This is not intended to single Dire Bare out, but I think it is a good illustration of how systemic inequality actually functions. Access to particular individuals, especially in informal settings, is a huge advantage. In an institution that does not prioritize equity in hiring practices...

So to broaden the discussion, do people enjoy the Chase rules? I’ve used the Chase ruleset, 3 times now in 5 years. I stand by my characterization of the Chase rules as “Serviceable”. The ruleset functions, is a brief change of pace from the ‘normal’ rules, but has never elicited squeals of...

If the monster has a significantly faster rate of movement, the monster is likely to escape. The Chase rules are serviceable with planning and custom Chase Complications. Rogues are at a disadvantage during Chase Scenes, suddenly the person that can Dash as a bonus action every round gets...

I think this is entirely a valid concern for D&D designers. How much or little the personal tables of the designers of D&D reflect diversity, is going to be telling of what cultural inputs the game is receiving at the level of design. This is an article about a D&D group that formed like many...

I played a lot of 2e GW, and loved 3e. The Techno Knight on an armored mutated feline, on the 3e GW is a classic piece of TSR artwork. 7e GW, while I appreciated, how quickly one could jump into the game, felt like a one shot style game, not something that would sustain a long campaign...

LOL....want to get Entertainment Personalities, for a D&D game, join a Los Angeles Private School carpool association! 😃 ( Well, that was true 3 months ago).

Yeah, I don’t follow people on Twitter, so the ruling would not have percolated into my information sphere. 😀 I’m persuaded. Frankly it is a cool concept. Are you planning on having a Role Playing hook with it? Like the feat, represents training in the hidden, healing lore of the Monks of...

Respectfully Zard, you and others have posted the whiteboard numbers before. Those are not in dispute. What I am raising an objection to, is how well those whiteboard calculations map onto real world play, and the contention that the feat is an “easy mode”. Vuman + 3rd level Thief is a very...

This statement strikes me as a bit hyperbolic. The feat is good...it does not turn tier one into a series of insignificant challenges, though. Healing Kits are 5gp per kit, which is not an entirely insubstantial cost at low level. The Trading Post on the Borderlands, is probably not going to...

Jokers to the left of me, Clowns to the right...... noko please explain what is ambiguous about this rule from the PHB: and how it interacts with this spell: MASS HEALING WORD 3rd-level evocation Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: 60 feet Components: V Duration: Instantaneous As you call...

Which was my point....I assumed I did not have to completely restate the order of operations detailed in the post again in the last sentence. 😀

Right, but the actual rules differ from your beliefs....to put it bluntly.

Politely, gently, I humbly submit, the following : 1) your interpretation is likely not general thought. Statistically, a consensus opinion, uniformly held by all En World members would not truly constitute “general thought” 2) the rules state: TARGETING YOURSELF If a spell targets a...

It is better modeled as a 55% chance to hit that DC 15 target to please your audience. +6 before other factors means one only needs to roll a 9.

Honestly, no Undermountain campaign should completely ignore Waterdeep, so I would do the opposite. Use the training optional rules for XP earned above ground, and have XP earned in Undermountain not require training. This encourages groups to get as much XP as possible in the dungeon...

So you want mechanically distinct, and yet simultaneously generic magitech items that work natively in D&D Beyond.....😜 Ray Guns can be more like bows that use single use items as ammunition. Ray Guns could be single use items...like finding a bundle of 3 Scorching Ray scrolls....use it 3...

It was fricken terrible sometimes. When your beloved 12 level Magic User comes back as a bloody badger, and you are bound and determined to not role up a new character, it leads you to do this: It took 5 rebirths to become an elf again.

doc, the rules as is should work fine. Anything high tech can use Magic Item stats. A vibroblade blade could use adamantium stats...a ray gun is a wand etc a tag for skills and tools like Medicine (advanced) could be useful, especially if your group will be on low tech, or standard D&D...

To each their own. I liked Essentials. My 3e group that tried 4e and hated it, hated the books, and hated the layout...they also liked Essentials. I’ve had RPG designers that I am a fan of, but not one I’ve hated. I forget products I don’t like. Again, I am not on Twitter, I know nothing...

As an aside, you seem agitated Mistwell, or perhaps I am misreading the subtext. Regardless, I hope all is well. The Echo Avatar power allows the Echo to be up to 1000 feet away. Nothing states one cannot still use the features described at 3rd level. If your consciousness is in the...
