    D&D 5E (2024) what should the wizard's subclasses be?

    Wand, Staff (absorbs Rod), Spellbook, and Orb (absorbs Crystal). Implement choice, like weapon choise for a Martial, is important.

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want to see from the bastion system?

    If the base is damaged it will simply take a long rest to recover completely, so no structure will ever not be at full hit points the next day. That is why sieges are so difficult, the attacker probably has to roll two 20's in a row to do enough damage to the base to take it to 0 HP so it can't...

    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2023 [NOMINATIONS OVER]

    I nominate Blade Runner, by Free League, given that it is December 5th and it does not seem to be out yet, or even at distributors, so a 2023 release seems likely. Blade Runner RPG

    Worlds of Design: How Big is Your Army?

    Hi, If it was as bad as WWI casters on both sides would get "Woe" as the resources (lives) spent made the battle a bad deal even if you "won", and that's not even getting into the whole "World War I caused World War II" argument.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 2022 Overview - Did you purchase any of the books?

    Our stores bought scores of all of these. I personally bought Mordenkainen's Monsters and Spelljammer. I am planning on buying Stormwrack Isle and Dragonlance but all my D&D money is going towards Loke Battle Mats. I also want to get Radiant Citadel, and I might in 2023.

    D&D 5E (2024) What can WotC do in OneD&D to make the DM's Guide worth buying?

    They could remove the notion that magic items are optional, and start giving them out like crazy, so more players would buy the DMG to see what their magic items do. [This would cause balance issues, but selling books and making money is good.]

    D&D 5E (2024) Armaments, replacing equipment with more interesting options.

    Possible rule "Weapons - When using a two-handed weapon you do base damage equal to the size of the largest hit dice you have from a class that can use that weapon. When using a one handed weapon you use dice that are one step smaller. Apply stat bonunses as usual." Thus Wizards do 1d4 with a...

    Dragonlance What do you think of the Kender?

    It might be better if Hit Dice were a resource that were used only for cool stuff that tires people out. Otherwise we have to explain why their use is limited by your hit dice and if you spend them all you will need a long rest to get them back and two long rests to get them all back.

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice for running Tomb of Horrors with a twist (+)

    What if it was all just a nightmare, and all the dead PC's wake up fine but their memories of the dungeon still give them XP's? Then it's an easy way to give "free" XP's.

    D&D General Making cards and would love to know what are the most used equipment in your games.

    If you do backpacks, please include total weight and max weight capacity, players almost never remember to add up the weights of the items in their backpacks and confirm that it is below the 30 limit of the pack.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tired of using CON modifier as a bonus to HP? Here's a simple alternative...

    In this system maybe you could still add your CON bonus to the hit dice you roll to recover hit points, thus modeling "healthy people heal faster", even if it does not add to your base hit points.

    Worlds of Design: How Big is Your Army?

    Some spellcasters have "Augury". If cast before almost any WW I style battle, the attackers would have been told that attacking would bring them "woe". Their King might not listen the first time, but likely would the second....

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving Classes an Additional Saving Throw? (+)

    Hi, if you want that to stay balanced then you should probably set it up so that each class has proficiency in the same number of important saves, a class with full proficiency in DEX and CON and WIS saves may be too good, while a class with full proficiency in only one of those three and in two...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving Classes an Additional Saving Throw? (+)

    My preference would be to give each class two more Half (round down) Proficiency saves, one common and one uncommon. For example I would give Wizards Half bonus to DEX saves (they are smart enough to know when to get out of the way) and CHA saves (strong Willpower) while Rogues would get half...

    D&D General Icons of the Realms (Set 26): Sand and Stone

    No, Al-Qadim confirmed. They've secretly hired some of the MENA writers from Journey to the Radiant Citadel to redo it for the 21st century and it will be a 2023 release.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Shield to strong of a spell? Should and how would it be changed for OneD&D?

    False. They can only fall in love Proficiency Bonus times per day. This means it takes them months to apply Proficiency Bonus to everything. ;)
