    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    I'm not sure I know how to answer that either. I should also note that the RK I played was, for a number of reasons, not "optimized" - he was a dex-build melee fighter, and RK works best with strength build (to take advantage of the size). However, the subclass is so strong it still worked...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    I've seen all 3* in play, so I think I have a fair understanding of what each subclass can do. *I don't consider the echo knight because I haven't seen it in play but also because how poorly written the subclass is. It's a mess. I'm not sure I would agree that the RK is "the best". They have...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I must admit I'm... not as impressed as you are by the organization - I feel like it's missing a cover letter. It's just a bunch of stuff

    any easy way of seeing this 90+ page document? There must be a few gems in there... (and thanks for the update!)

    I encourage you to re-read the spell.

    D&D General Wishing Away The Adventure

    that's the fundamental challenge of high level play for a GM. Not that the fighter does 200 damage/round. Rather, the numerous in-game ways casters can avoid, solve or bypass in-game challenges with magic. And why wouldn't the high level PCs do this? If the adventure is dangerous and...

    D&D General Wishing Away The Adventure

    And why do the other PCs let an untrustworthy coward be in the party? "I'm sorry, this isn't working out. Here's your share of the party treasury. get out"

    D&D General Lore contributions from players into a campaign

    I used to be a bit of a "lore tyrant", but now I try to leave gaps, cracks for the PC's creation. Say that I have a vision for a setting (Yoon Suin) and a player really wants to be a certain race that doesn't "fit" in the Yoon Suin setting. Maybe this race is from a far away land? So the...

    I hope that when it's all said and done, that some of the lawyers involved will share some details.

    D&D General Looking for dungeon masters, staff and players

    If I am not mistaken there is a portion of the forum specifically dedicated to "looking for games", perhaps post there? https://www.enworld.org/forums/gamers-seeking-gamers.49/

    Looking for Steven M. Kurtz re Thiondar's Legacy (Dungeon 30)

    It took a while, but I'm delighted to see this issue resolved. @SGB , this is the best thread necro I have ever seen in my 25 years of internet foruming. I bid thee "Necromancer of Justice". May you bear this honor well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    This is the first time I hear of this cage of name concept and... why would you let yourself be trapped in that? If you want to play X that "isn't the stereotypical X"... then go ahead and do that. Who's enforcing this cage of name?!?!

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    ... could it be that you have confused tieflings and cambions?

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    I 100% concur. well it might not be a pact, it might be a few drops of fiendish ancestry. The blood of mortals - mortals having free will - overwhelms the fiendish influence.

    D&D 5E (2014) Late Stage 5e Characters... Do they differ greatly from early 5e characters?

    Well, here is some data from my own experience: gnome ranger Goblin warlock Dwarven alchemist Human barbarian (a wandering holy man) Human rogue (thief) Human hexblade/fighter Human dex melee fighter (battlemaster) half elf hexblade Elf Monk kensei (the elfiest elf I could make) Human dex...

    I wasn't going to say anything but... yeah, I too would like a quote.

    Once in a while though... let them wreck something. Like regular brigands or goblins or something attacking them on the road... It doesn't matter if there is no challenge, let them enjoy their power.

    D&D General City Campaign

    a good session zero can make this clear to the players. It is up to them to decide if they want to play their druid/ranger/etc anyway or not. (edit: I see this was already answered by others, sorry for the repeat)

    D&D General Anyone have the DC20 alpha? What do you think?

    am I the only one who finds that Treantmonk's video title to be... misleading?
