ya the art was great. The art is clear high point for the new books

I will def homebrew in my games that Paladin smite is 2014 but once per turn. I don't love all the Ba options competition with smite now. If you wanna misty step to that bad guy and give him a good bop, go ahead.

I'm just surprised they didn't say anything about it

The big thing was in the UA you could not use action surge for spells.

So its the same as 2014 and not what was in the UA?

They didnt talk about action surge...

Can't say I know. They didn't say. I could come up with some things that make sense but you'd have to ask the writers man. This isnt on me, im not saying i wrote it. They wrote it this way. Im just saying if you wanted to run it as the writers must have intended based on the text then thats how...

Would I Pay 100$ for an extended book that was stellar. Yes, without a doubt. Would I run vecna like that? I'm not sure yet. Im leaning towards No. But I will probably make killing Vecna a failure unless the party does something that really seals the deal otherwise. Do I think that's how...

I think page count was the issue as well.

I don't think that's an accurate analogy at all

Unfortunately we don't get to know the authors intent just what's written

Im sure the author considered other options. Several books have if the players do X or if the players do Y. They could have been more vague, or a whole host of other things. The book goes out of its way to say the chime is the only way to win in more then one spot. For example, it does not say...

Clearly some way otherwise it would have been mentioned in the book. The book states the only way to win is the chime. Therefore if he dies the ritual continues. I don't know how but if you drop him to zero it happens. There isn't any vagueness, it clearly says you MUST use the chime, and the...

IF the PCs kill vecna the ritual is not stopped. Thats the issue. The ritual will finish thus the party has failed. Potentially the ritual isn't even delayed his soul very well could finish the ritual sans a body. Either way the adventure is clear on a single win condition. As far as the map...

The E1 you looked at is for Vecnas Grasp, I'm talking about E1 and E2 in the cave of shattered reflection. As it stands now vecna could just walk into one of those rooms, because he can go through the doors as normal, and just chill in there forever because the players couldn't do anything about...

So, it shouldn't be magical right, however neither is fell rebuke, yet the text specifies fell rebuke works. That strongly implies vile teleport is intended to not work.

Im happy to show you were any of those things are. As written the only way to beat Vecna is to burn his legendary resistances, and use the chime on him without dropping him to zero hp. There is a single win condition, the chime at under 50 hp. A legendary resistance can null the chime(and he...

I agree. I think if something was nerfed in 2024 like action surge (assumed based on playtest) you are not intended to take the stronger thing from 2014 with all of the stronger things from 2024. In several discord groups though people are saying that fully backwards compatible means that you...

So I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet but the final part is pretty rough. Some issues: The map for the cave, E1 and E2 sapphire cant be reached. Vecna as written cant use vile teleport Vecna can't see though the walls If you kill vecna the party loses If you use the chime on vecna...

Yeah I'm already seeing people say they believe it is intended that you can mix and match anything from 2014 and 2024. So a 2024 fighter could take 2014 action surge. Im hoping we get some guidance and that it will be clear in DDB
