Almost all 2024 feats now give +1 ASI; I think the free level 1 origin feats are the only exception.

Is this too much for a feat, though? And it's missing heavy armor... a lot of those dips are wizards wanting plate mail (in my experience, anyway) and just dealing with the reduced movement (from low str) by having Phantom Steed, Longstrider etc. As folk said, the way to go for your wizard is to...

Oh right, they made it "no more than 1 spell that uses a spell slot per turn," right? But does that mean that they could fireball + fireball wand?

What were some of the things you noticed incorrect/omitted?

Do they also not know about Cthulhu mythos and HP Lovecraft? That helped inspire stuff that's still in present-day DnD as well :( I guess I don't know what I'd do in your shoes; if your players discovered the history and truth, what would guilt by association do? Would they stop playing? But...

I'd use b/x if it were feasible.

Very similar to DCC, not sure if it's inspired by it or coincidental.

I much prefer the lower numbers. My players always race to get +5 in their primary stat; in 5e it's so easy to do so, to and it really makes things more complex if I want to challenge them without outright killing them because they've upped their damage output but can't handle any extra input...

iirc they got rid of the "optional" part of it in 2024. It's just a part of the character creation rules.

I doubt OP wanted to turn this thread into a "should paid games exist?" discussion, but it's always been a hot topic so it's understandable. I grew up with there being a heavy stigma attached to the idea of paying to play DnD- it was something you did with your friends.. or a way that you made...

I like your answer- because it means I'll just say 10lbs :'D

I love improv and responding to whatever choices etc. the players make, riffing on their ideas, and emergent storytelling from random tables... but I found that while I like improvising the majority of my adventures, I do benefit from having an outline/framework to work off of. I may end up...

I believe the section on objects MAY have also mentioned damage thresholds in passing? "Unless you do X damage, it does nothing." Oh wait is this marked DnD General or 2024... I don't know, I seem to recall something in that vein- or I'm remembering it from A5E or something else 😅

Yeah, ?Caramon? hit pretty hard. Hero to zero.

Make a consumable component for it that's big and bulky. A5E gives it a consumable component 200gp stone statue to a deity ?of protection? I ruled that such a 200gp stone statue would be 1. Not too easy to get ahold of, basically one at a time, no stocking up, and 2. It weighs at least 40lbs and...

$20 is pretty average as far as per-session costs go (the common range is $10-50)- but like Iry said, unless you get lucky you're probably better off starting with short adventures to see who fits at your table, and then you can plan for something longer once you have a number of players that...

They're very skilled/best at what they do, but yeah they occasionally "roll badly" and that gets them into predicaments... but I'll say that I think Conan has failed some rolls as well (not nearly as many); he's definitely more "perfect" than Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, who both have their own...

Alternatively, attack their resources- their per rest features. That's a pretty big "oh crap," when the barbarian loses a rage or the wizard loses their highest spell slot- this also imitates what level drain used to do. I agree with exhaustion in general, but killing their feature usages is...

The warriors seem to avoid life drain- either high AC or high CON saves mean they don't see their max hp reduced as often. Meanwhile, the fragile characters are getting their HP dropped pretty hard... This leads to the low HP characters wanting to rest, and the high HP characters thinking they...

I'm still interested to hear about Dungeon Crawler Carl, if anyone can give their thoughts on it. Someone likened it to Discworld and that got me a little curious.
