    D&D (2024) How to simply fix Ranger in 2024.

    Okay, here are my two simple fixes for the Ranger. Thoughts? First: The castings of Hunter's Mark that do not expend a spell slot each day also do not trigger the "Another Concentration Effect" part of the Concentration rule (p. 363). In other words, for those castings, you can still cast...

    D&D 5E SKT's The Weevil: A Manhunt and a Mystery

    Sure, basically, in his attempt to avoid justice, Weevil has aligned himself with a kraken priest (stats from Volo's) and some cultists who operate in Xantharl's Keep. When the party tracks Weevil to the stables at Falling Orc Tavern, Weevil will not put up a fight, instead rambling on about...

    D&D 5E SKT's The Weevil: A Manhunt and a Mystery

    Pukunui is right, as written it is largely there for flavor and a reason to travel to Xantharl's and eventually Mirabar. Like with much of that chapter in SKT, it requires some prep by the DM to flesh out well and (if desired) connect it to the larger story. In my SKT games, I have enhanced...

    Your Options For D&D 5E Electronic Tools

    This would be more helpful if it included approximate price information (free, one-time and data pack costs, monthly fees, etc.). Any chance someone can add that info in comments to the extent they know it?

    Balancing some broken cantrips

    Not sure this is worth the trouble, but I've been toying with the idea of houseruling some cantrips to make them more viable options (or in the case of guidance less mandatory). Any thoughts on these? Blade Ward -- It becomes a concentration cantrip that if it is up grants +3 AC against the...

    D&D 5E Eladrin question

    I agree with pretty much all these posts -- the racial feature is not intended to confer knowledge of the spell to a Wizard, but it also seems like it is not unbalancing and makes some sense to allow if a DM wants. Perhaps what trips me up most is the wording in the DMG. The feature actually...

    D&D 5E Eladrin question

    For an Eladrin wizard that reaches third level, should Misty Step become a known spell (i.e. inscribable into the spellbook) automatically? It seems that if the character can cast it as a racial feature, he or she should be able to replicate it as a class spell it without having to use a spell...

    Fixing the Hunter Feats

    Has there been discussion on ways to house rule Agile Hunter and Precise Hunter to make them somewhat on par with other feats available at heroic? Does anyone disagree they should practically never be taken as is? Anecdotally (we didn't have a ranger who actually took them, but we kept the...

    Is Brute Strike extra-sad?

    It's "reliable", meaning it doesn't get used up if you miss. If the Pal misses, it's gone for the day (but at least he gets the surge).

    KOTS Question

    Maybe I missed this somewhere, but when the Dragonshields "mark" an opponent, what does that mean? Is it the same as a fighter's combat challenge abilitiy? The stat block doesn't say what the effect is.

    Ritual Economics/Spellbook Peeve

    Some nitpicks after reading the Wizard and related parts of the PHB: It seems like wizards can live the good life as the village handyman using their Make Whole ritual. At a cost of 20% he can repair anything that fits in a 10 foot cube and charge customers 50% or more (beats paying 100% to...
