    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    Wait, are you talking about the Gale Force 9 cards or the older ones by TSR for 1E/2E? There's quite a bit of difference.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    5E could use a "lite" version that is just one book - and not be a starter set. It has been done before.

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

    Nah, hp damage is trivial. Hit 'em where it hurts with changes or restrictions that aren't easily undone - and more interesting.

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

    Magic should never be a replacement for a good ol' blaster at your side. Meaning, it should give the skill-less some ability, but an expert in the skill should run rings about someone who is using magic. Things like a fly spell lets you get around airborne, but you'll never fly as good as a...

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    The reverse is also true. WotC, Marvel & Disney can pump as much money into marketing, books and whatnot as they want, but they aren't important to me. There is no reason to support them if they don't produce what I want. And I'm not falling for the "if you don't buy what they're peddling...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing and ability score drain?

    `Zactly. But I would also question why you are playing a wizard with that low of an Int, especially if that was - or wasn't - your highest ability score.

    D&D General Need Nightime Creature concept.

    Dark Creepers? AKA, "Darklings" from Volo's/Monsters of the Multiverse?

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

    Monster Manual I Expanded is 99% "advanced" or variant monsters. The II and III have a few new creatures (more as the series goes along), but most of the entries are "expanded" variants of the MM, Mord & Volo monsters.

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing and ability score drain?

    Nah, it's in place for a good reason. I'd personally set it higher at 15. As to the original poster's dilemma, as a DM I'd probably say you couldn't pick up new levels until you met the minimum again. I'd also be contemplating whether you'd lose access to certain class abilities until you...

    You might want to check out DriveThruCards.com - they may have something there. If nothing else, the Strange Aeon card maker software should have community content templates for what you are looking for.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    I have the 1991 & 1992 factory set. I think there was one more - or at least a partial set. From what i recall they did lose the company money, and the stopped them to focus on printing more Spellfire, which was making them money. I mean, looking at E-bay, you can buy a factory set of 750 of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    I'd certainly be for a Dragonrider / Dragon Pet subclass. But not at the mauling of an existing bit of lore. If they explained that during the 100-year jump the Purple Knights had allied themselves with dragons (purple or otherwise) and had become Dragon Knights of some sort, I would probably...

    Don't forget to throw Jedi in there. They are the "mystic/psychic warriors" that would be akin to Psychic Paladins.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Psion+++++thread

    Clerics don't have an entirely different "Miracle" system, nor do Bards have some sort of "Song" system - they simply have their own unique set of spells (for the most part). At first, I was against doing the same thing with psions - treating their abilities as spells. However, the more I...

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

    Haven't heard of Home Field Advantage, but the 2014 MM + the three MM Expanded I'll take any day over the 2024 MM.
