    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Druid discussion

    I have a thought, but there’s no simple way to translate it into a rule without adding a new creature type. In addition to Beasts, I think Druids should be able to change into Monstrosities that are comprised of other Beasts. For example: YES Tressym - a cat with bird wings Owlbear - half...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Druid discussion

    The list of spells that can be cast while Wildshaped reminds me a lot of the Moonkin form from WoW. It’s a very popular Druid build in that game, so that may be where WotC got their inspiration.

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Monk Discussion

    I’m willing to bet that the Monk Weapons list isn’t supposed to say “melee” at all, and its inclusion is just a typo. It is probably meant to match their Weapon Proficiencies, but they couldn’t just say “which are the weapons with which you are proficient” because of multiclassing issues.

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Spell Discussion

    Power Word Fortify - unless I’m missing something, it says it fortifies up to six creatures. Which means you can distribute it evenly, or you can just slap all 120 thp on the tank.

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    YES! This worked perfectly*. Now I can enjoy the wonderful story-line of BG3, with all the customization of Solasta. Maybe, for Larian's next endeavor, they can make Icewind Dale 3 and we'll be able to create our entire parties without all these backdoor shenanigans. *I did have to hunt...

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    I haven't been following this thread because i hadn't yet beaten the game and didn't want spoilers. But now that I've beaten it and want to start a new campaign, I see this post and am curious how to go about creating a party of only PCs. Is there some mod that allows it for single player, or...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Unarmed Gloomstalker

    I have no "official" ruling on this. But I would say that, as a Monk, your body parts (fists, feet, elbows, knees, forehead) ARE your weapons and, therefore, would qualify. I assume that's also why your unarmed strikes are considered weapon attacks in the first place. But I'm also a very...

    Critical Role Call of the Netherdeep playthrough commentary [spoilers]

    I’m starting to second guess my decision. Maybe I’ll stick with something simpler until I have more DMing experience and the girls have more playing experience.

    Critical Role Call of the Netherdeep playthrough commentary [spoilers]

    Sorry for the thread necro, but I a quick question pertaining to Call of the Netherdeep. I was considering running it for my daughter and her friends since it's just collecting dust on my bookshelf. But, being a fledgling DM, I thought the whole "rivals" thing might be a little too complicated...

    D&D Movie/TV Check Out These Previews Of Hasbro's New D&D 'FAST' Channel

    For the record, I had never heard of "FAST," "Plex," or "Freevee" until this thread was created. With those technological limitations in mind, would somebody be able to inform this old geezer if Plex is something I can access on my Smart TV, or is it an online streaming platform only? I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Should WotC change D&D's trade dress in 2024?

    With it being the 50th anniversary, they could add some more gold to the design.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    There is a live play called The Dungeon Run in which one of the players (Morgan Peter Brown) plays an Echo Knight Fighter (Valcorio) in their Campaign 2.

    D&D Movie/TV Check Out These Previews Of Hasbro's New D&D 'FAST' Channel

    Reminds me of Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk. I don’t know if this happens for everyone else, but somebody somewhere injects ads into the podcast. But they clearly don’t listen to the podcast to determine where to insert them. So they wind up cutting off Morrus, Peter, and Jessica in...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Update: 2024 Rulebooks & Survey Results

    Any word on the next playtest packet? It’s been a couple weeks since the last survey ended and I was hoping today would be the day for the new one. Next week is American Thanksgiving so if they don’t release it today, I don’t see them releasing it until the week of the 27th (probably on the 30th).

    Rats! I wanted to watch Encounter Party, but the Bruins are playing the Sabres tonight

    D&D Movie/TV Check Out These Previews Of Hasbro's New D&D 'FAST' Channel

    So, correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like I need to watch these shows live as they’re aired? I can’t record them and watch them later or stream them at my leisure?

    D&D General Edition Changes and Brand Identity: Remembering New Coke

    Am I the only person here taken aback by Snarf comparing Coke to the New York Yankees and Pepsi to the …….. Detroit Tigers?!?! Was the Boston Red Sox just too obvious?

    D&D General When do you overrule RAW?

    My take away from Matt’s decision is: while I’m perfectly fine with the last 2 bullet points of the Sentinel feat, the first bullet point should include one of the following: A) a size limitation (…if the target is one size larger than you or smaller) Or B) a saving throw to avoid the speed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ending movement in occupied square?

    My personal adjudication would be to have all players involved in the collision make either an Acrobatics or Athletics check (probably with disadvantage because they don’t see the collision about to happen). Those that fail are knocked prone. Those that succeed either absorb the impact...

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    In my daughter's lingo, "cringe" has now become an adjective. She uses a heavy dose of "slay" as well. The other day she actually said to me, "bestie, what?" I had to remind her that I'm, in fact, not her "bestie."
