One thing to bring up is that they changed the relationship of Spelljamming civilization to groundling civilization in later products (at least The War Captain's Companion, I don't know which others). The original box takes IMO the superior approach where Spelljamming is something groundlings...

I'm putting together a giant list of monsters from 1e and 2e that I can use for making random encounter lists on various worlds and planes and such in the traditional Planescape cosmology. In doing this, I realized that while I've been putting a lot of work into determining (and in some cases...

Where is that at? Is it not on DnDBeyond? This might be a situation where knowledge of the lore really is important. The magic of the world is ruled by three gods of magic—one Good, one Neutral, one Evil. Those gods don‘t have clerics. Instead, the orders of wizardry are sponsored by them and...

Here's a quick overview of how stuff has been in the Spelljammer in the past (2e), as well as the Astral Plane (2e and 5e are essentially identical) for those who never knew or don't recall: -Wildspace was simply outer space, looking basically like we imagine it to look. It's where you are once...

There have been a few creatures that have had their type changed already in later 5e publications; the ones I’ve seen are a few Beasts becoming Monstrosities. Has anyone made a list of which creatures in the book have different types than their original 5e printing?

I assume the system developers have heard the news about WotC acquiring DnD Beyond. They will almost certainly make their own VTT at some point. This will be interesting, and quite possibly have an impact on the Level Up system on Foundry. There are probably about three main ways DnD Beyond...

This is what made it finally click for me, but boy was the rule confusing for a while.

Compelled Duel is supported by Level Up because it is in the O5e PHB. It is not reprinted because it is not in the SRD and therefore cannot be reprinted.

Since it doesn't say, I started tracking XP for the party after they leveled up to 2. They almost have enough from random encounters to level, and this week is the kobolds, which will give them enough. So, as far as I could tell the adventure doesn't say, but that's where it's happening for our...

I'm very curious about whether some of the differences in these variables are intentional design, or just the results of different designers working on different classes leading to some design inconsistencies. This is important, because if there are actual mechanical (or even conceptual) reasons...

I never want to see that New Posts page or that Forum List page. If I see either, it's because I misclicked. When I come to the site, I first look at one of two things: the front page with the new articles, or my notifications. After dealing with one or both of them, my next goal is to get to...

I’ve really wondered about the intended meaning of the wording of that maneuver, but I think your question actually makes the answer more apparent. Reactions can be taken at any time, as long as the trigger is met. Therefore, all reactions have to state their trigger. For this...

I'd like to get opinions about the balance of this weapon. For context, it is a ranged weapon found in Level Up. Almost all of the ranged weapons in the game have identical stats to their 5e counterparts (at least when Thrown in the case of melee weapons), so you don't need any knowledge of...

Thanks. I might just be completely failing my Investigation check, but it just doesn't seem balanced to me. I think maybe if I ask on the general 5e subforum I can get more eyes on it, since this one is a little sparse.

Here's the spreadsheets. The first sheet is a direct side-by-side listing of the features of each O5e class (including the bonus features from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything). The second sheet is an attempt to use A5e classes to replicate O5e classes as closely as possible by means of optional...

Follow up on the spear-thrower. How would you all interpret the bolded part: "A spear-thrower can be used to increase the effectiveness of a javelin, spear, or trident. A weapon thrown in this manner deals an additional 1d6 damage when the target is within its normal range." Would the extra...

There is obviously the detect magic spell, but I don‘t see the O5e rule that you can just tell an item is magical by handling it. I see rules and advice for identifying the properties if magical items, but cannot find any sort of general rule. Not even a suggestion to allow an Arcana check, for...

One thing that I’ve noticed is that the additional exploration and social features are just extra. The balance seems to be intended based primarily on the combat features in O5e and A5e (and what few exploration features were included in O5e design). That being said, I do have that all figured...

So you would rule that attempts to Shove someone off a mount automatically fail? I can see where you are coming from, but the rules actually address what happens when you try to knock a mounted person prone without forced movement (which results in knocking them off the mount and ending up prone...
