I gave up on Foundation, it just didn't get me interested, I'm now going to give at least the first book of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony a go, see how that is.

I did once consider making each scroll being created in a specific language. Dragonborn tend to write theirs in draconic, if your elf wizard can't read draconic then they can't use the scroll but the dragonborn barbarian might be able to.

Keen scimitar or rapier with improved critical gets it down to 12+. One of the things I liked about 3e/4e was that weapons were made to feel different via die sizes, threat range, and crit damage. You could do less base damage but crit more often or crit less but harder. Critting more often was...

Not all that surprising, they've just recently released the revised version of 5e.

I'm allowing something similar in my homebrew, but you do need some training. If you're a fighter who has one of their careers in magician or priest then you can use arcane or divine scrolls. Spellcasters are better at it in that they don't have to roll when using spell scrolls that are on their...

This looks more like a human hanging out with a bunch of dwarves; like Snow White if she was more likely to smash your skull in instead of eating an apple.

Demihuman deities also has stats for his avatar.

Thanks for sharing, this is a great resource.

No, you're correct about 5e (unless they removed this option in 2024). Identify is the quick way of determining magical properties, otherwise you learn them with a short rest.

I'm fine with short campaigns, I ran one during the lockdowns all those years ago. At least I'd probably consider it one. It was a bunch of the thunder rift modules strung together into a very loose campaign. I would have finished with the party escaping the rift but I think things had gone back...

Just a note that you can change hit points from fixed to manual, otherwise (from memory) using long rests and resetting hit points resets the override max HP slot.

It might be better to go back to 4e and see if those rules can easily be ported into 5e.

Thankfully I don't, I thought you might since you mentioned that you'd just have to have the same argument at the table if your players aren't also reading the forums.

Has DnD ever had good hide rules? I suspect the 2024 rules are just keeping with tradition.

Let's not go to crazy levels, dozens might be more accurate than thousands :ROFLMAO: I find it is useful when I have a rules inquiry to get different view points, it often helps me figure out how I want to rule on these fringe cases.

Depends how argumentative your players are. I think with my group I can get away with saying, I've discussed this with others online and this is how I'm ruling it, and then we get back to the game.

In that situation, I didn't allow rogues (or anyone who tries to stealth) to become hidden again, once they know that you're behind that boulder you can no longer pop up and keep surprising people. If it was a wall or something similar that allowed you to reposition unseen, then they could get...

The rules for this hasn't changed, it's still based on the individual classes. If one of your classes is a 4th level wizard they are still limited to 2nd level spells in their spellbooks, even if they have 3 levels of arcane trickster which grants them the spell slots of a 5th level spellcaster.
