    D&D 5E (2024) Class spell lists and pact magic are back!

    Coming in twelve pages late with my two proverbial cents. Considering that 5e is the most popular edition of D&D by a very, very wide margin, why would anyone expect that the new revision would make radical changes? Why would anyone even want that? If you want 5e changed that much, then 5e...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I would make my own joke about grappling rules in 3e, but I don't have any of the seven feats that are prerequisite for jesting about it.

    D&D General Monk: The Past, Present, and Questionable Future of an Iconic Class

    I don't want to get off-topic, but if point buy is a minority of campaigns, that's news to me. I think literally every 5e game in which I've ever played used point buy.

    D&D General Monk: The Past, Present, and Questionable Future of an Iconic Class

    In addition to losing their ribbons, monks are also in danger of losing their flavor. I realize why the "Eastern mysticism" of the monk can be problematic, but replacing "ki points" with "discipline points" feels like a serious bland-ification. Maybe they could call it fury points? Energy...

    Seriously? This infuriates me. You can't conjure something out of existence.

    I think it should be called Paladin's Smite of the Paladin Which is a Paladin Ability of the Paladin Class. Or just Smite. One or the other of those.

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Document: 77 Pages, 7 Classes, & More!

    Funny. I expected the monk to get a radical overhaul and rogue (which seemed fine as is) to change very little. Instead monk hasn't been changed that much and rogue gets a shocking new suite of abilities. Not that I'm complaining about rogue. Cunning Strike is the fix I didn't know I needed...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 will now be releasing August 3rd on PC and September 6th on PS5, increased level cap, race & class details and more

    They're just comparing the number of options and the complexity, not implying this game is DOS3. Virtually everything they're announcing here is straight out of the 5e rules.

    First impressions of the new druid: Thank God that they undid replacing wild shapes with generic bags of hit points. That was a deal-breaker. Going back to using monster stat blocks means that druid will remain the most complicated class, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing...

    Paizo News: PaizoCon Online Wrap Up

    First: Paizo isn't coming to your house and deleting the drow from the books you already own. (At least we hope not. I'm sure the Pinkertons would take that job). But more importantly, Paizo is doing this because they feel they have no choice. Maybe that's true and maybe it isn't; I'm not a...
