    Where do you draw LOS from? The Character or the Cannon? If you draw it from the cannon is the Ballista attack done with Disadvantage if the character does not have LOS but the Cannon does?

    BROKEN WEAVE - Need Help

    I just got a copy of Broken Weave but there are quite a few things left in the air or vaguely mentioned. Starting off my big 2 are: 1. Area Decay is set between 1 - 10 but no mention of what each level of Decay means for the area, how to you pick a level of decay. 2. Gear destruction, it is...

    D&D (2024) Homebrew Origin Feats

    Following on from my background thread I am wanting to see what people are coming up with for homebrew Origin Feats. Also I think it would be handy to discuss what are the mechanical and design space limitations so that design can be easier and agreeable. To start off: Sprinter Origin Feat...

    D&D (2024) 3 Months in - Weapon Mastery

    Now that we are 3 months in with the 2024 PHB what are people's thoughts on weapon mastery? Any problems or any obvious room for mechanical improvement. My main issue is with nick and that the only 2 weapon combo I see is Shortsword + Scimitar which is a damn weird combo if you ignore...

    D&D (2024) Banneret

    I thought I would extend a conversation I had with some players to the board. Does the changes to the Fighter in the 2024 PHB make the Banneret a valid choice when in the past it was not. The arguments put forward were: 1. More uses of Second Wind makes for more healing. 2. Other uses of Second...

    D&D (2024) Homebrew Tool Proficiencies

    I do not believe I am the only person that believes there are many missing things that would be expressed as tool proficiencies. This impacts upon Characters do things in game that they want to be a part of their character ability set and it impacts upon background design I have discovered. So...

    D&D (2024) Homebrew Origin Feats

    As discussed in the Background Homebrew thread I started earlier it has arisen several times that a lack of Origin Feats has curtailed the ability to create backgrounds. So here we are, a space to knock our heads together and come up with some origin feats to help with the process. Let's get...

    D&D (2024) Homebrew Backgrounds

    I thought I would create a thread of homebrewed backgrounds so people could propose improvements or add in some themselves that way there could be go to resource that we can all use. It doesn't hurt that backgrounds are ridiculously easy to homebrew with the main exception there is not always an...

    D&D 5E PHB Races Redone

    I was wondering what the PHB races would look like with the new racial format ie minus the cultural and added or altered abilities to make up the difference. Might be worth having a crack at it as I do not mind some of the new races we have been seeing lately. I will look at each race one at a...

    TSR Giantlands

    I wonder if others are unimpressed with spoilers that have been provided for Giantlands thus far as I am. A lot of spurious claims and a whole lot of relabeled stole....I mean recycled ideas touted as ground breaking.

    D&D General Cheats & Shortcuts for DM's

    Heavens know most of us lack time and the game time comes around sooner than expected, so I would like to see if we can come together and get the shortcuts and cheats we use as DM's to save time or make things easier. Let me start. 1. Names for magical beings: I am terrible with names specially...

    D&D General Saves as Target Numbers

    Did anyone else like in 4e where instead of being saves Ref, Fort and Will were used like AC as target numbers for attacks and abilities so many spell the caster rolled an attack rather than the target saving? Would anyone like to see this return in the future? I liked it myself, it made more...

    D&D 5E Where to Now?

    We have crossed the 5 year line, the rules are stable so where to now? My thought would be to revisit an undelivered goal from the beginning modularity. The recent UA that provided alternate class features showed that modular rule packs can be used to alter the game system without undue damage...

    D&D 5E Using The Battlesmith's Iron Defender as a Mount

    One of my players who is playing a Gnome Artificer Battlesmith wants to use his Iron Defender as a mount. I can see that whilst it was not intended, doing so is not against the mount rules. Should I say yes and run with it or say no and under what grounds?

    Is Mike Mearls Happy Hour still a thing? Or has he gone into hiding after the controversy of late?

    Spell Stained Environment

    I am getting ready to start a new campaign in a post war setting. An idea I have is called Spell Stained Environment. Basically they areas where a specific spell has been cast in an area on mass repeatedly and causes the spell to spontaneously occur in the area. Outside of combat I was...

    Animal Companion Fix thoughts

    I was wondering if a properly crafted Find companion Spell ala Find Steed and Familiar would be a good way of dealing with the Ranger companion. Should the spell improve with a higher level slot or should a Greater version be made. I imagine it would be a 1st level spell so the Magic Initiate...
