    D&D General Which Edition Had the Best Ranger?

    Because I’ve never seen more rangers in play in this edition, by FAR, than in any other edition I’ve run or played in I’d have to say... 5e.

    How do you, as a PC, prep for your next game?

    I generally familiarize myself with character specific rules. Plan ahead a bit in terms of tactical usage of my characters abilities. Think about how to work with some of the other people on the squad. I’ll also think about “who” the character is a bit. Just because I dumped Cha doesn’t mean...

    D&D 5E (2014) It's official, WOTC hates Rangers (Tasha's version of Favored Foe is GARBAGE)

    Ranger should be split into 2 subclasses. Hunter ranger(fighter) Beastmaster(Druid) Maybe 1 more... but it’s not a distinct class anymore.

    D&D General Question on map/ begining of Curse of Strahd

    I agree. My pitch for my current CoS group was basically that a call went out across the land to purge the mysterious valley of Barovia of its ancient evil. In a hall meant for thousands only 5 stood brave enough to accept the task.

    D&D 5E (2014) The importance of concentration for clerics

    I can’t speak from having played done yet. The clerics ive seen in play haven’t invested in a feat but seemed to be largely able to avoid losing TOO many spells(it happened sometimes). In one case(war cleric), the player had a decent con and a high AC. Nature cleric(currently running for...

    Lovecraft Country (Spoilers for Episode 1)

    I’m enjoying it. Some episodes more than others. It’s like watching people play “Pulp Cthulhu”. The finale was good, if not particularly surprising. But you don’t need to give ” me a cliffhanger with every finale. 2 tentacles up. If the viewer is squeamish about gore... at times it might be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Jeremy Crawford Discusses Details on Custom Origins

    A strength bonus doesn’t tell me your character is a half orc. The fact that you took a battle axe... TO THE FACE.. and then pressed on, that’s what tells me you’re a half orc.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access

    I’ve had a few. Nothing too surprising given the nature of the game at this point. Also nothing game breaking. I had to restart the game a couple times but that was day1-2. As a whole, I’m pretty impressed with how they implemented the 5e rule set into their engine.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Haha. Someone must have been particularly lonely and sad to make up an alt account. Not sure how desperate for attention someone would have to be to go through all that effort but... thanks for cleaning up the riff raff.
