I would agree with @Vael. According to UA7, Primal Knowledge says, “whenever you make an ability check using one of the following skills…” Making an ability check is “active,” not “passive.”

I have mini dry erase whiteboards for the players to keep track of their HP and THP, as well as any temporary conditions. Also, since I play with 2 12yo and an 11yo, I fill out the paper character sheets since I can write smaller.

I think it's just a societal change in general. Without getting into any (potentially off-topic) specifics, a lot of things that, when I was growing up in the 80's, were considered either "taboo" or "uncool" are now gaining public acceptance. In terms of D&D specifically, when I was younger it...

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

I can only assume @CreamCloud0 meant the 3e Buckler which was a small shield that strapped to one’s arm

D&D was created in 1974, so Clerics aren’t even 50 years old yet. In 15 years, when they’re 65, then they can retire. Honestly, if they had saved up more money rather than giving alms to the poor, they probably could have retired earlier. But they clearly didn’t have a good financial advisor...

Or maybe create a new type called Hybrid Beast. But that wouldn’t be backwards compatible with 2014

I have a thought, but there’s no simple way to translate it into a rule without adding a new creature type. In addition to Beasts, I think Druids should be able to change into Monstrosities that are comprised of other Beasts. For example: YES Tressym - a cat with bird wings Owlbear - half...

The list of spells that can be cast while Wildshaped reminds me a lot of the Moonkin form from WoW. It’s a very popular Druid build in that game, so that may be where WotC got their inspiration.

I’m willing to bet that the Monk Weapons list isn’t supposed to say “melee” at all, and its inclusion is just a typo. It is probably meant to match their Weapon Proficiencies, but they couldn’t just say “which are the weapons with which you are proficient” because of multiclassing issues.

Power Word Fortify - unless I’m missing something, it says it fortifies up to six creatures. Which means you can distribute it evenly, or you can just slap all 120 thp on the tank.

YES! This worked perfectly*. Now I can enjoy the wonderful story-line of BG3, with all the customization of Solasta. Maybe, for Larian's next endeavor, they can make Icewind Dale 3 and we'll be able to create our entire parties without all these backdoor shenanigans. *I did have to hunt...

I haven't been following this thread because i hadn't yet beaten the game and didn't want spoilers. But now that I've beaten it and want to start a new campaign, I see this post and am curious how to go about creating a party of only PCs. Is there some mod that allows it for single player, or...

I have no "official" ruling on this. But I would say that, as a Monk, your body parts (fists, feet, elbows, knees, forehead) ARE your weapons and, therefore, would qualify. I assume that's also why your unarmed strikes are considered weapon attacks in the first place. But I'm also a very...

I’m starting to second guess my decision. Maybe I’ll stick with something simpler until I have more DMing experience and the girls have more playing experience.

Sorry for the thread necro, but I a quick question pertaining to Call of the Netherdeep. I was considering running it for my daughter and her friends since it's just collecting dust on my bookshelf. But, being a fledgling DM, I thought the whole "rivals" thing might be a little too complicated...

For the record, I had never heard of "FAST," "Plex," or "Freevee" until this thread was created. With those technological limitations in mind, would somebody be able to inform this old geezer if Plex is something I can access on my Smart TV, or is it an online streaming platform only? I...

With it being the 50th anniversary, they could add some more gold to the design.

There is a live play called The Dungeon Run in which one of the players (Morgan Peter Brown) plays an Echo Knight Fighter (Valcorio) in their Campaign 2.

Reminds me of Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk. I don’t know if this happens for everyone else, but somebody somewhere injects ads into the podcast. But they clearly don’t listen to the podcast to determine where to insert them. So they wind up cutting off Morrus, Peter, and Jessica in...
