Down here in Mississippi, there's Leaf Paper Mill not too far from where I live, so I have a feeling the South US could be used (Louisiana to Alabama, up to Tennessee). The question would be sustainability and cost difference mostly.

I'm in the camp Backwards Compatibility is key. There's no reason to invalidate hundreds of dollars worth of content I already have; this isn't a video game console they are selling. I'm sicking of buying stuff I already own because someone wants to try something slightly different. Just...

That so little changed from the half-baked bastion rules to what we got in the DMG, I think WotC was gaslighting the public rather than the other way around. I don’t think there was any honesty in listening to the fans this time around, and at best the squeaky wheels were listened to instead of...

Beyond the tone (which I despise), it only accounts for a modern enterprise-like business. As I recall, you couldn’t use it to make a church/sanctuary, thieves guild or even just a manor house or ship the PC owned.

Too bad there wasn't any comment or breakout on the 2024 D&D books - would have been nice to know.

@jgsugden, you're coming across as forcing your playstyle on others. Some people do not see (nor want) the inability to stand against a foe as compatible with their style of play. They may simply consider it unfair as it is the choice of the DM to set up these sort of conflicts and the players...

I've looked over that book and STRONGLY disagree.

Hopefully it is a case on bastions that they're going to sit on it a short while (possibly to see what sort of feedback they get, possibly so they have exclusive on the rules for a bit), and then we'll see them appear in an updated SRD a little further down the road. Personally, I intend to be...

A lot of that is to gate-keep the more powerful monsters out of the reach of lower level characters, honestly. Generally things like demons and devils are "high-level" foes, and by making them immune/resistant to non-magical BPS is a way of saying "wait until you're more heroic/higher level to...

As an aside, magic weapons feel like they have become so useless in 5E that I've been considering of late to change them so that for each +1, they get +1 to hit and +1d6 to damage to make them feel worth (and perhaps exciting) keeping. And now, remembering that Magic Resistance exists, I don't...

This should pretty much reproduce the Sticks to Snakes spell: Sticks to Snakes 3rd level Transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Components: V, S, M (a small piece of bark and snake scales) Range: 90 ft. Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour You cast down a handful of sticks or other wooden...

2E's Monstrous Compendium Annual #3. Not sure if they are in any other products. <Edit> Looks like they may also be in Ruins of Zhentil Keep, and made an appearance in the 3E Realms Campaign book.

Yeah, it's pretty much as @mellored states. I'm more than a bit bummed about it, but non-magical BPS resistance/immunity was a bit of an unfair hit against the martials. Still, to me things like ghosts should have non-magical BPS immunity, and a few others should have resistance (such as...

That could prove a bit interesting to set up a series of Traveller-like charts to roll on after making a death save to narrate what the downed character is going through - it at least gives a player something to do as the rest of the group engages in combat. I haven't sat down with the new DMG...

Ah, so something like the Ondonti (FR Orcs that are LG, but otherwise the same as Orcs)? Does that extend to subraces, like the various collections of elves? On Lizardfolk ... does that also extend to other non-mammal things, such as White Dragons? If not, any particular reasoning? <Edit:>...

For me, the loss of knowledge would be too great. Hand-copying books passes understanding as well as artfully reproducing the text. You simply cannot gain the same understanding and appreciation of the text if some machine mass-reproduces that text. Besides, Guttenberg lettering is cold and...

Does this by chance mean no lizardfolk? <Edit> Also curious what a "gimmick" humanoid would entail.

Can't think of any time I've just narrated a combat without actually running it. For me, if it's a foregone conclusion there's no reason to include it in the first place.

There's a reason they used to call it "Magic Machine Gun"

Doesn't have to be a critter. Could be a plant, material/mineral or even the essence of a certain place/condition. "On the night of a blue moon, dip the quiver in the still waters of Delos, upon the shoreline where Apollo drank." "Weave the quiver's lining from phase spider silk that has...
