    D&D 5E (2024) How's the adoption of the new Goliath types going?

    Even though Monsters of the Multiverse where the Genasi last appeared is more 2024 compatible than other books, I think the Genasi are going to need more of a reformatting. They'd probably be written as just 1 species with lineage options, like Elves, Gnomes, Tieflings and Goliaths have been...

    D&D 5E (2024) How's the adoption of the new Goliath types going?

    I wish they tried to bring back the Elan, they sort of have a picture of an Elan in the 2024 PHB as the Psi Warrior looks a lot like an Elan from 3.5e. Though bringing back the Elan they might need to work more on why they're Aberrations for having a psionic physiology. For plants, they tried...

    D&D 5E (2024) How's the adoption of the new Goliath types going?

    We don't have playable Illithid or Beholders lite species yet. Sure the Gith are related to Illithids, but I think they'd be more embraced because of Lae'zel (or Dak'kon for those older players).

    D&D 5E (2024) How's the adoption of the new Goliath types going?

    It hasn't been a year yet for the 2024 PHB, but it's been more than a year since they've been included in the playtests and almost a year since we've seen some art for them from the PHB previews? We've definitely had the classic Stone Goliaths as the vision of what Goliaths were since 3.5e, but...

    D&D 5E (2024) Should skills for a campaign based on the 1800s be different from standard D&D

    I've had problems with History as a skill since it seems in many cases to cover a wide variety of things beyond just "history". I think a lot of things about politics, law, culture and society are just thrown under the umbrella of History.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should skills for a campaign based on the 1800s be different from standard D&D

    So assuming it's a campaign setting that's roughly in the 1800s for technology and other things, and still a highly magical world. Especially a Steampunk with magitech type setting, but also other fiction that generally takes place in that century like Gothic Victorian Horror and Westerns...

    Planescape Best Planescape Book across editions and 3rd party publishers?

    The 5e DMG covers about the same on many planes as the Original Boxed Set did, so I can understand why they didn't have that in the 5e boxed set. It would be redundant, especially with the 2024 DMG being on the way when they wrote those books, which included things like mentioning Domains of...

    D&D Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple Coming to PAX East

    It looks like you can fit an Air Elemental into that, not to mentioning there's a ring of lightning at the rear. It does not look like something that contains Helium or Hydrogen.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer to Be Priced at $29.99

    I noticed in the preview pages for the Artillerist they now added "Martial Ranged Weapon" to the things that can become an Arcane Firearm. Finally an Artillerist can use a Firearm (or a Bow or Crossbow) as an Arcane Firearm...

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Horror Subclasses Unearthed Arcana

    Copyright is shorter in Canada as there's Popeye's Supplements which outright uses the Popeye character to sell supplements, proteins, fitness nutrition stuff and other things like that, which has existed since 1989. While I've heard of the copyright has not yet expired in the US. For WotC I...

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Horror Subclasses Unearthed Arcana

    I wished they tried covering every class with a spooky subclass, what other spooky subclasses should there be? Barbarian, well the Path of the Beast might be since it's sort of Werewolf themed Druid, I'd think Circle of Spores could be the spooky Druid, but there's room for other types of...

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Horror Subclasses Unearthed Arcana

    My thoughts on this: It's really questionable why there isn't the Necromancy Wizard in this article, they must be saving it for something else Reanimator Artificer The Reanimator does fit in with the concept of a Frankenstein inspired Artificer that I was constantly trying to push, they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Creative uses of Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft and Elementalism?

    Could Druidcraft cause something to decompose quickly? Like make waste go away? What about Elementalism and getting rid of some body hair painlessly?

    D&D 5E (2024) Creative uses of Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft and Elementalism?

    Might be a reason why a lot of Tieflings become Bards.

    D&D 5E (2024) Creative uses of Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft and Elementalism?

    I never saw taking an action to cast being a problem for most of them, as I don't see them being used in combat at all. On the other hand it wouldn't be unbalancing if they could cast those spells as bonus actions. I guess another way to see there use as utility spells, would be if each party...

    D&D 5E (2024) Creative uses of Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft and Elementalism?

    Of the utility Cantrips, Prestidigitation seems to be the most versatile to use in a lot of situations (cleaning, making chores simpler, showing off), but what of the others like Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft and Elementalism which seem to be a lot more limited in their capabilities? I'm thinking in...

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

    It has a nerf for Conjure Minor Elementals! What everyone was asking for! Also a bunch of other Conjure spells were nerfed.

    D&D General An Atlantean Empire who are it's people and what are their capabilities?

    One thing that ways in my mind is how both Marvel and DC have depicted Atlantis in regards to Aquaman or Namor. The Atlanteans have a strange combination of advanced almost spaceship like submarines and war machines pulled by giant seahorse to sea monsters. I never felt that the Apparatus of...

    D&D General An Atlantean Empire who are it's people and what are their capabilities?

    One thing I view about this Empire is that Koalinth are as prominent as Merfolk and Sea Elves at least, despite them being traditionally a footnote in the Hobgoblin entry across editions. I don't see the Empire Koalinths being too much into Maglubyiet as a religion and more into the Empire's...

    D&D General An Atlantean Empire who are it's people and what are their capabilities?

    One of my ideas is that the Empire is a multi-species Empire, I do see some species like Locathah being more suited to living deeper than Sea Elves or Merfolk, and possibly Koalinths being a lot of the soldiers of the Empire given how militaristic their surface brethen Hobgoblins happen to be...
