    D&D 5E Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    Yep. Echo vs Rune really comes down to how permissive your DM is about the echo. I rate Rune a bit higher because it just works in almost any group.

    D&D General Demetrios1453 Plays the Gold Box Games

    The first time I ever did this fight I was getting slaughtered. As the last man standing, my cleric cast Animate Dead out of desperation and brought back a fighter. Tyranthraxus murdered my cleric, and the zombie fighter got the killing blow. The game then has my lone zombie walk back to town...

    D&D General Are you aware that the New Edition (5.5 whatever) is a part of the 50th Anniversary of D&D?

    Snarking and sarcasm are also part of the GenX legacy. :cool:

    D&D (2024) New Dungeon Master's Guide Cover Features Venger (From the D&D Cartoons)

    Needs a tiny Sven Vicke in the party.

    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    Skills are automatically maxed out if you are proficient in them. Hopefully you picked skills that fit your character. Though I am amused at the idea of a character who hates all her proficiencies but won't retrain them. "My Pa forced me to do this until I got it RIGHT, now I can't stand it!"

    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    I've been fairly keen Gnomes = Obsession lately. Every gnome is inclined towards some manner of obsession, and they can change the things they obsess over, but you often finds gnomes who have become masters of their craft after practicing for hundreds of years. A little like Dwarven Craftsmen...

    D&D 5E Should Explicit Monster Roles Return?

    Yes. I want to be able to search for a term and get a list of monsters that apply. I don't think monsters should be forced to fill certain roles, but role tags should be given to monsters after they are made so someone can easily understand where that monster is probably strong, new DMs can...

    D&D 5E What Level To Hunt A Great Wyrm?

    The ominous great wyrm has a massive black ballista bolt lodged through its eye from some prior battle. It struggles to think clearly, but does have moments of lucidity. Even other dragons have discreetly put money and items into the pot to help end its suffering. Now you can justify any...

    D&D General Ignoring the rules!

    The rule I break the most is... the attack rules for monsters. Say a gorgon charges you and hits. If it's a mini boss, I'm probably going to ask for a strength save, or you get shoved back and smashed against the wall. Or something similarly spicy. Or a horde of imps grappling you even though...

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    I'm most of the way through beating it with Abserd, work just ate all my free time. I read about someone beating it at Level 1 with lots of barrelmancy, and I think I heard about someone beating it just by walking?

    D&D General If you could be any D&D species in real life…

    Warforged I'm already pretty transhumanist, so going full terminator sounds like a plus to me! Unknown age limit, advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, resistance to poison damage, you don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe, you are immune to disease, you don't need to sleep, and...

    D&D 5E Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    You give him a big pile of spell points but only let him recover between story arcs. Even that would be generous by LOTR standards. Many of the supernatural creatures in LOTR had vast power, but once it was used up... it was just gone. Knowing how to conserve and only using it at the right...

    D&D 5E How do you handle randomly rolling for stats

    I let my players roll, then every set of rolls becomes an option for every player. This definitely results in more powerful characters, but that is something I can easily account for as a DM. It also gives everyone the fun of rolling, but protects them from vast differences between sets (unless...

    D&D (2024) Deborah Ann Woll and Matt Mercer consulted on the 2024 DMG.

    Yeah, I've seen Aabria Iyengar run games like Misfits and Magic and she does pretty well. Energetic, descriptive, and intelligent. But judging from EXU1 it seemed like D&D was not her game of choice. I'm also not sure why EXU1 started off like a sandbox when they had such limited run time. She...

    D&D (2024) Deborah Ann Woll and Matt Mercer consulted on the 2024 DMG.

    The whole thing is silly to me, because (as @Oofta mentions) players have always been able to discuss things with each other between sessions! You might talk tactics about an upcoming fight. If two players wanted to have their characters take things in a romantic direction, you would certainly...

    D&D (2024) Deborah Ann Woll and Matt Mercer consulted on the 2024 DMG.

    She's very good. She does have an intense love of puzzles that causes her players to get stuck at least once per "story", but it's basically endearing at this point. "Ohh, here comes the puzzle." :p
