So the titular monsters of Dungeons and Dragons are getting a full visual redesign! The dragons have had a consistent design since 3rd edition, so I was pretty shocked when I heard that they were being redone. However when I saw them I instantly loved them. More than ever before they feel like...

I've been thinking of running a level-0 character funnel as a one shot for my group, and I'm wondering if anyone else has tried running one this edition? If so how did it go, and did the players enjoy it I'm a bit concerned about how well it will work and player mindset, as a character funnel...

This is the next in a series of threads about how to implement certain commonly requested class concepts in 1DnD, in order to see how people want certain class/subclass concepts handled in the new system. I'm focusing on the most suggested and talked about classes first, and maybe I'll move onto...

Ok do I thought I might do a new one of these threads every few days, in order to see how people want certain class/subclass concepts handled in the new system. I'm focusing on the most suggested and talked about classes first, and maybe I'll move onto some more obscure ones later. So first...

Edit: This is an older thread I made, but I'm repurposing it into the "how should it be handled" series of threads. We know the Artificer isn't coming to the new PHB, but we do have some clues about consistent changes which are being made to classes across he board. When (or if) Artificer...

Edit: This is an older thread I made, but I'm repurposing it into the "how should it be handled" series of threads. So we know all the official classes apart from artificer are being reworked for 5e, and artificer has been mentioned so the developers have remembered it exists. However Blood...

So the worst (for WotC and Hasbro) happens. One DnD launches and instantly makes 4e look like a record success. Meanwhile all the players just continue quietly playing 5e instead. This is a question which has been on my mind since before the OGL disaster, as pretty much every single person I've...

So new edition... and once again, not a single arcane half caster class to act as a paladin/ranger counterpart. Doesn't matter if you prefer artificer or swordmage, neither makes it in. The entire archetype has been strangely ignored in 5e, with artificer having only 4 subclasses and banned by...

This is actually one of the things I'm most hyped for in 5.5e, and there has been very little discussion around it so far. 5e was extremely light on guidelines for player bases, so I'm very excited to see what they come up with. What are peoples hopes and wants for it?

So I made this thread on the ODnD reddit and the results surprised me. Thought I'd post a duplicate here to see if the views are consistent over multiple forums. Just wondering how many classes people want to see this edition. Not just in the PHB, but in the supplements which come afterwards...

So with the new UA, Bards are now keyed to the arcane spell list, but are only able to take divination, enchantment, illusion, and transmutation spells. This has resulting in them losing a huge number of thematic and iconic spells which really do suit a bard, as well as gaining many which don't...

So evidently the new class spell lists are being made by a combination of power source and magic school. With bards being arcane spell list, divination, enchantment, illusion, and transmutation schools. While rangers are primal spell list, and all schools apart from evocation. However...

So now we've seen the initial version of the three Expert classes, it's been shown that multiclassing is still in and apparently still functioning the same way. So how well do the new three classes multiclass with each other? The options are: Bard/Ranger: I can't see this working well due to...

So overall multiclassing in 5e is pretty full of issues, and overall feels like it was created in the last two hours on a Friday afternoon before the edition went to print. It messes up tiers of play, it messes up ability score progression, it doesn't function with martial extra attacks (but...

Lots of things were different in the DnD Next playtest, with things like martials getting a variety of manoeuvres, to casting in armour still not being allowed as a holdout from earlier editions. However one of the biggest differences was the sorcerer, which was an entirely different class...

One thing which is brought up often when talking about 5e is the lack of a dedicated arcane/elemental gish class. Both of the two prior editions of DnD have had a dedicated arcane gish, as well as the current and prior editions of pathfinder. All have been centred around a spellstrike type...
