    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    5e Magic Resistance has the ability to render single target spells extremely ineffective. Immunities exist in the game too, such as "immune to damage from normal weapons". Damage Threshold 10 (to still use that example of a CR 10 Stone Golem) would likely require a fighter dealing 1d8+6 to...

    God Rules: Players Guide (5e)

    Howdy amigo! :) Well off the top of my head...approx. 100 Epic spells, approx. 100 Artifacts (relatively easy conversion), Divine Realm building, 30+ new Materials, multiple new dimensions...but I am sure there is a lot more than that. I do currently have (Epic) Spell Conversion notes in...

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    Yes...any ability that negates the effects of a character's actions has the potential to render the character's actions null and void for that round. I don't see how (for the sake of argument) a Stone Golem having Damage Threshold 10 in combat with a warrior is any different than a monster...

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    Given that a basic +3 bonus makes a weapon 'merely' Very Rare, infers a base +4 bonus would be Legendary. Of course a bigger issue is that weapons with basic bonuses are generally rubbish for dealing damage in 5E which would be better served making each weapon '+' add another die (or two for...

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    That would suggest you are also against high Armor Class, all energy immunity's, condition immunity's, spell immunity, etc. Uncovering an enemy's weakness, weak spots or vulnerability to exploit should prove rewarding. Likewise expecting all your tactics should simply just work on every enemy...

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    Neither does the Stone Golem (CR 10), which seems like a missed opportunity because its an extremely simple mechanic to implement. I would have just given the Stone Golem 20 Hit Dice and Damage Threshold 10; maybe make it Vulnerable to Pick-axes. That way it has that invulnerable quality where...

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    Instead just give Werewolves Damage Threshold 5 (or whatever half their Hit Dice is) but make them Vulnerable to Silver-edged/plated weapons. Do the same with devils, demons, fey and their susceptibilities.

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    Yes. This seems to make the basic magic weapons interesting and viable again. In AD&D, weapons went up to +5 (even +6) and the hit points were about 50% less overall than 5E, which caps the weapon bonuses at +3. The damage is just rubbish. So weapons are taking a massive power drop; which is...

    D&D (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    I'm using Damage Threshold = 1/2 Monster's Hit Dice in my new 5E immortal's book (GOD RULES: Player's Guide). That seems to work well; although I have a rule (necessary for epic play IMO otherwise the caster vs. warrior gap becomes too great) where each magical '+' adds damage equal to the...

    God Rules: Players Guide (5e)

    Hey MazzelDazzle buddy! :) Almost. Not quite at the "I know I can finish this within 4 weeks" phase, so no previews just yet, but every day I improve stuff and get that tiny bit closer to the finish line. As noted, down to (approx.) the last 10 illustrations (from around 250). Pretty much...

    God Rules: Players Guide (5e)

    You haven't missed much, I have been working away, still a bit to do though, although the art is basically done...maybe 10 illustrations remain (out of about 250), that's it. Yes the tiering nomenclature is a bit 'wibbly-wobbly' at the moment. Basically the 9th dimension is a Hyperverse, but...

    Immortals Handbook website back up

    Howdy Khisanth amigo! :) I hope people like them. I think the list is 36 (last time I checked) but that includes materials like Mithril and Adamantine. The materials go up to 9 Dimensional, I do have higher materials but I'm struggling for space in the book as it is, so its still 50/50 if...

    D&D (2024) 12 New LEGO Collectible D&D Minifigs In September

    Would love to buy some as a Christmas Present for a friend (who is a big Lego AND D&D aficionado) but I suspect he will already have them all....the rascal.

    D&D 5E Beyond Level 20?

    Ahoy there! :) In our current campaign we are Level 20 with 10 or 11 Epic Boons each. So we are pushing the boundaries of official play. Without much 3rd party support its tricky to pull off. Obviously I am still dragging my heels on my (now up to 444 page) GOD RULES: Players Guide with a...

    D&D (2024) You're not planning on getting 2024 D&D? Why is that?

    The tone of the artwork is putting me off getting the PHB (even if the quality is a vast improvement). Myriad other issues I was willing to look past (like the OGL business - because the designers themselves were not responsible for those). I think Weapon Mastery is a great idea, but the...
