    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    I mean.. you're the one who expressed skepticism about their unpopularity. Nobody's saying you and your table are wrong. (Literally playing a gnome in my Eberron game)

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    They're among the least used on both D&D Beyond and in Baldur's Gate 3

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    To be fair, Goliaths only get a bit of the element. Fire goliaths don't resist fire damage and storm goliaths can't breathe underwater.

    D&D General The NPC writing session

    Did you really just make an absurd thread to mock people with whom you disagree? Because this seems very childish.

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    It seems to be within the bounds of WOTC's Fan Content Policy.

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    I wish I had the creative energy of LaserLlama. ETA: Here's a link to the PDF on their Patreon if you, like me, have trouble getting GM Binder to work for you. Lonk

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    I'm not talking about immediately knowing the resistance and immunities of some obscure monster from Kwalish's Compendium of Creeps... I'm talking about a bog standard troll.

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    ...Are we seriously saying that using fire on a troll is metagame knowledge in 2025? D&D Video Games insulted you for not knowing that in the 1990s!

    D&D 5E (2024) The 4 Classes I Would Not Play 1-20 In 5.5

    I'd be neat to have a VTT-supported version of the game with all the best versions of each class. The A5E Berserker (Barbarian rename, not a subclass) is insanely good. I also think the Tales of the Valiant has a better take on the Ranger than 2024, though the A5E Ranger is also pretty neat in...

    D&D General Self-Defeating Rules in D&D

    I must confess I have never seen Spaceballs. ...though I know a few of its more famous scenes.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    I feel like you're letting them off the hook way too easily. If the classic ship combat isn't fun then they should have looked to a game with well-liked ship combat for inspiration rather than just gutting the system. Light of Xaryxis could easily have been a seperate product and it might have...

    D&D General Self-Defeating Rules in D&D

    I never even noticed that you could take things from the Haversack as a bonus action. Great Scott.

    D&D General Self-Defeating Rules in D&D

    Yes?... Things can accomplish more than one task. I don't even know why you're being so pedantic about this.

    D&D General Self-Defeating Rules in D&D

    ...Obviously. But the point of having mechanics around darkness is that it gives the game and the Narrator tools to make the game more interesting. Even if tracking torches and other dungeon logistics isn't something that interests a gaming group, you can still provide mechanical tools to make...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5.5 Fighter Best Eince 2E

    Every class was improved (at least from a pure numbers standpoint). The improvement to Indomitable is more about game feel and usability. In 2014 it did nothing to help you actually succeed on the save. Rolling twice is useless when you have a +1 on the save and the DC is 25. I'm pretty sure...

    D&D General Self-Defeating Rules in D&D

    To me the purpose of darkness is to heighten tension, not as a gotcha to players that didn't remember to stock up on torches. Darkness facilitates stealthy monsters laying ambushes (even with darkvision, anyone without devil sight has a penalty to detect creatures hiding in darkness). It...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5.5 Fighter Best Eince 2E

    Its one of the reasons I dislike alternate takes on Pass Without Trace that make it advantage instead of +10. Advantage doesn't really help that much if you have a -2 modifier.

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    Honestly I'm still trying to figure out why Hill Goliaths are yellow.
