    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    Their ignorance to custom backgrounds being a possibility is indeed a curse upon them, but it is a curse they deserve.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    The rules changed but its such a minute change and requires such little effort to accomplish a custom background that IMO it really isn't worth complaining about. There are more interesting problems 2024 has than this.

    D&D 5E (2014) Softening Concentration

    Sustain from PF2E is pretty good. Paying a cost to upkeep the spell.

    D&D 5E (2014) was the giant book any good?

    I think it is a great book. The lore made me like giants for the first time ever. The bosses are cinematic in idea, not so much in raw design, but the ideas are def there. The magical items, subclass, and what not are all good too. I recc.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    So as I'm thinking about the Exorcist, which is the name I'm giving my next arcane half-gish, I'm exploring different mechanics and narrative themes. One thing I keep coming to is how the 2024 Eldritch Knight can replace attacks with spells. I think this is fine for the Fighter, who has multiple...

    You can choosecany 2014 background, pick any origin feat, and allocate stat points freely. That is in the new phb. You can even choose "Custom Background."

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Cause Fear still a 1st level spell in 2024?

    I take it as a player for a rizz option too

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    Perkins said in an interview sometime within the couple of months that if he could go back, he'd have made the game with fewer classes in it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Cause Fear still a 1st level spell in 2024?

    Now the spell could be a lot better, and actually good, this I agree with. However, I like it solely for the rizz and aura that comes with casting it. Great NPC spell for flair.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    Exorcists in Asiatic fantasy are arcane gishes that protect people from curses, like supernatual bodyguards and investigators, as they often have to solve mysteries to undo hauntings and curses. Thisis the fluff my next text will draw from.

    Actually, martial esque slightly anime Exorcist sounds perfect

    Dragonlance Reading Soulforge and uh, I have questions

    Describing a girl as a full-figured at 13 is weird but so absurd that it veers into hilarious territory. I could never imagine writing something like that myself. People fascinate me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    If we're being honest, anything that WotC makes becomes the norm. It doesn't matter what a bunch of factions online makes; you think everyone agrees with the definiton of Sorcerer and Warlock? I sure don't. But WotC made it so, and thus it was. If they made a Swordmage that was a Pendragon or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    These are only problems for people unwilling to create something outside old tradition. I for one am bored having to play the same classes thatve always existed 20+ years.

    I literally posted it on the last page Micah, c'mon.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    Agree to disagree, only because I think it highlights the ability to become a legend, not that you start as a hero of a bloodline. I see the work as a recontextualization of the myth that puts it into everyones hands and moves it away from royalty and into the realm of general fantasy heroism...
