    Would you purchase an expansion, from a different system than you use, to adapt for your preferred system? If yes why?

    This is the way. But really, I think that's the whole shelfware/collector thing that lots of TTRPG enthusiasts with impulse control problems end up doing... you see a TTRPG product, think it could serve you well in whatever games you run, or tell yourself "hey maybe one day I'll run this!"...

    D&D General Refresher Course D&D Edition Numbers. AKA Modern D&D Is a Self Inflicted Problem.

    Is this about HP bloat? General numbers bloat? I have often wondered if 5e would be better served with ""lower numbers" by getting rid of stuff like +CON to hp and such, but since I run on A5E FoundryVTT it'd be impossible for me to cut out HP like that.

    Level Up (A5E) Removing Pointless Death (+)

    I don't think any of my players would choose that Permanent Injury option if it meant it was ... permanent. They'd most likely chance their character dying, than having guaranteed survival but living with disadvantage on some ability checks. I guess in part this is because if your character...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    Agreed, and it makes me sad.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    The way I'm hearing it here, folk just weren't using potions if they weren't a bonus action? Even out of combat? My players always use potions as prep for a fight, or to recover from one. They go through a lot of potions 😆 I even use potion miscibility tables! They don't each drink multiple buff...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    I guess it'd make sense to say perception can spot that there are tracks, but can't make any sense of them.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    That's interesting about rope and manacles in 5e24. Yes, it appears to be more difficult to manacle someone than to tie them up. I also note that now 5e24 specifies that it's a strength-athletics check to burst bonds, not just a strength check. I was always sort of confused whether you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    From a design standpoint, if I were to allow bonus action potions I'd probably make it a BA to potion someone else, still an action for yourself: this encourages teamwork and tactical spacing, forces certain choices like "do I want to go into danger to feed my party member a potion" etc. Plus it...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help me Houserule 5e Equipment & Items

    Yes, the classes in DCC are much more traditional so the sort of things that each is likely to get up to when they have nights to themselves is a lot more on-point by class. The thief+halfling's is actually called the "Larceny Table," the Elf+Wizard's is the "Arcane Studies Table," the Cleric's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help me Houserule 5e Equipment & Items

    DCC Carousing tables really liven up a game! There's one for most of the classes, I'll post the generic/warrior one here: Obviously you need to adjust things as necessary, but it can make a night out a lot more interesting. Also a lot more costly :'D
