    D&D 5E (2024) Thief Rogue / True Strike

    With this, you have convinced me that your interpretation is mistaken. Activating a scroll takes an action. Actions are listed in ch 1 and in the glossary: which action is it? The only plausible candidate is that it is a Magic action. That should settle the matter. You may be right that it is...

    D&D 5E (2024) Temp HP - a hidden nerf to druids and others

    Fair enough. There was a big thread about it here back in February, much of which focused on the nerfs (link).

    It's an illusory asterisk. (Save to disbelieve).

    D&D General 50 Years. The Least Popular Class Is......

    The 2024 rules are kinder to Illusion magic than any edition we have had in 50 years. Between the Illusionist subclass, the Trickster Cleric, the Glamour Bard, and the Arcane Trickster, there are now four subclasses partial to Illusion magic, and some guidance (not enough, sadly) to help...

    D&D 5E (2024) Temp HP - a hidden nerf to druids and others

    There's nothing hidden about this -- it is explicitly doing exactly what the change wants to do, which is to reduce the over-powered nature of Moon Druids in the 2014. rules. I've not played with Polymorph enough to feel I have a complete sense of how it worked, but my sense is that it's doing...

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

    While Donnell works, the Colonel moves to a point position on the east sie of the room. He sees the open doors, an while he doesn't peer inside, he does look down the corridor to the south, an he listens.

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    "No!" Miss Imogen screams. "Not again!". As the second hag fades, Miss Imogen does a quick tally of what this pointess fight has cost them. She looks at Kapalue, bravely daring to attack with his tiny sling, and she realizes how grateful she is that her dear Weed is still alive, and how close...

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

    The Colonel stands and cracks his knuckles, as he joins Doc. He adjusts his shield and is ready to strike, keen as always to lead the charge. He makes visual contact with Donnell, and is pleased that the lad is on his own, holding himself with confidence and strength. I am not sure if we have...

    Against the Giants 5e PBP (Full)

    So thanks, Team for these answers. Much of what I was going to say has been covered (and more! Really great to have the summary. Here's a few minor additions from the Colonel's perspective.

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

    "Should I come with you now to get the dwarves," he asks,"or will you bring them here? We appreciate your willingness to negotiate peaceably." "We will leave you and your work undisturbed. We hope to be gone from this place very soon. We appreciate your willingness to negotiate peaceably. If...

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

    Aren't there some left? I thought there were -- two being tortured and maybe others? I know we got most of them away, but I thought some were left. I'm sorry if I'm confused -- I think the Colonel all along believed there were som e we hadn't been able to rescue in the original batch.

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

    The Colonel grunts as the parley concludes. In his mind, he has established that they will take the dwarves and leave the orc workers. "Should I come with you now to get the dwarves," he asks,"or will you bring them here? We appreciate your willingness to negotiate peaceably." He bows his head...

    (OOC) Scourge of Daggerford (Full)

    I am happy with anything, really. I don't want this to be all Tommi-focussed, and I find it funny that here Tommi actually is running off on his own (as opposed to the other times when he wasn't). For Tommi, he is concerned about his childhood friend. If he stops him, great. If not, it adds to...

    (OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

    For the new PHB? There's, like, a ton of videos, easily googleable, depending on what class you are interested in. They've been having a massive publicity drive for months, with new official and unoffical discussions every day. Depending on what you are interested in, there are also threads on...

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    Kapalue squeaks and runs between Miss Imogen's skirts and sidles up next to Brrapp, and as he does so he launches a stone from his small sling, with the ferocity of a stegosaurus. Move to S26. Attack with sling: 1d20=12+6=18 to hit (HIT)* Damage: 1d4+3=5 (+1d6 fire?=3) rounded for resistance...

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    Miss Imogen hates this battle as it draws longer and longer. Her arrows seem almost ineffective against these witches. Their resources are being drained, and there is nothing for her to do. Weed is safe, and for that she is thanksful, but her head is still spinning form the magic that had made...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predictions for the 2024 DMG?

    What seems to be missing is the material from chapters 4 and parts of 9 of the 2014 DMG -- I'm hoping it will be there (and updated), but it would be great if there were a. something on designing NPCs, perhaps with the Sidekick rules, even if the "evil subclasses" are not ported over. b...
