    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Maybe bards get Prayer of Healing or something similar that lets a short rest occur in 10 minutes?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Many dancers use implements (instruments, maracas, and castanets). And don't focuses replace the need for non-costly material components? They may also sing or hum while they dance if they don't have other accompaniment. Some spread glitter or other materials with a flourish. But Mimes use...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #2: "New Fighter"

    Keep in mind that many of the other weapon classes have had their damage-increasing shticks altered to fit with the added Weapon mastery and the broader flexibility they've received. For instance, the Paladin's smite isn't the same as before, as it occurs less often, while their other abilities...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    Sure, some might be bored that the schools have been around for 40 years, but I like the schools. I'm glad they are still part of the Core rules. Another thing, this isn't a different game. If for nothing other than people playing using the 2014 PH wanting to translate their existing characters...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    The pure number of class abilities that 8 different subclasses contain in order to capture the theme of each school cannot fit into a single "Specialist Scholar" subclass. I tried. And if the abilities aren't different and interesting to create diverse playstyles, there is no reason to do it...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Have you seen how so many of take offense and get bristly about so many rules during times like these? Maybe the focus shouldn't be on the word "offended" and instead offered reasons why people vehemently don't like certain rules, but I don't currently have time to collect and recap what...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    I think some consider it offensive if Warlocks get 3 attacks, when all other non-Fighter warrior classes get 2. Rogues get 1.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    If Agonizing Blast changes to affect only 1 damage roll per casting, nerfing Cha-damage to all Eldritch Blasts, then Firebolt and Eldritch Blast would be comparable, but different. Eldritch Blast attacks will be able to be spread out, and Firebolt has one attack that crits harder due to all the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Collage of Dance Reveal

    Any pro-wrestlers, in my opinion. Being charismatic and creating a dynamic spectacle, hyping up the audience so that they are inspired to cheer for you...

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's call it 5.24

    I plan on referring to it as D&D. If someone asks what I'm playing, I will say D&D. If they ask what "edition" I am fine clarifying it as Revised 5E. I will never return to the 2000's-era abomination of a naming convention of "5 point-something."

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #4: "New Barbarian"

    My own "Wild Heart" barbarian died at level 9 last year, but I would have loved the recent design, so that I could have worked more like BraveStarr!

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    I 100% believe you are right! What an interesting way for a dwarf couple to portray their connection! However, does this mean this particular couple might never change their beards throughout a century+ of a relationship? :)

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    Yeah, maybe they are just nomadic, or are on some other journey. But why not a picnic or pilgrimage or a vacation? The art depicts a community in good spirits traveling with children. I like that this orc community finds joy in the wild, and aren't in a city or house.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    I mean "historical" Origin-wise, in the past. Before the violent adventuring. Maybe that isn't the right word, but I hope this clarifies what I intended.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    These pieces of art depict peaceful, diverse communities of said species because the art is in the Origins section of the book, just like the Background art depicts background locations. These depict how a scene might look if such characters were all gathered together, going about their day and...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    Do you have a DM that would lock you out? Or do you often play with random DMs? I hope that the custom backgrounds will be in the SRD/Basic Rules, and will therefore be freely accessible, and the only other possible limitation to consider is that it may need a toggle in DDB, if anything. I...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    Well, the Swashbuckler still exists as an option from previous sources. And some people will choose to implement the UA version (on paper character sheets, anyway).

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    Maybe even on Fireball damage rolls with the way the new Heroic Inspiration works? We still don't know if the roll is for one die, or one "roll" of dice.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: Feats/Backgrounds/Species

    That's great for a quicksheet. But it's not necessarily a good book experience, or new player experience to inspire character concepts.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    I love how magic is very prevalent in the art. They showcase fantasy civilizations populated by magical races embracing magic as part of their structure and cultures. And it doesn't look like it is all magitech, which I appreciate.
