So the 2014 PHB says: and the 2024 PHB says: So I have no problem envisioning a web anchored between two or more solid points, but what does it mean for a web to be layered over a flat surface? I can't picture it. And if it is so layered, how does it keep from collapsing? It is just a 20...

Bard A bard is a jack-of-all-trades who knows a little about a lot and a lot about a little, and who is pretty good at everything, but usually not the best at anything—save for song! Bards practice arcane magic they manifest through music, both through their voices and by playing instruments...

So a couple of contextual things that need clarifying, reiterating for the class descriptions to make sense. The setting's main location is a Republic. This is where campaigns (for the foreseeable future) begin and where a replacement character might be from. Starting characters come from the...

I think you misunderstood me. I am keeping any material component that doesn’t cost money. Components that don’t are replaced with a focus and I added a focus to some spells that were previously just V, S (and now some spells require a material component AND a focus). I have started just...

Anyone interested in my sharing the class descriptions/in-setting context for classes? I’d love to hear what people think and if I am missing anything that might be important.

Snarf is a friggin' tease.

I haven't, but a spell that does what you describe is not a bad idea.

So here is the conundrum I am working on right now. I don't want to have to literally rewrite every single 5E D&D spell, however, every single spell is changed if only because I removed all material components that aren't the kind you have to pay for (so the vast majority) and replaced them...

My version of this story was in a 3E game where a PC was paralyzed near the end of a session during a big battle with one of the campaign’s main villains. He was paralyzed for the entire next (6 hour) session and then finally was released early in the session after. I think that whole battle...

For me the questions for this and several other spells are, how do people rule what I see as vague, is the spell functioning how I think it should, and is it worth revising?

TFW a poster you are not a huge fan of and have had on block before rips into another poster you’ve considered blocking before for just the sort of behavior they got called out on. I can’t “like” it but I really do enjoy it. 😂

The version I created Find Traps 2nd-level divination Casting Time: Action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes Classes: cleric (jurto, myraxus) You sense the presence of any trap within range that is within line of sight. A trap, for the purpose of this...

Make it a d8 and add 7. Verbose 8. Amorous The trap of #7 is once it gets talking you can never get away. Be sure to mention the possibility of #8 during Session #0 and remember your safety tools!

I am going with a version that does tell you were a trap is but not what it is or what it does. But it also tells you the location in a general sense, "on the door" or "a portion of the left wall past the arch," "the steps." That seems like more fun and still gives a rogue something to do and...

Something else I am just now realizing about this spell, it is not an ongoing detection type spell. The duration is "instantaneous." Thus, you need to already have a pretty good idea there might be a trap around and in what direction to look when you cast it. I've been rewriting a bunch of...

Except they shouldn't be called "sandwiches." Like in Greyhawk they might be called a "Sterich." You know, because it has an Earl. ;)

So I was reading Find Traps. Both the 2014 and the 2024 version have similar descriptions of what the spell does, but do you find them as vague as I do? 2024: "This spell reveals that a trap is present but not its location. You do learn the general nature of the danger posed by a trap you...

So finishing up the spreadsheet is taking a lot longer than expected. Adding a row regarding where to find spells has morphed into me rereading everyone of these spells and deciding if they need to be tweaked for my rules/flavor or if I can simply direct a player to the PHB14. Spells from other...

I watched it as a kid, was already playing D&D and while I enjoyed it and stole ideas for my games, I also was very critical of the ways it was not like D&D. I have never rewatched it, save for the occasional clip I stumble upon.

because you are more than 60 feet away, duh! :P
