Wow....am I really the first thread to report this? I never get the scoop!!! https://darringtonpress.com/daggerheart-is-officially-here/ Daggerheart is now officially out!

This is for 2014 dnd. 1) from how far away can the wizard place their familiar in a pocket dimension? 2) from the pocket dimension, they can summon the familiar. How far away does the familiar appear? Can it appear within a box or behind door? (Aka a quasi teleport?)

With all the discussion aroudn monster design, I thought it would be cool to look at the various bosses of 2024 5e. What monsters are bossing, and which monsters you should be tossing. This is a good chance to talk about monster design in actual examples. I will work through some monsters and...

So I know a lot of the monsters in the new MM just have resistance to BPS, no mention of magic. And we have seen a lot of "your attack is like a magic weapon" changed to "you now do force damage". Is that how straight up +1 magic weapons work now, or do they no longer help against that BPS...

Hey all, So periodically people tell me how great the dnd beyond Maps program is....but every time I have tried to use it, I just can't get it to do basically anything. I am sure I am just completely misunderstanding even the basics of how to get started. What I am trying to do is this: 1)...

First two episodes came out. So far so good to me, bold opener leads into an interesting setting. They managed to keep the events from Echo and use them without dwelling on them. The tone of the show feels similar to the OG, and I appreciate in a day and age where everything feels the need to...

So I got my 2024 MM and started taking a look. Just starting a list of winners and losers, what monsters got shafted, which ones got the biggest glow up? Winners Mummy Lord - I have tried mummy lords twice in games before, and they died so quickly and so ineffectually both times that they...

All, I am restarting a campaign from a while back, with some existing characters. Theuy are going to level up and then we get the party started. My question: I have some players that made their characters using books, but several using the dnd beyond character creator. If they use the creator...

After the 10th 100+ post thread about stealth, its clear that the stealth rules are not....ideal. You can argue if they are completely bonkers broken or just "useable with some common sense interpretations" but its clear that a rewrite wouldn't hurt. while other have argued its impossible to...

How much info should PCs glean from a high monster knowledge check? If a Pc rolls a 25 or even a 30, do they learn just a few tidbits, every immunity and weakness the monster has....do you just give them the statbook? Just how much can a PC gain about a monster from a monster knowledge check?

I will say that most players I have played with have this expectation that Insight is basically lie detection. That with a single roll you can immediate glean the second an NPC tells a fib. I would say out of all skills in the game, insight is probably the most inflated on what it should be...

First, I want to reiterate....SPOILERS. There is a lot of cool reveals in the Silo, some of the best imo in recent years. I plead with you, if you have not watched the show....TURN AWAY NOW!!! Go watch and come back, do not lose out on the joy of the reveals. YOU HAVE BEEN...

Hi all, I have heard about the new animal lord from the dungeon dudes, and the way they talk about it, it sounds like the statblock has been released. But I haven't found it, can someone point me to it please?

My players have gotten a special boon. A magical family has offered to magically enhance an item of their choice. Interestingly, they choose the rogue's forgery kit, with a focus on "accuracy". This is not a by the book item, its meant to be a special custom unique item, something special for...

The joking refrain is that Gandalf is a 5th level wizard if you track what he actually does in the lord of the rings vs dnd magic spells. In the 2nd season of Rings of Power, Gandalf casts what looks to be a full fledged tornado, ala the whirlwind spell (7th level spell). Obviously RoP isn't...

I've been a big fan of this show for a long while, and finally got to see Season 4. I do think this season lost a step compared to the other seasons. The fundamental notion of each season has been some sort of "space race", and with Season 4 it turned into more of just a "this is how living and...

I've been quite surprised the last few days. I mean the books are OUT! the info is live and official! I expected dozens and dozens of threads discussing every crumb, every nuance. Instead....its like half a dozen threads, and there are tons of sections in the book not even being discussed. We...

Finally got the skinny on the influence action. Works as follows: If the request is something the creature would just do, no check is just succeeds If the request is something repugnant to the creature, or against their alignment, no check it just fails. (aka no 30 persuasions to convince...

Can't believe we didn't have a thread for this already. Feel free to discuss any of the new spell changes or additions.

So it looks like there is a new influence action, but I haven't heard a peep about how it works. The playtest had some static DCs and used the old attitude system, is that still the case now?
