Aldridge B. Hex was eaten by sharks and will no longer be inspiring people to overcome their fears. I'm toying with the idea of a rogue next. I'm thinking of using a forest gnome going thief and using a net as the main weapon and a nick weapon as the offhand, and later a rope as a bonus action...

I think I got them all. The items are all from the UA and the 2024 DMG. There's some stuff in there I would only use for RP purposes, but there's also some good stuff.

I was reading opinions on this site and they seem to differ from what some of the people here post so I thought I would bring it up for discussion. That site includes subclasses prior to 2024 rules updates but I think a person can go there to follow up. I'm more interested in the new rules...

This is a more detailed response after my initial reaction. The college of the moon associates with the Moonshae druids and the description states these bards are using the primal power of fey magic and the Moonwells. This is a significant flavor difference with primal vs arcane even if there...

The DMG gas a guideline that has equipment for sale by gp value. DM's can deliberately place such equipment, but we might want to keep in mind that items worth more than 20gp aren't normally available in villages. This includes the following items typically unavailable... Simple Weapons...

So... Path of the Wild Heart Barbarians qualify as spellcasters for attunement starting from 3rd level. Psi Warrior Fighters qualify as spellcasters for attunement starting at 18th level even though they have magic actions earlier Warrior of Shadow and Warrior of the Elements Monks qualify as...

Shapechange grants temporary hit points when shape-shifting, not when casting the spell, and doesn't lose them with the form. During the duration of the spell this can be repeated with a Magic action. For example, shape-shifting into 300+ hp creatures 60 times during the spell duration can...

After the last thread I thought I'd see what I could throw into an Artificer pass. Thoughts or suggestions? Artificer Core Artificer Traits Primary Ability Intelligence Hit Point Die D8 per Artificer level Saving Throw Proficiencies Constitution and Intelligence Skill...

So as I peruse the PHB more I can see monks can use scimitars as monk weapons being martial weapons with the light property to which we can add Nick at 4th level (+1 DEX too). That seems like a lot of attacks by 5th level with Extra Attack, a bonus action Unarmed Attack, and Nick. Has anyone...

So the 2024 PHB has this... I think I might have been taking it for granted my (and other players) experience in how to build a character to fill these roles. I'm not sure how much everyone agrees or disagrees with the premise either and the fact this statement doesn't really give new players...

This is an idea I've been toying with but haven't implemented yet in the past. It's the idea of a bard based around the themes of dreams and nightmares as sources of emotion and motivation. The idea comes mainly from Alice Cooper's portrayal in Dynamite Comics' CHAOS! universe as the Lord of...

So the basic equipment list does include spell scrolls. Characters have the option to purchase cantrip spell scrolls for 30 gp and 1st level spell scrolls for 50 gp. It's always the DM's prerogative to decide what the availability of adventuring gear is available in a shop, but I foresee this...

Something that came to mind in another thread discussing class design and I was curious how people would fill out a class design that balances out the number of non-casters and casters better. Classes Full Caster Half-Caster Non-Caster Bard Cleric Paladin Fighter Druid Ranger...

As something a bit different from the more recent threads, I thought I would point this gem out to anyone who did not realize it yet. It also applies to any class, but for those who want to do some downtime work on the fighter this is a legit option. Pick up proficiency in arcana. Pick up...

Not sure if this was posted yet. DnD Beyond released Eberron usage for the initial release. Warforged artificer wins. Not really shocking. https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/11/dd-and-the-most-popular-player-options-in-eberron-are.html

This is largely a redirect from another thread so as not to derail that thread, just so no one is confused why it looks like we started mid-discussion. We are starting this thread mid-discussion, lol. This thread page 9 is where we are picking up from should anyone wish to look back. If there...

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet or not. I thought it was interesting just how big 5e's share of usage shows. https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/11/rpg-the-stars-are-right-for-call-of-cthulhu-but-dd-is-still-the-tops-roll20-usage-report.html

Medicine is used rarely enough I don't see much on it. I would like to see and encourage more use. I listed what I could find. DC 5 stabilize / revive a drowning creature determine obvious cause of death DC 10 determine if a patient is safe to move stabilize a dying creature deliver a...

I am not sure if this article has come up yet. I found it interesting. What the Typical 5E Party Actually Looks Like. Apparently they think a typical party is likely a warlock, fighter, cleric, sorcerer, and rogue.
