    Wizards Goes Big with Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    I think Radiant Citadel and Ghosts of Saltmarsh are both fantastic adventure anthologies.

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

    Ranger is just a rugged warrior in rugged terrain that will use any tactic to complete their mission, which is usually preservation of wildlife or protection of civilization. This is as true IRL with Rangers as it is in Fantasy. Just in Fantasy, instead of wearing army greens they wear green...

    Wizards Goes Big with Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    I wish there was more Nevernight, I wish the settings used their more High Fantasy aspects for the higher levels, I wish the Rod was actually instrumental in defeating Vecna, but I love that they keep having Tiamat show up as an anti-hero. She does it in Descent into Avernus as well. Tiamat is...

    D&D 5E Enhancing Vecna: Eve of Ruin *SPOILERS*

    The issue starts with the damage. Flat out, Miska should be dealing out hundreds of damage a turn, or be putting out comparable effects. At CR 24, against a level 19 party, nothing else is going to cut it. No minions matter; the minions are bosses or PART of the boss fight, so you gotta' balance...

    D&D 5E Enhancing Vecna: Eve of Ruin *SPOILERS*

    Miska is very, very uninspired.

    D&D 5E Looking for some solid DnD 5e home brew classes.

    My brother. Laserllama and Kibblestasty have heckin' free content that is truly amazing. Laserllama is the best, Kibblestasty is his rival. Also, Mage Hand Press has a book called "Valda's Spire of Secrets" that contains NINE classes in it (including the Witch). These classes are great and...

    D&D General What it means for a race to end up in the PHB, its has huge significance

    Human - Tiefling - Dragonborn as a trinity and then attaching two other races to this can make for a bunch of diverse worlds. This is a very small tangent but thinks for the sudden kernel of inspiration. I never thought on this specific trinity as a potential core for a world before but now that...

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    Haha, we are moving in exact opposite frameworks. I've made a Warlord that used Warlock-style stuff, but now I'm liking the Rogue idea more. My favorite unwritten idea though is the one shared by @Minigiant significantly upthread. He poised the idea of basically a grab bag of buffs that can be...

    Wizards Goes Big with Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    Sounds like an execution, not a concept, problem, but a significant one. That Crown is insane and its clear they did not think through the implications it carries.

    Wizards Goes Big with Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    You talking about with ol K? Is it really that big of a deal? Even with the OP magic artifact involved, you could probably just tweak it -- the idea doesn't seem that bad.

    D&D General Greyhawk to Faerun and Beyond: A Multiversal D&D Lore Book Is Coming This Fall

    This is the book I am most excited for this ENTIRE edition. I live for this naughty word!

    D&D General Greyhawk to Faerun and Beyond: A Multiversal D&D Lore Book Is Coming This Fall

    Even Dark Sun isn't that problematic. You can reduce or minimize the slavery and lose literally nothing. The brutal nature of the rest of it is right in line with many 5E WotC books that have some crazy brutality in them.

    That attunement slot idea is grand! Stealing it, thanks.
