    D&D 5E (2024) can people give themselves Heroic inspiration with musician feat?

    I would go with "No" as well, but I would want to get and check the new PHB to see if you count as your own Ally first.

    D&D 5E (2014) Chill Touch vs Booming Blade as a backup cantrip on a Bard with a Warlock dip and a 14 Dex

    Are you willing to commit to having a weapon in hand at all times? If not than Booming Blade will not work well for you. If you are willing to commit to having a weapon in hand at all times are you willing to give up a good range for not having disadvantage if you attack someone right next to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight could NEVER use a Scroll, and Players CAN'T use Scrolls they've Scribed from Expanded Spell Lists. This is a BUG.

    To clarify, what I meant was "As they will no longer be able to cast spells from scrolls they will no longer have any incentive to scribe scrolls so that they can rely on infinite spam castings of Shield."

    D&D 5E (2024) Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight could NEVER use a Scroll, and Players CAN'T use Scrolls they've Scribed from Expanded Spell Lists. This is a BUG.

    This would stop Eldritch Knights from making 50 scrolls of the "Shield" spell, so that they always have it available. Would that be a bad thing?

    D&D 5E (2014) wis Warlocks and con Sorcerers

    Is it really the wise people who make Faustian bargains with sinister entities from beyond? Warlocks should stay based on Charisma because it is always the cool kids who never had to face the consequences of their actions who make those kind of deals, confident that it will work out fine for...

    D&D General Which non-D&D races would like to see in Dungeons and Dragons?

    Vulcans are High Elves. Romulans are Drow. Mintakans are Wood Elves. Longer lives, pointed ears, haughty attitude, evil subspecies, older culture, magic (er psionic) powers, cross-breed with humans, every element you would expect from elves is seen in Vulcans.

    Is there any genre or theme that the TTRPG medium does not work for?

    You might be able to make it work if the PC's have no chance to change the broader events that history has recorded, and the events are things that are not recorded in detail anyway. As long as we don't know what, say, four random levied peasants did in the War of the Roses, and as long as the...

    12 months of holiday adventures: How would you do it?

    In real time. Every month we would run a session based on that months holidays. For an American setting this might be New Years/Valentine's/St Patrick's Day (for lack of any day more famous in the USA in March)/Easter/Mother's Day/Father's Day/Independence Day/no idea for August (Lammas is too...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone play 5e Perception rules as written?

    I run D&D every week at our store, normally for beginners, and I always play RAW. It takes explaining every single time as to why characters with Darkvision will still likely want a light source. It takes further explaining as to why lanterns are better than torches. I am interested in seeing...

    D&D 5E (2024) What should WotC change with their new screen?

    Stop wasting the player side with pretty art. The players are the ones who never bother to read the books so they need screen information more than the DM does. Make it huge print so they can read it from far away. The first thing that I would start with is "Without light Darkvision give you DIM...

    How big are the biggest cities in your campaign world?

    I am running Traveller right now. I am not aware on any canonical cities in the Third Imperium with more than a few tens of billions of people. Since we are out on the frontier, the Spinward Marches, the biggest is likely only a few billion people. The biggest city that my characters have...
