D&D (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

That looks more like characteristics based on the ability scores. Is there another set of tables for characteristics based on alignment?

Thanks for sharing the druid spell list. Looks like it’s still heavily weighted towards concentration spells.


As for the GWM feat – the wording seems odd to me. Why would anyone not choose to add the extra PB damage? Why not just say that all attacks with heavy weapons deal extra PB damage? Why is it an optional thing? The mind boggles.

Oh shoot, I meant to post this photo.

@DavyGreenwind I always liked the nice compact set of conditions at the back of the 2014 PHB. Are they presented similarly in the current one, and do any have significant changes from their 2014 versions? Any additions or removals?

Bloodied is also added! It's not exactly a condition, but rather a description for when something has less than half of hp remaining. It interacts with some subclass features, and will probably be important in the MM

Can you please post a screenshot of the Hiding text in the Exploration section?

I am told the text says "Adventurers and monsters often hide, whether to spy on one another, sneak past to a guardian, or set an ambush. The Dungeon Master decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding" but I would love visual confirmation.

Thank you very much!

What version of Guidance did they end up going with?

Does proning a target end their concentration? Someone said it does but it was a friend of a friend source

I'll note that this confusion is because it does in BG3.

I wish they had kept Dazed and Slowed from the 2024 playtest. Oh well, I will still use them.

I think Dazed and Slowed were the same thing. I would have liked Dazed to remain as well.
