I would change the skills to Investigation and Stealth. Gardeners are adept at eavesdropping on conversations from outside open windows.

In my Street Urchin homebrew background, I gave them a Gaming Set for Tool Proficiency. I can see them doing some three-card monte to scam people out of their money so they can buy something to eat.

If you guys are referring to Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, Chris Perkins is not the Project Lead, Art Director, or listed as any of the Writers. His sole credit, as far as I can tell, is in the Rules Development section. I’m not sure if that qualifies as “being the instigator of the...

I know I'm late to the party, but the way I see it: Bard = Spells + Bardic Inspiration Cleric = Spells + Channel Divinity Druid = Spells + Wild Shape Sorcerer = Spells + Metamagic Warlock = Spells + Pact Magic + Invocations Wizard = Spells + . . . more Spells So I voted Wizard as the simplest...

Does anyone know if there is somewhere to find a list of errata for those of us who only own the physical book (not the DDB version)?

Same for Moon Druids whose attacks used to become "magical" at level 6. Now they have the choice between doing normal or Radiant damage.

I have a Champion Fighter that I converted from UA7 to 2024, but I haven't had the chance to play him yet. Basically, when both my daughter's friends come over, we play the main campaign with the three of them as PCs and me as the DM. If only one of her friends comes over, we play one of the...

Phew, I think I instinctively followed these guidelines to a tee (even the recommendation to not include Martial weapons or armor). Except for Step 1, where things got a little uncertain for me. I wound up homebrewing 11 new backgrounds (based on some of the ones they left out from 2014) and...

I was wondering this myself. I really like the concept of Savage Attacker, but everyone says it's trash (I don't think it's that bad and my daughter has used it effectively in our old campaign). How would people change it to make it a more respectable pick?

Level Drain (or any other effect that decreases an ability score) because it's a PITA to have to recalculate all your stats because your modifier changed. It's one thing to do it at level up because those are permanent changes, not temporary adjustments.

Dragons of Stormwreck Isle?

I have to admit, when creating new characters in 2024 I really struggle with Species. Previously, I would decide which Class I wanted to play, then chose the Race that gave me complimentary ASIs, and then picked a Background that bridged the gap. Now, I decide which Class I want to play, then...

Thinking about this point, I'm not sure what would be a good Mastery for the Blowgun. Cleave - Doesn't make sense since the needles tend to stick in the target. Unless you somehow managed to blow the needle hard enough to go through the target into the person behind them. Graze - I suppose...

According to the 2014 Monster Manual, Stone Giants are "Neutral." Maybe the face of the group can attempt to plead with the Stone Giants to stop the Hill Giants and Ogres from killing them. Or at least, maybe the face can keep everyone occupied and distracted long enough for the Wizard to...

Don't forget cantrips! Sorcerers get the most of any class (6), plus Magic Initiate can give 2 more, and Species might give more (Rock Gnomes get 2). Wizards, of course, are a whole other issue.

disregard

I think people are misreading the term Range on page 214. It doesn't say "Range Weapon," it says "Range weapon" (note the lowercase "w"). This means a weapon with the "Range" property. If the "Range" property also counted as a "Ranged Weapon," I would be able to Sneak Attack with a Greataxe...

Oh good, it was just me misreading the PHB. Or failing to properly read the PHB, rather. I knew there was something obvious I was missing.

Help me wrap my head around something. As far as I can tell, the only class that can cast Rituals by default is the Wizard with their Ritual Adept ability. But it specifically says they can cast Ritual spells "if . . . the spell is in your spellbook." The sidebar for copying spells into your...
