    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    Attacking breaks stealth in all instances. Didn't think disadvantage for running would be so controversial.

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    Moving quickly / dash / running out of combat gives disadvantage on stealth checks. Reword it however you like.

    D&D 5E (2024) Eye Tyrant. Who Died and Made You Gygax?? Design Your Own D&D 2024X3.

    You can just pick a different class (i.e. multiclass) same as you can start at the bottom of a different tree. There is also the issue that most feat combination will be traps. So you just end up with an llusion of choice, and a lot of extra work to figure out all the combination.

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    Don't see why dash isn't allowed outside combat. But the difference is sneaking 30' past a guard vs 60' past a guard with disadvantage. Lucky for me, it's my houserule so I don't need to worry about exact wording.

    D&D 5E (2024) Eye Tyrant. Who Died and Made You Gygax?? Design Your Own D&D 2024X3.

    I guess I don't see much difference between feat trees and classes.

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    Pathfinder 2e does this. Unaware: doesn't know Undetected: knows your somewhere Hidden: knows your square Observed: can clearly see you. But that's adds complications. Especially if you have 5 creatures each with different awareness of 5 other creatures = 50 different states to track. The...

    D&D 5E (2024) Eye Tyrant. Who Died and Made You Gygax?? Design Your Own D&D 2024X3.

    Have to play with the math but.. Remove to-hit rolls, and thus AC Use ability scores, remove modifiers Anyone can cast spells. Caster are just better. So something like 1d20+weapon - armor. And if the d20 is higher than their Str, then you push or other effects.

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    IMO The condition ends on you immediately after any of the following occurs: you make a sound louder than a whisper, an enemy finds you with a Search action, you make an attack roll, you cast a spell with a Verbal component, or end your turn without out cover. If you take the Dash action, you...

    D&D 5E (2024) What are your 2024 houserules?

    That's his point. Barbarian's reckless attack giving a penalty. Fall prone every turn just to protect from ranged attacks, and does not give extra penalty from melee.

    D&D 5E (2024) What are your 2024 houserules?

    I did some calculations. Twice allows for Bladesingers and Moon druids to get their 2 attacks, but not Eldritch Blast spamming. It's short range, concentration, takes an action, single target, with nothing on a miss. You need 3 actions (including castings) for it to surpass Finger of Death...

    D&D 5E (2024) What are your 2024 houserules?

    It was both. Dragonborn got +1 when Bloodied Tieflings got +1 against Bloodied Shifters had... something activate when Bloodied (May have been a feats) And there was several magic item that gave bonus when Bloodied. I played a Avenger of the Raven Queen who took all the bonus when Bloodied...

    D&D 5E (2024) 13 Attacks a Round the Most You Can Get?

    I think tightly packing 1000 enemies in range of an area of attack is the part that's far from universal. Not just D&D, or TTRPG, but any game at all. Or real life for that matter.

    D&D 5E (2024) What are your 2024 houserules?

    Yes. There where already a few in 2014, but they just spelled it out as "half you maximum hit points". I.e. 2014 life cleric.. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. Vs 2024 life cleric Choose Bloodied creatures within 30 feet Yes. Though it's...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

    I don't see many good high level ranger abilities. Their best spells are level 2, which is ranger 5 (plus multiattack). Plant Growth and revivify as are good at 3rd, but all the damage spells get out scaled by being half caster. 6: Roving is nice. But rogue 2 is nicer. 7: depends on the...

    2014 Stun spamming works well, especially at higher levels when you have Ki to fuel it. I just don't think it's fun.

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    It's good for new DMs. It gives them some hand holding while they develop their own style. Preventing them for being at a loss for words or direction. But like any crutch, it should be dropped after a while so they can stand on their own. Also, the longer a campaign. The less likely the read...

    D&D 5E (2024) 13 Attacks a Round the Most You Can Get?

    2014 ranger hunter had Volley. You can use your action to make a ranged attack against any number of creatures within 10 feet of a point you can see within your weapon’s range. You must have ammunition for each target, as normal, and you make a separate attack roll for each target. Which could...

    D&D 5E (2024) 13 Attacks a Round the Most You Can Get?

    There are 268. 5' cubes in a 20' Sphere 4 pixies in each cube = 1,072 targets 28 damage = 30,016 damage 75% (save for half) = 22,512 damage Very good guess. And just to fill things out. 1813 pixies in a cone of cold. 8192 pixies in a Meteor swarm. Seems far less likely than rolling an extra...

    D&D 5E (2024) 13 Attacks a Round the Most You Can Get?

    Not sure if you want to count summons or Simulacrum, but your not concentrating on anything. Wild surge (extra action), for another 4 Eldritch Blasts. Or Wild surge can technically get you concentration free summons, but it's pretty random. Also, glyph of warding (+infinite money) can make...
