    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    well, they are core player options, so if you were gonna make a 2024 setting it'd definitely make sense to make sure they were well integrated into it (as opposed to kind of just being an addon). that doesn't necessarily need to be making them super common though

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    sounds like a world building issue to me that might be true for adventurers...but how much would crafting npcs care about that? even if the answer is "a lot"--well. we'll come back to that. once every 2d4 days, you mean. recovering constitution is quite the advantage i'd wager... but even if...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    lots of wizards got to levels where they could cast 9th level spells? that's...a claim. hey, uh...you know xp is FAR more common then wish, right? uh...no. a magical crafting system that requires you to be powerful enough to cast wish to reliably use it is not a functional basis for a...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    yeah, JUST use the apex of mortal magic to undo it. that's a widespread enough commodity to support a setting with. can we just agree that tsr era crafting has a much steeper cost then 3e crafting? not if you actually look at those rules, it seems. so if we're trying to determine whether or...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    "Hey, it's fine, guys, there's only a CHANCE I develop permanent weakness from making this magic item, instead of it being guaranteed!" that's...not a lot better? unless it's like astronomical odds, in which case...why bother mentioning it at all? yeah, but that's pretty much entirely divorced...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    that...still achieves the result of characters capable of making magic items being extremely limited. ah, yes, like permanency, which...is an 8th level spell. that reduces your constitution by 1 per use. yeah. very conducive to an industrialized magic society there. right. becmi's item...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    don't becmi through 2e generally assume that the knowledge to make most magic items have been broadly lost, which is why they have to be found by adventurers? even if not (or even if later editions assume the same), that still negates nothing - it'd just mean other editions have toyed with the...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    for one, that assumes magic item creation produced the same results in every edition. for another, that assumes interpreting the same results in a different way means you're not interpreting the results at all. the latter is obviously false on its face. the former, from everything i've heard...

    that...doesn't negate the point at all.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    wasn't the setting literally built (in part) from what keith and the other writers thought was a logical extension of the magic and crafting rules of 3e?

    nobody said the kingdom was good aligned. also i don't really have a problem with evil orcs so it's really funny that you used that as an example towards me specifically

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    ok so im having trouble understanding what you mean here. every dragonborn color is a noble house...but then there's commoners who just wear brown? or do you mean the commoners have brown scales and "wear" is a typo? in either case i wonder if it'd be more interesting to split it by dragon...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    uh...well for level up...no, but actually yes. kind of. almost. ish. level up makes references to the worlds of to save a kingdom, war of the burning sky, and zeitgeist, but those are more like midgard in that enpublishing already made those, they weren't specifically made for a5e (tsak was...

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    okay final result is, over the course of 184 combat encounters of presumably 3 rounds each from levels 1 to 20, that a regular martial hits 51 more times and a fighter hits 65 more times, assuming that all buffs, debuffs, class features, encounter designs, etc. essentially wash out. this was...

    What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

    yeah i've got a few Zeitgeist Gears of Revolution (the idea of running this literally got me into dming to begin with. it's just so cool) a sequel to the above that basically just grabs every example conspiracy in the setting book and goes "These are canon. Die." masks of nyarlathotep...
