So Eberron: Forge of the Artificer is being builed as a rules expansion that primarily is giving a bunch of PC options (1 class, 5 subs, 40 feats, 5 species, etc) at a moderately low price point ($30 US). Using that as a model, what other books could be done with that model and price point? A...

I was thinking about Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk the other day. My group did Lost Mines of Phandelver when it came out years ago and I would not want to run it again with them. How much does the new stuff require Phandelver? Casual inspection doesn't look like much, so could you...

The latest Sage Advice Compendium updates provide official rules clarifications for D&D 2024. Sage Advice is not errata, but acts more like a FAQ for common rules queries. The Sage Advice Compendium collects questions and answers about rules interactions in Dungeons & Dragons. With the release...

So I just picked up Frontiers of Eberron: Quickstone because the idea of doing a Wild West inspired D&D campaign tickled a part of my brain. The sourcebook gives a lot of great background and a module to get players to 5th level, but I'm looking to see what other modules either have a western...

https://tomedunn.github.io/the-finished-book/monsters/monster-manual-2024/ The TL; DR... "To summarize, in most ways MM 2024 monsters appear to be built to the same targets as MM 2014 monsters were with a few exceptions. Their average saving throw bonus now scales slightly slower, and...

Just letting everyone know the Free Rules now have a bunch of monsters in it https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules

Ok, you're not upgrading to D&D 2024. You also aren't interested in moving to a different 5e system. You're sticking with D&D 5e. But what version? For this poll, there are two categories: I'm naming them 5.0 and 5.1. The dividing line is Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. I'll explain both groups...

So far, we know certain classic monsters are going to change monster types. My guess is the only humanoids will be NPC stat blocks. That said, I wonder what everything else will be. I pulled a list of of all the humanoids in the first MM, eliminated NPCs and variants, and listed them below. A...

Ok, let's start by defining what a DIP feat is. A Dip feat is a feat that grants a use of a specific class feature to a character who doesn't get it, or an additional use for a character that does. It can be used in lieu of multi classing to get certain class abilities. Though never spelled out...

Hey! Hey you! Does weapon mastery scare you? Do you like racial ASI? Does your 2014 core books look 10 years old? Good news: Amazon has the 2014 core set slipcase on sale for Prime members. Nearly 60% off retail price! Limited-time deal for Prime Members: 2014 D&D Core Rulebooks (Dungeons &...

So am I missing something or have languages been utterly nerfed in 2024? The rules, as I understand them: 1. You get three languages to start: Common, and two of your choice. 2. The languages need to be off the Standard Languages list, which are most of the common PC and monster races (Common...

I'm seeking some clarification on the rules for using 2014 cleric domains with the 2024 cleric. I know there is a sidebar on it, but I'm curious if it addresses this. In 2024, a cleric is given a choice of either full martial weapons and heavy armor OR a bonus cantrip a bonus on religion...

WotC put this out a little bit ago as part of their 5.24 previews. WotC is advising certain "complexity" levels to each class, and I think its worth looking at what they are thinking is complex. (NOTE: Everything is speculative unless you have a 2024 PHB and are breaking NDA. Keep in mind we...

Everywhere you go, you hear talk about "Old School" Play. Old School This, Old School That. There are games part of the Old School Renaissance that pride themselves on how close to Gary's Vision they can be. But while everyone is rolling 3d6 in order and searching for that save-or-die poison...

Note: this question will attempt to be as edition neutral as possible. If you want to argue about 5e vs classic Ravenloft, do that elsewhere. For DMs who run Ravenloft, I have a philosophical question. When you are setting up an adventure involving a villain or monsters, how often do you make...

So I've been ruminating on something... D&D has had (depending on how you define them) five to seven different editions that are effectively different games. This count doesn't even begin to consider print runs, half-editions, or repackages. And yes, some editions of D&D are compatible with...

With packet 7 dropping Soon[emoji769], anyone want to stake a claim on which subclasses we will see? A rundown of what is known and rumored: Barbarian Known: berserker Rumored: totem Fighter Known: Champion Rumored: eldritch knight, battlemaster Sorcerer Known: draconic Rumored: wild magic...

Treantmonk just posted a video on YouTube about Jeremy saying things that were not WOW! popular will most likely be reverted to the 2014 versions (subclass cited as an example). I want to discuss the nature of what revisions we will likely expect. (Note: this is NOT to discuss whether these...

So at this point we've seen all but monk in hit the Playtest, but we already know the classes that were in earlier playtests are going to see further revisions. I want to kinda think about what we know and see what changes will/can/might be done to the classes we saw prior to packet 5. Ranger...

Throughout 5e's life, one the most curious (and frustrating) trends in design was ranger and sorcerer subclasses granting bonus spells. The subclasses in the PHB did not grant bonus spells, and both classes were very spell-starved for it. In Xanathar, the ranger subclasses gained a collection of...
