    D&D General Ravenloft: Monsters vs Darklords

    Good thing you edited your post, because my coat just has a Bruins logo on it, which feels highly out of place for a Lovectaft setting.

    DDAL Things I learn from being a DM for 500 Adventure League sessions.

    A very good list, but this is the one that resonated most with me.

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    I figure it’s more of a case of the people that plan on making the switch, don’t feel the need to mention it, while the people who don’t plan on making the switch are incessant about telling everyone that they’re not going to do so.

    I was thinking about that scoundrel the liked to battle while dual-wielding tonfa sticks: Baton Rogue

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    And this thread illustrates the dichotomy of the situation: based on the comments, I’d think the majority of people are NOT going to switch to 5.5. But then I look at the poll results and it’s the complete opposite.

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    After the first UA, I was a big NO. But as additional UAs came out, I moved towards MAYBE, and I think UA 8 tipped the scales into YES territory.

    D&D General As old as D&D

    I'm older than D&D by . . . 3 days. I think. In that video on the making of D&D, I saw the date February 7th being tossed around.

    Chutes & Ladders - it even has the classic ampersand. Or Candyland. Or maybe some kind of Chutes & Ladders/Candyland mashup. Or perhaps Mouse Trap is more comparable.

    D&D 5E (2024) How should the Swordmage be implemented in 1DnD?

    There is a 3pp book called The Korranberg Chronicle: Adventurer’s Almanac that has a Swordmage class in it. I’m not really into Swordmages, but maybe it’s up someone else’s alley?

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Rangers should have monster fighting spells equivalent to Paladin's Smite spells. Discuss!

    I was thinking about this one in particular: Trollbane - You coat your weapon with a substance to counteract regenerative properties. Your next successful attack does an extra 1d4 acid or fire damage. This substance continues to affect the target each round for 1 minute. ETA: I realize this...

    D&D 5E (2024) 50th Anniversary: 6E in 2024?

    It’s no secret that I loathe multiclassing. But aside from the broken builds that come from it, I also feel that it is stymieing creative changes. Countless times I’ve seen people come up with great ideas that could potentially be implemented, only to be met with, “but, what about...

    D&D Movie/TV Baldurs Gate 3 Live Action Series talks at Netflix

    I’m loving RoP and can’t wait for the next season to come out. But I feel like I would enjoy WoT more if I had never read the books. When I watch it, all I wind up doing is noticing all the things that diverge (sometimes drastically) from the books.

    D&D 5E (2014) I want my players to ignore class in character creation

    Huh. I’m not even sure how to respond to this. If people are new to a game and I try to help them get an idea of what class they might be interested in playing, without getting them bogged down in the specific class mechanics, that’s some kind of psychological trick!?!? You’ve left me utterly...

    D&D 5E (2024) I wish we'd gotten to see the Bard in UA one more time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard exists, now make YOUR Bard. (+)

    My stream of conscious thought: Change the name from Bard to Gleeman ala Thom Merrilin in the Wheel of Time. Remove spellcasting completely. Change any bard-specific spells (like Vicious Mockery) into class features. Focus on things like Tumbling, Performing, manipulation (Persuasion...

    D&D General Inquisitor class

    Since nobody else has mentioned it yet, there's also the Inquisitive Rogue from Xanathar's. It would seem to play as a polar opposite of the Oath of the Watchers paladin, carrying out it's inquisition in a less holier-than-thou, more seedy manner.

    D&D 5E (2014) I want my players to ignore class in character creation

    In that case, building off my previous suggestion of using the Table on page 45 of the PHB, take a couple pieces of paper and cover up all the columns except for Description. Have each player read the description of what each class is about and decide which one fits their concept. Then, after...

    D&D 5E (2024) Things You Think Would Improve the Game That We WON'T See

    I was thinking of that too. One of the concerns with Spell Points is that you would be able to cast multiple high level spells (like Wish or Time Stop) every day, which would be too powerful. The solution would be either A) remove certain high level spells from the Sorcerer list, or B) use the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Things You Think Would Improve the Game That We WON'T See

    I was thinking something along the lines of the Spell Point variant in the DMG, but with the base Spell Points Per Level lower than in the table on p289 and adding CON modifier to it. There could be an ability that allows the Sorcerer, in moments of desperation, to convert HP to SP (like how...
