Hey everyone! The recent UA for the new Forgotten Realms book's subclasses got me thinking about more setting specific subclasses. Normally, I like how D&D's classes and subclasses are fairly generic, and I haven't liked others that were highly specific, like the Blade Singer. But I was thinking...

I'm not sure if keywords were the problem, but the 2024 rules aren't written efficiently. There are chunks where 20 words are used when 10 would sound better. Next time I find an example, I'll post it.

I won't count it as alive until the mini maker has every PHB species and every PHB and DMG item. I'm fine with it not doing the math for me, but I want people to be able to visualize their characters.

I can't wait to have the space and the funds to make myself a gaming table with a built in screen. I could also just use a projector hooked up to a computer with a Bluetooth mouse to pass around for people's turns, and me with a laptop. Hmmmmmm

Should have just paid Larian to make one. Would be a killer program.

I got the demo with my copy for Baldur's Gate 2, and it got me to run out and buy the core set immediately.

It really seems to me like they should have contracted Larian to make it. They could have used BG3's engine and assets. They already have a GM mode for their Divinity games. Could have a freemium model so it's free for players and have paid perks be part of D&D Beyond subscription.

It did.

Ive been playing with Sigil for a few weeks. I find the interface a little clunky and I don't like how building blocks and props are organized. The lack of item names in the menus is tough, and needing to switch between multiple playsets to find things slows down building. We really need item...

I would have stuck with the longer 10 point track they were toying with in play tests, made it recover 1 on a short rest, full on a long rest, and -1 penalty to all d20 rolls and spell DCs, -speed at some pattern. That would be fatigue. Points of exhaustion would be like the current exhaustion...

2d6 at spell level 3 is equivalent to having 2 attacks, which the ranger has at 5th level.

I like the idea. Something I've been playing with is introducing Subdual Damage and Fatigue/Exhaustion. Subdual Damage and Fatigue are tracked separately, and stack with lethal damage and exhaustion, but they recover on a short rest instead of long rest. That way, they can be used as penalties...

I've switched it to no concentration, for everyone, and the damage is only applied once per round. But I also have the damage increase to 2d6 at 3rd level and 3d6 at 5th level, a long with duration improvements. The change I've been fiddling with is removing the ability to switch targets, but...

Something I've been thinking about is that there are plenty of concentration spells that have potion version, and those don't take up concentration. Potions of energy resistance, potion of growth, potions of giant strength... Especially now that item crafting is more normalized, how does this...

The weird jumps in certain places is because PCs have levels where their power significantly jumps, like level 5. I have no idea where they got this progression from, but that's my assumption.

Off the top of my head, Divine Favor lost concentration.

If your DM removed concentration, but was very rigid and on top of spell durations, what spells would you abuse? What combos would you be concerned about?

AC commonly starts at 15 and scales to 18-20+ before magic items get involved. That's the range for high ability scores, but it would be real rough for 8s, 10s, and 12s. Maybe if proficiency bonus was added to it, it could work.

I like this idea in theory. Let's see where it goes. Standard PC spell DCs start at 13 (8 base + 3 mod + 2 prof) and grow to 19+ (8 base + 5 mod + 6 prof + ? magic items). High ability modifier starts at 15 and grows to 21+. That's the same +6. It starts 2 higher... My initial thought is just...

Fire Shield deals damage to creatures that hit you in melee. Changing that from fixed damage to an attack roll for potentially more damage is fine. Monsters don't need to follow the player rules. The reaction limitation is needed for player balance; it's okay for a monster to act differently, as...
