    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Sure! I take the phrase "The Dungeon Master decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding" to mean the process of hiding as a whole, from the initial action that allows you begin hiding to the things you do while attempting to remain hidden, such as sneaking past a guardian. I see the...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    Are they giving me lots of free advertising and drumming up discussion about the thing I'm selling? Did I specifically ask them to do so? Am I otherwise making enough money to pay my bills? If those three are "Yes", then absolutely.

    Same. In fact, one of the reasons why I buy the books is to immediately get a PDF version afterwards guilt free. The book sits on the shelf, and the PDF sees 99% of my use.

    That is an option to satisfy curiosity, but actually posting about the content of a blockers post will draw the wrath of the mods. There's probably a safe middle where you both are just talking in parallel, but actually addressing the points of a blocking poster is a no-no.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    I mentioned this in another thread, but I saw several content creators (including Treantmonk) take down their Patreon videos the other day, and put them back up a few hours later. One or two videos at a time, so it was a rolling thing. I do not know why that happened, but it is possible this was...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMs, what makes running D&D fun for you?

    I love the joy and wonder on my player's faces. When I see them positively light up with happiness, or explode into a fit of laughter, or talk amongst themselves about how much they love something that happened on game day, or even just the implied interest when they sit around planning how to...

    Heck, low-medium quality scans will appear as soon as GenCon wraps up, so this seems like negative press for almost no gain.

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    I can certainly see how you've arrived at that conclusion and think it's one valid approach, but I can also see the alternative. This whole thing is kind of an odd case because that interpretation results in some pretty bizarre circumstances (salsa dancing), despite being the more obvious...

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Yeah, I see the multiple interpretations, but it's just unnecessarily vague. They could have phrased the whole thing much better one way or the other.

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    I think it tells the players that a DM can decide your circumstances are no longer appropriate for hiding, so the player is suitably forewarned that it can happen. I mean, it's common sense to us that the DM can always arbitrate this kind of thing, but it's nice to put it in text for new...

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Interestingly, the phrasing doesn't specify "trying to hide" but "circumstances appropriate to hiding." So I can see different DMs coming to different conclusions on either end of the spectrum - such as the circumstances no longer being appropriate to hiding meaning you are no longer hidden...

    @DavyGreenwind was kind enough to give us a screen shot of the Hiding rules in the Exploration section.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Sorcerer 2024 is the strongest class.

    To be fair, we can't even agree how it should be balanced. I'm firmly in the camp that we should bring back encounter powers, for example.

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    Can you please post a screenshot of the Hiding text in the Exploration section? I am told the text says "Adventurers and monsters often hide, whether to spy on one another, sneak past to a guardian, or set an ambush. The Dungeon Master decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding" but...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Sorcerer 2024 is the strongest class.

    The One Spell Slot rule does mean Psionic Sorcery can cast two leveled spells if you have an appropriate spell to cast. Note that Quicken Metamagic now restricts Level 1+ spells, so you can’t Psionic Sorcery and Quicken two leveled spells. I am sad that Buffing/Support Sorcerers didn't get much...

    Why did Kirk want to go back to the genesis planet when he had no way of knowing Spock was down there?
