I would post in a forgotten realms sub-forum, but I don't see one? Olive Ruskettle is a Halfling in the Azure Bonds novels that came out in the 80s. In the Novels she is essentially a Bard, and says she is a Bard, but because only Humans, and Half-Elves could be Bards in 1E the novels go to...

We had a 9th level Monk today who was under a potion of speed drink a potion of Cloud Giant Strength. Rolled a 00 on the mixing potions table (only one works but it is permanent). PC knows I rolled a 00 (all rolls public). We were at a good time to stop so I said let me think about it and...

I am playing a multiclass Scout Rogue 3/Wizard 1. She had a 13 Intelligence, the minimum for a Wizard multiclass but lost 2 points of intelligence from a BBEG and her current stats are S6 D15 C10 I11 W14 CH6. What are the rules for this going forward with an 11 Intelligence? I was planning to...

I am playing a multiclassed Fey Wanderer Ranger/Glamour Bard. I have 9 levels in Ranger and am wondering what enchantment or illusion spell I should pick up from Bard 3. I only have a 14 Charisma so the save DC on my Bard spells and Beguiling Magic is not great (DC 14), but I have a 20 Wisdom...

One thing I did not catch is the wording on Divine Smite and Wrathful Smite allows for smiting on a Ranged Attack. Bonus Action, which you take immediately after hitting a creature with a Melee weapon or an Unarmed Strike One of my players pointed this out. Since it is melee "weapon" and...

So I am playing a human Scout Rogue/Monk in a new game based on Dark Sun. We are starting at level 3 (Scout 3) and will be going to level 13 (Scout 5/Monk 8). There is a lot of homebrew in the game but those two classes and subclasses are RAW (using 2024 rules and classes with 2014...

We started the campaign in September the week the new PHB came out. We are currently level 18 and will likely finish it this week. This group has played multiple 1-20 adventures before, so we have a lot of experience from 5E for comparison. We played MDCM Where Evil Lives started at level 2...

With the Purple Dragon UA, Viscous weapon changes, the Sword and Board dual wielder, and the latest Carrion Crawler I am wondering if anyone in game design is actually paying attention. Note undelined below. From MM2025 Carrion Crawler: Paralyzing Tentacles. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 12, one...

I am getting ready to play a homebrew Dragonlance-based campaign. It will go level 3-15 using 2024 rules (legacy subclasses permitted). I am playing a Wood Elf, she is an outcast with the Blackrobe High Sorcery background and the High Sorcery Initiate Feat (with Dissonant Whispers and Hex)...

So I am working on a Build for my Dark Sun Halfling Celestial Warlock-Tempest Cleric At 14th level (Cleric 8/Warlock 6), this character is going to have the Booming Blade Cantrip, Divine Strike from being a Cleric and Radiant Soul from Celestial Warlock. I have two questions: 1. Does Divine...

One of my PCs is out of attunement slots. She is a multiclassed Dragonborn Fey Wanderer Ranger 6/Monk 1/Bard 1. She is currently wearing a ring of protection +1 and using other attunement slots for a Wand of Fear and a Staff of Striking. We also have some Bracers of Defense no one is using...

So if my Ranger took a fighting style feat instead of Druid Warrior can I cast Shillelagh from a scroll. I am thinking not.

So for example a Paladin-Rogue with a 13 Charisma who lost a point in Charisma permanently. Now what? Lose all Paladin levels, can't advance in Paladin levels any more, nothing you had the minimums when you first multiclassed so you can keep getting Paladin levels.

Example from play: Enemy is Frightened due to Dragon Fear feat, this feat provides for a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw to break it every time the creature takes damage. Same creature gets hit with Beguiling Twist which causes Frightened for a minute with a DC 16 save at the end of each of its...

Cleric and Sorcerer used to be among the most common classes to dip for 1 level, especially for other full casters. Now I am seeing far fewer Clerics and Sorcs, as a matter of fact I don't think I have seen a single one-level Sorc or Cleric dip since 2024 rules came out. I think there are two...

Conjure Animals needs to be put in and moved to an "unoccupied space" does that mean things can not move through it?

I really like the idea that you don't need to actually forge a pact with the new Warlock. It is so much more open, maybe your Patron doesn't even know about you and you found some Arcane knowlege so you can suck power from it like you are like a parasite.

After playing 2024 for a couple months I am thinking about giving full casters each one weapon mastery. There are two reasons for this. First Truestrike is the most common Cantrip I am seeing cast in combat now, but it is not doing the cool effects that martials are doing with attacking (or...

I have a lot of experience playing Fey Wanderers in 2014 and I am playing my first in 2024. I think I found an exploit in the new rules with the Friends spell. The PC has Magic Initiate (Wizard), so I can get Friends at level up. Here is the wording for Friends and Beguiling Twist. Note the...

So I did not realize how much more powerful Chain Warlock is. The new buffed familiars are a lot more durable and since it is only an action to cast the spell again they are generally expendable (role playing aside). In 2014 Sprite was the only really effective combat familiar, and only...
