    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    I'd love to see his reasoning on the walk back.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    Apologies for not reading all the thread, and perhaps repeating an idea, but I would have just quoted it and replied anyway. I'd rework bonus actions. In concept they are a thing that should feel like a bonus. In reality if you can reliably get one every turn they are so advantageous as to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) What about D&D 5e levels 21-30?

    CRs aren't equivalent to levels for a good reason. Fighting one monster of equivalent CR to the party's level is typically an Easy encounter. I've personally seen a party of 5 level 5 PCs wallop an Adult Black Dragon of CR 14 in its lair. Just crushed it. That's a Deadly encounter, an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should standing up from prone trigger opportunity attack?

    In my experience, one of the best ways to get a tactic to be more commonly used is to use it against the players. In your next combat with multiple melee enemies, have one of them shove a player prone so the next melee enemies all get advantage, or worse have one shove them prone and them...

    D&D General Do armor proficiencies make sense?

    Armor Proficiencies help players realize Fantasy Archetypes. The Knight in Shining Armor, the Barbarian in animal Hide, the robed Wizard. Oh I would tweak a few things but on the whole it's pretty good.

    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    I suppose that just means he doesn't understand the word "Sports". So perhaps he is more of a geek than I thought. Yay!

    [Skywalker discussion] What would "break" Star Wars for you?

    “[The next three Star Wars films] were going to get into a microbiotic world. But there’s this world of creatures that operate differently than we do. I call them the Whills. And the Whills are the ones who actually control the universe. They feed off the Force… If I’d held onto the company I...

    [Skywalker discussion] What would "break" Star Wars for you?

    Yeah this would do it for me. Also, the force being measurable by a test for tiny amounts of microscopic creatures... oh wait. While I'm tempted to rag on more prequel stuff I'll try to stay on the topic at hand. I'll simply sum up with this. I want the send off to feel fantastic and heroic...

    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    Anyway, I'm glad to see no more about this e-sports nonsense has materialized in the past year.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mythological Figures: General George Washington

    Of course not, but there are many myths about Washington. You addressed one yourself, wooden teeth. Cherry Tree is another myth. Being unhittable is one I recall reading a long time ago, but I can't cite a source, which is often true for myths. There's a whole host of other myths about...

    "And of course, they refer to meatbags as 'organics'. Unacceptable." ―HK-47 Probably the same reason I like voiceless protagonists in RPG video games over fully voiced ones. I get to write their backstories in my head.

    New Rise of Skywalker trailer

    He's a very believable type of evil. I also like him as a character, and love to make fun of Emo Kylo Ren.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are Your Table Rules?

    D&D 5E (2014) What are Your Table Rules?

    I'm pretty excited to try out my Half-Orc Ranger: Ker of the Tek'sas tribe. In battle he held his ground when others fled and earned the name "Wall" I wonder how many sessions it will take before the rest of the table realizes I made "Wall" Ker Tek'sas Ranger. Especially if I start saying stuff...

    Right there with you. I'll always think of Canderous Ordo when I think of Mandalorians. That guy lived for a good fight.
