    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Castle Amber. I'd enjoy that. I do want a good series of planar adventures which takes you to different planes.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Honestly they already did a great Isle of Dread with Tomb of Annihilation. Which is a better version of Isle of Dread than the original. Yeah I agree this is a good one. Have we had a good Underdark adventure for 5e? Was that Out of the Abyss (which I missed)? [Edit - yes, it seems it is. Too...

    I don't kid - I think they are going there.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    No, it's not. Those Hong Kong films were very popular here. It's not racist and colonial to bring them to a class themed on those movies. It's respectful and directly in line with the theme of what those movies did with those themes to bring them to the class. What is disrespectful is an...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    I know you've said that repeatedly, but that's not quite correct. It includes some Amazon, but not 100%. It appears WOTC intentionally submitted the 2024 books in the "Toys and Games" category (or something similar) instead of the "Book" category for rankings, to match up with the broader Magic...

    D&D General WotC is at it again

    I mean, people hate it so much it became the standard for almost everything and almost nobody complains about it or even notices it anymore. After countless years of it's use, I've never seen them once rip anyone's intellectual property off. It's there for the opposite - to prevent people from...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    That part is from a Chinese language film in the 1970s. Again, not colonial, or racist. You can not like it of course, but you seem to think this is some western mockery of the ancient tradition when it's not. So blame Yuen Woo-ping and Ng See-yuen. You calling them racist or colonizers?

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    It is a trope from the original source material, not from the west, and not racist. It's an actual Chinese style of martial arts imitating the movements of a drunk person. See here. There was also a 1970s film about it, from Hong Kong. It's not colonial in origin. It's disputed if it originated...

    D&D General Has Tiny Hut actually affected your game? Or has it otherwise mattered?

    One of our main DMs, early in 5e, had most of the monsters in the dungeon gather in the room of our tiny hut waiting (looking first, and then hiding out around the corner) for the 8 hours to expire so they could all pound the crap out of us. That's all it took to convince us to use the spell...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Made with Brewer's Supplies. For a class with Intoxication in the name now.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I mean, you magically conjure and are required to drink a pint of an alcoholic beverage to gain the benefits of the subclass. All connotations and cliché's will still be there. I don't think they're getting anything out of changing the name. It IS a stereotype, and it's why people choose the...

    D&D General My character has too many magic items to attune to.

    Staff of Frost is very powerful. Cloak of Elvenkind is a beginner item which you replace.

    D&D General Is this use of a wizard's spellbook accurate?

    I know how to reach them (my spouse used to work for GeekMom) so dropped them an email inviting them to this thread to read the feedback and respond if it suits them.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    I agree Wizard powers up slower than some classes, but makes up for it with later levels. That said, I don't think 2nd level is a dead level. They get: 1) Additional first level prepared spell, 2) Additional first level spell slot, 3) Two additional first level spells in your spellbook, 4)...

    D&D General Cook - Artificer Subclass

    Good list Fine, mostly ribbon I would bump sweet to +2. That would balance with the other two options better. Seems like a lot of abilities for level 3. I'd make it can cast each spell once without a spell slot of components, but bump it to a higher level. Movement boost should be 10...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    I am mocking whoever is mocking them. I suspect it's d-bags at Reddit. Treatmonk like's wizards for control. That's his whole thing. He literally doesn't even like fireball, or most direct damage wizard spells. Even a passing familiarity with his takes on wizards would tell you that. As for...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    Then why did you mock it? How on earth did you get the impression from my post that I thought it was free? Man all I did was tell you what I was playing...and you mocked it and pretended I was declaring that was representative, or somehow why wizards or good, or whatever point you were making...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    Right I was talking from an optimization and my own perspective. Like I also said, I don't think most wizard players do it or need to do it.

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Fair point. Really I'd be happy with either or both.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    Yes I said almost all. And a single subclass of sorcerer doesn't make your point. Sorcerers, as a generalization, often do an armor dip. Bards, as a generalization, often do as well. I know you know this is not a knock on a full caster for doing an armor dip. There's no doubt you are very...
