    D&D (2024) 2024 Impressions and Surprises from real play Experiences

    I have now played 5.24 E twice (third level) and a few things surprised me: - Weapon Specialisations, except for Vex and Nick, didn't have an impact. Slow was mostly ignored, Sapped Enemies died to quickly to had a big effect and topple didn't get used. - Ranger was fun! Two different Players...

    D&D (2024) Pact of the Chain broken at low levels?

    I love the little critters, but a HP20+ creature that can go invisible, shape change and do respectable damage at first level seams extremly powerful .. I mean the HP alone is double that of a first level char. Then there is also the debatable rule that it cost only a single Magic action...

    D&D (2024) gaining the same proficiency

    I saw a cool new Video from Mike Shay yesterday where he created a 5.2 Characte. What irritaded me a bit that he got the same tools proficiency from the Class and Background (also a Skill, but he simply changed the one from the class) and got nothing for it. The 2014 Version gave you another...

    D&D (2024) Collage of Dance Reveal

    Ginny D has a fun Video about the upcoming Collage of Dance Bard Subclass: Good Supporter with much movement (including Allies). I'm just not sure if the free Unarmed Attack on Bardic Inspiration will really be that usefull .. I don't see anything that supports playing the subclass for melee...

    D&D 5E Looking for easy and cool/good looking Pregens

    I will have a Sesssion with 5 new Players (never played RPGs before) and want to give them an easy and fun Intro into the hobby. For this I am looking for Pregens that are as easy as possible, but also looking cool (Character Art). But the Pregens that I found are either fully featured...

    D&D 5E Reacting to Movement

    I have a case where a War Casting Fighter uses Booming Blade as an Opportunity Attack against an Enemy leaving his Reach... is the Enemy still in Range after the attack or already 5 feet away?

    WotC Is Mike Mearls still in WotC?

    I haven't heard anything from him in years and I was wandering if he works still in WotC.

    D&D (2024) Suggestion: higher Standardarray instead of the additional +2/+1

    What I found strange is that they moved the +2/+1 to the Backgrounds instead of eliminating it altogether and instead increase the Standardarray/Points instead. This would eliminate one Step and is much less confusing (especially for newcomers). Especially since you could easily fall into the...

    D&D (2024) Mussings about Small Humans

    A seemingly small Change (pun intended :P ) is that Humans can be Small now. Which I do find good, but isn't it strange that DWARVES and Elfes, which are usually smaller than Humans, can only be Medium? If Humans can be Small, shouldn't have all the other races that option too? After all we are...

    D&D General Looking for low Level, short and fun Dungeon (Theme old Ruins under a Forest)

    As the title says .. I am looking for a fun and short (is only a Sidetrack) low Level Dungeon. The Theme should be old Ruins (Castle, City,..) that are now under a Forest. The Level is not that important (they are 3rd at the moment), this is usually adaptable as long as it fits thematically to...

    D&D 5E Rules Question about Bigby's Hand

    It is a large Hand, but doesn't occupy it's Space. If it moves into a 5 feet Corridor, does it have to squeeze? And is there a disadvantage (for the enemy or the Hand) if an Enemy moves into the Space of the Hand?

    D&D General Eberron - Big Events for the next Decades

    I'm looking for big and interesting Events for Eberron's next Decades. I am Gming a Campaign where there are massive Downtime between the Adventures (~1 year each, like Ars Magica). And since Eberron is such a big boiling pot of possible Dangers, I wonder how I will manage this. My plan is to...

    D&D 5E Names of the four tiers

    The Levels are split up into four tiers (1-4, 5-10, 11-16, 17-20) .. do they have names like Heroic, Legendary,..?

    D&D 5E Secret Advantages of the Essential Kit

    The Essential Kit is awesome! A Sandbox Adventure up to Level 6, Rules with Character Generation including Bard and 2 Subclasses each, Cards for Items/Companions/Initiative/.., Dice Set with a second D20 and 4d6, a double Sided Map and Rules for Companions. 8D But what I didn't know is that...

    D&D 5E Weapon +x as Focus?

    Just a short question. If I use a +x Weapon that I can also use as a Focus (like a Staff as a Wizard/Druid/.. or a regular Weapon as a College of Swords Bard), do I get the Bonus to Spell Attacks?

    Warlock as Full Caster

    I love the Warlock. But the 2 Spells per Short Rest for the most of his Career is frustrating, especially if you have a Campaign where Short Rests are not much more common than long Rest (Overland Travel). Then it just hit me .. why not swap out the Short Rest Slots to the typical...

    Concealment Confusion / How to use Fog Cloud

    How do I use Fog Cloud to protect myself from Ranged Attackers? It seems that if I cast it on the enemies they gain Disadvantage (they cannot see me) but also Advantage (I cannot see them) which results in a normal Attack. The same is true if I cast it over ourself or in between. Did I...

    D&D 5E [5e] Druid with high Physical Attributes

    I want to play a Firbolg Druid, that has never seen any other humanoid before (more or less raised by animals and fey). The thing is, Firbolgs are really big (7 to 8 foot) and I want to represent this in his stats, so I have the following (including Racial Stats .. +1 Str, +2 Wis): Str: 14...
