    D&D 5E (2014) Subclasses or Feat Trees? Pros and Cons.

    I've had good success with feat trees. 1st Feat - Know three spells (1st, 2nd, 3rd level) that are a part of that tradition 2nd Feat - Know two spells (often 4th, 5th, but sometimes lower ones) and a pertinent technique 3rd Feat - Know one spell (often 6th, maybe higher or lower) and a...

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    However, the showrunners and writers aren't allowed to use the Silmarillion. In fact, I seem to remember that the story must be different. So, the istari wandering in the wastes isn't one of the Blue wizards because they're only mentioned in the Silmarillion. Now, Saruman does mention "the Five...

    D&D 5E (2014) Resale of BG3 Collectors Editions Going For $3,000 angering a BG3 Dev

    If it bothers the dev that much, have the company release the limited aspect to every purchaser. I mean, really. This is a natural consequence of artificial scarcity. There are people who have enough money to drop $20k+ on a custom made knife. Why would virtual assets be any different...

    D&D 5E (2024) Do players really want balance?

    No argument there! I heavily favor wizards on the rare chances I get to play. But, should I have the opportunity to play 5e (of whatever stripe) I have a powerful urge to play a premiere archer based on the fighter class. Not a ranger, not multiclassing, just pure fighter who is an archer /...

    D&D 5E (2024) Do players really want balance?

    Pretty sure that was explicitly stated in an interview, somewhere. Seemed pretty obvious to me, anyway.

    D&D 5E (2024) Do players really want balance?

    Where would I find a listing of those in general?

    D&D 5E (2024) Do players really want balance?

    I don't think players want balance so much as to be not overshadowed. People don't want to come to the game and watch an episode of "The Lee Show" because he's got enough power that everyone else is superfluous. I have found that this is different from one player having a bit stronger...

    Twilight of the Gods

    I found it an enjoyable, earthy tale. There are some choices I would have made differently, but I liked the story overall.

    D&D General Vanity Frankenstein 5E: My homebrew D&D project [+]

    I understand completely. When I made my bespoke PHB I left out the monk and a couple other classes as I was focusing on two new ones for myself. I've since included it, but it's been a while since then.

    D&D General Vanity Frankenstein 5E: My homebrew D&D project [+]

    I find it interesting that you don't have a Circle of the Sun for druids. Is that mainly a clerical theme for you? Also no fae pact. Do the druids have a stronger connection?

    D&D General Class based off animated music video

    I think with current D&D a paladin might be a good choice. I would customize it a bit with background and feat choices to allow him to be viable in medium armor and more athletic. So, proficient in STR and DEX abilities like a thief. I'm not sure how a multiclass Pal/Rog would work, and I tend...

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    Actually, it was an inventive science fantasy setting. Human explorers found a planet with an ecosphere and expanded. Later, Humans sent a recall telling everyone to come home. Many didn't. Supply ships stopped coming with the assumption that Earth was no more. This was a problem as humans...

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    I know, my friend. It pains me, too. Also, I was horrified when I first heard that term. "That's taking the sweet / savory mix just a bit too far!"

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    Are the blue wizards mentioned at all in the LotR? Or just obliquely in Saruman's comment to Gandalf?

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    Skyrealms of Jorune by Leker is what you're trying to recall, I think. ;)

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    Now that you mention it, the only explicitly racially multicultural cities I can think of are Sigil and ... the Eberron city with the floating towers.

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    I don't know what you mean by tiers in this context, beyond perhaps size. Do you have a reference for this that I can read up on?

    D&D General Greek, Roman, or Greco-Roman Gods

    For me it would depend on how significant the Titans would be. I remember reading a bit about the Titans from a Greek perspective, but never really from a Roman one (save Saturn). If there was going to be interactions with the Nordics, Celts, and Egyptians, I would probably go with Roman as...

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    Very humanocentric, but humans, dwarves, and halflings are all considered "human". As human as we would consider Neanderthals and Denisovians, anyway.
