    D&D (2024) Emanation damage point and linked exploits:

    The Druid cast Conjure woodland being, then wild shape into a turkey, then the rest of the party grab the turkey and pass it over and over running into the dungeon! The goal is to trigger the spell damage the more often possible. Ok i make it funny, but you better use an owl with fly by attack...

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    Unfortunately that is the concern of the OP : A mob can shoot down a dragon too easily. A mob of 100 guards shooting with crossbow can do 25d8+25 point of damage per round to an adult red dragon.

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    I think it is opening a pandora box. People are already complaining about encounter balance, and sometime combat turn being too long. If we add rules to manage an additional warband under the control of the party it will add more imbalance and more time to combat.

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    I don’t care about 100 guards vs 1 dragon. The game is not meant for that. Adding rules to comfort war game simulation balance is an unnecessary burden.

    D&D General It's Magic, You Know

    Simply 5ed magic system, which is not a pure vancian (memorize, fire, forget) system.

    Payn's Ponderings; System mastery and the concept of fair fight.

    Base on my DnD experience, I never look at system mastery. Just play decent build, which I don’t call mastery play. For fair fight, I guess to odds are 99:1 for the PCs. Not really a fair fight. Sometime a kind of thrill, but most of the time fights are not fair at all. Fair fight is a myth...

    D&D (2024) Multiclassing as feats:

    The key will be to create feats that don’t undermine the other ones. Otherwise everybody will simply take multi class feats.

    Black Flag Making the Commoner cool

    I agree, I was mocking about the coolness of adding special trait to all monster, just to have a special trait… Crowd effect or overwhelming numerous opponents is a cool effect and should be used more often. But to make it the special attack of the “commoner” is a kind of amusing.

    Worlds of Design: How Lethal is Your Magic?

    Commoners, basic soldier, basic criminal see magic with a mix of fear and doubt. Usually they never have seen magic at work. Those who know about magic are professionals and elites of the society. And for lethality I always have to remind myself that nobody know the level of an npc or monster...

    OSR Old school wizards, how do you play level 1?

    I had been in the simulationist path for a long time, and I know the thrill of creating a fantasy world that make sense. But for me at the end the “world sense” collapse every time we play in it enough. So it is now game first. And in that way I give the advice to start at higher level even if...

    OSR Old school wizards, how do you play level 1?

    I think DnD should not try to represent or simulate anything. Experience point, leveling, starting level, are gaming tools, their link with reality is very thin.

    OSR Old school wizards, how do you play level 1?

    In A DnD starting at level 1 is a DM choice. It induce a sense of danger, frailty, and the satisfaction of progression and survival. It’s about gaming experience. There is no logic there. If those don’t appeal players nor the Dm, start at higher level, like Gygax who start his personal game at...
