    How important is it to you or your players for characters to feel "overpowered"?

    I wrote this before I read further down and saw OP's comment clarifying that this question is really about combat scenarios: I think in situations that suit my class's specialties, it is important that my character feels powerful. "Shoot your monks" I guess, but it's more than just combat. I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual 2025 Aberrations & Oozes Video

    As someone whose party is currently trying to find a demon and save possessed townsfolk: getting to use all these spells is really cool. My -1 INT cleric normally doesn't get to reveal anything about weird happenings, but when it involves some out-of-plane nasty he turns into a Terminator.

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual 2025 Aberrations & Oozes Video

    BG3 patched in a lot of interesting epilogue content for that deals with the ambiguity of Mind Flayer individuality and humanity. Example: Midway through the game, a god observes that Mind Flayers have no soul. But in one of the patched epilogues, Another example is the epilogue where I...

    D&D 5E (2014) The "General Nature" of a Trap

    If I need to find a physical trap or glyph I'll just cast Resistance on our toughest party member and make them run around. 😂 Which leaves the use case for this Level 2(!!) spell to find where an Alarm is attached- oh wait, it doesn't tell me where the Alarm is so I can Dispel Magic on it...

    D&D General Players: Do You Care From Whence Your DM Gets His Monsters/Challenges?

    Hypothetically no. I do wish my DM would spend fewer hours trying to fully customize monsters that our party then immediately destroys. I feel like it burns him out. But he's been doing it for years, so I guess it's what he wants.

    D&D General Your Character Died! Who's Fault Was It?

    My Level 9 party is in a flooding sewer, escorting a group of orphaned children to the surface before they drown. The BBEG's lieutenant is in the sky above us, summoning monsters all around the city. As we are helping the children, a beholder appears! When this happens, some of us (including my...

    D&D General A Quick Peek At Tiamat In Amazon's 'Secret Level' Anthology TV Show

    This is exactly how the Polymorph user in my party behaves, so I thought it was very realistic.

    D&D General Questions about comissioning art

    Open a Bluesky account and utilize a ttrpg artist starter pack to begin following artists. Artists will have their commission info on a separate site, but you can use social media to find them and see examples of their work. Note that most artists negotiate pricing and availability differently...

    D&D 5E (2024) So how do you remove disease in 5E 2024?

    Posting a few more Cleric spells since I feel like some of the current direction stems from someone staring really hard at 2014 Contagion text and possibly 2014 Raise Dead. But what I would like to see is the 2024 DMG section on Diseases (or Contagions, since the word disease seems entirely...

    D&D 5E (2024) Dungeon Master's Guide Bastion System Lets You Build A Stronghold

    2024 Player's Handbook Officially Live on D&D Beyond

    This was my immediate thought when I saw that my 2014 Cleric has access to the 2024 free rules spells, but those spells aren't properly attached to my 2014 subclass as Always Prepared (ex. Bless below). Because I've homebrewed a spell in Beyond before, I know that to get it as a subclass...

    2024 Player's Handbook Officially Live on D&D Beyond

    They know it's an issue but they don't have an ETA on fixing it. There's a pretty long list of both new features and unsupported features on this post: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/204813-players-handbook-issues-and-support-thread Some of them they say...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5.24e New Cleric

    I had hoped they would change how it works so it doesn't rely on a bunch of OOC discussion, but I guess it's fine. And if there's Undead that get hurt by it, good!
