Thank you everyone for your responses to my questions. Thanks. I liked your other adjustments, like Carlton the Doorman, and Pandora rising as a ghost to give her info after your PCs murdered her.

In an effort to understand D&D better (I have only ever been a player in a long-term homebrew 5E campaign), I started reading Quests from the Infinite Staircase and the 2024 DMG. For Infinite Staircase, I've gotten through the first module, The Lost City, and I have a few questions. Unless...

Can confirm I made a new 2014 character and the spell list includes 2014 spells still. Had to both enable 2014 content AND choose the 2014 version of Wizard. If I had 2014 content enabled but used the 2024 Wizard, the 2014 spells only appear at certain points (like when choosing a spell I got...

I checked on pc and mobile and my 2014 character sheet still displays 2014 spells (and 2014 + 2024 under Known Spells). Is this issue only for newly created character sheets?

We use Roll20 with the Beyond20 browser extension for DDB character sheet integration. If that sounds like gibberish: Roll20 for maps/tokens, then the Beyond20 extension lets our DDB character sheets roll in the Roll20 chat log. Not sure where the DM tracks monsters.

I wrote this before I read further down and saw OP's comment clarifying that this question is really about combat scenarios: I think in situations that suit my class's specialties, it is important that my character feels powerful. "Shoot your monks" I guess, but it's more than just combat. I...

Disregard all other control spells and return to Command, the evergreen.

As someone whose party is currently trying to find a demon and save possessed townsfolk: getting to use all these spells is really cool. My -1 INT cleric normally doesn't get to reveal anything about weird happenings, but when it involves some out-of-plane nasty he turns into a Terminator.

BG3 patched in a lot of interesting epilogue content for that deals with the ambiguity of Mind Flayer individuality and humanity. Example: Midway through the game, a god observes that Mind Flayers have no soul. But in one of the patched epilogues, Another example is the epilogue where I...

If I need to find a physical trap or glyph I'll just cast Resistance on our toughest party member and make them run around. 😂 Which leaves the use case for this Level 2(!!) spell to find where an Alarm is attached- oh wait, it doesn't tell me where the Alarm is so I can Dispel Magic on it...

Hypothetically no. I do wish my DM would spend fewer hours trying to fully customize monsters that our party then immediately destroys. I feel like it burns him out. But he's been doing it for years, so I guess it's what he wants.

There was a halfling werewolf companion at one point but she got removed. Helia

My Level 9 party is in a flooding sewer, escorting a group of orphaned children to the surface before they drown. The BBEG's lieutenant is in the sky above us, summoning monsters all around the city. As we are helping the children, a beholder appears! When this happens, some of us (including my...

It's in Origins, during the werewolf quest.

This is exactly how the Polymorph user in my party behaves, so I thought it was very realistic.

Open a Bluesky account and utilize a ttrpg artist starter pack to begin following artists. Artists will have their commission info on a separate site, but you can use social media to find them and see examples of their work. Note that most artists negotiate pricing and availability differently...

Posting a few more Cleric spells since I feel like some of the current direction stems from someone staring really hard at 2014 Contagion text and possibly 2014 Raise Dead. But what I would like to see is the 2024 DMG section on Diseases (or Contagions, since the word disease seems entirely...

I can see my DM doing "milestone" Bastion turns. We just spent 4 IRL months on a quest, and the in-game time for the quest was 2 days. 😂
