Are you comfortable with some PCs having much better stats then others? Because if you roll, there is a fair chance this will happen. I would consider how much PC attributes affect a player's outcomes. Attributes mean more in some systems than others. In a bonded accuracy system like 5E...

The goodberry spell would have to be changed. The goodberries still restore 1 HP per berry but they no longer provide nourishment.

I'd like the Create/Destroy Water and the Create Food and Water spells to be exclusive to water domain clerics. Since Dark Sun is a land of scarcity, perhaps the spells should be limited to 1/2 power. The food and water finding ability of the outlander background should be reduced as well.

If you are drawn to trying the celestial warlock I would play that. It would be a fine compliment to the rest of the party and the extra healing will be helpful. Pact of the Tome expands your spell versatility while Pact of the Chain gives you a powerful familiar which can almost act as a...

I personally don't think a super support life cleric is necessary with a paladin around. There is too much overlap in a three person party. A light or arcana cleric could be a good compliment, but you're not interested in that. So that brings it down to the gnome wizard or aasimar celestial...

I would set up a situation so that the player characters have a strong incentive to work together. Lawful Evil characters are probably better at this. I played in a Menzoberranzan campaign where all the PCs were members of a noble house. We had a strong incentive to work together because...

At least the movie won't have to compete against past cinematic glory. I have completely blocked out the 2000 D&D movie. I cannot remember anything. For those too young to know what I am talking about -- do not watch it. You were warned.

I would like to see Dark Sun or Al-Qadim campaign books. Dark Sun probably has a better chance of happening as it was more popular. I would also like to see a Psionics Handbook. But other player options are cool too.

Long live D&D! I am looking forward to what the 2020s will bring to the game. It's been different every decade.

4E was my least favorite edition. But my favorite 4E innovation was at-will powers for PCs. Because I remember the days of being a low level wizard or sorcerer who had exhausted your two spells for the day. Then you were reduced to shooting a crossbow. :( 4E at-will powers made being a...

Some problems which require high-level PCs may not necessarily be world-ending. Examples -- --Asmodeus has trapped the soul of a good and holy paladin in the lowest level of The Nine Hells. His church implores the PCs for help. --A wizard has detected highly unusual energy readings in the...

My group had campaigns in both the Forgotten Realms and Eberron. The 2016 Eberron campaign lasted for a year and a half and was completely homebrew. Shortly before the pandemic hit, we came back to Eberron with a game that incorporated Eberron: rising from the last war.

I spent 2008-2012 avoiding 4E because my initial impression was I probably wouldn't like it. I finally tried it in early 2013. Unfortunately, it only confirmed my first impression. As someone who played 1E, 2E and 3E the change in 4E was too jarring. All the classes felt like they were the...

I personally would like a power points system. Psions have a pool of power points for which they can use to manifest any of their powers. Some powers are more draining than others.

Strictly for game balance reasons, I would say abilities which affect magic can affect psionics and vice versa (dispel magic, anti-magic field, detect spells, etc.). However, I think psionics should have no verbal, somatic or material components. While they could technically be counterspelled...

Nalfeshnee are normally very intelligent. But there are always exceptions. They must be embarrassed by this one.

Here is what the Nalfeshnee Demon occupying the White House has been doing this week: Sunday: share a tweet that he should fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the country's leading experts on infectious diseases. Monday: claim he had "total authority" over the states (which is bulls**t). Note...

For primary casters: Constitution, Wisdom, Dexterity, Charisma, Strength, Intelligence. For others PCs I agree with the OP.

Interesting article in Fortune -- What do countries with the best coronavirus responses have in common? Women leaders.

I played it and enjoyed it. Prior to 5E it was my favorite edition of the game. At the time (2001) I thought it was a big improvement over 2E from a game mechanics/crunch standpoint. Confusing stuff like THAC0 and negative armor class was gone. Now if someone had AC 20 it meant you needed to...
