    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing and ability score drain?

    Disagree. I can make a 16 Str / 8 Int wizard. Then in order to learn how to swing sword i need to study even more magic. Spend my feats to boost my Intelligence.

    IMO, I just ignore the minimum requirement.

    D&D General What Is D&D Generally Bad At That You Wish It Was Better At?

    Rolling twice per attack. Attack and damage should be 1 roll. (Possibly d20+weapon+Str - AC) Ability Scores and modifiers. Should just be 1 number (could go either way, but not both).

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls 5E 2014 Monster Mods?

    Then PCs get +5 to all d20 rolls, DC, and AC. Everyone has 1 HP and all hits deal 1 damage. THP is capped at 1 (rage also absorbs 1 hit). Monsters won't hit often, but it's serious when they do.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls 5E 2014 Monster Mods?

    That makes it more swingy, but I don't think it would be more interesting. Fighters are still going to walk into a room and just roll dice to see if they kill or die.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    I posted this in the original thread but best I think might happen... New background Purple Dragon Knight: Ability Scores: Str / Int / Cha Skills: Persuasion, History Tools: ?? New Origin Feat: Gain Commander's Strike from the Battle Master. You can use it at-will, but the Superiority Die...

    D&D 5E (2024) Encounter Design For Party Lvl 7. BG3+

    I'll note that no one has Str saves. So grapples, gust of wind, Ensnaring Stike can all be good. Add some platforms, and push.

    D&D 5E (2024) Encounter Design For Party Lvl 7. BG3+

    How are their concentration saves? You could have a few archers/Eldrich Blasters in the next room, that rush in on round 2 and try to break the hold person. Sanctuary on a stunned or held target also works nice.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Psion+++++thread

    IMO, at-will low level spells, but lots of "metamagic". Level 1: get 2 cantrips and 2 Amps. You can use your Bonus action to apply an Amp to the next Psychic spell you cast this turn, including subclass spells. Amps -add Int to damage roll, plus Int point spent -increase range by 30', plus...

    D&D General Can a Wish spell move a moon to cause an eclipse?

    It's a pretty classic Wish twist to get far more than you expected. I.e. wish for gold, get buried in gold. So you Wish for an eclipse, you get a perpetual and global eclipse.

    D&D 5E (2024) Working on ideas for my next character.

    Don't think that works. The net is not a light weapon, and doesn't qualify for Nick. You can still Net + Fast Hands a rope though. Also, I kind of feel like using a Whip + Slasher feat and call him Bond would be appropriate.

    D&D General Can a Wish spell move a moon to cause an eclipse?

    To toss out another idea. The ritual isn't complete until the eclipse ends. And it doesn't end until the wizard dies (noticeable with DC 20 arcane check). Meanwhile, the whole world is slowly freezing (ticking clock)

    D&D 5E (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    Umm Actually... They call it a paladin subclass. It's a fighter subclass. Ironic isn't it, when they complain about not respecting source material.

    D&D General Can a Wish spell move a moon to cause an eclipse?

    Doesn't sound bad enough IMO. Especially if they have a shadow monk and Gloomstalker ranger for allies. But if it rains down Meteor Swarms around them every few minutes as the moon breaks up sounds pretty good. Even if they teleport, the moon follows and drops more rocks.

    D&D General Can a Wish spell move a moon to cause an eclipse?

    IMO They eclipse happens, and then the moon falls. And / or the eclipse happens and never ends. Turning the zone into a frozen wasteland.

    Or they are secretly implementing the old Solid Fog spell.. 🤣

    I don't see any reason why it would need to be windows only. Unreal 5 supports cross platform play. You could put it on Playstation, X-box, and phones too. Though I doubt they would. Not unless it's very successful.

    D&D 5E (2024) Sigil Review Thread (+)

    Sigil used Unreal 5 as the engine. Unreal 5 has Mac support, though usually a versions or 2 behind. So it shouldn't be too much work to get it running. And I'm guessing there will be official Mac support eventually. Maybe in like a year, but still eventually.

    D&D 5E (2024) Life drain needs to be replaced with Exhaustion

    It's not completely removed. Some creatures still have it. It's just mostly removed.

    D&D 5E (2014) For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    My houserule for that. Out of turn movement (I.e. monk dragging the cleric with spirit guardians, readied movement) doesn't deal the damage. Pretty sure that's what was intended to work. Also, it not a new issue. It was once per turn before too. It is easier to pull off though.
