    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 Creature Reveal: Sphinx of Wonder

    And the majority of that damage is Radiant to boot. But honestly, it looks like the damage range maps to what we saw in the MotM book, which was expected to happen. Even with that forewarning, I still suspect a lot of people are going to be shocked when the MM comes out and everyone switches...

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's call it 5.24

    D&D Anniversary Edition, D&D AE for short?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #4: "New Barbarian"

    Also from that Treantmonk video, Bear resistance is confirmed to be nerfed. Which is going to make Barbarians feel really squishy now that monsters have more elemental attacks.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #4: "New Barbarian"

    No word on Damage Resistances? They were planning on nerfing them.

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 Creature Reveal: Sphinx of Wonder

    The formatting bones seem easier to parse so far, but this monster isn't particularly complicated to begin with. I would really have to see something complex to get a better grasp on everything. Though it is worth noting that apparently the PHB monsters don't have much if any lore next to...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #3: "New Paladin"

    Do we know bonus action spells work the same clunky way? Given that 2024dnd was supposed to remove bits of clunk?

    D&D 5E (2024) The New DMG Gives DMs Campaign Log Sheets

    What is the name of this art style? Edit: I didn't understand why I was getting upvotes, so I reworked the question to highlight the fact I was asking a question.

    D&D 5E (2024) The 2014 vs 2024 PHB Compatibility Thread

    Monsters and magic items should be trivial to import (unless they reference an outmoded rule that is). As for characters I fully believe you can't simply mix-and-match 2024 and 2014 rules without significant effort. One of the craziest things I have heard is that Artificers have seem to have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druids seen in the Wild (Shape?)

    Like maybe 1/3 druids I've seen were Moon. Which means they aren't the majority (or even seen more than any other druids) but they are the most common.

    D&D 5E (2024) Maybe this is a bit late, but let's talk about Rogue's Niche, and What Rogue Should Be.

    The niche of being a "skill monkey" robs the other marshal classes of being good outside of combat. As we have seen when the other editions of D&D have tried to enforce niche protection for the Rogue/Thief class. I would go as far as to say that the existence of the thief/rogue in other...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Let's Read] Solasta Campaign Sourcebook: Revised Edition

    Solasta does suffer from the common trope of "The really cool stuff happened in the past." But in contrast it does have an extensive amount of negative space to game with if you just want to play dungeon crawls without baggage, kind of like 4e's Nentir Vale setting. The big advantage of having...

    WotC Latest video game x D&D crossover: Destiny 2

    I've seen that mind flayer armor before. In one of the Dragon+ magazines I believe. Edit: of course the archives are down for that. I wonder if I saved it somewhere. Edit 2: Oh good the Internet Archives has them. Edit 3: It was in issue 11. Concept art for Volo's Guide to Monsters, by Tyler...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should Explicit Monster Roles Return?

    All monsters are already designed with a role in mind. You aren't using a Wolf as an sniper without some heavy houseruling. Listing the role up front just gives guidance to DMs, making their burden lighter. This goes double if the DM is looking to change what the monster is doing! You already...

    D&D 5E (2024) Understanding "nostalgia"

    Yeah, I'm nostalgic for some of the things from the 80s/90s. But man, I did not have a good time in the 00's over all.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which classes have the least identity?

    I'm one of the people who hated the lack of Archer Fighters. There are two reasons: It was the most extreme example of Fighter Erosion (where they just cut off parts of what could be the fighter to give it to another class) we had ever had. Every other Martial Power Source using class had a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which classes have the least identity?

    That turnaround is enough to give anyone whiplash, from the bottom of the list strait to the top. Anyway, I voted for Cleric. Mostly because it's 13+ radically disparate concepts shoved into a straitjacket with no common through line, and no reason to have similar toolkits other than said...
