For 2024, Assuming you spend your resources on durability, which class do you think is the most durable at level 1 while still maintaining decent offensive output (no dodging in the corner type stuff). I’m thinking. 1. Fighter 2. Barbarian 3. Paladin 4. Cleric What do you all think?

This thread is to post your 2024 D&D encounters you were a bit surprised at the difficulty or ease of. Play by play is not required but important details are encouraged. Level 3 Party vs CR 6 Wyvern Party Zealot Barbarian with Savage Attacker Origin feat and a greataxe. Ranger (not sure...

It seems to me that an accusation of SeaLioning is an accusation of bad faith posting behavior. Normally accusing someone of bad faith is likely to earn one a quick mod. But accusations of sealioning are not typically modded despite being an accusation of a particular kind of bad faith...

What 2024 Subclasses and Classes are you most excited about?

Thread is intended to be a + thread where we optimize caster single target encounter damage and discuss the implications when comparing this with martial damage. The idea is for the + to short circuit all the comments like 'doing damage with a caster is bad' or 'why not control'. Etc. My...

Even if you end concentration the polymorph temp hp stay up for the day. There’s no clause in the spell indicating they end early. So one could give a level 7 pc 157 temp hp (by transforming into a giant ape) and then immediately drop concentration so class abilities can be used, along with...

Vex/Nick Math and info For Vex the next attack hit chances are derived via the formula: (Chance to Hit) = (Base to hit) + (Chance for Advantage)(Base to Hit) - (Chance for Advantage)*(Base to Hit)^2 Where (Chance for Advantage) = (Chance previous attack hit) Working out the algebraic...

Aasimar What I love They have the basics. A way to see in the dark (light cantrip and darkvision, though a bit of redundancy here). They have a really cool daily ability that has some nice built in versatility, from flight to aoe damage to aoe fear, while also providing a damage buff. What I...

Initial Thoughts The new 2024 PHB is quite a bit larger than the old 2014 PHB. It's layout is vastly improved, likely for both new and experienced players alike. Mechanically the races seem much more interesting, but they also seem more magical/supernatural - which might be a good or bad...

How excited are you for the new 2024 edition d&d? *This is not like that other poll that asks if you will buy. This is about excitement. You might buy and not be very excited or be very excited but not buy.

Simple question. What are the best VTT’s for running 4e D&D?

We’ve started looking at this game. System seems really interesting and flexible. I think I’ve got a decent grasp on the basics now but will be having some questions about certain rules and interactions. Also just some general advice. Anyone else have general thoughts on the game - I’ll get...

I’ve started playing chess again. Wondering if there were any other chess players lurking here.

I'm starting up a new Solasta campaign and having some decision paralysis around my 4th PC bring. For those that don't know Solasta is a CRPG that fairly faithfully follows the 5e D&D ruleset. It has all the 5e classes except artificer. However, it has mostly custom subclasses. Races are SRD...

I believe they offer a monthly subscription for all D&D One / 5e content. This will be low 5-10 dollars and works out monetarily because they are getting every member of the group to pay instead of just the DM buying the new books. Approximately 1 60 dollar book per year for a group of 5 vs...

I'm curious if there are any perceptions about WOTC promising certain things in regards to One D&D and then back tracking. Whether they cite a design philosophy or justification for a particular change only to change something else in such a way that flys in the face of that design...

It seems to me most all rpg theory discussions eventually start talking about authority over the fiction, who has it and what process or rules provide that authority. However, I would suggest that just as importantly as understanding fictional authority is understanding what restrictions are...

Are you buying less 5e material?

What is overkill? It's damage you could have dealt had the enemy had more hp than it did. That said, there's also a similar phenomenon with multiattackers. If you kill the final enemy of an encounter before your final attack there was damage left on the table that you otherwise could have...

Simply cap spells known to 4th level or less (maybe 5th level or less). Casters can keep the slots. Thoughts? Possibly create magical items that allow casters access to higher level spells for atunement and sufficient class level.
