hehe I literally made a thread right as you did!

First two episodes came out. So far so good to me, bold opener leads into an interesting setting. They managed to keep the events from Echo and use them without dwelling on them. The tone of the show feels similar to the OG, and I appreciate in a day and age where everything feels the need to...

Exhaustion. I believe a long rest only restores 1 exhaustion, so if you have a few levels of it it will linger.

There is a pretty big difference between a creature with large wings being able to fly without magic, and a creature that specifically says its attacks are "magical damage" working in an anti-magic field. Using wish to make your party immune to the anti-magic field spell for 24 hours is one...

I found a few other small issues: Primordial fire: This ability specifically mentions "attacks", is that intentional? That means the dragons breath and spells still get all teh normal resistances. Recovery (Draconic Action): Says it doesn't use a use (which probably had limited uses in a...

good triumphs over evil because.....well, good is just stronger than evil! Its like back in 3e you looked at the book of vile darkness versus the book of exalted deeds. ED was WAY more cracked! Good is just broken :)

Also the CRs really don't matter too much when you start thinking about these in "army" terms rather than as small encounters typical for adventures. If one side has twice the numbers for example, who cases that their top dogs are a bit weaker than the other guys top dogs. Or leadership (aka...

alright taking my look at this bad boi. So the 2024 MM designs really tried to highlight the "less is more" concept. I see Dave has already streamlined a lot of things in this statblock, and I will continue to ask that question. What in the block is really adding meat to this dragon, versus...

what do you mean? Mage Hands carry 10 lbs, unseen servants have a carrying capacity of 30 (str 2). That means they can push, pull, or lift up to 60 lbs.

At the end of the day, the disabling of traps has never been the focus, its always the finding. Once you find a trap, there are many ways to disable them or bypass them. Mage hand is a useful tool to disable a known trap....but it won't help you find them.

Its interesting culturally that Trachtenbeg's death is getting so much more press, when Gene Hackman (who is a much more prolific and famous actor and seems to have died under much more mysterious circumstances) has gotten very little in comparison.

tbh I had no idea about the Jewish implication when I made my OP, I simply thought they were removing phlactery because it was a difficult word, not for any cultural reasons. So I think we can just table that one and move on to other winner/loser monsters.

I am fine with chaos imbued creatures looking pretty different being to being. I could easily use the old artwork in one encounter, bust out the new artwork in the next.

So I got my 2024 MM and started taking a look. Just starting a list of winners and losers, what monsters got shafted, which ones got the biggest glow up? Winners Mummy Lord - I have tried mummy lords twice in games before, and they died so quickly and so ineffectually both times that they...

So a simple idea is X amount of gold = 1 inspiration. Flavor it how you want, perhaps its players tithing to a temple and getting a local boon, or it was a training lesson with a master, whatever makes sense. But the advantage of that is: 1) Its a concrete benefit that players can appreciate...

All, I am restarting a campaign from a while back, with some existing characters. Theuy are going to level up and then we get the party started. My question: I have some players that made their characters using books, but several using the dnd beyond character creator. If they use the creator...

The way I've always run it is, while devils can replenish its no where near what demons can. Demons are raging hordes in comparison. And so the blood war is normally the devils + angels (in a always tenious collaboration) versus the demons. Its the raw power of teh celestial hostes + the brutal...

feats can also help you here. for example inspiring leader can give you some temp hp to cover some of the damage, so a laymen's "heal". Using the healer feat can help cover some other healing and stabilization needs.

Kuo Toa are just great monsters because they are so insanely quirky. I ran an adventutre last night with two "schools" of them (mob rules) and the party was able using disguise and illusions and performance to come out and pretend to be one of their gods. Half of the Kuo thought it was a savior...

I wanted to doublecheck the Miyagi reveals, they happened fast in the show and I'm making sure I understood them. There were two "shocking reveals". Miyagi killed a guy in the Sekai Takai Miyagi was arrested for stealing can someone remind me what the resolution for those were please?
