So, I know that the fighter survey is done, and it likely won't matter but I was watching the Treantmonk Fighter video (link below) and... I'm a mix between baffled and frustrated about some of the discussion of the Battle Master design. So, I figured I would get it off my chest. Figure many...

I haven't finished reading the monk playtest yet, and this isn't about anything past level 2. I just want to talk about first level monks, and try and understand why the design choice is still being made, and also highlight what is the, essentially, only real option monks are getting at low...

So, I’ve been in another caster vs martials thread, and a few days ago we were challenged to essentially put our money where our mouths are and design fixes for the martials. I’ve had ideas rattling around in my head since I saw the One DnD Fighter, but I kept telling myself to wait to start...

So, slightly click-baity title, let me give context. I was reading through this thread (WotC - WotC needs an Elon Musk) about if WoTC needs Elon Musk, and one of the complaints that caught my eye amongst the various points of discussion was that WoTC has released "no good sourcebooks". Except...

So, I've seen two videos now, one from Mr. Rhexx and one from, I believe it was the Dungeon Coach (who had talked to Mr Rhexx) and they both designed a homebrew armor system with the same basic rules. And Mr Rhexx just released a video announcing this and saying he's playtested this system over...

There has been some discussion about what no critting for 1D&D Monsters might mean, but I'm making a "basic rules overview" document and I just realized... Monsters not being allowed to crit means that hitting a downed player is only a single death save fail, not two. I think I like this? But...

So, in the flurry of videos, redditt posts, interviews and discussions about OD&D, someone asked a question that I thought was very interesting. Because my first thought was "no, they wouldn't" but then... maybe? They were looking at the Dragonborn Breath Weapon's damage, 1d10 + level...

So, I was recently reading through my the copies of the new books, and I saw something that.... annoys the crap out of me. And I'm wondering if maybe it is just me, or if there is something here, and if other people have solutions. So, I noticed it first with the Bombard, the Giff ship. It has...

I'm still trying to swim upstream and catch up on all the One D&D news, there is a lot, and a lot of general discussion. But I did want to take this chance to start a thread digging into one of the most significant changes to the rules in the set, in my opinion. Grappling. So, let's set the...

In my ongoing project of compiling all my various homebrew notes (I've been at it a month and feel only about half-way done T_T ) I came across this cantrip. To give credit, this is from a document by someone named Vin. Blessed Weapon transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range...

I had a document saved on my computer called "Cantrips from Enworld" where I copied a bunch of Cantrips that had been suggested in a thread. I think it was a sorcerer spell discussion thread. Most of them I no longer feel like I need. But one of them intrigues me. Stormwalk does 1d6 damage in...

To get somewhat specific, I'm wondering if there is a celestial equivalent to the Abishai? I've been mucking about with the Dragon Lore for a long time, and I like having Bahamut and Tiamat as a sort of Yin and Yang, the Abishai are the fiendish servants of Tiamat... but did Bahamut ever get a...

I hesitated to bring this here, but I am stumped and frustrated, so let me see what the wisdom of the crowd might offer me. I've been going through and applying a homebrew change to the various fighting styles and weapon builds. To make sure the changes weren't too crazy, I did some math and...

So, a few days ago I was watching a video about Dragon Hoards, and I had a thought. Gold is consistently a problem in DnD economies, particularly in terms of beings who have a lot of it. Gold is also fairly worthless. To an extent, all money is. This is why the Nine Hells and Mammon have always...

So, I have some family and friends asking me to run and that pushed me on finally finishing this idea that has been rumbling in the back of my head for the last while. I have home-brewed... basically every class to one degree or another, fine-tuning them to fit more in-line with the things I...

Why Tasha's Why?! So, I just went through the new spell list for Sorcerers in Tasha's, and as you might have guessed, I noticed that sorcerers do not get a single one of the new summoning spells. Oh sure, the Aberrant Mind gets Summon Abberration, and the Clockwork Soul gets Summon Construct...

So, I've got a new setting idea I've been playing around with, and one idea I've had for it is to reunify the elven races. I figure the sub-races could actually be the elves focusing on either Arcane Magic, Primal or Divine. Arcane would be the High, Primal the Wood, and then Drow would cover...

Technically, this idea has been bumping around my head since the Eberron UA from last year. It was pointed out that there is no difference or reason to buy and use different Foci or a component pouch. What has been more surprising to me is that I can't even find homebrew rules for this. Sure...

So, I've been messing with the equipment list and using a few different homebrew sources to add properties and weapons to the list. While gathering homebrew I ran into an idea of improving the Heavy property because it really doesn't do much of anything (it is a penalty to weapons, I...

I am sneaking onto my phone, so I don't have all the texts in front of me, but I wanted to talk about the alchemist subclass and try and figure out why it is so nerfed and what some good solutions could be. I want to compare it to the artilloerist, because it looked like it barely changed. So...
