    D&D 5E (2024) One thing that Rangers need in 1D&D if they will keep spellcasting for rangers.

    I was was fully expecting this request to be to be a variation of paladin smites that do a selection of elemental damage, and work on ranged weapons. Though I will admit, it is quite a pain to juggle components when you are using two weapon fighting, I find that "stealth casting" is just too...

    Explain Twitch/live-streaming culture to me

    I do occasionally watch the Games Done Quick stream. The appeal of watching someone else play a videogame is akin to watching someone else play sports (good or bad, it's a spectacle) , or sometimes even akin to watching Bob Ross paint a happy little tree (the "zen" feeling of seeing something be...

    D&D General The DM Shortage

    Putting aside the general anxiety that a new DM might face, the books aren't making it easy for them. The rules for creating monsters are a bit obtuse, and don't really give a fair try for measuring non-DPR contributions to combat. Encounter building is likewise nebulous. Most of the...

    The Mourning After (Horror) (IC)

    4th of Zarantyr, 998 YK. Dawn. Eyrna Niadh's house, Northshore, Metrol, Cyre The group would wake. Over breakfast the plans would be discussed. Bowls of ragout were set out, with a pinch of Presto (House House Ghallanda's Prestidigitation spice) to make it more palatable. "The Bridge of the...

    D&D General How you think CR should work

    CR as a singular number can't work. But there is no need to account for every variable possible, because that's impractical if not impossible, and most importantly not useful. CR should function as: An indicator of DPR. And an indicator of resilience. They already calculate for this, so...

    D&D 5E (2014) Companion thread to 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part XIV: Wizard)

    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock brainstorm

    Eldritch Blast is (mostly) deleted. In it's stead, every subclass gets their own signature blast with much more flavor and potential synergies, and the old invocations that used to boost Eldritch Blast now work on those.

    D&D 5E (2014) Companion thread to 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part XIV: Wizard)

    That's an understatement. I have to type up a 10 page rant on the wizard design principles and why the 8 schools of magic subclasses being in the PHB were a sin against the game. Sometime when the Mage D&D1 packet comes out. Imo, the worst part of the 8 schools in the PHB (other than the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Yuan-Ti PCs?

    If you have Monsters of the Multiverse, the Yuan-ti are significantly less powerful, due to the monsters using more spell attacks instead of spells that require a saving throw.

    (IC) We be Jammin' (5e PBP)

    "AyE, CaPItAiN!" Glau's voice burbled like boiling water. The plasmoid ran southward, picking up the Capitan as their spikes revert into a softer green gelatinous form, and then continued on at full speed toward the ship. That will put as both at W-20, if I counted right. Also ending rage due...
