    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    Okay, so a wizard gains two spells per level, plus an extra once every other class level (when gaining a new spell level to cast) that is from their specialty. Not jazzed by it, and it turns into one less thing to spend money on, maybe. (And thanks for the speedy reply!)

    It's not? That's a relief. Could you explain what he meant?

    D&D General What magic potion do you dump into the local water supply?

    Gives a new meaning to "I'm pretty short. My legs barely reach the ground!" Nice! A village whose residents die only of accident or old age. Very old age. It could become quite the resort town. Reminds me of Mutant, by Henry Kuttner. You might have some who become benevolent semi-hive minded...

    I'm impressed you were able to make her forehead symbol as consistent as you did.

    I'd buy it.

    D&D General Favourite Outer Plane?

    Hard to say... I've written adventures for the Abyss, Ysgard, and Acheron. Of the three, the most interesting was Acheron, but the most fun was Ysgard. I'm particularly fond of Acheron, except for the cube business. Having Elysium be the setting of an adventurous morality play, particularly in...

    D&D General How To Work an Ant Death Spiral into a Campaign?`

    In the Arduin Grimore there is a phenomenon known as the helltide. This is when giant army ants decide to swarm and go "that a way". I can imagine that, either before or after the town in its path is eaten, a terrible rainstorm washes away the trail, and now they just circle the town. Flight or...

    D&D General [+] Players, what do you like about railroads?

    I enjoy railroads as long as I don't perceive the rails. I had a friend who made some great adventures, and it was really logical how our choices lead to the next stage. However, the DM was really good at presenting to us the 2-3 most likely choices we would chose, and have those lead to the...

    D&D General What is the right amount of Classes for Dungeons and Dragons?

    One way is breadth and level of control. The Guild of Summoners teaches a plethora of common and expected otherworldly creatures- elementals, other-dimensional humanoids, &c. Concentration is required for control of any summoning. Disciples of the Pallid Emperor learn some summoning...

    D&D General What is the right amount of Classes for Dungeons and Dragons?

    For me, it's option 1, where the summoner calls a creature and while it is active the magician is concentrating. The caster trades their actions for a different set of actions and capabilities- the creature's. There are circumstances where the magician can, for example, summon a flying...

    Indeed, they're both right, in a way.

    D&D 5E (2014) Escaping from (rope) bonds... What is your ruling?

    Sure. If you're a rogue of 5th level or higher you just get out. Unless the ropes were tied by a rogue of similar level, then the check would be necessary.

    D&D General lightning-themed environment?

    At baseline it's tropical. There is a semi-permanent violent lightning storm 60% of the year. The constant storm moves from over the lake to the far side from the mountains. Hot wet air comes in from the Equitorial current and collides from dry cold air from the Andes. I think, in the summer...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    It's just Justin being odd, and, I believe, him trying to impress others who really don't care. I'm pretty sure he doesn't pick up on that. He certainly doesn't pick up that some Masons might be offended by his actions.

    D&D General lightning-themed environment?

    Look up Catatumbo lightning. It is a lake and area in Venezuela that because of the mountain chain's proximity and orientation to the Equitorial current, it has powerful lighting storms approximately 265 days out of the year.
