    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    Unfortunately, the BG3 tie in product was Decent into Avernus.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Campaign "Houserule" Idea - Armor Proficiency is based on the armor "donner" not wearer.

    Well, you could also disable spellcasting by having someone non-proficient suit up a prisoner. Imagine the iconic squire helping out their Paladin, only to find out the Paladin can't use spells because the squire is still untrained in heavy armor.

    [5e] Dread Metrol, The Mourning After. (Horror) (OOC)

    Yeah, I think stopping is for the best. Unfortunately, I broke my arm, and it will be weeks before I can try to type normally. Which is really eating into my ability to set up posts. Maybe I will try something new when I can use both hands again.

    D&D 5E (2024) Survey is Live for Unearthed Arcana PHB Playtest 8

    No, the bonus healing is actually wasted, because even these buffed healing spells don't outpace Monster damage. This isn't problem of language, it's a problem of math.

    D&D 5E (2024) Survey is Live for Unearthed Arcana PHB Playtest 8

    They got your point, they are arguing your logic is backwards: The solution to your problem is carrot, not stick. If you want people to heal in the middle of combat, healing spells need to do way more healing (like 3x as much as they currently do), not less. Monsters already do way more damage...

    Its more fundamental than that. One side is arguing that a Verbal component can be done in a way that is virtually imperceptible, which defeats the purpose of using components to trace spells back to their origin. It has far greater reach than just Counterspelling, it also effects mundane...

    The Mourning After (Horror) (IC)

    "The criminals of Sharn are dead. Just like the rest of the world. The entire outside world, just another one of Her Majesty's lies." Callia responds, and for the first time, you can sense emotion, a long burning anger, behind her cool demeanor. "All of our sentiment, our families, our very...

    All this time I thought "Rizz" was just the contemporary form of "Ritz."

    D&D 5E (2024) Weapon masteries should really be linked to weapon properties, not to specific weapons!

    I thought about it for a moment, then realized doing so would eliminate having less damaging or otherwise worse weapons with superior effects kind of balance, which is a choice martials should have.

    No, thankfully that's an optional rule. That rule is so poorly written that it's borderline useless. It doesn't take into account the fact you can't even say "Look out, they are casting Fireball!" when it isn't your turn, so your party can use their reactions accordingly.

    Right, So: Spell components are used for the purposes of tracing spells back to their caster, and determining what can be Counterspelled; If there are no components to the spell, or if you cannot perceive the components, you cannot Counterspell. And indeed you cannot trace a spell back to it's...

    How, exactly, do you identify a creature casting a spell?

    If you see a creature casting Power Word Kill, how would you know they are casting a spell unless you were able to hear them at the same time as their casting?

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Druid discussion

    It occurs to me, that even the people who like this wildshape can't approve this rendition of wildshape until we get the full gamut of stat blocks that they are going to print in the PHB. How many statblocks are we talking here? If it's anything less than 40, that means the new druid isn't...

    Even if they didn't have hand crossbows they would still have daggers. It is weird that they don't have slings and darts though.

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Monk Discussion

    It's probably not an oversight. There are only three martial weapons with the Light property to begin with, and Shadow Monks are supposed to be ninjas anyway.

    That was going to happen no matter how they changed, and they were going to change. Most people found the spells to be obnoxious to play with, which in a communal game is a worse sin than being overpowered (and they were by no means underpowered to begin with).

    D&D 5E (2024) UA 8 Barbarian Discussion

    The extra rage on a short rest is a nice way to smooth out the adventuring day. Primal Knowledge is some of the most fun I have ever had with Character, so I'm glad to see they kept it. Weapon Mastery needs more proliferation, that Addle property from the Open hand monk would be a nice...
