    D&D 5E (2014) In Search Of: The 5e Dungeon Master's Guide

    A possible unpopular view, but Id like to see the treasure and magic items moved to the monster manual. This would free up room in the dmg at the cost of some monster blocks in the mm for magic item construction and other glossed over rules. I agree with many here that dming a game could be...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger playtest discussion

    I like the idea of this being a ranger exclusive ability. This way, if you want the total protection of LTH, then bring a Ranger!!

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Expert Classes Playtest Document Is Live

    Unpopular opinion, since rangers are now outdoors spell casters, maybe let only them cast spells like LTH.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger playtest discussion

    In the video, the tone of Crawford seems to worry that they think this version of the Ranger is too powerful and may need to be nerfed at some later date. To me, it still does not seem powerful enough. I think it needs some better built in class features, but Im not sold on what or how since I...

    Free League's Alien RPG - My Experience

    I think the best way to run alien is to not let your players know they are playing alien. Just make up a trad traveller story.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should Forgotten Realms remain the default setting?

    Id love to see an all new setting allowing and embracing the new races, backgrounds, and classes. In with the new.

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we misunderstood the shield and sword fighter (or warrior)?

    You really like to reach with my words. I never admitted pikes were pole arms. I said i could accept pikes as pole arms. I see the pole arm as three components. One, does it require two hands, does it have reach, and does it have a weapon head attached to it that primarily cuts, smashes, or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we misunderstood the shield and sword fighter (or warrior)?

    From the internets (wilki)...A pole-arm is differentiated from a spear in that the penetrating 'edge' is parallel to the pole, rather than in-line, although many pole-arms also incorporate a spear point. So semantics maybe, but seems like apples and oranges.

    Well then. I guess you won the internet. I hope you feel better.

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we misunderstood the shield and sword fighter (or warrior)?

    I said long spears (two handed) yes including pikes. One handed spears and javelins, no way. Tacitly speaking of course. As an casual medeval fighter, I do indeed know the difference between a pike and a spear.

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we misunderstood the shield and sword fighter (or warrior)?

    So a trident too since it has a shaft? Same with flail since it has a shaft? Javelin too? See where I am coming from yet? Pole arms have arms. Halberd, bardiche, all the various combo picks, awls, pikes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we misunderstood the shield and sword fighter (or warrior)?

    I could buy into a long spear being one in dnd context but short spears, pilla, and staves, not so much. Pole arms used to be strictly two handed weapons that had reach and could be used from the second rank. Now i guess people are suggesting cugels too? Not in my worlds.

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we misunderstood the shield and sword fighter (or warrior)?

    Help yourself to a quick wiki search. There are no staves, cudgels, or any other far-fetched wooden poles except for weapons with heads attached. All shown are two handed wooden shafts with all kinds of shapes of weapon heads.
