I run mostly 1-20 campaigns. So “mid level” is around level 10 for my group.

Both. Depends on the encounter.

Having played a Moon Druid in both 2014 and now for a few sessions in 2024, the 2024 rules are definitely better for Moon Druids but the way they play has definitely changed. 2024 Moon Druids need to be casting spells. Either precasting stuff like Spiked Growth or Conjure Minor Elementals, or...

Update to this, ran a hard encounter for my group yesterday and TPK’d them. Tier 1-2 monsters are no joke. Looking forward to trying the higher CR creatures in the future.

Just make the Necromancer the pet class for the Wizard. At 3rd give them an undead minion they can enhance as they level up and supplement with other undead summoning spells to build an undead army, with their original minion as the general.

I’d love a Psion class that is a mix of Artificer and Warlock. Instead of magic items or invocations, give them a selection of Psionic Disciplines in the main class to supplement limited magic capabilities, and have the subclasses focus on major enhancements to a Cantrip as their core feature...

I run three games. All of them have fully shifted to 2024 and we are loving it. Players like the new toys, and the new monsters hit like a truck now. Ran a “medium” 2024 encounter and a “hard” 2014 one in my last session, and the players said they felt much more threatened by the medium...

I know when I was a new DM, I was not concerned with making up a lot of those details. My friends and I were concerned with getting the plot hook, and then going through encounters one after another. And we had a great time. As I grew, so did my games. And that’s ok. A new DM shouldn't be...

I have run The Fouled Stream, Miner Difficulties, and The Winged God for my group. I had a great time and the players all enjoyed themselves. I haven’t found them to be difficult to run or hard to string together into any form of plot, at least no more difficult than any other one shot put out...

If your party has 500 days and 20,000 GP per person to craft 10 rings of resistance, the DMs not giving y’all enough to do and probably handing out too much gold 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think they changed it because charm as a condition is less fun to play against for the party than just more damage. Especially on a monster that can charm so many targets for free over and over again. Now, I wish they still had the spell as a more limited casting option, maybe 2/day or...

I play in the Realms. One of my players fell in love with BG3. Since then, she has become more and more an expert of the Realms lore as she explores books in her free time. So yes, now thanks to BG3 I have to deal with her correcting me all the time 😂

It should be noted the Monster Manual defines “Humanoid” as this: “Humanoids are people defined by their roles and professions, such as mages, pirates, and warriors. They include members of varied species.” So yes, they didn’t want humanoid to be species specific, but role specific. Hence the...

Some of the previews have shown a few creatures red have ties to Bloodied. I want to say Troll regeneration does, but I can’t remember exactly.

Can you give a quick glance to the lore sections for Lizardfolk and Aarokocra? Is there any explanation for why they got changed?

This is assuming the FR book is keeping Modern Day as it has been. For all we know they could be pushing the timeline forward.

That’s a decision you’re making as a DM. Their argument is based on the rarity of the items in the DMG. It’s not their fault you’re making one rare item less rare than another.

Tarkir could honestly make a lot of sense. Path of the Dragon Tempest Barbarian Circle of the Wastes Druid Warrior of the Ascendant Dragon Monk Dragon Patron Warlock I could definitely see them being present there if that is the October book.

That is also WotC's definition. Clearly Goblins are still core, they are in the Monster Manual. They just are not core PLAYER options. That is why they did not get the Orc treatment.

As a PC Species, it is fact. Orc are one of the 10 species in the PHB. The PHB, DMG, and MM are the three core books and have always been designated as such. If an option is not in one of those books, it is not part of that editions core rules. Anything added beyond the Core rules, like in...
