    D&D General Need Magic Longbow Ideas

    Nature's Call, a silly name for a weapon of great fame, but in the hands of those that can use it is deadly. +1 longbow that creates magical arrows at-will when drawn. These last for one round before fading away. On a critical roll, add (+2d8) lightning. This is a reflection from the...

    D&D 5E Thoughts on Divorcing D&D From [EDIT: Medievalishness], Mechanically Speaking.

    Last convention I went to I was given a giff soldier to play as an NPC. He has a pistol that shot twice a round since he was 5th level. It dealt 1d10 piercing damage which was the same as the warlock next to me using eldritch blast, so nothing seemed like a big deal. The hand-grenade I also...

    D&D General The Problem With Paladin's Medieval Origins (+)

    I recall a time when paladins were like Anakin and that the were supposed to be the chosen one. They were supposed to save us, not join them. They were the Lancelot to our Percival, so much that the only way to be one was to 'roll' him up at home and hope the DM let you in. Now, we have...

    How Many Spells Does a Wizard Need?

    There seems to be a fine line between being limited in what you can do and having too many that you cannot make a choice. Some spells can double up and be either a ritual or be modified using a higher level spell. It seems that the higher level you get, the less spells you need at the higher...

    D&D 5E Grappled

    I grant advantage to the grappler to hit someone that it is grappling unless it does something automatically. I never have PCs that grapple, so I'm not sure if that would tip anything for me.

    D&D (2024) Understanding "nostalgia"

    The song I'll never write is called "80s rock and 90s country".

    D&D General Ignoring the rules!

    I seem to mostly do away with item attunement.

    "I'm a [BLANK] kid!"

    I recently noticed the Binge TV channel on my TV and they were playing Greatest American Hero reruns. I watched 6 episodes over the weekend.

    D&D 5E D&D is a drag race, think of climbing as a cantrip, and the rogue would be better at lock picking if it could only pick a few locks per day.

    I kind of see the rogue's thing being backstabbing rather than lockpicking, especially since 5e made a background that allows you to be trained in picking locks. If rogues are being shafted, grant them a number of times per day to add 1d6 to a skill they are trained in. Mostly since an...

    D&D General Planning a D&D editions tour

    I was thinking that the OP was planning to have a night of gaming where the PCs started off at 1st level playing BX and then after a couple hours gain 2nd level and swap to 1e. Play a few hours of 1e- gain a level and now play 2e ..... That would be hard to pull off but be awesome. Maybe...

    How Do You Feel About Published Adventures as a GM?

    I like having them around. I use them as as is, but tend to add more side quest stuff to make it tailored some to the players at my table. I also like having the shell of a campaign like the LMoPhandelver box set and be able to expand it past the 5th level and even just use some of the town...
