WOTC, if you are listening, if the intent is to use AI to cut costs, I will gladly pay a higher price per book to pay the artists and writers a fair wage for the art/content they created to produce the product. Leave the AI to bad sci-fi action movie plots.

I backed that for my boy/girl twins when it was an Kickstarter and even had one of our cats that passed away featured in one of the books as a surprise homage for them! Love that game! I really need to get back to the campaign design idea I had for that where the setting was essentially Phineas...

Semi related to this topic, one of my gaming groups is wrapping up Call of the Netherdeep soon and will be starting up Vecna: Eve of Ruin after and we kinda on purpose but started as a joke ended up with an “Oops, all Warlocks” party. 5 players, don’t know exact deets on each individual Warlock...

On your Putrid Quasit build, you do know that your character will never be able to take advantage of the Paralyzed condition on your target right? The Putrid Spirit acts on your initiative count but immediately after you. The Paralyzed condition ends at the start of the target’s next turn. So...

Calling this powergaming and booting a player from the table is going a bit too far here. Just do the math for the sake of it. A level 3 Rogue/2 Warlock with True Strike and Agonizing Blast and a shortsword is doing 1d6 (shortsword) + 2d6 Sneak Attack + 1d6 (TS damage increase) + 3 (Cha from TS)...

So our game today ended on a cliffhanger mid combat as one of our party members had to leave for work and the Artificer character letting the DM mull on what their choice was for their next turn in combat. The cliffhanger being the party Druid was swallowed by a big fish monster and in its...

So, one of the ways I have handled colossal monster attacks in the past is their melee attacks, claw/rend/tail, attack in a cone equal to their melee reach. So, lets use the Tarrasque, it’s attacks have a 15’ reach so they instead attack in a 15’ cone and can potentially hit multiple targets...

Honestly, looking back on all the comments and different interpretations of the wording of melee weapon vs ranged weapon I have to say my initial interpretation is incorrect. I was hasty in my assessment and glad to be wrong. I like the idea of smiting with throwing weapons. It seems...

I hate to burst your bubble but you are incorrect on thrown weapons and Paladin Smites. Melee or Ranged. A weapon is classified as either Melee or Ranged. A Melee weapon is used to attack a target within 5 feet, whereas a Ranged weapon is used to attack at a greater distance. The Thrown...

It’s certainly more humane than summoning an actual live animal and mentally forcing it to fight and die so that you may live and loot the room.

It’s not really any different than a Sorcerer casting a cantrip and Quicken Fireball. More restrictive really since it MUST be centered on the target.

My gaming group actually started the swap over during the playtest mid campaign. I was DM’ing the Legendary Planet AP from levels 1-20. I think we started the playtest material around levels 15-17 and went to 20. Party consisted of Oath of Ancients Paladin, Way of Astral Self Monk, Aberrant Mind...

High AC and little to back it up with just means you’re likely to be the last one to die when things go sideways on the way to TPKville. That or the DM just gets annoyed at not being able to hit you and throws stuff at you with Con or Int saves all the time.

Great, now we’re going to devolve into a debate on how railroady this thread is.

You mean the kobold with 5 hp that could be one shot with an arrow or javelin or a cantrip with just as much a chance at success without spending any resources?

Sure, but can anyone honestly tell me they wasted a Hold Person spell on a kobold?

Something my beautiful wife just pointed out to me when I was talking to her about the changes of some species from humanoid to aberration or fey and how things like Charm Person and Hold Person don’t work on them anymore and she immediately fired back with “Yeah, but spells like Protection From...

Yup! I Googled it and was like “Crap. I’ve been wrong about something pretty much my entire life and society failed to correct me until now.”

LOL my phone autocorrected and I didn’t notice it but I am now educated on the correct meaning. Oddly enough it’s relevant either way!
