    D&D 5E (2014) Spell point cost values—what's the rationale?

    I guess it helps to look at another way. Rather than comparing the jump in spell point cost from one spell level to the next, look at the difference between the spell point cost and the spell level. The progression is: 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4

    D&D General Onboarding a newbie

    My daughter and I have been trying to convince her cousin to try playing D&D with us. After a bit of hemming and hawing, she finally said yes. But now I'm torn about how to get started with her character. I've heard the best way to introduce the game to a new player is to just have them dive...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    My reason is simple, but boring: I grew up with the Forgotten Realms books and video games so I know it better. After watching Critical Role for several years now, I’ve gotten to know it well so we’ve switched to Exandria.

    D&D General Blue on Blue (Goblins)

    Korrenberg Chronicle - Psion’s Primer basically converted all the creatures from 3e’s Expanded Psionic Handbook to 2014 5e, including the Blue Goblins, but as a playable race/species rather than a “monster.”

    D&D 5E (2024) Teos talks about using the hero’s of the Borderlands Starter Box to run games.

    The new episodes drop on Wednesdays around 8:15am Eastern Time according to my notifications. As for when the episodes get recorded, I have no idea.

    D&D 5E (2024) Teos talks about using the hero’s of the Borderlands Starter Box to run games.

    Do they plan on eventually releasing a standalone book with just the adventure and maps for those of us who don’t need the whole boxed set (as opposed to the DDB version)?

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    Does anyone happen to know if they plan on selling the adventure and maps separately? While I like the idea of the other accouterments, I really don’t need any of those extras.

    D&D General Friday Fun: Ruin A D&Dism By Changing One [thing]

    Tales from the Yawning Mortal (it’s a very boring adventure)

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    Waitaminit, if you accidentally didn’t click Gnome, and @Chaltab accidentally did click Gnome, wouldn’t that just even out? (FYI, in majored in Gnome Math in college).

    D&D General The Shadow?!?!?!

    So does that make him a Paladin?

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    I’m really looking forward to seeing how they handle the changes from the 2014 rules to the 2024 rules. IIRC, they used some 2024 rules during their Australia shows (at least I vaguely remember Ashley using a 2024 version of a spell or something).

    D&D General The ph icon characters

    Or maybe it’s some sort of Blind Spot situation where Lidda woke up one day naked and covered in tattoos. Now she has to figure out what each of them mean.

    D&D General All known sales of Dungeons & Dragons video games

    There was also a Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II that was a lot like the first one except you callus play 2 player cooperative. EDIT: Oops, I should have read the other replies first before posting.

    D&D 5E (2024) Atlas of Faerun (with some pictures from the internet)

    So not a physical foldout map, then. ☹️ Booooooo!

    D&D 5E (2024) Representing afflictions in D&D 5e - which do you think work best/least dislike.

    I’m sure I’m not the only one here who despises Ability Score reduction. As a concept, it’s sound. But in practice, it’s a real PITA to have to adjust everything on your sheet that relies on the ability affected. Constitution wasn’t too bad because it only affected your Hit Points and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms book trailer

    Are those combinations really a thing? I was just making it up off the top of my head by combining elements from each one. White live in Arctic, Green live in Forest, so Green & White live in Arctic Forest aka Taiga.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms book trailer

    Oh I was just joking. I guess I should have made that clearer in my post .

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms book trailer

    It’s a Green & White Dragon. They make their homes in the Taiga and have a breathe weapon that shoots poisonous ice crystals.

    D&D General How Do I Help Mentor a GM Making Rookie Mistakes?

    Wow, your issues are a lot worse than mine. My 13 year old daughter decided she wanted to try her hand at DMing. I created 2 characters and she created a third (yes, I know we’re breaking the unwritten rules of “don’t play more than one character” and “the DM shouldn’t play a character” but...

    Critical Role's The Mighty Nein Reveals First Look, Season 1 to Air on November 19th

    It also helps that we, the viewers, got to watch the entire campaign. Whereas, with Vox Machina, the story starts off En Media Res entering Kraghammer since it picks up from their home game
