Depending on what is out there to get xp on, what they know about what is out there, what they encounter, and what options they actually have to choose. In games counting xp players still can't really just decide they are going to level up every session. They can decide not to level up by...

Monstrous Compendium Planescape Appendix III 2e Darklight, Strange Undead Darklight: However, the Inner Planes hold certain spots known as "leaks" - places where the energy or matter of one plane seeps onto another. When such a rift occurs on the Negative Energy Plane, spirits frequently try to...

There is more than one way to skin a cat or stat out a concept in D&D. Both fit pretty well, unarmed, unarmored super brawler can work for monks but also the eat spinach in one quick action and get super fighting strength short term is very fitting for barbarian rage (plus in 5e barbarians are...

Cool, thanks. Any quotes from the player race/species end on orc culture in general in FR?

So what do the two new 24 FR books say about Orcs in the Realms now that Orcs are a full PC race and not in the 24 MM and the 24 PH is super light on orc lore and characterization? From the table of contents it looks like Orcs have a single page in the player's FR book along with other PH...

I would say hitting over the head with the pommel, but it is when you do a normal strike that inflicts slashing damage. 🤔

How so? The narrative of the backgrounds? The ones in the 14 PH were fairly generic and archetypal and broad and easily applied to a bunch of concepts that would fit most worlds. The associated feats? In 24 they do have a lot of spellcasting ones from things that I might not expect...

That is check with the DM for house rules in general, not that backgrounds were DM granted as a default without house rules. This applies equally to whether you can play a rogue or a dwarf or a Neutral Good alignment or any other element of a character. The shift of custom backgrounds to the...

It kind of surprises me to see new edition specific monsters that first came out in a 3e module in the 2000s spotlighted in something that is meant to evoke a 1e 80s D&D game. A treant corrupted by demons or something seems like it would hit the same narrative spot and use 80s appropriate...

I don't remember that being part of the 14 PH saying check with the DM for permission. The closest I can find is page 127 in the section on customizing backgrounds, if none of the sample background special features fit your concept then you work with the DM to come up with something. "If you...

Another thing that annoys me about 24 backgrounds is how much they are framed as DM tools for world building and not PC tools for character building. Even when it talks about meeting a player's concept of their character it is framed as an optional DM thing to do. From the 24 SRD in the DM...

It helps but I'd say it was addressed better with Tasha's. :) A number of games are PH only for options, and it will not help those who play in such games. Adding in stuff in specific settings adds stuff for those using those settings or for those DMs willing to allow use of stuff from there.

I had missed that if it was in the last season. Cute.

I think it is more about balance of options versus deliberately making certain specific concepts work well or poorly for specific archetypes. Should there be specific ones that synergize well mechanically (3e half orc barbarian with bonus strength) and ones that are mechanically detrimented (3e...
