So, how do you define a vanilla setting, specifically as an example which setting is most vanilla to you, FR or GHK or maybe even DL?

Especially since the immortal, avatar and awakened subclasses fit perfectly to emulate a Psion (Metabolic, Kinetic and Telepath ) similar to the 2e Darksun class? I know it might have been discussed before, but i wanted to start a counterthread to @WayOfTheFourElements thread and his- quite...

I just reread the rules for clerics to resolve another issue then I noticed: At level 20 divine intervention auto-succeeds. Does that mean a level 20 cleric has the powers of a god at his whim? What are the limits of this skill or is it DMs decision what is working and what isn't ?

The next campaign I plan, will be Darksun using my own conversion rules. I am normally quite inventive, but here is a bit of a "dilemma" I ran into: I will rule that normal clerical magic, for the four types of elemental clerics (with some exceptions like e.g. create water) , will work up to...

How would you resolve the situation that two casters - let us assume they are of same level and have got same spell DC for additional complexity - target the same creature let us assume it fails the saves with e.g. a charm spell at the same time? Which of the casters spell takes effect and how...

I want to know if you folks ever ran a competition NPC party for the same goal(s) as the PCs have. E.g. it I s a race for clues with optionally different paths to go or only the quicker party gets the goal. Especially if you did that in 5e, how did you build that competition party? Did you...

So please use the other threads existent to discuss depiction of Vistani in D&D, in this thread I only want to read your speculations what the two Ravenloft or other products might be published by WotC based on that official announcement about diversity

Yo guys I am brainstorming about a darksun 5e campaign using mostly the 2e material. The campaign shall start out in Tyr with Kalak still in Power, I want to use the official adventures (starting with freedom) although maybe the timeline altered a bit. I also got access to the City of Tyr...

I intend to use Avatar Immortal and Awakened subclasses of UA Mystic3 for Darksun 5e Means all the rules detailed in UAMystic3 their abilities and the talents and disciplines, but disciplines only for those 3 classes, so no soulknife nomad or wu-jen disciplines. Now my question: Do you think...

Inspired by @Greenstone.Walker s thread about percentage of adventurers in a fantasy realm I wanted to do a little free text survey about NPCs with class levels and how you handle it in your campaign. If your PCs need to raise a companion from dead e.g. then there are a few possibilities: A...

So here is one for you sinkhole fans: Assume there is finally some official product for a psion/mystic class, should it then become part of the base lore and part of all settings or only for those who have extensive lore for it like Eberron or DS? Before you answer to quick: Psionics was a big...

Inspired by @Kris thread about him trying out the rolled up random dungeon i want to start a discussion about the annoyance that many official products cause in me about the seemingly totally senseless architectural features of the dungeon maps. With some absolutely marvelous exceptions so many...

While Wotc has brought out some stuff for classic campaign worlds other than FR, some unexpected new things like Ravnica, some material which has been received mostly positive like CoS, some other stuff like Eberron seems to be controversial. Here is my question: What do you expect most from...

What is so good about the gate spell? I tell you what I would rule: In Darksun a gate procures only elementals. In Eberron it could be about anything even from the far realms. Those two, because of the "altered" cosmology In planescape gating something into Sigil which some major force...

This is my attempt to establish Darksun rules for 5e while being as true as possible to 2e. Also I try to use as much 5e stuff reskinned as possible. E.g. my Mul is basically a halforc. I will start with the possibly race and class combos followed by some in depth explanation. Race Human...

Playing through the Oota campaign our dungeon master loves to apply exhaustion levels for all sorts of stuff: Air pollution, long swims /climbs etc. etc. As much as i love the additional grittiness of it, as much i hate some of its consequences, even on exhaustion level one, and the difficult...

Since in the newest poll it was asked in what settings people play, and some were playing in Darksun and Dragonlance I wonder: Since there is no (suitable) official rules on several issues especially in these two campaign settings I want to know your homebrew solutions, you gotta have one no...

My Group plays the out of the abyss campaign atm. (I am a PC in that one so no Spoilers in this thread, please)There are some environmental effects and Monster attacks which cause disadvantage to attacks and saving thorws or skill and attribute checks and these effects are labeled to be curable...

I found out over the course of several game sessions that our DM is very strict if i try to hide or stay hidden with my character especially in combat scenarios.My Char: Wood elf ranger stealth prof. and mask of the wild.Lately i had a Scenario with my char being invisible (pot) and in stealth...

5E makes it far to easy (for some style of campaigns) to get these superpowers. Question: Should these not rather be optional? How do I restrict these without nerfing certain races / classes? How do I partially restrict these? Is there stuff like a dimensional anchor in 5E? Would a sorcerer...
