    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    There's hit and miss, but in general i like Read Aloud in published adventures as it's a confined area of text that usually convey important informations about a given thing i can read directly as is to the players, often descriptive in a way i wouldn't have thought myself. As anything, it's a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Anyone else dislike the "keyword" style language of 5.24?

    What i want most is clear rules, wether they rely on natual english or keyword, because in the end, rulebook's guidelines primary role is to help adjudicate rules. But if i have to lean toward one or another, as much as i like how more fluent english is, keyword tend to be more clear to help you...

    D&D 5E (2014) When do you short rest?

    The party takes short rest when they need to reload features or hit points, usually in safest way. Time wise, i remain vague unless time is of the essence or an interruption occur. Otherwise they complete the rest after a moment then move on and the ammount of time spent resting matters little.

    D&D General How would people react to a visual age difference for couples of the same age?

    In a fantasy game where so many species exist and bond togheter, what IRL may be considered uncommon can be more common. As DM i wouldn't make it a big deal out of it and treat it much differently than anythign else, unless it'd be among the player's wish.

    D&D General Should the DM roll in the open?

    DM should roll in the open, or away from view, only if and when they want to. Personally; When i play online, my rolls are usually public on Roll20 unless i specifically need to keep one secret to the players. When i play in person, i usually roll at my seat behind a DM screen, unless i happen...

    D&D 5E (2024) Exception-Based Design in D&D: When Rules Enable Rule Lawyers

    While i agree on the effect of Exception-Based design produce on game play experience, i have to say this isn't new to 5E24. Nor is Rule 0 a recent phylosophy. It's more that as D&D evolved, these concepts were more verbalized or codified. For as long as D&D existed, DM were empowered to make...

    D&D 5E (2024) Group Checks?

    To me Group Check is a tool to measure any task's success or failure collectively rather than individually. Not using them if a single failure has consequence is missing the goal, if i use Group check, it's especially to have an outcome despite single success or failure since it's measured more...

    D&D 5E (2024) Web: Power Overwhelming

    Isn't 20 feet cube = 16 x 5 feet cubes in 2D and/or 64 x 5 feet cubes in 3D? (4 x 4 x 4 for 20 feet on each side and as much high)

    D&D 5E (2024) Web: Power Overwhelming

    The entire web is flammable and each 5-foot cube is connected into a single area, so if not meant to burn by 5-foot increment but bound to burn completely if lit, why just not saying if the web is exposed to fire, it burns entirely in 1 round ? Or else each 5-foot cube burns independently as if...

    D&D 5E (2024) Web: Power Overwhelming

    As written a 5-foot cube of web exposed to fire will burn for a round, dealing 2d4 fire damage to a creature starting it's turn in it. Next round, it will expose any adjacent 5-foot cube of web to fire, burning for a round and dealing 2d4 fire damage to a creature starting it's turn in it...

    D&D 5E (2024) Aasimar Celestial Revelation - Necrotic Shroud - one time only or every turn?

    I know as written Celestial Revelation: Necrotic Shroud currently says: but i said to make it stronger it should have instead say: Basically my suggestion was that it'd be stronger if the Frighetened condition could potentially last more than a round. Hopefully it's more clear now.

    D&D 5E (2024) Aasimar Celestial Revelation - Necrotic Shroud - one time only or every turn?

    It wouldn't be permanent but until the transformation ends, which Celestial Revelation mention it lasts for 1 minute. Grammar could always be polished if you want i'm sure people get the intentions here but spells uses similar wording for example Hold Person says:
