    D&D (2024) Beast Master attack sacrificed for beast attack and Dual Wielder

    I think I know the answer, but wondering what others think. Beast Master states: "In Combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can move and use its Reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action unless you take a Bonus Action to command it to take an action in its stat...

    D&D (2024) Barbarian-Warlock in D&D '24

    I remember a semi-common character concept with D&D '14 combining barbarian and warlock. I'm interested in whether it plays out differently now (and if any rules changes make it unviable or unsatisfying). Generally the build is Barbarian 1/ Warlock (bladelock) 1-19 or Barbarian 5 / Warlock (any)...

    D&D (2024) Suggestions for level 1 one-shot.

    So tomorrow one of my main groups is doing a first level one-shot due to one DM being unavailable and the other active DM not wanting to run their adventure down a person (a position I support). It is three player, I have no idea what others are picking, and the rule is only material from the...

    D&D 5E Thoughts on Tier 3-4 Satyr martial in Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    So one of the rotating DMs for my Saturday D&D group has decided to try running V:EoR. This is the first foray into tiers 3-4 for this group in a long, long time. I've avoided spoilers, so I do not know the plot, or much else (other than start at level 9). I have been given leave to ask the...

    Good games specifically to showcase non-D&D TTRPGs

    Here is the situation -- I have multiple gaming groups, most of which have explored TTRPGs well outside D&D. One group, however, has always been current or 1-2-editions-previous-to-current* D&D. There has been some recent talk about looking at other systems and what they might do better for the...

    D&D 5E Dhampir Undead-Patron Pact of Blade Warlock (Have concept, need implementation)

    Sullivan's father came home one night... different. His wife wasn't sure exactly what had changed, but he never was quite the same again. Previously he had been a shining epitome of brightness and humanity amongst the dour forlk of the rain and mist-filled Kharhrndan valley. But after that night...

    D&D 5E Help me flesh out this drow bard for an underdark campaign

    Hi all, here's the situation- After months of hinting at Out of the Abyss, the DM instead decided to run an all-drow campaign. The story as we know it is thus: We were part of a minor house in Menzoberranzan. It fell out of favor with Lolth and was mostly wiped out. We were the part of the house...

    D&D 5E Ideas for Out of the Abyss

    After the holidays, my group is going to be playing Out of the Abyss, and I am looking for suggestions. We are currently running straight from PHB. No UA. Quite possibly Volo since people have it and are somewhat excited about some of the ideas (my understanding is that you start out as...

    D&D 5E Paladinlock build advice

    So I am trying to balance a short-rest class with a long-rest class, such that the end result is not overly penalized for playing in a group that focuses one either rest type. The most obvious example of this combo in my mind is a paladin-warlock. What do people think about a paladinlock? Any...

    Dwarven Runecaster build - perhaps with Double Wand feat

    I was thinking of making a Dwarven fighter/wizard/Runecaster build. Here are the requirements- *I am actually going to have to play through the levels, so it actually has to be usable at the low levels. *I can't just dip into every prestige class for a level or two. Once I pick one, I have to...

    Did anyone stick with 3.0?

    I guess the title says it all. For those of you who moved to 3rd edition, how many stuck with the 3.0 version and stuck with it throughout their experience of 3rd edition, not moving to 3.5? And I guess I would qualify that if you picked up 3.0, said, "I really don't like this." and went back...
