    (IC) We be Jammin' (5e PBP)

    The small green creature crawled out of the backpack and stretched to get a membrane full of the local air. "Breathe Free or Die!" was one of the crew's mottos, and all too often the meaning was literal. Normally, the plasmoid would spring out at the first sign of hostility to protect the...

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

    Anyone have any interjections for the conversation?

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e: Stat the Lady of Pain...so we can overthrow her

    Because there has historically been an illogical, if not downright rabid, hatred of the setting from vocal corners of the D&D fanbase. A hatred that has persisted for almost 30 years now. The vitriol is positively exhausting if you actually like to have fun in the setting. Furthermore, nobody...

    Spelljammin' (5e PBP OOC) (Full)

    Glau: AC 15, HP 55, THP 0, HD 5/5, PP 13, R 3/3 The fun thing about being a plasmoid is you can just literally plop down any appropriately colored blob and it will work for a mini or token.

    WotC Wizards of the Coast Is Moving -- But Not Far!

    Apparently the building they are moving into is still in Washington state, just outside of Seattle. Some people just can't move past the 90's.

    A Candlekeep Mystery (IC)

    "Cairn, take care of Hawthorn and Kaliban!" Argenti calls out as she darts into the roots to the west. Splitting the party by necessity, might as well try an even split to give us the best chances of survival.

    Candlekeep Mysteries (OOC Chat)

    Argenti could make it into the tunnel to back up Ethan. She doesn't suffer from difficult terrain from rocks and stones.

    D&D 5E (2024) The rapier problem

    The main thing that prevents Swashbucklers from using scimitars is a lack of proficiency. Most Rogues don't even get to use them for no good reason. Otherwise, Slashing damage is a superior damage type to Piercing: Marginally less resisted by monsters, better VS most objects, and has better...

    A Candlekeep Mystery (IC)

    Accustomed to earth and stone, Argenti dodges the deadly dropping debris! Dex Save: 1D20+2 = [19]+2 = 21

    D&D 5E (2024) RIP, 2014 PHB backgrounds

    Standard Backgrounds in the PHB should be full on custom, with maybe an example or two. Premade backgrounds should be regulated to Setting books, where they can have maximum flavor, and potentially setting specific feats to better reflect them.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next playtest post mortem by Mike Mearls and Rodney Thompson. From seven years ago.

    They also dropped a bit of info about the Campaign Creation Contest from back in 3e. Apparently the Aerenal (undead) elves in Eberron were actually part of Rich Berlew's pitch.

    The Mourning After (Horror) (IC)

    The woman steps into the alley. Appropriately cautious, but willing to take a risk. "Eyrena Niadh." She greets you with bow and a flourish. DC 15 History: "As the saying goes, 'A friend in need is a friend indeed.' From what I gather, those hounds, and those guards, are after you." Eyrena...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Many PHB's have you bought?

    Two. One digital, one hardback. I was sorely tempted to get the alt-cover pack, but I am waiting on 2024 to do that.

    A Candlekeep Mystery (IC)

    "Drop the support?" Argenti looks confusedly at the destroyed pillars, the meenlocks, the boxes they are holding, and the ropes attached. Unsure of her own actions, the genasi comes out from behind the pillar and strikes at the cord with her dagger. You ever notice how most attack cantrips...

    D&D 5E (2024) Feat Levels vs Feat Chains

    Feat Chains are basically outmoded design tech to be honest. Not only are there feat taxes but they lock you into a pre-defined tree which is the against the purpose of having a feat system to begin with: to customize your character. Feat Levels are a serviceable replacement for them, for the...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you time your level-ups?

    I've always wanted to do a mid-fight level up for dramatic purposes, just like in The Last Dragon: But practically speaking you have to level up in the downtime between sessions.

    D&D 5E (2024) Taking a healing potion as a bonus action?

    Combat healing is an incredibly sore spot for 5e. The current system is designed with the intent that your party does not require a healer of any kind, which is good, because regulating someone to a healbot is a horrible gameplay experience (if you don't want to be a healbot, obviously). In...

    The Mourning After (Horror) (IC)

    The party finds secluded alleyway to discuss the events at hand. As they do so, the figure cautiously follows. As she steps walks across the street, you get a better look at her. A human woman, late 40's. Insight DC 10: Insight DC 15: . "Hello, friends." The woman says with a bit of...

    Spelljammer Spell Jammer speed

    The lack of rules is especially weird considering they already have rules for ships and airships in other books. (Airships travel at 10mph, or 4-14mph depending on winds)

    D&D 5E (2024) Healer Feat

    My main problem with the healer feat is that it only applies to HP healing and not status curing. Like there should be a way for them to cure poison and other conditions at least.
