    D&D 5E (2024) With Nick Weapon mastery do both weapons need to be nick to use it or only the first or only the 2nd?

    If you have Extra Attack then wouldn't you want to Vex/Nick as your first attack, then Vex/Nick as your second attack + bonus action?

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    Absolutely agree and I really hope Jorphdan can get WotC to get Youtube to rescind his copyright violation, that is so messed up

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    The watermark is right there with the name of who the copy was provided to, and it was not someone at GenCon

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    I don't know any industries where the company freely gives away samples of their product hoping to generate enthusiasm, but then turns around the next day and slaps them with legal repercussions for doing what they were asked to do in the first place. Protecting your copyrights is...

    I know I would've bought that for sure

    D&D 5E (2024) The Sorcerer 2024 is the strongest class.

    Interesting take, I guess I hadn't thought of it that way since every other class had their Optional rules from Tasha's incorporated into the 2024 PHB. The correct answer is that each DM decides what is valid at their table, and I was assuming that being left out of the 2024 PHB would doom it...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    A terrible-looking PDF of the entire 384-page book comprised of painstakingly cobbled together screenshots was already available online by Friday 5pm, and the link is still up for everyone to view. I get why WotC wants to protect their copyrights and fight against piracy, but this is really...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Sorcerer 2024 is the strongest class.

    Am I the only person in the world who cares that Magical Guidance was removed? That was soooo powerful, you basically got advantage on every important skillcheck you make. But I haven't seen a single guide or video even mention the fact that it's gone

    D&D 5E (2024) We can still get Bard, Paladin, Warlock, Ranger and Sorcerer spells through Fey Touched?

    Do you have a link for these? His videos on youtube don't have much info in them, he highlights a few random spells here and there but nothing comprehensive, and I didn't see anything on feats

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond Article on Crafting

    This example suggests that you are completely missing the point of what people want in a crafting system. I think we do have common ground that we can probably all agree that the crafting rules in the PHB are completely pointless and a waste of space, because yeah, crafting candles and other...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond Article on Crafting

    Because it's fun to create stuff, and greatly enhances the gaming experience. I don't know what to tell you, you can't explain why something is fun, it just is. The best answer I can give you is to point out the large number of people wanting crafting features to be added to the game, as...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond Article on Crafting

    Tons of people want crafting in DnD, as evidenced by the fact that dozens of 3pp variations on crafting rules exist and sell very well because many people like me buy them. Why do we want it? Because it's extremely fun and enhances the DnD game by a huge degree. Just because you don't see...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Spell Changes

    Is there a full list anywhere of what spells are in the PHB? I'm watching the JoeFudge videos about spell changes, but he doesn't mention unchanged spells

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond Article on Crafting

    Personally I'd go with Alchemist's Supplies.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond Article on Crafting

    Yeah so still going to be 3pp as the go-to for crafting rules.

    D&D General Lies, Darn Lies, and Statistics: Why DPR Isn't the Stat to Rule them All

    Oh oops, there isn't really a calculation you can use since any particular build needs to be evaluated for how well the assumptions would play out at your table with your particular DM I'd go with Colby's calculations at D4 Deep Dive as the gold standard, but even with the rigor he puts into...

    D&D General Lies, Darn Lies, and Statistics: Why DPR Isn't the Stat to Rule them All

    Oh I guess I mean 5e - seems like that would be true for any version since focus fire is a staple in basically every game ever, but as far as DnD goes I only have firsthand experience with 5e

    D&D General Lies, Darn Lies, and Statistics: Why DPR Isn't the Stat to Rule them All

    Nova Damage is what I typically see as the definitive theorycrafting metric to optimize around. Damage Per Round is a good metric if you want to build an OK character who provides solid contributions to the party without outshining other players. But if you want to actually optimize, Nova...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate crafting rules

    I use an amalgamation of 3pp rules from the Hamund's Harvesting books and Heliana's Monster Hunting books, mixed with some impromptu winging it for determining what items can be crafted with their harvested components

    D&D 5E (2024) How many of you would implement the drop to 0 HP, get 1 level of exhaustion house rule?

    Quite true but Healing Word yo-yo healing is also not the norm, and Venn diagram between players who utilize that advanced combat tactic and players optimizing their characters would likely show significant overlap.
