    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    I think your suggestion is a good one that will help DMs and players at the table. That said, I could easily see a 'while enraged, your excess adrenaline causes you to notice the most minor of things, giving you a bonus to Wisdom (Perception) checks' as an explanation, if they wanted to write...

    D&D Movie/TV Dragonlancing TV show being worked on by WotC confirmed

    Willow's daughter (who I believe is the actor's real life daughter) was a standout of the new Willow show and is now free after it was cancelled, so maybe?

    D&D 5E (2014) Doing 5ed without classes.

    This is a very common problem, but 5e =/= D&D. The core rules (take a number, add it to a d20 roll, compare to another number, get effects based on whether it is higher or lower, and maybe by how much higher or lower it is) don't have to support D&D-alikes, but can be used as a base for a lot of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    Except the balrog, with its wings of shadow, fiery sword and whip, a demon of the ancient days, and a foe beyond any of you.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    I, too (three?) would love to hear/read reviews from folks familiar with AiMe on The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplay. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Creator Summit--'D&D Beyond And Beyond'

    Oh! On the influencer mental health stuff, I don't think most people were asking that their therapist bills be paid, but if Kenrick and Perkins had put out an 8-minute video about how beating up on Ginny Di because they invited her to the summit was unfair, it would have helped. Or at least...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Creator Summit--'D&D Beyond And Beyond'

    For the four subclasses for each class goal and the eight schools of magic, well it is a playtest and could easily change. And 8 goes into 4 pretty easily – I can see matching up Enchantment and Illusion into one subclass, with Abjuration and Divination being another subclass, or Conjuration and...

    D&D 5E (2014) I can’t seem to DM written adventures.

    Probably like Elfshot, or The Three Ogre Brothers, or The Serpent of Glenreddïn (that last is least likely, since it's my most trad adventure for Beowulf: Age of Heroes). I used to hate prewritten adventures and refused to run them the first two decades of gaming after a few bad experiences...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D's Upcoming Digital Tabletop

    Good point. The work computer is optimised for layout and writing; not 3D graphics. And the Chromebook would be super easy at the game table, but probably can't handle even being a client, more than likely.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D's Upcoming Digital Tabletop

    Yeah, reddit had a post this morning with a 3D artist complaining that his job has lost his interest because an AI could sculpt and rig a model in a quarter of the time. So AI-made 3D models will probably be viable by launch-time, if not tomorrow.

    Today we’ve updated our website (www.ashenfrontiers.com) with information about the two game systems Ashen Frontiers will support, and provided a preview of the six classes for the game!

    D&D 5E (2014) Riddle Mechanic? Suggestion? Advice?

    So my approach is this: 1) this is a betting game. The riddle-asker puts a coin on the stump (in the pot). 2) each player that wants to take their chances matches the coin on the stump (throws into the pot). 3) the riddle-asker asks the riddle 4) going in whatever order, the first...

    Roll20's Latest Usage Report: D&D Steady, Cthulhu Down!

    I think the "movie" is a reference to the 3D James Cameron one with the blue people. Avatar the Last Airbender might have had a movie but we should not darken the skies with words about it.

    Rules FAQ How Does Mounted Combat Work in D&D 5E?

    If you're riding a controlled mount (and don't need the extra speed or the disengage) have your mount Dodge each round. Now when regular attacks or OAs come up, the DM has to choose between trying to hit the mount at disadvantage or you without disadvantage.

    Rules FAQ How Do Opportunity Attacks Work In D&D 5E?

    There's no basis for argument there. If the monster moved and it wasn't under its own power then it doesn't trigger an OA. Done. — • — Let's describe a tactical situation and see what you think about it. We begin a turn with a character with 50 feet of movement and a monster 5 feet away (say...

    Rules FAQ How Do Opportunity Attacks Work In D&D 5E?

    So all the PCs would be able to back away from the monsters, possibly gaining cover or complete immunity from being attacked (i.e. more movement than the monster and the monster being melee only)? Every round, always?

    Rules FAQ How Do Opportunity Attacks Work In D&D 5E?

    One thing I that seems to be often ignored in these discussions is that if you are mounted then you are not moving yourself — your mount is moving you. This allows mounted combatants to do fun things like ride-by attacks. It also means that you can have your mount do smart things (like take the...

    D&D 5E (2014) List of 5E powered RPGs?

    Whereas with BEOWULF: Age of Heroes or Ruins of Symbaroum, the general assumption is that you have access to the basic rules anyways (from the free PDF on WotC's website, the free rules on D&D Beyond, or actually having the three core rulebooks because if you're playing 5e, you probably have the...
