    Showdowdark Class Design: The Paladin! Live with Kelsey Dionne.

    Paladin will not be a spellcaster. A Barbarian would most likely be modeled upon Conan.

    D&D General D&D Editions: Anybody Else Feel Like They Don't Fit In?

    Lol. Maybe, I need to use something much larger than a Hill Giant for the larger trolls.

    D&D General D&D Editions: Anybody Else Feel Like They Don't Fit In?

    I don't use the D&D troll. Trolls in my game are a variant of Ogre or Hill Giant and some of whom may turn to stone in sunlight.

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    So, Sam and Frodo were not heroic, because they had to find water in a stream at the edge of Mordor, Sam went mostly without water to ensure they made the journey to the Mountain, and Sam and Frodo kept going sure their trip was one way due to the hardship and wondering if they would be...

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    Getting bags of holding or portable holes depends on the DM. It will not happen in any game I run and I have not seen them available at any table- where I have played.

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    it never fit the fantasy I watched/read and I also `didn't like that it counted as a meal. Now, it is worse, imo, as it nourishes for one whole day. It is just one of many spells that I remove.

    D&D 5E (2014) MM 5.24 or the MM 5e (w/ MM Expanded, Bloodied & Bruised, Home-Field Advantage) ?

    You are not the only one. I typically find myself going to monsters from Tolkein, mythology, and Legends, and a few inspired from early pulp authors. Going back to when I started DMing with 1e, I might have used a Beholder once and I don't think I have ever used piercers, cloakers, rust...

    D&D 5E (2014) MM 5.24 or the MM 5e (w/ MM Expanded, Bloodied & Bruised, Home-Field Advantage) ?

    I was inquiring as I did, because the new Monster Manual is supposed to have variants for various monsters and reintroduce the Bloodied Condition. Bloodied and Bruised introduces Bloodied for 2014 MM monsters and the Monster Manual Expanded includes variants for the MM 2014 monsters. I threw in...

    D&D 5E (2014) MM 5.24 or the MM 5e (w/ MM Expanded, Bloodied & Bruised, Home-Field Advantage) ?

    Which do you prefer, the Monster Manual 5.24 alone or the 2014 Monster Manual with the Monster Manual Expanded, Bloodied & Bruised, and Home-Field Advantage (or Legendary Bestiary: Lair Actions for Low Level Monsters)?

    D&D 5E (2014) For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    Does anyone know why diseases were dropped from the 5.24 edition (looking at the Paladin and Monk losing immunity which is good, but I would be for Resistance if disease were a thing)? Is there any discussion on diseases in the DMG?

    D&D 5E (2014) For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    Watching Treant Monk's videos on the 2024 DMG. If I run 5e, there are some nice general rules and changes/clarifications in the 2024 PHB that I would bring in to 2014. There are also some nice changes to some of the the classes themselves that I would use. At the same time, there are some...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Monster Manual 2025 compatible with 2014 Characters?

    Other than new monsters, what new does the 2025 Monster Manual have to offer of interest if I already have the third party 5.0 supplements Bloodies & Bruised, Home-Field Advantage: A Compendium of Lair Actions, Legendary Actions for Low Level Monsters, Go For the Eyes!, and Monster Weaknesses?

    Although, I don't currently run 3e, I could provide many of the house rules used . However, since my my laptop crashed a few weeks ago and my Chromebook will not read LibreOffice files, I can't access my full list of house rules.* What I do have, I was able to put together via an outline and...
