    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    No idea. Speculation. 1. Gen X whales 2. Gen X designers 3. General corporate creative bankruptcy selling nostalgia bait. 4. Lingering 4E backlash corporate level 5. Some combination of all of the above.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    Yeah its ambiguous. Smite could work I suppose as its part of attack action. 5.5 has changed it to attack that creature leaving it open ended as to how. RAW not sure. RAI not sure ymmv. 5.5 may enable spellcasting.

    I'm not sure either tbh. I suspect its whales. Might be a small % overall but wouldn't ve surprised if the GenX whale spends x10 over a newbie or more. Looks at my 40 odd 5E hardcovers. Younger players are aware of some older stuff via YouTube. Darksun comes to mind (D&Ds forbidden...

    D&D General 5e System Redesign through New Classes and Setting. A Thought Experiment.

    Lambs kinda disappeared off the menu. Its to expensive and a lot dont like it anyway (to gamey). Farms shifted to dairy. National herds 2/3rds smaller iirc from peak sheep.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    They can easily grab bless, faerie fire etc as well. And swap it next level. 2 spells per short rest, 2-3 spells 1/day from Druid/Wizard/Cleric and 4-9 extra cantrips. Level 2. Wizards DO Suck (and all the other casters comparatively). Warlock wins tier 1 imho not just level 2. Wizards dont...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Lots of messy optional rules, peace cleric, souped up sorcerers, spells like tashas mind whip and half feats pushing the power level as well. Twilight clerics the poster child but Tashas Cauldron of Power Creep & Errata is real lol. Alt art looks great. All the stuff from Tashas we used...

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    They dont stack in BG3. Would have to see a rule on 5.5 preventing both not working. Emanations maybe?

    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    Iirc dominate is only basic attacks. Could be wrong. Think I dominated someone once but wasn't that great. Simple action only. Attack action or attack that person. (5.0 or 5.5) Not sure that applies to smites. No spellcasting though

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    The newer 5.5 art style is.... a choice. Its also blander in content. With the exit of Crawford and Perkins and BG3 exploding in popularity see what happens. The biggest age group was 18-25 iirc. They're 5-10 years older now.

    Virtual Happy Hour (Brews & Spirits, Pics & Reviews)

    D&D the other day. Private room bar. Downstairs they sell booze. One of my players just having "the one" I had a pint. Its the smaller one. Both went back for seconds. The 2 litre ones are $32 so around $20usd.

    D&D General I wish those new Forgotten Realms books would hurry up...

    Im running g BG3.5. In my game Asteriom didn't ascend as PCs faced some of Cazadors spawn. Myrkul ascended some to true vampire status

    Tashas just follows the usual late edition experimental phase. 2E and 3E did it as well probably 4E. Also around where I dont buy a lot of that stuff. Eg 3E the environmental books. Races of, tome of magic, book of 9 swords, weapons of legacy stayed on the shelf.

    D&D 5E (2024) Practical Build #1. Champion Fighter.

    Im kinda using BG3 templates. Extra d4 rarely d6 extra damage with rares. 1 maybe rare item will drop tier 1. End of tier 2 each PC has 2 and very rares are dropping. Weaker legendaries might drop if quest related. Doesn't mean a weapon though. +1 armor is rare. PCs dont choose though. I...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Tome of Foes was ok. Best 5E books are always going t9 be subjective. Xanathars, Strahd, Xanathars, Tomb of Annihilation are all generally highly regarded. 5E books are all pretty as well. Huge influx of new players dont have anything to compare them to. Its mostly the big WotC...
