    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball Vs Chromatic Orb Late Tier 2 Thoughts.

    Nah. Fireball does exactly what it should do. People looked at 8d6 and said: that must be overpowered. If definitions are C = situationally extremely powerful. Then C seems right. But by this definition most spells are. Misty step? I'd rate it A tier. But if people get close to you, someone...

    D&D General Gladiator = Weapon Master

    Actually I like power tied to different stats. Here I strongly agree. Or better: every class has their own proficiency bonus entry. For a while, usages were tied to proficiency bonus. Nothing would have been easier than just adding following entry to multiclass rules: If a class gives you an...

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    No, I am sorry. Should have used emoticons to confer the joke better. Hope you find sleep soon.

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    Maybe if you start now, you would be able to reach 4th level. With 2024 rules, Characters are a bit more sturdy at low levels. Sorry, was a joke. Me too. Again. Just a joke.

    D&D General Tucker's Kobolds: worth using in 5e?

    Yes, zone effects are nasty. But against them, just wait until they run out.

    D&D General Tucker's Kobolds: worth using in 5e?

    I think Tucker's Kobolds are more alive than ever. Due to bounded accuracy, and the way movement works in 5e, Kobolds can come out of small holes attack PCs and back out again. And readying actions allow only single attacks or cantrips (or the risk of losing a big spell). I guess, a DM could...

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    That is strange. All my groups actually reached that level. Maybe show us your characters sheets. Someone here could probably help you building them in a way that makes them able to survive a few encounters. How can you see characters reach 4th level if they started at level 5 or 6... Do you...

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Subclasses that have a growing creature as their pet is just not working: Characters tend to level up once every in game week or month at most... Actually sometimes one level a day. So the dragon grows from little to ancient in just a few days. So the solution is just a summoned pet that...

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    I still think it is weirdly phrased.

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    @mearls I have a question about the sorcerer subclass: Several abilities reference spells cast with the inner darkness feature. There is no inner darkness feature. Only inner darkness spells. So it seems something is missing here. Or does it just mean: cast with your spell slots.

    D&D 5E (2024) So what's going on with the October book?

    And still your answer was terrible. He just told about people he knows. I think your data about people he knows is way worse. Or do you know all people who he knows? That would be very terrifying...

    D&D 5E (2024) Dissonant Whispers vs Command in high level play on a melee character.

    Which is not there anymore. But jumping off a cliff seems out of scope for a first level spell. I think moving by the fastest available means refers to the fastest speed. So of a monster has move 5ft, fly 60ft, it flies

    D&D 5E (2024) Paizo Abomination Vaults on Dndbeyond!

    They were never on really bad terms as far as I know.

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    I like the banneret. Even though the level 3 ability is a bit of a nerf compared to the 2014 subclass used with the 2024 fighter, the whole idea of using second wind to rally your allies is nice. Only problematic thing: the battlemaster also gets a skill proficiency and can do nearly the same...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    Just read on reddit, that it now only affects cha mod persons and on 30ft and only 1/short rest. So it is somehow worse than using the SCAG subclass with 5.24 rules...

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    So it resembles the SCAG banneret more. The former level 3 ability was up to 3 allies regain fighter level hp. 1d4 extra and all allies seems a decent boost. Especially when you consider that the fighter starts with 2 to 4 uses of second wind per day instead of 1. Also royal envoy seems to...

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    That is a weird hill to die on. Lets just agree to disagree here.
