    D&D 5E (2014) Don't play "stupid" characters. It is ableist.

    If anyone is looking for a definition of "stupid", I have found it in the fact that this thread has gone on for 23 pages and counting.

    Fizban's Treasury of Dragons Review Round-Up – What the Critics Say

    I think it's pretty meh compared to Volo's. After reading VGtM I feel like I came away with profoundly different conceptualizations of hags, goblinoids, and to a lesser extent Giants. After reading FGtD I felt like I had been exposed to a lot of "same old" and a bunch of unnecessary and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't play "stupid" characters. It is ableist.

    Or you could just not try to tell other people how to play a game with their friends. Contrary to popular opinion, what I say and do around a friend's dining room table once a week is not an exercise in social engineering.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Kobold Press] Book of Ebon Tides: 5th Edition enters the Plane of Shadow!

    How much of this is going to be new material and how much recycled? I have backed everything KP put out for years but I'm getting a lot of duplicate content that way.

    D&D 5E (2014) Too Many PC Races With Darkvision? (a Poll)

    I just started the Shadow of the Apt series (good, not great) where being able to see in darkness is rare and special. It made me decide that in my next campaign unless your race's culture takes place primarily underground you will not have darkvision without magic

    D&D 5E (2014) PC races that a DM has specifically excluded from their campaign and why

    I usually exclude some races from the world but only after the players have chosen their PC races. I don't see a reason to limit character choices but I also don't see the need for dozens and dozens of sentient humanoids with their own civilizations. After the players have decided on their races...

    D&D 5E (2014) What House Rules Can You NOT Live Without?

    Added a "breather", a 5-minute rest where all you can do is spend a number of hit dice equal to your proficiency modifier. Limit once per short rest Reroll ones for any kind of healing if you have a d6 or d8. Reroll ones and twos if you have a d10 or d12

    D&D 5E (2014) Sell me on: Midgard by Kobold Press

    To the OP: I've been running a campaign in Midgard since it came out and love it. I guess the way I would describe it is that Midgard is painted with brighter, boulder colors than anything WotC is putting out. I have played in several FR campaigns run by friends in fifth edition and I find the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Twilight Sanctuary vs Magical Darkness?

    Just started a new campaign that has two warlocks (genie and hexblade) as well as a Twilight cleric. The warlocks had planned to twin spam darkness/devil's sight, something our party has never done in all of our many 5th edition games. However, the twilight cleric's 2nd level channel divinity...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unearthed Arcana: Drakewarden and Way of the Ascendant Dragon

    The obvious solution is to tack on the Drake growing to medium to the 11th level class ability.

    D&D 5E (2014) How much social interaction in RotFM?

    As soon as TCoE is released my group plans to start ID:RotFM. my initial character concept was to be the face of the party, probably a rogue swashbuckler with or without a dip into something. The plan was to expertise in Deception and Persuasion and generally be a lying charming inspiring kind...

    Level Up (A5E) What is the vision of the high level fighter?

    Or how about we take the players who want their character to shape-shift into a dragon, Sprout fortresses from the ground, create demiplanes, help crops grow, and encourage them to play something other than a fighter? I think making Fighters able to both withstand and dish out incredible...

    Unearthed Arcana New UA: 43 D&D Class Feature Variants

    In some ways it makes them more versatile. Wizards get two spells per class level of their choice or on average four spells of each spell level, plus whatever scraps the DM and/or module decide to throw their way. So Wizards will NEVER be able to cast the vast majority of wizard spells. With...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bladesingers And The “Average” Game

    In the game that I DM, the 6th level BS is mostly melee with upcast shadowblade, mirror Image, and Shield when necessary. Very effective in combat plus a standard wizard when necessary. I play a BS (4th level) in another game where I am pretty evenly split between melee and control. I...
