    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    They are both first level spells. Neither cares about your casting stat. They are both strong spells. They can both be picked up by any caster for minimal cost.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    Depends. And Wizards don’t get Bless, except when they do.

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    I just had a very nice Indian meal for 2 for £66 ($88) including tip. Not in London though.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    Doesn’t matter if you go to bed with some slots unused. Better than not having them when needed. A Shield for when you are attacked by assassins during the night is always handy. No one is being graded on efficiency.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    Often the best option is don’t bother wasting a spell slot on an easy fight.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    Yeah but when has strict adherence to the facts worked!? My opinion is Bless is a good spell but is not always the best option - well balanced in fact. Although it is somewhat hampered by my players forgetting they have it.

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Yes, I would say that. And a fighter who fights with magic is the same as a fighter that doesn’t use magic, aside from fluff that is easily changed. Elric fights with magic, but the magic enhances his otherwise poor strength. So it can be built into his stats. I prefer the four class model...

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    So the choice of new class is a) a cleric who works without magic or b) a fighter who works by magic.

    D&D General Whom has used the Egg of Coot?

    You can post about about him as much as you like. But you need to explain who he is and what it’s about. Something like “I saw Mr Welsh posting about the Egg of Coot. Has anyone else seen this or used this character from the early days of D&D”. That way people will know what you are talking about.

    D&D General Whom has used the Egg of Coot?

    No one is saying otherwise. But he is not sufficiently well known to quote without explanation and expect people to know what you are talking about.

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Yup, we should be bolder with what we have. The tattoo monk is ever so conventional and timid. Also, players and DMs should be more open to refluffing. If it has the mechanics you want but the lore isn’t, then change the lore, it breaks nothing.

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    Grief! I thought our inflation was bad!

    D&D General Help with mage tower heist adventure

    This isn’t a heist as such*, but it does contain some stuff you could repurpose. Keys from the Golden Vault has a bunch of heists, but not an actual mage tower. *also, there are no ghosts and it’s not in Inverness.

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    Not my experience, this goes against general codes of conduct in social situations. Good manners! And people who don’t have good manners are to be avoided like the plague, not people to play games with.

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    One thing I have learned in my many years of teaching is that this is an unproductive approach even when you are dealing with unruly children! I don’t have much experience of this as I don’t have much family, but the trope is that family dinners are much much worse!

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    Yeah, my players are somewhat like that, if you throw in solving the odd puzzle or mystery and occasional outbreaks of in-character comic role play to the fighting. They have the option of taking things in other directions, and occasionally they do, but most of the time they are content to let...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    I reversed the functioning of the villain’s monster-making machine.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    I managed to pull off some technobabble (playing an artificer rather than a wizard though).
