Speaking personally... I don't see any rules issues in 5E24 that are over and above the various rules issues that were in 5E14. So if you all were able to make completely serviceable stuff back in 2014, 2015, 2016 with your smaller team... I don't see why that shouldn't happen again in 2025...

In my 40+ years of playing I have never once ever had or seen a party of PCs that have all wielded the same exact style of weapon or type of magic and thus were all unable to attack a creature with a specific immunity. So around my neck of the woods your comment is an extreme corner case that...

Eberron with 5E works for some people and doesn't work for others. So be it. Not a big deal.

You bought what was printed within the pages of the book, not for the numbers on the outside that estimate the power levels of the characters doing it. If the adventure as written is not worth $50 to you, then return it.

The other thing to note about this is that if the players are constantly trying to use Insight and want it treated like a lie detector test... that pretty much is an indication that they don't have any desire to be "fooled" in the story. They don't wish to be lied to. Which of course is an...

Except that other than combat (which gives each creature an XP amount)... any actions or quests or things that the PCs do or complete gains XP completely determined and at the whim of the DM. So even "non-milestone" XP is still pretty much "milestone XP" because the DM chooses how much XP to...

The players get an impression of what the person might actually be feeling. But really just that... impressions. Which they can take or leave.

We pretty much don't use them because almost no monsters have any 'Gotcha!' abilities that would warrant spending any amount of time trying to figure them out before a combat, rather than discovering them in the midst of fighting them. A monster is immune to something? Then one of the players...

I voted 'Other' because I don't care either way. I don't care enough about exceedingly niche Forgotten Realms lore for it to bother me that the term 'Purple Dragon Knight' has changed its meaning in Cormyr viathe subclass... and I also don't care if the mechanics of this subclass of a certain...

We are paying for what we get. A couple hundred pages of an adventure. What they call the levels on the cover doesn't matter... we're paying $50 for what's inside it. If a person has a problem, they should read the table of contents and flip through the entire book before buying it so they...

Go ahead. Call it 6E. That'll certainly clear up any and all confusion. ;)

I'll let those new DMs figure it out for themselves. It's good training. Nothing the rest of us need to concern ourselves with.

No. Because if I don't like the game rule, I don't use the game rule. Other DMs can't do that? That's on them. If some DMs do what I consider to be jerk moves? That's also on them. But why should they care that I think they are jerks? They shouldn't. They should do what works for them.

At the end of the day, it's that some monsters have had their Type changed by the game rules, not by anything within the game world. It is purely a game rules issue. If a DM does not tell their players straight away that the game rules have changed with these new books and that certain...

Obviously you'll have to do what you think will work best for your game... but I don't see anything offhand that would be unbalanced by just using the Beastmaster subclass. I'm imagining that you are thinking that having a druid in wildshape form while also having a beast companion fighting...

I'd probably just port the Ranger's Beastmaster subclass over to be the subclass for the Druid, making any small tweaks necessary to fit the new class. You'd use the Beast of the Land companion statblock for it and you'd have to find a replacement for the Level 11 Bestial Fury ability for extra...

I think this is precisely why they put all of these into a Forgotten Realms UA... so they could throw out these conceptual ideas to the world and get a sense of whether people out there really care or not. If enough people say "The mechanics of the Purple Dragon Knight are okay for a...

Keith linked to the EN World post on his X account and said he's been keeping quiet for the last few months, so he definitely has had knowledge if not some fuller connection to the product.

If you haven't bought yet the relevant 3.5E books for Xen'drik, Sarlona and Argonnessen, I'd highly recommend it. All the 3.5E Eberron books are worth it, even if mechanically they aren't aligned to 5E necessarily.

That's all true. Don't disagree. But at the same time on the opposite side of the coin one could say that it weakens the thematic power of the dragonmarks when a character with a specific class can be better and more magically inclined to the theming of the mark. A Mark of Making might give...
