    D&D 5E (2024) Hypothesis: Playtest 7 delayed to add elements inspired by BG3

    They already tried to slip some BG3 rules into the playtest, like Bardic Inspiration being a reaction, but it didn't take despite how good of an idea it was mechanically. Personally, I am hoping the Jumping rules make it in.

    D&D 5E (2024) Baldur's Gate 3: List of Mechanical Differences from 5e (need assistance to fill the list)

    Using meters instead of feet is one convention chat popped out to me, but that is just a setting that can be toggled. Jumping is totally overhauled: There is no such thing as a running jump or a standing jump, just a singular jump. There is no upper limit to jumping distance (making the Jump...

    Spelljammin' (5e PBP OOC) (Full)

    I blame myself for going below decks in the middle of combat, which kind of stalled everyone.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are THE wizard spells?

    I'm gonna peeve a lot of people with this I know, but not only do I not think of Fireball as a particularly "wizardly" spell, I don't think it's a particularly "magical" spell to boot. It's just a firebomb. Same with the modern Lighting Bolt (though back in 2e, Lighting Bolt qualified as both...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wizards Do Suck;)

    Wizards suck because they aren't allowed to have real class features, and more often than not their subclass features are just kind of milquetoast. It's more or less the same problem the Fighter had for the longest time: Most of the cool stuff was cut away to give to other classes. Mind you...

    Oops, I forgot to port that over to the post! Dr Dreamlilly should be at the Arena, if you all feel like taking a trip over later.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 will now be releasing August 3rd on PC and September 6th on PS5, increased level cap, race & class details and more

    You are probably aiming at their circles and not at their feet. They have to actually stand in the potion to be healed. Remember this game isn't using a grid. You can even hit two people with the same potion if you aim it right.

    The Mourning After (Horror) (IC)

    The bartender slops bowls and mugs onto the bar. With the unsavory memory of ragout on your tongue, the umami of a real stew warms your innards with an actual, if simple, meal. Having something solid for flavor to cling onto does wonders for the digestion. The beer is a bit watery, as expected...

    We have the class data. https://baldursgate3.game/news/community-update-23-here-s-to-you_83 But yes, most of the top 5 picked classes do benefit from a free shield.

    I am assuming that Malix won't be eating? Not that he needs to.

    The real reason Gale is the most common origin, by a significant margin, is due to Speedrunning. His percentage of usage is going to be jacked up forever because he can Here is an example: And because they are speedrunners, who intend to start the game over and over in order to get a...

    4th of Zarantyr, 998 YK. Noon. The Vice House, Southshore, Metrol, Cyre. A wooden mushroom-shaped sign welcomes you to the vice house: “The Fun-Guy! We have REAL mushroom beer and stew!” As you step inside and your eyes adjust to the lighting, you notice how unusually lively the place is for...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    These UA results where things don't hit the mark and then get backtracked are inspiring anti-hype in me. Why do I want new books if the are going to be mostly the same as old books, save for like a few pages?

    D&D 5E (2024) Asians Represent: "Has WotC Fixed the D&D Monk?"

    I honestly can't tell if this is an argument for, or a sarcastic slam, considering that the ideal martial artist that people want to play is more within the venn diagram of Arcade Fighting Cabinets, Shonen Manga, and Wuixa films. And less within the realms of MMA.

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

    Sorry for the delay! I am going to have to put this game on hold for another month, I am super busy with planning my own wedding. If you all are still up for it then, I will continue.
