    D&D General DnD Stereotypes In The Home Game

    I have no problem with Kender. The problem lies in the Player who wants to play a Kender. That guy probably won't work at my table no matter what he wants to play.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Errata Nerf Unarmed Strikes!? WHY??? :(

    I found the easiest thing to do with the current rules including errata is introduce magic items that effect unarmed strikes. This evens the playing field with other martial classes using weapons. Bloody Knuckles, spiked gauntlets, wrist blades are mundane weapons and can be effected by Magic...

    Critical Role Wendy’s sponsoring Critical Role?

    I used to love wendy's as a teen. Not as much these days (and I still eat entirely too much fast food) Still I think this is neat.

    D&D 5E (2014) Berserker is balanced with Zealot without exhaustion from Frenzy

    Mindless Rage and Retaliation are really awesome. I wish Retaliation had been the level 3 feature and frenzy bumped up to a later level.

    D&D General DnD Stereotypes In The Home Game

    Stout Halflings are a little hobbity but that's as far as I've gone with any of these. The one I often get is if I'm playing a barbarian he must be stupid, despite the fact that he speaks, reads, and writes in 3 different languages.

    Alternatively, I love a good Barbarian with Tavern Brawler.

    Apropos of nothing in the thread, this makes me want to toss a gaming table into the Boston harbor.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Errata Nerf Unarmed Strikes!? WHY??? :(

    Perhaps not, but I do know people who what to cast Magic Weapon on the claws of a Druid in Brown Bear form. I do tell them that has no effect because while "Claw" is a melee weapon attack the claws themselves are "natural weapons" not a "weapon". So I do appreciate the clarity provided the...

    Do you have any class? The class discussion thread (Paladins and Warlocks and Clerics, OH MY!!

    If their power now derives specifically from their Oath, divinity may not apply to all these "divine warriors". Perhaps "Oathsworn"?

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Errata Nerf Unarmed Strikes!? WHY??? :(

    First edition of the 5E PHB had unarmed strikes in the weapons table. I've still got it on my shelf.

    Do you have any class? The class discussion thread (Paladins and Warlocks and Clerics, OH MY!!

    Oftentimes it's better to have a bad movie than a mediocre one. Bad ones at least get talked about.

    Look I love anti-paladin rhetoric as much as the next guy, but you better lay off us paste eaters. Such a good boy!

    So, I hate pdfs. Any advice on hating them less?

    I like the big tablets for running interactive character sheets too. But I don't have much use for them beyond that. Currently anyway.

    So, I hate pdfs. Any advice on hating them less?

    I'm not a big fan of PDFs either, and I read ebooks all the time. I think I'm angry that electronics versions of RPG books haven't gone far enough. What I want is a wiki. Hyperlinks so when I click on a spell name I get the spell. DnD Beyond has spoiled me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Berserker is balanced with Zealot without exhaustion from Frenzy

    After almost 2 years of gathering dust. Arise forgotten thread! Arise! On topic. I'm actually probably going to play a Berserker in Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus. VHuman with Tavern Brawler. Most of the time I'll try to throw a punch or swing a barstool then bonus action grapple. Then I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Archetypes to add to 5e

    Preach it! Every session I have to explain how many attacks the party Fighter gets to that player, and why it changes when switching from 2 Axes to a Longbow. As soon as I say Attack action, extra attack, or bonus action the eyes just glaze over.
