    D&D 5E (2014) New class niche?

    Bring back the Binder, even though they merged some of the things about the Binder into Warlock. But the concept of a class with variable abilities that they can change every short or long rest would be an interested.

    D&D 5E (2024) [Houserule] If Sabre was a new weapon type, what should it's mastery property be?

    I've always had the idea that Sabre is a weapon that's very much like the Rapier. That it's a weapon that's bigger than a Cutlass (which I'll say is the "same thing" as a Scimitar) and can be wielded with speed and precision: Martial Melee (One-handed) Damage: 1d8 Slashing Properties: Finesse...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Direct Will Talk About Project Sigil & Future of D&D on Aug 27th

    I think Dark Sun is still viable, because it's a campaign setting about how Defiling / Climate Change has ruined the world, bringing about some apocalypse for it's post-apocalyptic setting. Last time I checked, the world is still getting ruined by Climate Change.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Direct Will Talk About Project Sigil & Future of D&D on Aug 27th

    I've been told that the Tablelands and surrounding area in Athas isn't bigger than Texas (or perhaps it was some other smaller American state). That means there's a very small part of an entire world that hasn't even been explored. There's certain people like the Nikaal that come from unknown...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Direct Will Talk About Project Sigil & Future of D&D on Aug 27th

    The complaints about Planescape was it didn't have as much detail on the Planes as much as the entire product line of Planescape, which I think is a silly one since it's only 1 product that was released and it has perhaps a little more detail on the Sigil and the Outlands than the original boxed...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Multiverse in the 2024 Players Handbook

    Acid never fit well with Earth, but it is what they came up with in 3e, Bludgeoning damage is probably more appropriate but there has traditionally been balance concerns over that. In the past Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing were only resisted in attacks, and rarely resisted in spells and...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Direct Will Talk About Project Sigil & Future of D&D on Aug 27th

    I'll see if we get more in the "Future of D&D" beyond "Here's some more details from the DMG!". It feels like they need to at least hint about where the 7 excluded subclasses from the 2014 PHB might end up, and common concerns like "What about the Artificer" and popular things from previous...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Multiverse in the 2024 Players Handbook

    Some of 2e's Guide to the Ethereal Plane was about Dreamscapes, they devoted a bunch of pages to a Dreamscape called Anavaree which was centered around this adult woman in a stasis pod of a crashed spaceship, who was dreaming of this fantasy world as a little girl. The Astral Plane has shifted...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Multiverse in the 2024 Players Handbook

    Traditionally in D&D there haven't been too many varieties of natives to the Ethereal Plane, a lot of it has been Incorporeal Undead, a Humanoid species called the Nathri which never had the same appeal as the Gith, Phase Spiders, the annoying Ethereal Filcher and the Ethergaunt which probably...

    You know there's also a thing called a tape measure that you can use, assuming it's the 1 Inch = 5 feet scale. Use a mini tape measure that's flexible.

    D&D 5E (2024) Command is the Perfect Encapsulation of Everything I Don't Like About 5.5e

    It also might be weaker in other languages, like "1 word" might make it weak in Chinese (I don't think there's a Chinese version, but theoretically if there was) since maybe the standard expectations of what Command might do, is a phrase that generally requires at least 2 words/characters to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Command is the Perfect Encapsulation of Everything I Don't Like About 5.5e

    Someone pointed out that Command if it allowed any single word, might be even more powerful in some of the non-English international versions of D&D.

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    Sort of disappointing as that made the Necromancer hard to play with having to do more than 10 actions on their turn, though I'd have to see what happens when that subclass gets revised in some later book, they might go all in on Summon Undead with the Necromancer.

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    How does Animate Dead work now? Is it still the same where you can create 13 Skeletons or Zombies with a 9th level slot? Or is it a spell with a single statblock creature like a bunch of the Summon spells? Has it being replaced by Summon Undead? Or has it become more like the Conjure spells...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Players Handbook: Cleric rules are culturally inclusive

    In my mind some Priests if they have PC class levels can be Bards, Druids, Paladins, Wizards and even Fighters or Rogues. I'd guess that'll probably be someone who picked the Acolyte Background as an Origin.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Players Handbook: Cleric rules are culturally inclusive

    Planescape back in 2e had non-theistic Clerics, the most obvious one being the Clerics of the Athar faction. But they also described the Believers of the Source (now part of the Mind's Eye in post Faction War 2e and PS 5e) as having such Clerics. And at least one Herald of the Dust (Dustman in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    I haven't seen the spiritual weapon art so all I have to go with is the Hill Goliath with glasses in the group picture.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Spell Changes

    I suspect when they revise the Bladesinger the AC calculation might be more like that of Monks, College of Dance Bards and Barbarians as 10 + Int Mod + Dex Mod, with no stacking with Mage Armor or anything like that and always active. Still could be potentially high, but not ridiculously high.

    Does the spell list for Bards have spells for 6th level and above? Someone felt most of them would be unnecessary to list such spells if Bards can learn any Wizard, Cleric or Druid spell once they get magical secrets.

    Project Sigil Project Sigil Updates: D&D's 3d Virtual Tabletop

    I think there were times where my character was represented by a Blood Angel Space Marine.
