    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    I finally got around to playing with the 2024 rules last weekend. My daughter was DMing and I was playing a Barbarian and a Rogue. Our combats were a 50/50 split between me completely forgetting to use Weapon Masteries and me remembering to use them, and then thinking, “wow, that was a tad bit...

    D&D General Blessing of the Lone Champion: what's the best pick for a solo adventurer?

    If your DM allows the Swashbuckler subclass for the Rogue, that seems like it could be a lot of fun. Sneaking around all over the place, with Inspiration rerolls when you need them. When you get into combat you have THP for survivability, and no need for an ally nearby to get your sneak...

    D&D General Do THIS, WotC!

    The obvious choice for me would be: Reprint the 3.5 Expanded Psionics Handbook, updated for 5e (or 5.5e, if you will).

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    Jess Lanzillo Departs Wizards of the Coast

    I was going to suggest Ogre Battle or The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke, but your suggestion tops those.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    At the risk of derailing this thread, I feel like the Exhaustion mechanic would be better with the following changes: A) Levels 1-5 - each level of Exhaustion requires a Short Rest to recover from. A Long Rest clears all levels of Exhaustion. B) Level 6 - rather than death, instead causes the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    In theory, that sounds like a perfectly acceptable idea. In practice, that’s what made so many people dislike the 2014 Berserker’s Frenzy mechanic.

    D&D 5E (2024) The 7 5.5e FRPG Subclasses Survived

    Oh that’s right. It’s been so long that I completely forgot about them. Maybe they took those 8 and pared them down to 7.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is it possible to balance the six abilities?

    Interesting chart! I feel like I would have done the mental abilities differently: Power = Intelligence Precision = Wisdom Which I suppose would leave Endurance = Charisma by process of elimination, although I’m still working through that one in my noggin.

    D&D General Would You Buy an RPG Product Printed on a Gutenberg Press?

    Steve Gutenberg is not a heretic. In fact, he made some delightfully entertaining movies back in the day. And recently, he was bravely aiding in evacuating residents during the California wildfires.

    D&D 5E (2024) Anyone else dislike the "keyword" style language of 5.24?

    Correction, you don’t Like it. Now go look up Like in the Rules Glossary.

    D&D 5E (2014) Most Used 5E Rule Book (Besides Core Books)?

    Strange thread behavior?

    I was busy all day yesterday and hadn’t been keeping up with the forums. I jumped on this morning and none of the threads are bold (indicating they have new, unread posts), despite them saying there were recent posts earlier this morning. I verified that I’m logged into my account 🤷🏻‍♂️...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Monster Manual (2025)

    I’m still scratching my head as to why they reorganized the MM in the first place. The 2014 listing was perfectly fine. Jeremy mentioned how people didn’t know to look in Oozes for a Gelatinous Cube? Well flip to pages 351-352 and there’s a handy little Index of Stat Blocks which is listed in...

    D&D General A little labor of love for the day after Valentine’s Day, plus a quick survey.

    I also voted for Wonderland 2e24. For some reason, that world always pops into my head when I think of the Feywild. I know it doesn’t quite involve faeries, but it still has that bizarre, manic vibe to it.

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    It’s funny you mention that. I’ve watched everything Critical Role has put out (including the Burger King game), but the Monsterhearts video was the only one I couldn’t finish. I guess I’m just too old to deal with high school drama.
