    D&D 5E (2024) Should the environmental conditions scale by tier?

    It feels like these should be neutral to the level of the PCs, but on the other hand there are no more goblins once the PCs reach level 7 and only giants start appearing until level 11 when the giants disappear and are replaced by dragons. The other parts of the system are not that believable.

    What Is A Superhero?

    This is what I was thinking about the general vs the specific, from the Suicide Squad Wiki page. It does specify that they are villains and anti-heros, but they all fall under superhero.

    What Is A Superhero?

    I'm mostly here, but feel that the term superhero can mean any person with powers or abilities and not divide them into hero/villain/person unless it needs to be specific. A bit like arguing big D Democracy and little D democracy. Using this, I think Punisher is a 'superhero' because he has...

    Worlds Largest Dungeon Holds 'Secret Doors' Contest

    Sounded somewhat cool to look into until they wanted a video to go with the submission to post to YouTube and wanting me to get friends to vote for me and such like it is middle school. Gives it a feel more like a popularity contest over a search for good/interesting writing scenarios. I'll...

If you have the Hide action’s Invisible condition, this attack doesn’t end that condition on you if you end the turn behind...

    D&D General What races/species populate your DnD world?

    While I play using the Forgotten Realms (FR), I like to keep the PCs to the PHB races. I might allow something else if a player wants, but we tend to stick with a more Lord of the Rings (LotR) looking party, which is fine with me. When placing monster races in the campaign, I like to have...

    D&D General Bastion Mapping Tools

    I took one from Dyson Logos and let the players modify it as it is expanding. I did make a few side quests for the henchmen to explore with a secret dungeon workshop and a hidden temple being converted into a thief hideout. I could go for a simple program where you pick from a few options...

    D&D 5E (2024) Potion miscibility, permanent effects and using potions in the future.

    I like what @Swarmkeeper said above in asking the players. The monk's player might have an idea for him in the game and a path that they wanted to create. Having the option of either may be cooler for the player, and thus more fun. This option might open up to all the players thinking that...

    D&D 5E (2024) "No magic items are necessary" vs Magic Items Awarded by Level

    Most of the party tend to have +1 weapons (rare) by level 5 and I start filter in +2 (very rare) by level 11. I do not recall any +3 given out, but I never had a gave go past level 15. Each Pc will also tend to have two other permanents by level 8 and 3-5 minor things like potions and such...

    How to Delay or Avoid GM Burnout

    Have a conversation with the players. Mine seem to bite onto what I present because I ask them where they are going so that I can plan ahead and make a dungeon. If they then turn to something else when we next play, I just tell that I have nothing planned for that and we can not play tonight...

    How do you like to handle dungeon mapping?

    Welcome to the site, in case nobody else mentioned it. You will also run into the problem with darkvision or even tremmorsence going out past the torchlight and those PCs knowing more of what is up ahead. Should the DM explain the hall or room 3-4 different ways each room? Becomes more of a...

    Model it after the new Lucky feat and have it 3 times a day you get some knowledge when you need it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    I might add something about moving on your turn and if you still have advantage on attacks and can get sneak attack. I can see the designers making it a bit like the halfling hiding behind the fighter and popping out each turn with advantage in 2014. I can see the intend being that you are...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    I cannot remember standing up and cheering at any other movie. Howard the Duck might be a close second.
