Not sure what you mean by that, why wouldn't we play 5e? It's not like 5e is some simplistic game without any parameters to optimize

There have been so many replies already so maybe this is clear already, but just in case there's still any confusion my recommendation is go whip up a quick dummy character on DnD Beyond and check it out. Understanding the actual calculations is so much more difficult than just letting the...

Exactly what I was wondering in terms of comparisons to the Radiant Citadel. I need to check this new book out!

Meaning they were happy that the spells would be unbanned and allowed at their tables now? These nerfs are a huge buff to Optimizers because now DMs might actually allow CME to be used

No one said there can't be dragons there. I don't know why you keep pretending like I said that.

Yeah I guess that's the entire logic right there. Purely based on which author was hired to write the new adventure and nothing to do with Godsbreath making sense as a dragon adventure. They picked a good author to return (at least based on their Written In Blood adventure) so that's as good a...

The ethical concerns are definitely legit, I'm not dismissing those at all. I still don't think it's realistic though for anyone to think they'll "Never" buy AI enhanced products at any point in the future unless they're planning to become a hermit off the grid The sad reality is that...

I can't wait to hear more about this one, I'm really surprised to hear that Godsbreath is the region chosen for a dragon-based adventure. The obvious choices would've been Yeonido, Dayawlongon, Akharin Sangar, Yongjing, or Umizu. I don't see how Godsbreath ties to dragons whatsoever, so this...

Why? They don't owe us any explanation. They put out a survey, feel free to respond if you want your opinion to be collected, or ignore it if you don't care. It should be self-explanatory that an online survey of far less than 1% of the player base is not intended to survey the entire player base

I voted Yes because AI DMs are going to be huge in the future, whether WotC utilizes them or not. They already exist now and are improving quickly. That's more of a replacement of the video gaming experience though, less so for the table top experience People voting No Never are delusional...

Yeah I love Stephen Glicker but he's basically just a conspiracy theorist who actually does have some great insights occasionally, and a decent chance of being correct once in a while.

Playtest responders are definitely a tiny sliver of a minority of DnD players. In my experience, the majority of DnD players don't even know what Wizards of the Coast is, much less keep up with daily news about the game. The purpose of the surveys wasn't to make game design decisions based on...

MANY people reported this spell being completely bonkers, and needing to be nerfed, including prominent Youtubers. It "made it through playtesting" because WotC knew it was busted and didn't see a need to change it

Do you find that your players ever use this? I like this idea alot but I'm not sure if anyone would ever bother to use it

Yeah that really is a problem, and similar restrictive wording was removed from Command. Retaining those restrictions from 2014 as "unwritten common sense" seems like an easy homebrew change to better balance these spells in 5.5e

"How many targets can you hit with an AOE spell" is a completely different question from "how many attacks can you do". Conjure Volley isn't even a single attack roll, it's a saving throw. Also Action Surge doesn't let you do Conjure Volley twice since it is a magic action. There is so much...

My son played basically that same character in a campaign where the DM had a homebrew rule that all cantrips were bonus actions (so what you wrote was achievable without metamagic). It wasn't annoying at all, his turns took like 30 seconds - roll a big handful of d20's, count up the...

Depends on the source of the rumor. Are they trustworthy? Are they someone I want to gain favor with? How funny is the NPC's accent? I'm not doing anything because of some random tavern rumor no matter how powerful the item supposedly is Now if some random NPC with a funny voice wants me to...

Ok maybe I'm just missing the sarcasm or something. Considering the large amount of incorrect other statements they have made about how Action Surge works, I'm not sure it was hyperbole, but hell if I know what's going on

My new homebrew rules related to 2024 edition: Conjure Minor Elementals scales as +1d6 damage per level instead of +2d8 Hunter's Mark can be moved for free when your target dies Divine Intervention does not change the casting time Spirit Guardians (and similar spells) can only deal damage once...
