    D&D 5E (2024) What 2024 class have you played the most

    @ECMO3 lives in a very different play environment than most of us, I've gathered.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    The easiest way for a company to not have success is to slavishly copy previous success, leading to rapidly diminishing returns.

    Thread block

    There are vehicles to track people's internet presence beyond this site. And most people, in my experience, don't have disparate identities on different sites. They use the same or similar user names, which are often shared with their major social media identities. Not to mention doxxing into...

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    PHB to PHB also isn’t a particularly fair comparison. The first PHB for 4e was intentionally limited since they planned to release more PHBs every year. 4e managed to have 22 classes and 5 books of new subclasses/paragon paths in a 2 year period, the same period in which 5e released exactly...

    The "math" of RPGs

    Yep. And crucially, people remember unexpected occurrences, not the expected ones. Everyone remembers the time the 0.1% chance of catastrophic failure happens, not the 99.9% of the time the reliable success happens.

    The "math" of RPGs

    I mean, it's really difficult in a turn-based strategy game. All of those games are meant to prioritize making good opening moves, which puts you in a stronger position for the next turn, until your advantages snowball to the point where victory is inevitable. 4X games are all like that, RTS...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wizards of the Coast promises to release more “CRPGs that are going to be as serious as BG3” without Larian

    Claude's is the only house I didn't do, and @Ruin Explorer makes a solid point; I like most of the game but I really don't feel like running around the school to gather up trinkets to get S-tier relationships just to see it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Building a High Damage Artificer?

    Battle Smith + Elven Accuracy + Great Weapon Master + Haste did an awful lot of consistent damage. Remember kids, if your GM is silly enough to let flanking grant advantage, and your party is big enough to have 2+ melee characters, you really want to take advantage of it. :)

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    Seemed to work okay for World of Warcraft. I've seen a lot of fantasy/litRPG systems separate out melee warriors from ranged warriors precisely because they're very different tropes.

    Society based on Statistical Probability?

    A whole society based on probability? I mean, what are the odds?

    Disney Gets In Bed With Sora

    I tried to keep it accessible; I figured a joke about Denxyis working for Organization XIII would be too obscure. :)

    Disney Gets In Bed With Sora

    This does seem like a ... Heartless move on Disney's part.

    D&D 5E (2024) Artificer: Spell Storing Item?

    I recognize that as your opinion. I think you're incorrect.

    D&D 5E (2024) Artificer: Spell Storing Item?

    Steel defender is a creature, and can use a magic item as an action. Battle smith lets you spend a bonus action so your steel defender can use an action. No Sage Advice clarification, and the majority of posts I saw on Reddit and other sources supported that conclusion, and my DM approved it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Artificer: Spell Storing Item?

    I can't speak to the 2024 artificer, but that feature was awesome for the 2014 artificer. Bonus action vortex warp 10 times/LR (via giving the item to the steel defender) was amazing.
