    D&D 5E (2024) What innovative elements from Baldur's Gate 3 would you like to see implimented in 2024 D&D?

    This is the main reason I have yet to buy the game. I know as soon as I buy it, my 11 year old daughter is going to want to play it and I don't know if there's a way to turn this stuff off. We'll have to stick to Solasta, where we can each create 2 characters in the party and play it together.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    I still say CON would make sense for a Sorcerer's casting stat. After all, your magical power comes from within your body. As for Warlocks, I never had a problem with them being CHA based since they gain their spellcasting by pleading with a Patron to give them power. Persuasion checks use...

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

    I'm certainly no expert in polling, but it seems like, rather than using "Dissatisfied, Slightly Dissatisfied, Slightly Satisfied, and Satisfied," they should have gone with "Dissatisfied, Needs Revision, Needs Minor Tweak, Satisfied." That would clear up some of the confusion as to what the...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    Or they could go back to the old method where, once you take a second class, you had to keep levelling the second class until you had the same number of levels in each class. And, thereafter, neither class could be more than one level higher than the other. That would certainly fix the dipping...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Will They Fix Warlock Spellcasting Issues?

    Gaze of Two Minds only works on humanoids. I'm pretty sure there is nothing in the Conjure X or Summon Y spells that would be considered humanoid. Even fey creatures, like Dryads, are specifically listed as "fey," not "humanoid (fey)."

    D&D 5E (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

    Most people don’t realize that MacGyver was a Ranger ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

    I think a better example than dropping a preset bear trap on the ground would be improvising a snare on the spot. That seems like an ability that would be Ranger exclusive (or maybe shared with the Druid, or a specific Druid subclass).

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 6 Survey is Open

    Groups don’t need to use the ‘24 Species. They can combine the ‘14 Races with the’24 Classes. Or so I keep hearing…

    D&D 5E (2024) Does WotC view the Monk class as overtuned from their perspective?

    Move Heightened Metabolism up to Level 5 🤷‍♂️ It's not so much a replacement, as it is a power shift.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does WotC view the Monk class as overtuned from their perspective?

    Just a completely off-the-cuff thought: take Stunning Strike away from the base Monk and give it to the Warrior of the Hand as one of its "Open Hand Technique" options.

    D&D 5E (2024) Change multiclassing prerequisites?

    I can't speak for everybody here, but I don't work for WOTC, so there isn't much I can do. Besides, if I did work for WOTC, I would push for them to eliminate multiclassing altogether. And that would make me a very unpopular person.

    D&D 5E (2024) Oh Ye of Little FAITB

    I have no problem with BIFTs. I find them useful for players who aren't good at, or just struggle at, roleplaying. Some players make choices when they create their character as to how that character will behave. But once the campaign starts, they inadvertently revert back to their own...

    D&D 5E (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

    This is from page 64 of the PHB, the fourth paragraph under Druid:

    D&D 5E (2024) Subclasses

    My favorite dark Fighter is the Doom Knight, which is based on the WoW Death Knight (but that is already a creature in the Monster Manual), that I made and am currently playtesting.

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 6 Survey is Open

    One thing I don't like about these surveys is the vagueness of some questions. For example, they have us rate "Spellcasting." What about spell casting am I rating? How the slots are doled out? Spells Known vs Spells Prepared? Class Lists vs Arcane/Divine/Primal? Full caster vs Half Caster...

    D&D 5E (2024) How long should a Short rest be in 5E(2024)?

    My gut reaction was 30 minutes (so I said "Other duration") because that's how long my lunch break is at work, which is plenty of time for me to eat and relax a bit before getting back to work. That's basically what I equate Short Rests with in D&D - stopping to have a bite to eat and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Monks Are Not Tanks And Shouldn’t Be

    Are those Feat Chains or Feat Combos? I thought Feat Chains were more like Two-Weapon Fighting -> Improved Two-Weapon Fighting -> Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, where Feat B requires Feat A and Feat C requires Feats A & B.

    Oh crap! I finished the survey last night and I just remembered I wanted to recommend adding WIS modifier to the Monk's Discipline Points :(

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest Packet 6: They knocked Druid out of the Park

    Not all Monstrosities are created equal. Some are really out there, while others are similar to regular Beasts. An owl is a beast and a bear is a beast, so an owlbear isn't that crazy. I could also see a Druid wild shaping into a Griffon, a Death Dog, or a Shadow Mastiff. But things like...
