    So on tic tok we have had quite a long discussion over many creators (some old but a lot young new to 5e) about balance between classes and this was the end of a thread. Crab Dominion on TikTok Basically he explains that Gandalf and Merlin are NOT D&D characters but mage the ascension...

    D&D (2024) Non magic inspiration

    So the bard can use there inspiration to heal as a reaction when someone is hit by an attack. Will this cause the same backlash as warlords? Or could this be a test FOR a warlord?

    D&D General Magic item creation. How it works or what it does?

    So my buddy gave our group a headache tonight. She started by asking “if I wanted to make a +4 armor would you let me? And we all thought that simple. “Nothing above 3 and even then you need to be high level. So then she asked if she made double strength bracers of defense that gave a +4...

    D&D General Chris just said why I hate wizard/fighter dynamic

    TLDR: WotC said the quite part out loud, caster rule and noncasters drool Okay, so there are a series of interviews (I think each has it's own thread) and part of one of them Chris Perkins says "a lot of high level spells could just be renamed shenanigan's" (I may not have exact wording right)...

    D&D 5E Charm, the evil spells

    My TLDR is at the end just scroll if you want no context: So let me start by saying I am not the most PC guy, I never have been, most likely never will be.

    D&D 5E rebuilding a fighter subclass

    How hard would it be to get a 5e fighter to look like a hero of myth and not like a soldier? I have often heard people say "If the battle master was the basic fighter, then add sub class to that" and I can see some reason to want that. I however also see a reason to keep the champion for people...

    D&D 5E New Vs Old

    IN multi other threads I have heard people talk about new and old players... even I am guilty of it. BUT, what does it really mean? In a recent thread someone said that New Players come in expecting a game like Critical Role, and that wont fit with the old astatic so even as the hobby grows the...

    D&D General What are Players?

    Okay I have a theory about gameing styles... most (not all) of your style comes down to what you think the players are, but there are multi questions to this. 1) Is the DM a player? 2) Are the players writers creating a narative? 3) Are the PCs able to have any narrative control of the world...

    D&D 4E Martial classes

    in another thread someone said the best part of 4e (or at least one of them) is that with 4 martial 2 divine 2 arcane classes in the PHB it set the stage for Martial Heroes to take the for front... Now through out the edition we got avenger, invoker, swordmage, bard and as such the arcane and...
