    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    We are looking at the 2014 rules not 2024 (where things with that are even more messed up). But in 2014...see invisible makes an invisible thing visible. Now it does not technically say "remove the Invisible condition"....but we are at accountant level of stingy to go that far imo. With the...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    Yeah but considering that this is a half edition (frankly a quarter edition), that is still a great note for them. Half editions don;t normally sell as well as the OG product.

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    Part of this can be mitigated by DM presentation. It is true its easy to focus on the "kill shots" and not recognize everything else that lead up to that. If I cast a fireball and it hits 5 guys but none of them die, at first glance....yeah it feels pretty crappy. But if the DM goes "holy...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    Yes, but imagine if the coder for that game didn't have to bump up the stats for all of the monsters. they also had to add in new monsters and completely change up the encounters to adjust to the proper difficulty. And you had to do this week in and week out. And you don't get paid. Welcome...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    And Adventurer's Guild. We have to remember that a number of people never get to play home games, there only dnd may lie in gaming events and AG adventurers. All of the broken stuff is available to them by default.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Now that we have had some time to let the box office settle, the consensus seems to be that Superman was NOT a box office hit. Ultimately it lost money once all the expenses were tallied up. But its an interesting debate, there are a lot of notes around merchandising, streaming numbers, etc...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    and why it wasn't buffed in 5.5? Honestly 8d6 at 5th level is pretty darn good. A 5th level cleric might have 31 hp. So a single fireball with just a touch above the answer can absolutely melt some 5th level characters. as was noted, its really the upcast where the problem lies. A 8d6 3rd...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Its noted here, but I'll highlight the key note: http://dnd2024.wikidot.com/class:multiclassing Spells Prepared. You determine what spells you can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a level 4 Ranger / level 3 Sorcerer, for...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I already noted that the world could tolerate their big plan, because they were such world heroes. but then that mass world uniting plan failed. So its not about the immediate sacrifice, its about it was never even a consideration after that, even when there was a really really good chance the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Not upgrading? What version of D&D 5e are you sticking with?

    I am curious how the 2024 monk holds up against 2014 classes. I've been in the camp that the monk was weak in 2014, is it balanced now, or is it OP against toehr 2014 classes I wonder.

    Dungeons & Dragons Reveals Two New Spells That Will Appear in Forgotten Realms Books

    and rituals do not need slots. A wizard with no a spell slot left on their person can still do a ritual. My point is, you can't just take a spell, casting it as a ritual to get the casting time to 1 minute+, and throw on circle magic. It has to be a 1 minute+ casting time at base.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    These people are your heroes. So when they are like "we are going out there and we are going to beat Galactus"....yep I believe them. And then they come back with "we don't know how to save us....well actually we do, with the sacrifice of 1 life we can save our entire race" and when they refuse...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I think its because people are parents and go so far to protect their kids that they 100% would not get it. To "possibly" save your kid, your going to kill my kid, and my friend's kid, and my neightbor's kid....and the entire human race!!! The problem with morality debates is they tend to...

    Dungeons & Dragons Reveals Two New Spells That Will Appear in Forgotten Realms Books

    So a huge thing I just noticed in that article. To be viable for a circle spell, the spell has to have a 1 minute casting time+, and use spell slots (aka no rituals). So these spells are 1 minute long casting time spells normally....that's.....garbage tbh.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Welcome to 4th edition! :) In seriousness, that is most how 4e worked. The rituals were usable more often but they cost gold to use, but the same general outline of what you put above.

    yeah that was my reaction. Ok I can do this 1 mile away cool.....wait its still just a 20 foot radius effect? That seems a pretty limited use case.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Just to be fair, I think Maxperson's getting beat up a bit on their side of the argument, but I respect that this really isn't cut and dry. We are getting a bit off topic on some of the nuances of spell and attack and what all of that means. It all comes back to this line: You have Advantage...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Ok, so looks like we agree that True Strike is modifying the attack with magic. So we at least found that area in the middle.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    If its not magical guidance, how am I using my magical stat? So I do what I normally do when I aim a ranged spell attack....aka the attack that is guided by magic. And while radiant damage is not a guiding effect....its certainly a magical one.
