    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    I like the idea of partner spells, I have been thinking about something in that vein since the 2014 MM introduced Hag covens. I also think you could have partnered martial maneuverers too. Not sure if you did that in your forthcoming martial book.

    D&D 5E (2024) Best 5.5 Mechanic They Should Use More IMHO

    If by "rampantly overused" you mean "used just as much as modifiers were in other editions" then I'd agree. While I don't disagree with you, I do think the game would be better served if Adv. was much more rare.

    D&D 5E (2024) Best 5.5 Mechanic They Should Use More IMHO

    Yes, that is what I was trying to emulate with my proposed revision to Magic Resistance in 5e.

    D&D 5E (2024) Best 5.5 Mechanic They Should Use More IMHO

    Yep, Archfiends typically had a good deal of MR in 1e. Demogorgon had 95%.

    D&D 5E (2014) Domains of the Valar

    I might suggest Forge for Melkor too. Or whatever corresponds to making terrific monsters!

    A version of this one: post #83 With a version of this explanation: post #11 I am busy this weekend, but plan to get this updated with version 4 next week.

    D&D 5E (2024) Best 5.5 Mechanic They Should Use More IMHO

    Here is the thread you are referring to: Magic Resistance: What was Old is New And to answer your question I have not playtested any of the methods yet. I actually haven't even revised the OP with my preferred method derived from the discussion in the thread!

    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    I don't think it was an issue of fairness, but what is fun. No one, PC or DM, likes to do nothing for a turn. That being said, this has never really been an issue for my group (for the PCs or DM).

    D&D 5E (2014) My Take on the Modron (Houserule)

    That was my thought as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) My Take on the Modron (Houserule)

    I was really wondering why multiple modrons of the same tier can't "help" each other.

    D&D 5E (2014) My Take on the Modron (Houserule)

    OK, that is not how I was understanding "swingy," but that makes sense. Follow up question: how do things like Bless or other modifiers work in the aura?

    D&D 5E (2014) My Take on the Modron (Houserule)

    I don't follow. If there is no die-roll, how can it be more swingy or swingy at all. It is the same on every roll. That seems like the opposite of swingy or am I missing something?

    D&D 5E (2014) My Take on the Modron (Houserule)

    I love the idea. My only question at this time is: why limit the group mind bonus to the higher CR modron? Is there a downside to giving any modron the benefit?

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I am always sad to see someone leave as well (and sometimes try to convince them to stay). I do not know who you are talking about, but I hope they find there way back. Once we realize we don't have to engage, I think the discussion becomes a lot easier.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    It is frustrating. I know it was a problem I have had before and worked to change. Now I generally try to take the attitude that, in most cases, people are only talking about their opinion even if they do not state that.

    D&D 5E (2024) Tiamat Unleashed

    I am just about finished with updating to the 2024 CR values and I have made a few other changes too. I am just having a hard time with the revised full Primoridal dragon version of Tiamat. Once I get that nut cracked I will post the updated PDF. PS - Welcome to EnWorld!

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Maybe, but @Micah Sweet did say: "...makes no sense to me..." They are clearly framing it from their perspective not a universal statement. And what is or is not verisimilitudinous is subjective of course. I don't think we need to defend our personal perspectives on this subject.
