    D&D 5E (2024) Is anyone at WOTC paying attention to what they print any more?

    This ability is identical in the 2014 Mind Flayer (except for the escape DC).

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Yesterday I got my copy of the Monster Manual for D&D 2024 (alternate cover). I had pre-ordered it back in September and I was told by the store manager that I was lucky, because their distributor had delivered far less copies than the amount that was ordered by the store.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Monster Manual (2025)

    My reading is that, in order to activate the trigger, the pudding must fulfill the first two conditions (being medium or large and having 10+ HPs), and either one of the last two (being bloodiend or struck by lightning).

    They get in trouble with law enforcement but in the end they are rescued by sympathetic lawyers. The legal eagles are coming!

    I've watched this great documentary only relatively recently and I immediately bought it on BR. If Jodorowsky had managed to create his movie (an actual impossibility, I think) it would have been completely crazy but also awesome, IMO.

    Nice, I didn't know that. Personally, when I re-started playing AD&D (about 20 years ago, now), I "smoothed out" the attack and saving throw tables and, later, I did the same for OSE.

    Evil Drow Statblocks to Return in Forgotten Realms Rulebooks Later This Year

    I'll have to take your word for it. It never occured to me that it wasn't a fancy piece of cardboard, but rather a book that I could read,

    Evil Drow Statblocks to Return in Forgotten Realms Rulebooks Later This Year

    Well, as long as we all agree that female orcs are genetically lawful evil and cannot exceed 18/75 strength, there should be no issues...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question for folks who use D&D Beyond: How well does it work with the new rules?

    Even though I feel that there are many things that could be improved, I find it an incredibly useful tool both as a player and as a DM. Furthermore, as you note, with less engaged players it is even more precious.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is anyone at WOTC paying attention to what they print any more?

    I think that it is actutally an oversight or an errata. Naturally, if instead the text reflects correctly the intent of the designers, that I agree with you.

    Not being fey myself, I could have never divined your intent.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is anyone at WOTC paying attention to what they print any more?

    I'm a bit dubious that they wanted to override the general rule about dex saves in this instance, but of course it is a possibility. In any event, as I prefer a con save to end the effect, that's what I will personally go with.

    Jeremy Crawford Interview: The Monster Manual and More

    Vampires disengaging as a bonus action is a cool idea, but I wonder why only spawns and familiars have this power.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question for folks who use D&D Beyond: How well does it work with the new rules?

    I've just checked the campaign that I'm in and I can see all the legacy spells so far.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's a Yugoloth?

    Your general point is well-taken, but I think it likely that ghasts were inspired by the lovecraftian creatures found in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    The purpose of mods is not to be popular, but rather to help the owners/admins of a forum realize their vision for the forums, IMHO.

    D&D General Hold Back the Dead - Free Digital D&D Adventure Coming 4th Feb

    Nice, but I feel that they should provide a little discount to those who pre-order and shell out the zero dollars in advance.
