I'm creating a multiclass higher level PC [edit: under 2024 rules], and am confused on which spells I can cast with which spell slots. I thought I had the rules down, but realize now there is nuance I hadn't considered. Looking for opinions from those who have more experience than I do. PC is...

I am about to play a Halfling Rogue (9th level, Arcana trickster) / Sorcerer (3rd level, Draconic or Wild). He is attuned to a Dagger of Blindsight, and has the spells Fog Cloud, Minor Illusion, and Tasha's Hideous Laughter (in addition to many others). I have a lot of questions about how to...

What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings? A user named PJ Ace spent $250 in Kling credits and 9 hours re-editing the Fellowship trailer to bring that vision to life Quoting PJ Ace: "My process was: Screenshot all 102 shots in the trailer. Remix them to Ghibli style in @OpenAI 's...

We are about to end Tomb of Annihilation, which has been a fantastic adventure. Likely we're ending (spoilers ahead): We're going to intentionally put a bag of holding in a portable hole, create a gate to the Astral plane, and intentionally get sucked into the Astral Sea to escape certain...

Going through the new Wild Magic sorcerer, with the massive change to Tides of Chaos which basically let's you use the Wild Magic table every other round, and looking at the new Wild Magic table, I gotta say I think this is the best Sorcerer subclass now. While before this subclass could wreck...

Pact Tactics has early access to the DMG and does extensive coverage of Magic Items. 1) Some items nerfed, like Cube of Force. Others were buffed, like Sphere of Annihilation. 2) The DMG has 19 new magic items, and includes most of the old magic items along with items from a variety of...

There’s been a lot of discussion of AI on the forum, and most of it stresses the fear that creators will see their creations used without their permission to benefit some megacorporation. I am not here to argue against that issue. But I wanted to highlight some of the ways my D&D group has used...

The 5.24e New Cleric has a number of changes from the old. The biggest changes, in my opinion, are in some key spells. So let's talk about it! CORE CLASS: Spells prepared: was level+wis, now set amount based on chart. Very similar. Cantrips: can now be changed on gaining level. Lev 1 Divine...

We have a new edition. It's an exciting time for the message board. Lots of old people posting again. Lots of new people posting. Lots of interesting discussions going on. A good time for the board. And then we have WOTC/Hasbro posts. Lots of anger. Lots of attacking each other over perceived...

5.24e has a fair number of entirely new spells. I am presenting the ten I'm aware of, though there are many that have the same name as before but entirely different mechanics I am not including, and there are also some from supplement books not originally in the PHB that are now in the PHB that...

The movie Hundreds of Beavers is worth seeing, if you liked old Monty Python level of absurd movies, with a sprinkling of Looney Toons. It's black and white, there is no dialogue (for the most part), and well written. Smart, silly, funny. Apparently it's better with an audience, and it' plays...

I'm wondering what games people think are the best d20 space games, which are not fantasy games in space. No spells, no magic, not looking for anything like spells unless it involves psionics. So no on Starfinder. The first that comes to my mind is the old d20 Future, which I do think is a...

I am going to play a one-shot (or maybe a few shots) with a level three PC. The DM likely will let me play a playtest character. What are some idea for a third level playtest PC? Any race. Optimized or non-optimized doesn't matter. Cool story or just bashes heads, either is fine. What are some...

A user named Delight has done extensive playtesting and a review of every element of the Bastion system, posted a Google Doc about it open for others to see, and it includes at the bottom how they filled out the survey on the Bastion portion of these playtest rules. It's good. It's so good I am...

Does the concept of subspecies of Elves come across as racist to you? This question comes from the Half-Race Apperception Thread

I can't recall seeing this level of detail reported about a single weekend of movies.: https://deadline.com/2023/06/box-office-the-flash-bomb-elemental-1235419478/ Writer Anthony D'Alessandro is naming exactly what was spent, in which methods, on some of marketing (though not all of the...

Forget how you think the rules currently handle searching for traps and disarming them, and searching for secret doors and figuring out how to open them. How do you think the new rules should handle these tasks, and how show they clarify the rules to make it clear that's how it works? For me...

I really like the new proposed Warlock class. I could have posted this in one of the various other Warlock threads but those seem very loaded down with people complaining about the changes. But this is not a "plus" thread (which I don't really believe in) so feel free to disagree here with all...

Treantmonk has an upcoming good video on racial options for the druid Wildshape feature, using the Moodruid subclass. When the video goes live on YouTube I'll try and edit this post to link to it. There are two races he includes which are "very weird" and prone to DMs saying their key racial...
