    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    There are people on the internet who think that the world is flat.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    I’m confused. Why would “how you get your power matters” being a core theme make it not work?

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Not at all. “I’ll kill them with the power they were foolish enough to give me.” Is an extremely good story beat. See; Spawn, Ghost Rider, etc

    They put circle magic in the FR book. I doubt they will fail to give wizards a way to defile.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    What else should they do? Force specific stories and make the class suck to play for most people just to satisfy a tiny group of players? And in a meta-physical sense, IMO it makes no sense to have them be “petitioners” that have to be given power every time they do anything. While I’d prefer...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    It’s be nice if, when you aren’t willing to actually engage once challenged, you would just not reply to me on the topic which you aren’t willing to engage with. It makes the interaction needlessly frustrating to no good end.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Your reductive take doesn’t represent actual play, nor what the class actually is in the reality of the game. Not having obnoxiously toxic rules that decide what the narrative of the character is instead of letting the players play it out as they see fit isn’t robbing the class of any weight...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    The question stands for Warlocks of all types of course, and I think that in 2024 even more than previously it’s quite clear that Warlocks don’t lose their power if they betray their patron. The question remains of what happens if the Patron fully dies. I would say that the power has already...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    I adore this. Yes please.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Am I the only one that has no issue imagining non-evil characters with all four subclasses? I mean, the sorcerer isn’t any more “unabashedly evil” than people born with demon traits, and the warlock is a warlock. Like…the fiend warlock isn’t necessarily evil and it’s a literal deal with a fiend.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    As much as I despise allegory, I can respect this stance a hell of a lot more than the supposedly simulationist arguments for bioessentialism.

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    I hate it, but in that way where I wouldn’t have them change it because I want dargons to have impossible physiology and not be natural rationally comprehensible creatures.

    D&D 5E (2024) Subclassing the Warrior Veteran

    To me, BM is blue (indigo). EK….silver and cyan/aqua or purple. Red is Champion all day. Psi Warrior….idk I don’t like it anyway lol. If you want a NPC to feel like a BM, just give it a riposte reaction, and maybe 2-3 maneuvers, that work like legendary actions.

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Physical and digital of two books, plus digital bonuses (which legitimately do seem like they’d have just been cut entirely if they hadn’t been made digital exclusives), a Faerun Atlas. As long as the books aren’t small, I’d say it’s a fair price, but still too much for me probably, especially...

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    Sembia isn’t exactly in a state to challenge their neighbors, and Netheril is gone. Why would Cormyr care if the self-declared nobles of a nation that is still rebuilding dislike that their order of heroic cavaliers expand operations?

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    A human with 10 strength could carry a halfling fairly easily, and be able to see over the snow, so…that would only happen in order to make a meta point. To be fair.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    Yeah I ditched culture early on. I find it more problematic than old school D&D races. Much closer to real world rhetoric about “race”, because that’s all “race” is IRL, regional cultural groups that on average look more like eachother than like “outsiders”. Instead I have Ancestry and...

    Sam would definitely manage both, it’s true. The MVP of LoTR.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    I mean, plenty of people actively seek out dangerous challenges without being bad at normal life. I’d go so far as to say that enjoying fear and near-death adrenaline highs is a normal human trait. Not universal, but certainly fairly common. We see the aurochs and think, “Bet I could jump on...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    That seems like a super weird assumption. Why?
