    D&D 5E (2024) Treantmonk's Warlock EB DPR video

    Key points: Baseline Eldritch Blast damage goes up a bit in t4 thanks to access to epic boons. Optimized Eldritch Blast damage (meaning a warlock that actually casts damage spells and not just cantrips) goes up significantly in t3, but falls back down in t4. The controversial True Strike...

    D&D 5E (2024) Table of Contents for Dungeon Masters Guide Leaked

    Any idea if they were crammed into the MM or just dropped?

    D&D 5E (2024) Table of Contents for Dungeon Masters Guide Leaked

    I see pages for creating a creature and rules for NPCs, but I still don't know if this book has the robust monster creation rules or not. Every article and video I have found on the book doesn't mention their existence either way.

    D&D General wait what is arcane magic anyway?

    It's basically hacking the planet.

    The Smurftastic Smurf RPG is now on KS.

    I legit thought Brainy Smurf was supposed to be Papa Smurf's magical apprentice.

    D&D General Why the Great Thief Debate Will Always Be With Us

    The problem with the Thief isn't that rules exist for doing things, it's that the mere existence of the Thief as a class causes rules to be applied unevenly, no mater what level of abstraction you are using. The Thief has to justify it's existence by carving out a niche, which means steeling...

    D&D General D&D Mousepads?

    That's not a mousepad. That's a standing poster, I think the art was made for the PHB.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Problem with Healing Powercreep

    I disagree with the entire premise of this thread. I don't want healing to be useful in the middle of combat. If healing becomes useful in combat, it becomes mandatory in combat, and I just don't like having to force anyone into the healer slot of a party. Also the metric used is entirely...

    D&D General Time Machine and a New D&D.

    At no point shall a Player ever need to borrow another book for part of their kit. the PHB is all they will need. (I'm looking at you wildshape/pollymorph etc.) Completely gut the spellcasting system so that the most egregious gamebreaking spells aren't in the hands of players or at least...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Rules Oddities (Kibbles’ Collected Complaints)

    This is double biting, considering they had to sacrifice the biggest open playtest in TTRPG history for a PR campaign.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules that annoy you

    I'm going to go with the loading property, and how it makes it mechanically impossible to use a shield and a sling at the same time. Also the jumping rules, which are needlessly convoluted and restricted. And the spellcasting component rules, where you have to drop your magic staff to cast a...

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    So, what kind of monsters are in the book? I wanna see what they picked for Druid wildshape mostly.

    What game(s) handles pets and summons the best?

    "Just a bigger fireball" type summons are my least favorite kinds of summons to be fully honest. Even FFX had a more fun system where the summon effectively swapped out your current party for a monster in combat. Though that style of summon would be incredibly hard to sell for the rest of your...

    D&D General Lies, Darn Lies, and Statistics: Why DPR Isn't the Stat to Rule them All

    Let me blow your mind: That was 3 years ago by the by. Since then they have been probing Action Economy (how effective your actions are and how to deny the enemy their actions) instead

    D&D General I'm a Creep, I'm a Powergamer: How Power Creep Inevitably Destroys Editions

    I think a good deal of what people call "Power Creep" is simply the designers realizing their original project had flaws or gaps. I also agree with the sentiment that financial reasons are the chief motivator in launching a new edition.

    Transformers One 2024

    It looks entertaining enough. It can't be worse than The Last Knight at any rate.

    Bombarded with spam threads?

    Is there a forum option where new accounts can only create one thread per day, which doesn't go away until after they create a thread?
