    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    Dex would be the most logical sounding to me of those three. Running your fingers across possible seams, checking out whether sconces turn or books in a book case don't come out because they are actually mechanism levers, seeing if any bricks or stones move under pressure, that sort of thing...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    I can see changelings in particular leading to bad experiences in play. I find warforged and shifters very evocative and have great potential and players have played reskinned versions of them in my homebrew campaign to great effect. Changelings and the psionic people are aspects of Eberron I...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    In the 3.5 core setting book it is mentioned a few times but not hugely emphasized directly to start, more implicitly. It gets more explicitly fleshed out in later editions. From the 3.5 Core Setting book Page 249, the very beginning of the chapter on An Eberron Campaign: "The world of...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    Noir does not come as naturally to me either. I find the other half of the Eberron tone, pulp, much easier to do. I just imagine how Indiana Jones I can make a D&D session feel and I have done that a bunch and find it fun. The closest I come to noir is probably Cthulhu type urban...

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway?

    Concentration spells are only broken if you drop concentration voluntarily, from failing a con save when taking damage, or from something like casting another concentration spell. You can keep your concentration spell going while doing other stuff like casting a non-concentration spell. Here is...

    RPG Duets Best Practices and Pitfalls?

    I have played and DM'd a bunch of D&D with one player. If they run two characters it gets less personal and more 3rd person perspective, my tastes run to preferring more first person single character immersion. While NPCs can make it more like a normal party for capabilities and action...

    D&D General What is your favorite d&d world's one unique thing.

    Ptolus I really like the collapsing henotheistic Holy Lothian Empire. For D&D having a big church dedicated to an ascended paladin as the patron of the empire allows both medieval church themes with whatever D&D polytheism you want alongside it since it is henotheistic, So you have a great...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Comics Thor has the hammer Mjollnr but it also lets him fly and zap things and turn into a mortal human. Whether his armor counts as magic would be an open question too. Mythic Thor has the hammer Mjollnr, a belt and gauntlets that enhance his super strength even more, he uses a backup magic...

    Yeah, no magic rings in sight on fantasy Errol Flynn, Falstaff and Charles Bronson.

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    I really like a bunch of Eberron as a setting, The Five Kingdoms war. The weaponized necromancy of Karrnath, the crusading inquisition types of the Thrane theocracy, the dead Mounlands with the Lord of Blades, and the whole lost giant continent of Xendrik are really evocative. I like the history...
