The take away from these types of threads (and they happen a lot) is that people treat "magical" as a pejorative when used to describe a character, and the power of perpetual pedantry is why we can't have powerful martials.

It's been such a long time since I used the books directly, I had forgotten they dedicated an entire line to that, instead having be a single cell, like it is on D&D Beyond.

Now that I find hard to believe, you have never looked up a spell, only to have a different spell on the same or opposite page catch your eye?

That's how 4e handled it!

Solved is a strong word for that, considering that approach runs afoul of the problem directly below that.

This is an inherent problem with the medium of physical books. (And I know people are going to hate that I said that) If you remove the class list from the spell section of the book, and you are reading a spell: Then you have to flip to 9+ different lists scattered across an entire chapter...

The most shocking part of this is that they are letting the book on D&D Beyond before the book even exists. I know the Dungeon Dudes have a track record, but you would think WotC/D&D Beyond would have someone read the book before giving it a spot on the servers.

Well I'm late to the party this time. Anyway there is a growing resentment towards fantasy using genetic based magic systems, which the Sorcerer falls under, because it has "Bloodline Magic." Given that the Warlock can easily handle all of the magical origins via different means (and arguably...

I have a hat with "Hat +1" stitched into it that I wear all the time.

I've had a Brutish Warrior in nearly every game system I've played that allowed for it (including video games). The appeal of aggressively smashing my problems while my enemies break themselves trying to stop me, just speaks to me on a primal level.

I have to admit, the D&D wizard spellbook is one of the main reasons I like the class. Not because it's powerful, but because it creates an inherent reason why a wizard would go around adventuring, if for no other reason than "gotta catch 'em all". Furthermore, it behooves wizards to gather in...

For a bit of perspective, the first drawing program was made in 1963, and the first fully digitally painted movie was The Rescuers Down Under from 1990. So digital art is older than D&D, and digital art as a prominent thing is older than MTG. Edit: for clarity~

Ok, now that makes it look better, as it's intended to be fuzzy because it's far away.

I like the reflection of the bazaar on the throat, but I don't like how fuzzy it is: It's got that Soap Opera feel that makes me think I need to go back to the optometrist.

Wizards confirmed for having proficiency with all simple weapons. I actually forgot they had changed that, it really flew under the radar with all the other changes they made in UA.

It's not that much of a stretch, more like subtext really. https://www.eurogamer.net/baldurs-gate-3-boss-blasts-publisher-greed-behind-layoffs

Here is my oddball pick for this, because I know someone else will post basically every channel I watch otherwise. William SRD is a channel I have relatively recently discovered, he mostly reviews video games based upon TTRPG properties, which include informative historical dives into the...

I ended up romancing Gale by accident, which is a common thing apparently. I intentionally went after Shadow Heart and then Lae'zel in separate playthroughs. I think I need to do another playthrough soonish.

I really think that the development of social mechanics is being held back by stigmas and an insistence against the concept based upon the idea that adept communication skills are an inherent property of all humans (instead of a learned behavior) and a general resistance to any kind of...

But but more importantly, CR is internally calculated using a mathmatical formula that has never been published. It is going to be presumably published in the upcoming revision, alongside an overhaul of all the MM monsters. It primarily takes into account actions to kill a target, while...
