    D&D General What are the coolest/most innovative mechanics D&D could take from other games?

    There's a lot I like from Cypher but crits (its damage mechanics in general) and resting times would be a nice change for dnd. General Skills vs Advanced Skills found in Coriolis (~Arabian Nights Sci-Fi). The game has the following skills: General Skills: Dexterity, Force, Infiltration...

    What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Existed But Doesn't?

    A Final Fantasy ttrpg. My searching pulled up a few fan-made ones but I didn't see one that was official. Don't even bother messing around with movement and whatnot. When you are in a fight you play it out jrpg style. FFX, FFX-2, and FFXII are my personal favorites but you could make a basic...

    D&D 5E (2014) Need help with a High level Wizard Simulacrum Concept

    Maybe try Wizard 17, Warlock Pact of the Chain 3. With the Voice of the Chain Master invocation you can see and talk through your familiar as long as you are on the same plane of existence. Familiars can deliver touch spells. Simulacrum is a touch spell. Just give it a bag of holding with the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Should healing word require hit dice?

    I'm a fan of healing not being able to keep up with damage in an encounter. Any additional healing should limited to not mess with that. However, Dwarves with the Dwarven Fortitude feat haven't broken anything yet so we should be okay. I also really like the idea of having different kinds of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Playing non-healer clerics

    I DMed for a Life Cleric once (2016 I think) and it was impressive. The player wanted to be a healer focused cleric and absolutely nailed it. I've played a few clerics and none of them have been healer focused or expected to do a lot of healing. After a year or two I think we realized that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which D&D books currently scheduled for 2023 are you interested in?

    After looking up each of the releases I'm not particularly interested in any of them. Each one has pieces that I would like to check out, but that's not really enough anymore. I need something that has more of a wow factor or game changer. Keys From The Golden Vault isn't my normal type of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Getting Rid of Variable Weapon Damage- An Immodest Proposal

    D&D 5E (2014) Some thoughts on skills.

    Agreed. I know in 5e 'skill checks' are just a subsection of 'ability checks' but I'd prefer to get rid of ability checks and let 99% of rolls reside in either Skill, Attack, or Saving Throws. If we need to alter the list of skills to make this happen I am all for it. I rarely call for ability...
