    D&D 5E (2024) Firearms in the Forgotten Realms (+)

    Way too heavy for a woman. She can't understand role-playing games, so the intricate working of a gunpowder weapon? Forget it!

    D&D 5E (2014) Subclasses or Feat Trees? Pros and Cons.

    Oooohh that's a nice idea! So something like 18, 15, 14, 12, 11, 8? Or plain +5, +4, +2, +1, 0, -1.

    D&D 5E (2024) Dungeon Master's Guide Bastion System Lets You Build A Stronghold

    That because a segment still reference the founder of the game as the leading authority on DMing even though his treatment of the human interactions-part of DMing wasn't is forte, to say the least. They still view the game as a player vs DM thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Subclasses or Feat Trees? Pros and Cons.

    I played a few 5e game where we removed ASI from chargen and at 4th/8th/etc. It went great, I compensated by being generous with magic items and rewards. You could probably do the same by buffing the proficiency bonus to half-level or something.

    I knew it, Conan never had any lasting effect of my fantasy preferences because of communist Jewish magicians! Not because it wasn't that good!

    D&D 5E (2024) Do players really want balance?

    Yeah I miss the old lore/social/exploration features of the 2014 ranger. They were weak and situational that you barely have to consider them in a power budget! You could have made a very combat focused 2024 ranger and tacked on those features and it would not have changed anything in terms of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Does having only critism toward an edition you don't play, don't read, refuse to inform yourself, and hate for profound reasons you cant speak out loud in polite company makes you an edition war criminal? 🤔

    D&D 5E (2024) Dungeon Master's Guide Bastion System Lets You Build A Stronghold

    There's rules for upgrading ships parts in GoS, but they don't include running the ship as a downtime homebase. I think you could extrapolate prices for upgrades to create various rooms on the ship to allows more Downtime activities from XGtE. ie; build a mess room to allow the Carousing or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alchemist artificer house rule - impressions of balance

    This not overpowered, but it does replicate higher level features from other classes/archetypes (druids, transmuters). Furthermore, things like Cloak of the Bat is a 14th level artificer infusion. You'd have to ask what exactly he wants from those abilities. If it's just for looks, I'd just...

    D&D 5E (2024) Enhanced Critical Hits (Dynamic Critical Hits, WIP+)

    If monsters damage were buffed like 4x, and only have attacks when you miss, that would be strangely cinematic! I'm strangely tempted to test the " press the attack" critical hit. Champions would be dangerous...

    D&D 5E (2024) Enhanced Critical Hits (Dynamic Critical Hits, WIP+)

    Even better: repeat the attack against the target until you miss. Now that's a Critical Hit!

    Shadowdark Shadowdark looks so good!

    Id like her to try other environnements with the same oppresive feeling as a dungeon such as a sinous pathways in a sunless primeval forest or deep underwater trenches. And a few more officially released "advanced" classes such as druids, paladin, berserker etc or more spells to make more...

    D&D 5E (2024) The New DM Tools In The New Dungeon Master's Guide

    The important is that you know that the thing you like sucks. And in case it wasn't clear, they'll tell you in every thread, no matter the original subject.

    D&D 5E (2014) Strengthening Interception Fighting Style?

    I go with something close to the monk attack deflection: 1d10+Str or Con+level.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Problem is when the ignored posters are so omnipresent that you can still know exactly when and what they are posting. They are soooooo repetitive and predictable in their pouting (it's not even sensible arguments anymore) that it does not make any difference if they are blocked or not.

    D&D General What music do you use for your games?

    I love more modern music or instrumental rendition of modern songs. My go-to battle song is an accoustic instrumental version of Dance of Death from Iron Maiden. Skillet and 30StM do good fight music too.

    D&D 5E (2024) Do players really want balance?

    This exactly. I often explain to my friends that the job of the DM is to be the villain much like in a WWE wrestling match. The DM is comically villainous to help the players bond together to oppose him. I love taunting them as I drop big-ass damage spells on them, knowing full well that 1) they...
