Less a power question and more trying to get in the mindset of WOTC designers (and perhaps there is an interview out there someone could point to that explains why). The Tarrasque, the CR30 big baddie, the apocolyptic force that threatens even 20th level parties. And yet with the Tarrasque of...

https://www.enworld.org/threads/70-of-games-end-at-lvl-7.714552/ So the link above reminds us that 2019 playtest data reveals what a lot of us already suspected, that for the vast majority of groups, 10th level is the real capstone. 7th and 8th levels are often the endpoint, and high levels is...

So magic items tend to be more limited in 5e....but healing potions are often a special case. So how many healing potions do you tend to give your party? (see poll above). Also curious what types of healing potions you often give them.

Here’s the spoiler thread for fantastic four. Overall I quite enjoyed this one, definately best FF movie by far, and on the marvel list I would rank it above average (not the top of marvel but above the curve and definately above most phase 4-5 movies). The alternate earth was interesting not...

https://www.levelup5e.com/news/lets-look-at-horde-monsters Ok reading the article, just making sure I understand how to use horde monsters appropriately with the encounter building guidelines. Ok so 4 level 15 PCs get a hard encounter budget of 30. That is two standard CR 15 monsters. Since...

I had an encounter last night against level 7 PCs using the dnd 2024 Gladiator. The gladiators did their job well, but I was surprised at party's reaction to them. My group understands that NPCs and PCs don't play by the same rules, but for some reason this one struck a chord with them. Though...

One thing thats notable in Baldur's Gate 3. Devils can pop in and out of the world, seemingly going back to hell and then returning to the mortal world as they need to to conduct their business. But in 5e the vast majority of devils have no such capabilities. No teleport and no plane shift. So...

The very quick jist. The party is going to find a solar's flying sword attached to a special stone that can mimic a creature type (think a very power nystul's magic aura). So...the sword believes it is being weilded by a solar. So treating this as a legendary weapon but it won't do the full...

The OG Thread: D&D General - The Big Thread of Interesting Combat Examples In order to keep that other thread as a nice tight reference, this thread is for any commentary on the fights, questions, things you think could be tweaked etc.

The purpose of this thread is to provide examples for people of combat's you ran (not just thought of) that went very well. Combat's that were interesting and exciting to your players. This provides a nice reference for DMs who want to add more spice to their combats. For people's convienience...

If I can see an ethereal creature with lets say See Invisibility, is there any effect, magic item, or spell that can actually injure an ethereal creature? Or do I simply have to be on the ethereal plane?

So I've been using my copy of the 2024 MM for a while now, and I can confidently say, I DO NOT like the organization. I want a devil, don't know what kind of devil I want I just want a devil. Old Book 1) Go to D for Devils 2) Peruse the devils, find the one I like. Or heck, maybe two different...

So in my last dnd game, it was meant as an extensive exploration kind of campaign, so I made a very detailed map for it. Distances and travel times were actually a big part of it. In my next campaign, it was a much more high octane campaign more on action and less on details. So I barely...

So just had to share this one. Last night's session culminated in a crazy combat and here are the details! The Background Action Hero Rules The Fight The Paladin after a brief cinematic discussion with this god and realizes that if doesn't hurt the BBEG's forces now that the rest of the...

A while ago, a did a take on what I considered "True Slaad", aka an enemy that is actually chaotic enough to represent the described paragons of chaos: D&D 5E - 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium I have also run an altered version of Modron. While I generally like the modron, they still are not...

TLDR: If you haven't read Dungeon Crawler Carl..... read Dungeon Crawler Carl! (and actually even better....listen to the audiobook). I recently completed book 7 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and it has very quickly become one of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi series. And so here are some...

Rereading Nystul's Magic Aura after a while I had forgotten just how incredibly powerful it is. It is no illusionary trick, it actually allows you to change your type for spell interactions. Remove your humanoid type and gain immunity to spells like charm person. Make your undead pet capable of...

SPOILERS FOR the new MI movie. My overall thoughts. Awesome new action scenes, in a day of big CGI battles, just watching Tom Cruise do Tom Cruise things in high action packed scenes is great, and the scenes do not disappoint. It also did a cool job of referencing the older movies to tie...

So if a fiend uses change shape to (the monster ability, not the spell shapechange) become a humanoid. Are they still a fiend for all purposes (including a Paladin's divine sense) or do they become a humanoid type?

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!
