    D&D General The Revised Monster Manual was released 1 year ago today! How have you liked facing down and using the new monsters?

    Overall the mm changes to creatures themselves were good, likewise with the part where setting specific creatures were removed from that core book so they could be slotted into their respective setting specific books. It should have gone further with dm support by setting out things like the...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Relevance to what I wrote? Are you attempting to claim that a charismatic player standing up as a self proclaimed authority of something like fairness roleplaying or whatever while part of the same friend and party group as their fellow players is incapable of exerting pressure?

    Uhh... Read my post more carefully?... You know, given how "Milgram's results showed that 65% of the participants in the study delivered the maximum shocks.4 Of the 40 participants in the study, 26 delivered the maximum shocks, while 14 stopped before reaching the highest levels."

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Even eberron style faith in a concept or whatever the wording was starts breaking down into rules for thee but not for me in ways that undermine the credibility of that pc having the faith it's player claims as they violate the concept blatantly enough to start questioning and eventually...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    It sounds like you are talking about some of the stuff aimed at GM's to use on NPCs who tend to hire PCs from the book of exalted deeds. "Demanded" by whom? Which post? What change are you talking about?

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    We might as well be fair. What he's describing is pretty much a big part of the plot for a light novel series called "is it wrong to pickup girls in a dungeon". That plot thread between Bell & Hestia was pretty significantly altered/removed/reassigned in the anime to be between Bell & another...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    It's pretty simple but I can fill in a what for that bold bit. Don't think too hard on it, there probably wasn't too much thinking involved. Back before this call for a survey brigade killed the long rest warlock one of the 5.24 goals was to normalize class/subclass level contributions so...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    To a degree yes, but it was more about the impact of putting people into groups and having one group in power with the minimal rules over the other second group carrying a negatively charged term like prisoners. The prisoners who were under power also developed notably in less interesting ways...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Yup. The 5e version does but it also sandbags the GM when it comes to the patron actually doing that because every interaction can immediately be backhanded by the player with a show me the money rejection pushing for more and more sweetener from a patron instantly stuck resorting to "please...

    D&D 5E (2024) An Optional Counterspell Metagame

    That's great but irrelevant to my point You are effectively asking for feedback on what we think about half of a Homebrew change while we have absolutely no idea about how the other half might look like how often it shows up or how threatening/trivial it might be when encountered

    D&D 5E (2024) An Optional Counterspell Metagame

    There are almost no monsters that cast cantrips, cultist has a sickle & even archmages have a noncantrip unique attack with the lich being similar. It seems like a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist or a must take thumb twiddling homebrew penalty

    D&D 5E (2024) An Optional Counterspell Metagame

    I don't really understand the poll and how exactly "meta" is being used (metaplot? Metagame? Meta-uhh? Metaverse?) However I think that 3.5 had one of the better versions of counter spell because it used a simple spellcraft check welded to the opportunity cost of a readied action and a vancian...

    D&D General Pact of the Blade Warlocks - How often do you change your weapon?

    Ime they only ever change it if they don't already have a rapier or whatever (ie super edge case) and when they find a more magical version than they already have.

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Hypothetical problem. Did it ever happen? Sure. Did it happen more often than the need to make serious efforts at maintaining the oath added to the game with paladin players proactively making an effort to maintain their oath? Absolutely not. Paladin carries weight because it's not simply a...

    Your quite a few years late to worry. [ https://oots.fandom.com/wiki/Evan%27s_Spiked_Tentacles_of_Forced_Intrusion 😇may have hinted a villain or two had such a spell over the years 😇

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    You've gravely misunderstood what The Archfey are. That fix you describe is likely a minor fey at best because The Archfey are entities like Lord/Emperor Oberon, Queen Mab, & Queen Titania. To put it into scale, one of those links goes to the fr wiki and another of them is a real world...

    D&D General Warlocks' patrons vs. Paladin Oaths and Cleric Deities

    Seems pretty close to word for word with the first & definitely in sentiment for both. I'd not be surprised if one of the videos where Crawford gushed on exactly that has him saying it there too. Unfortunately it's a badly designed message said so loudly & clearly in 5e's design along with a...

    Only one of those tweets was from Crawford and you caught the post between noticing that the forum needs x changed to twitter to show the tweet. Normally Crawfords god awful hot takes are easily ignored yes, but in this case the rules and associated are written that way too. The Archfiend The...

    Yes. It absolutely 100% was. So much so that someone on wotc's payroll would have featured making it clear if lonely Isle were shooting their video today This one from Crawford is especially telling given that he was so excited to get it out there when the question was an entirely unrelated...
