I made a "Lightning Rod" spell that draws lightning damage attacks/spells to a fixed point and harmlessly discharges them. Similiarly, a "Firequench" spell that suppress fire attacks/spell in a fixed area. They are essentially akin to FR's "Spell Engine" and "Anti-Magic Field" spells, though...

They could have gone the other direction, almost like they did in 2014 and do it by creature type - blocking up all the Dragons, all the Fiends, Celestials, etc. in their own section. In the end, it's all just preference and I don't like the half-attempt they did in 2024 any better than the...

Yeah, that's the reason WotC gave, but I just don't buy it. There was no reason not to have a "typical" goblin/orc/bugbear/lizardfolk/etc. warrior stat block in the book as a humanoid separate from the generic Bandit/Guard and give the various humanoids their own nuanced fighting style like we...

Too bad Overrun didn't get carried over to 5E, that would make mounts frightening (especially if coupled with Ride-by). Calvary charges were more about breaking through or overrunning lines than skewering a single individual with a shishkabob. Once the line was broken, your infantry can follow...

I'll second the Steam Forged Games (SFG) Epic Encounters line. A good mix of minis and an adventure scenario to boot.

Wizkids was pretty good until they started their premium lines and ALL their prices started skyrocketing. If I had to start over, I'd go with the 2D/3D acrylic minis, such as skinny minis - my brother is going this route, and stores his in a binder for easy access (vs. the half-my-room for my...

I bought the 2024 manual, but after viewing the changes to Lycanthropes and how they handled "humanoids", the book has gone on the shelf and not been used. I have not found a change - including the sorting order - that I have not liked.

2014 rules, but I played a hexblade warlock and never did change the weapon I was using. Went the Polearm master route, and with the math to calculate combo tricks & damage using hex & other spells, switching around weapons wasn't something I wanted to bother with. Played to at least 14th...

Too soon since it came out, just to reprint it for 2024.

That's one of the downfalls of D&D. PCs get better as they level, but things like equipment, mounts, vehicles/vessels don't get that treatment (usually just replaced with "better" versions than improving by themselves). Giving companions/mounts Evasion-like abilities at 5th-6th (using the PB...

Please, no.

Nah, Monsters of the Multiverse doesn't have the likes of Strahd Zombies, the various Sahaugin creatures from Ghosts of Saltmarsh, and especially Kelek, Warduke and the like from Witchlight. Those entries.

Y'know, one thing I would REALLY like is a book that takes all the monsters from the various adventure books we've gotten for 5E and put them in one book. I haven't bought all the adventure books myself, but I would really appreciate the monsters out of them.

Not only bowmen, but also hurling spears and the like. In Tomb of Annihilation, I had a dragonborn paladin riding an allosaurus (named Diana, after the animated series Primal) who I would hurl javelins at foes from dinoback. Also, didn't the mongols wear an undershirt of silk for some benefit...

That would be because we have a template (and all the associated media) we can work off for Strahd - Dracula. There's no correlation for Vecna until recently via Stranger Things.
