And I disagree. And the DMG guidelines seem to say it might or might not impact CR. Which is why I say they should have added guidelines for this. Even if it's to agree with you, a single friggen sentence guideline in either the DMG or the MM was in order for these two very common species for...

A drow is not listed as a creature in the MM or elsewhere in 2024, so far. No, it's whatever NPC block you choose for the species in that moment. Crawford made that darn clear. Drow Pirate is supposed to be an option. Adding species traits according to DMG is supposed to be an option...

Other species getting perks is not, in any way, an answer to the question. You're intended to use that NPC block as-is without adding in species traits at that CR. Adding species traits which alter things about AC, Attack, Damage, and Hit Points according to the DMG may in fact alter CR. And...

I don't need lore, I need to know what the friggen CR is of a Drow or Orc Pirate which has the species trait of a Drow or Orc added to the Pirate NPC template which does in fact impact critical elements such as AC, Hit Points, Attack and Damage. And they didn't include that analysis at all. The...

So let's start with Drow: Add Dancing Lights, Faerie Fire, and Darkness to an NPC statblock. Faerie Fire gives advantage to you and all allies. Darkness gives advantage to attack and disadvantage for them to attack. Alteration to AC, attack bonus, and damage or not? I'd say yes, it definitely...

You claim to be a Russian spy disguised as a dinosaur posting about tabletop role playing games.

Oh man, "buy another book to get a few Drow for your campaign" is so not in any way the "perfect solution." They could have included a few in the MM, like they have every MM for decades, and then included some more variations in a setting book. That would have been much better. Instead I have...

I've been playing in it for about 3 years now, and the Waterdeep Heist adventure before that. We love it. BUT, we are informed our DM has made major alterations to it.

Fighters can out-pace barbarian damage slightly at higher levels but the gap is small. Regardless, most campaigns end around level 10, and I just don't see ranking the highest damage dealers for most campaigns as the lowest rank.

Zealot and Beserker out-damage every other class fairly consistently for single-target damage, which is more of a focus of needed damage for the 2024 MM, but they rank them lowest tier because they're not versatile enough? Meanwhile a class like Rogue (Thief) is about as versatile as they come...

Most extra spells are mediocre though. Example: people like Aberrant Sorcerer. Here are their extra spells: Arms of Hadar, Calm Emotions, Detect Thoughts, Dissonant Whispers, Mind Sliver Hunger of Hadar, Sending Evard’s Black Tentacles, Summon Aberration Rary’s Telepathic Bond, Telekinesis...

The new Wild Surge list in spreadsheet form: Roll every turn Roll every turn Roll every turn Roll every turn Summon Creature Summon Creature Summon Creature Summon Creature Heal 5hp every turn for 10 turns Heal 5hp every turn for 10 turns Heal 5hp every turn for 10 turns...

Going through the new Wild Magic sorcerer, with the massive change to Tides of Chaos which basically let's you use the Wild Magic table every other round, and looking at the new Wild Magic table, I gotta say I think this is the best Sorcerer subclass now. While before this subclass could wreck...

Day 1 errata is found as a matter of routine on all projects, rushed or not. While this project may or may not have been rushed, you have provided no substantive support for the claim that Day 1 errata is in itself a sign the project was rushed.

You claimed day 1 errata is a problem. He said it's not. You demanded substantive support for why it's not a problem...having provided zero support for why it is a problem to begin with.

Blue, your entire contention has nothing substantive supporting it, and appears to be based on your personal opinion which you admit is driven by emotion (anger) since 4e at WOTC and their publication decisions. If you want others to provide "substantive support" for their disagreement with your...

I'm confused Blue. WOTC gave a lot of warning about the imminent shut down of the 4e tools. They published errata that you could print and download. They told you to print and download stuff before the shut down. It wasn't just suddenly unexpectedly pulled one day. There was a good long run-up...

Violent Klingons have gone for a drink in 10-Forward. The violent part is, basically, redundant with Klingons. There are non-violent Klingons but they're very rare. This does not make Klingons evil though. After all, their procreation is violent. However, this is the Klingon of later shows...

That's the best dam theory of the whole thread.

I wonder if it's because I didn't assign the PC to a campaign first, and my books are the DMs associated with the campaign, so it is only pulling from the free 2024 rules?
