Unarmed Fighting

    It seems similar to Paladins not being able to smite with weapons. Based on that, my guess is that preventing the concept you mentioned and others like it to keep monks being the best monks and fighters mostly using weapons is the point of the rule.

    D&D 5E Ranger Primal Companion Options

    Wow, I had not realised quite how robust the new design is. You probably just demonstrated that future books, DM's Guild and homebrew can easily expand the subclass without messing up balance or really modifying the subclass again. There is clearly room for growth, but getting that growth seems...

    D&D 5E TCoE - Rogue's Steady Aim

    This was explicitly mentioned in one of the D&D Beyond YouTube videos about the UA as one case for using it. about 1:20 into the video. Other thoughts and reasons are also discussed.

    D&D 5E Tasha: Now on D&D Beyond, Roll20, Fantasy Grounds

    My impression based on what else the new sorcerers got is that the spells basically used all the room for first level features, with the remaining features mostly being ribbons. So I would not want to see the feature for all sorcerers in a game where aberrant mind or clockwork soul would show...

    D&D 5E Booming Blade and Green-Flame Blade Nerfed in TCoE

    Both GFB and BB work with warcaster. However, for GFB it only works if the optional damage to a second target is not used.

    D&D 5E D&D Sage Advice 2.6 Update

    There are three cases I can think of where the cantrips are clearly useful: 1. Bladesinger replacing one attack with a cantrip. Not sure how it compares to shocking grasp, but clearly better than just an attack. 2. A rogue who wouldn't use two weapon fighting anyway and who picks up the cantrip...

    Cleric Won't Heal?

    If the cleric can spend actions and spell slots on healing in combat, then the risk of going down is probably not that great to begin with. Maybe a well-placed healing spell can be the difference between going down to 1 hp rather than 0 hp. From my experience, there is no/little need to heal if...

    D&D 5E Assumptions about character creation

    The assumption is that no magic items providing a numeric bonus to attack is needed in order to hit with the attacks. You probably do need magic weapons to overcome resistance and immunity to many attacks. However, a lot of the other items might be alchemy jugs and the like, i.e. fun and maybe...

    D&D General Alternatives to lich or vampire?

    I'm not sure how far you wish to go with that storyline, but it instantly have me some thoughts. Doing whatever it takes to get his house in order... Sounds like he needs a business partner or investor. You know, someone who for a small favour could help out with some trade deals. Keep hold of...

    D&D 5E Artificer Multi-Class?

    I was considering adding a few levels of evoker to an artillerist for a campaign starting at 8th or 9th level. I concluded that the lack of high level spells was not worth it compared to just evoker, and the loss of infusions and other non-spell features was not worth it compared to just...

    D&D 5E Wild Shape, travel & exhaustion

    Given that excess damage carries over, I don't see why everything wouldn't carry over. Exception for restraints that are suddenly too large to restrict or something along those lines.

    D&D 5E Help with Mastercrafting "Short" (i.e. Simple) rules for armor and weapons

    @dnd4vr I tried making a post based on what you seemed to be looking for and asked for. I had very fun, but got carried away with worldbuilding aspects and such as well. In the end, there is no way I can describe it as short. That is why I took the whole original post, hid it behind the spoiler...

    D&D 5E Help with Mastercrafting "Short" (i.e. Simple) rules for armor and weapons

    I agree with the sentiment here. It sounds interesting, but some clarification is needed. To the OP: My first question is, what is masterwork armor and weapons in a worldbuilding sense? In reality I think it is the single work done by a journeyman to prove that they possess the skill to get the...

    D&D 5E Pact of the chain - how did it work out?

    I'm playing a pact of the chain warlock with a pseudodragon in Tomb of Annihilation. As others have said, it's decent for some roleplaying and exploration. However, my character now only keeps it around during rests and for explosion of small and relatively safe areas. There was simply one...

    D&D 5E Yes, I know what RAW says, but, Effects of allowing Sneak Attack on Monk attacks.

    The main "problem" I would expect is that you might suddenly have rogues using melee weapons other than rapiers, shortswords, daggers or other weapons typically associated with swashbuckling, musketeers or similar inspirations for the rogue class. Previous replies have pointed out the possible...

    D&D 5E Kate Welch has left WotC

    I wonder if the "not sure what comes next" part implies that she was fired or that she left because she wanted out of the company. That was my first impression. I hope that it is more of "there are so many opportunities available, I don't know which one to go for first."

    D&D 5E Why do Armblades need Attunement?

    So the Lance can be an armblade while mounted, but stops qualifying and drops off as soon as you dismount?
