They're not necessary in DH either. When you play DH digitally, you don't actually use cards. You just have a list of abilities like in other RPGs.

The rogue situation seems different to me because it's a discussed rules issue that was considered and thought of in the playtest. It's a known thing that ultimately was ruled in favor of player power. The Action Surge scenario seems different to me because of its clear prohibition of the Magic...

The Cosmere RPG doesn't handle abilities any different than Daggerheart really. You literally have the equivalent of domain cards in Cosmere in the various abilities you pick up from the paths. Daggerheart resolves abilities in almost the exact same way as Cosmere: you make a roll against a DC...

The biggest difference in practice when compared to something like D&D is that there are no DCs or target numbers. As long as you roll at least one 6, you succeed. Additional 6s can do more, depending on what you roll. In combat when attacking, you deal more damage. To vary difficulty, the GM...

Think of like this: Why would anyone Ready a spell with the trigger "I see the enemy" or any other super easy to trigger event? You wouldn't, because you don't gain anything. In fact, you lose more by doing that! You lose your valuable Reaction for the round. But technically it's possible...

No no, there are many many magic items in 2024 5e that have charges or uses that do not replicate or cast spells. Instead simply activating them requires the Magic action. Because they don't cast spells, you don't need to "cast the spell normally" if you Ready their activation. You don't lose...

If the perceivable trigger is "that creature moves a muscle" and not "that creature moves", you don't need to wait for them to finish moving. The whole issue is that 5e doesn't have clear restrictions or definitions on what can count as a trigger for the Ready action. There's no limit on...

Those items don't require casting a spell so they don't need Concentration or spending the resource as you take the Ready action. Thus, if you don't think the Ready action with Action Surge using those Magic action items is against the rules, why even have the limit in Action Surge? Just take...

Right, so you can't Ready outside initiative. Now I don't know your opinion on the Action Surge to Ready a 1 action spell issue, but if you could Ready with Action Surge to cast a 1 action spell, why is it that outside combat you can only cast 1 action spells with the Magic action, but suddenly...

If your opinion is that the Ready action allows you to cast a 1 action spell with Action Surge, due to how easy it is to declare a trigger that will happen almost no matter what (barring for example enemies who don't move when making magical attacks, like psionic abilities), the Action Surge...

But the trigger for the Reaction is extremely permissible in 5e. It simply says "perceivable circumstance". Could be the next enemy in the initiative order "moves a muscle". Could be the next combatant "begins to move their limbs". Also Actions don't require initiative. When you cast a spell as...

I think this is a typical revision / half edition update issue where one rule is updated or clarified but because the game is big and expansive, one section in another part of the game doesn’t reference or use the updated rule or language clearly. 2014 5e doesn’t have a Magic action because it...

Honestly the spell's description seems clear to me. It looks very uncomplicated. Make a target roll a save; on success nothing happens, like with many other spells. On failure the target takes damage and is restrained. At the start of the target's turns it can repeat the save; on success no...

@gnarlygninja How do you track individual enemy stats and stamina? Are there tokens ready? PC sheets?

I really want to run this game, at least a shorter campaign, but I play on VTTs and right now there's no good option available that works without tons of work setting up monsters and PCs. Hopefully some time next year it'll be possible.

So Critical Role is not using DH for their new campaign. I think it could definitely slow down the DH momentum since it does send a mixed message about the game from the main marketing force behind it.

I’ve been running DH on the Roll20/Demiplane combo platform and so far it’s worked fine. Not perfect but fine. As a GM I haven’t had any issues but a couple of players have occasionally had connection related problems, if only briefly. Nothing that has dragged down the sessions. The Demiplane...

I like the weird topaz dragon look. The gem dragons can look odd and strange and I think that gives them more character. They're psionic and they have more esoteric abilities compared to the typical dragon. It's a very memorable design.

CR going with 5e for their new flagship show would be so bizarre considering all the work they’ve done in the past few years to go as independent as they can. They have their own streaming platform, their music publishing company, they have Darrington Press, and they have their brand new D&D...
