    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    Both of these are true. But there are a lot of things in D&D that you can point a finger at that operate under this same premise. DMs allowing Tasha's +2/+1. This was fought by many, and caused enough debate to warrant several hundred page threads on this site. DMs allowing certain races has...

    D&D General Your last adventure in photos.

    I like underdogs, so I am going to finger-cross that your fighter with crossbow & shield makes it to fourth level, and then retires from adventuring because he realizes he's just gotten lucky. ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    Well, the thing is, I never said that. I have repeated the same thing over and over. Notice in both of these, the only thing I say is that a turn will take longer, and therefore, by proxy, a round will take longer. If there are fewer rounds, then it might even out or even shorten combat. We do...

    The figure with the staff looks great! And who doesn't love Saltmarsh!

    Not to debate this, because we don't know. All of our experience with the new ruleset, especially the printed versions in the PHB, are limited. But we do know that adding options and reactions takes more time. Players trying to decide what to do takes longer. It is the reason the wizard's turn...

    We don't know if combat will take longer or be shorter. In my experience of using many different systems, the length of combat will be table dependent. For some tables, it will be shorter. For others, longer. But the fact is we have no source to say the 2024 ruleset uses fewer rounds. That is a...

    I think you might have misunderstood. The quote below is what I am referencing: I bolded the part that is important. To that quote I responded - "It does." Why? Because it does. There is no question that more choices and reactions lead to longer rounds of combat. It does. It's the difference...

    Real Life Places That Inspire You As A DM

    Just got back from some Alaskan hikes. If you ever need a Dwarven valley of place where a white dragon lives - it's there! Here is one of our hikes over Crow Pass. This view is from the middle of the pass, looking down and up respectively.

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Isn't there one skill that covers these actions though - stealth. So those differences, outside of the narrative, have no mechanical differences. That is the thing with hiding or sneaking, it all uses the same skill. I mean, sure there might be an instance where you are wedged above the door and...

    D&D 5E (2024) So IS it a new edition?

    Even if it isn't for some people, there still needs to be an easy way to denote what you are talking about. Are you talking about the 2014 stealth rules or 2024 stealth rules? Are you talking about the 2014 green dragon or the 2024 green dragon? Are you talking about the 2014 barbarian or the...

    That second part seems a definite truth. I know for me, that each level I increase, I re-write my entire character on a blank character sheet. Handwritten. No typing. No program. And because of that, I can definitely say I have it memorized, even at higher levels. That one little thing has sped...
