    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    Then at most you could say I enjoy it or not. You couldn’t determine the difference in a 6 and a 10 without making other comparisons.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    Relating it to all the other things you enjoy isn’t disagreement with me. It’s in perfect alignment with what I said.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    For what it’s worth I rated 2024e as a 6. Id have rated 2014e as a 7.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    IMO it’s impossible to rate without some context around the rating. That might be other movies in general or other Superman movies or all entertainment. But implicitly you are rating it against something. Usually it’s the closest category that one possess enough high quality data points to...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    What’s the rule for knocking a creature unconscious at zero hp?

    Intrusive Ads

    One might suggest that prolific posters should get free perks at a minimum, or at least prolific posters who drive clicks and subs should as they are probably a net positive on the bottom line.

    How exactly are you reading that into what he said?

    Roll for Effect or Intent?

    You mean rolling without upfront rules discipline and limited deployment of rolling in the first place? Because that seems fairly obvious? If the game is set up such that rolls get called for too often then they tend to make no goal involving rolling successful. And if they do so without...

    Roll for Effect or Intent?

    IMO it’s a stupid dichotomy that elides what’s actually happening. The way it works is that resolution type One has fiction hidden from the players, a priority for generating very plausible outcomes, and a set of skills (usually fairly granular) such that when the players roll a skill there...

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball Vs Chromatic Orb Late Tier 2 Thoughts.

    If all those foes are paralyzed why waste another higher level slot on chromatic orb? I don’t get it.

    Spammed in 3rd level slots in tier 2??? Because that’s the comparison I was making.

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball Vs Chromatic Orb Late Tier 2 Thoughts.

    You should really clarify your posts with ‘best for sorcerer’. Because your responses only ever include things sorcerers can do to justify your position, and yet you couch it in very general terms. I do like command. But command isn’t available to most casters or subclasses without a feat...

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball Vs Chromatic Orb Late Tier 2 Thoughts.

    A level 3 fireball does on average 28 damage and 14 on a miss. I don’t know the actual hp of cr appropriate enemies for a level 10 party, but I think 140 is probably a fine estimate. Do you do between 10% and 20% of hp damage for every enemy hit. Essentially you end the encounter about 15%...

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball Vs Chromatic Orb Late Tier 2 Thoughts.

    On control vs damage IMO direct damage aoe spells are very underrated by modern d&d char op community. But so much depends on how the particular encounters are structured. So it doesn’t surprise me that at some tables direct damage aoe fares worse than control spells. What I believe happens...

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    IMO. Sometimes the players have tons of choices and you just know them and which they are going to make. Or at least have a good idea of which, not due to railroadiness but due to understanding what drives them as players.

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    For me, player buy in and fairness go hand in hand. If you’re giving the player what he bought into then you are being fair. If you give him something else then there’s a risk that’s unfair (though sometimes this can result in the player being pleasantly surprised). Railroading all goes back...
