    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    you do not have a roster of people living in Baldur’s Gate however, you have a few individuals. More like knowing the CEO and CFO of a company without knowing all the employees. Those two are both white, would you assume that there are no non-white people working at that company?

    D&D 5E (2024) Preferences in a New Official 5.5e Specific Setting

    those are two separate questions, and the answer respectively is yes and no ;)

    Game Balance, what is it to you, why is it important, and what if you all but threw it out?

    I am more interested in balance between players / characters. As long as all of them are about equally useful in combat and outside of combat (covering separate niches is fine), that is what matters. Balance vs the enemies is up to the DM, they can always make unwinnable fights, regardless of...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Vecna, the one adventure that did go to 20, Acererak ends at level 11, Strahd at 10, Demogorgon and Tiamat at 15 So they barely have to tune them down for a level 10 adventure Also, you talked about marketing, which is what I referred to when I said I do not see them fighting tough monsters...

    don’t think I have seen them used anywhere in a long time. Either way, they can continue doing so and can continue not using them in any adventure, just like they have for the past 10 years ;) No one says these guys cannot be in the MM, maybe they would be slightly weaker in a game that stops...

    in the PHB? that makes sense, in FR or Eberron not so much, there they can go much more specific

    I agree, I kinda draw the line at 5th level spells at the latest

    since most published adventures end around 11-13, they either can still be used or never could be used in the first place.

    and yet you expect WotC to give you a guide on how to create good ones? Sounds more like they do not really know how to do that either (and the Vecna one is a good example of that)

    I am not sure anyone has found a working formula for high level yet that works for a wider audience, and D&D imo makes it near impossible for it to exist

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    why? If anything 2024 looks a lot like races frequently live together

    how simple does it need to be for that? 13th Age, Daggerheart, and Draw Steel (among others) all seem to go for that niche

    not sure what you mean, I doubt marketing insists on having Orcus in the MM or an adventure
