    D&D 5E (2014) Converting Old Adventures

    Here is the conversion doc from 2015: https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/DnD_Conversions_1.0.pdf Edited to add: There is a newer conversion document here: https://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/DnD_Conversions.pdf The only difference I can find is in the section about Quick...

    Spoilers Civil War Movie

    The ERA has kind of met the criteria for ratification in 2020, but it was well past the deadline of 1979, and some state legislatures have also rescinded their earlier approval in the last few decades. It's a tangled legal mess. Just for context, here are the ratification dates of the previous...

    Anyone else feel that?

    Also, the general geology of the East Coast is very different from the West Coast. Equivalently rated quakes will be less damaging and felt over a wider area in the east.

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobold Press' Tome of Beasts Joins D&D Beyond

    IIRC, it was more of a merger of the two companies instead of one owning the other.

    Dragon Reflections #75

    Yeah, I was never a big fan of the whimsical covers they had. Though just to note most of the characters here appeared before on the cover of issue 67 (https://www.enworld.org/threads/dragon-reflections-67.697969/).

    Total eclipse 2024 plans?

    I will be visiting a friend in Maine to be in that path of totality. Looking forward to it!

    D&D 5E (2014) Targeting Their Attunement

    Oh yes, one at a time (probably the one used in the attack). And I would definitely allow a saving throw, as well as a visual/mental indication of what was going on ("the wand flashes, then dims as you feel your connection to it fade (or waver, if the save was made).").

    D&D 5E (2014) Targeting Their Attunement

    If you really want to get really powerful, have a monster ability that can break attunement. :eek:

    D&D 5E (2014) Targeting Their Attunement

    I like the design space you are opening up, but I would have to play with it some. It might be too subtle for some players to pick up on, so maybe have the character's attuned items flare in reaction to the attack, and bolts of energy leap from them to the character's brow. Though, what if the...

    D&D 5E (2024) What 3PP content (settings, classes and PC species) would you like in D&D Beyond?

    I hope for @Nixlord's Expanded Monster Manuals 1, 2 and 3. I would imagine monster books in general would be the most straightforward to do, except for some monsters that twist the rules in funky ways. Edited to add: Sorry, do you mean to limit suggestions to only settings, classes, and PC species?

    D&D 5E (2024) In Interview with GamesRadar, Chris Perkins Discusses New Books

    Yeah... I was thinking we were getting a 2024 DMG preview of new boons. :.-(

    D&D 5E (2014) Dying From Exhaustion While Petrified

    I think one can make clear and comprehensive rules with natural language. But if one wants rules to be complete and cover everything, it can get a bit dense and wordy. Unless the game is very simple, no ruleset will cover every situation. Even less open-ended rules like boardgame rules written...

    D&D General Stun: The Fun-Killer

    Huh. I have been running the Paralyzed condition wrong in letting targets maintain Concentration. I will begin using this RAW, but it feels wrong to me. Anyone else feel that way?

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster damage realization - DPR per CR diminishes across the game

    I used Quickleaf's original table as a source of data, and they did not include CR 0, so I did not either. One could easily recalibrate the CR scale to have current CR 0 relabeled as CR 1, for my purposes here. I used the DPR data in your original tables, but I renamed CR 0.125 to CR 1, CR 0.25...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster damage realization - DPR per CR diminishes across the game

    Challenge Rating numbers are just labels, so deriving a value using them is only useful in comparing to other Challenge Ratings. As the lower CRs are fractions, math with them tends to exaggerate differences. If we recalibrate the CR labels so they start at 1 instead of 1/8, we get the...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte starts June 4

    But isn't killing Vader (and the Emperor) what Obi-Wan and Yoda train Luke for? Obi-Wan even laments that "the Emperor has already won" when Luke says he can't kill his father. Semi-ninja'ed by MarkB.
