    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    I understand your point, but then if Paladins not using a mount in dungeons is a thing, why do the other Classes get it? Aren't they more likely NOT to use a mount than a Paladin? I think we are going to have to disagree on this one. However, thanks for the response, I do appreciate it!

    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    I had a question that I think got lost up-thread - Does the Paladin get the Find Steed Ritual? Because it doesn't seem like they do, yet Cleric, Druid, and even eventually Ranger can get it.

    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    So, I got my PDF early, and here are my thoughts…. I love some of the changes a lot. Heroic Boon at 10th level is great, and I love the split in Spells and Rituals. I love Spell Circles and the 4 Spell Lists. Good, good changes. However, I am not a fan of other changes. Spellblade having to...

    Damsel: Millie Bobbie Brown is a princess sacrificed to a dragon, and then fights back

    Clearly, but that does not negate the lesson for us poor players.

    Damsel: Millie Bobbie Brown is a princess sacrificed to a dragon, and then fights back

    This movie is required watching. Why, you ask? Because the beginning is a Master Class on how NOT to fight a Dragon. ( I was literally screaming when the King says 'Form a Line!". Ugh. )

    I'm ready for a new Star Wars RPG

    I'm of the opinion that the AGE System from Green Ronin would be a good fit. The Stunt system seems very cinematic and their magic system would adapt well to the Force, I think.

    D&D (2024) Wizard (Playtest 7)

    One thing I would have loved for them to lean into would be Signature Spells. Getting them earlier and advancing options there would be a better defining Wizard ability than the Memorize Spell ability they gave them. Also, A5E did this a little better - A Specialist Archetype which can be any...

    D&D 5E I want more flavorful wizard subclasses.

    This was what I was thinking - Battle ( War ) Mage - Evocation & Abjuration specialist Beguiler - Illusion & Enchantment specialist Necromancer - Necromancy & Divination specialist Conjurer - Conjuration & Transmutation specialist Alternatively, you could go the A5E path - one 'Specialist'...

    D&D (2024) 48 subclasses in the 2024 PHB: What are they?

    If they do 4 subclasses for Wizard, I'd prefer something along the lines of how Level Up did it - Specialist ( you choose which ), Generalist, Bladesinger and Elementalist. I think this would cover all the ground necessary. Also, I don't think Hexblade is necessary for Warlock. Pact of the...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance: Dragons of Deceit Review

    Finished it. Thought it was good, and it hit all the member-berries. My only real criticism was that Dalamar seemed.......nice? I'm used to him being somewhat of a jerk to most, cordial to those he respects at best. IDK, maybe it's just me, but that seemed to take me out of the scenes with him...

    D&D (2024) Armor, simplified for 5.5E:

    Weapons might be a little more difficult......let me see what I can do.

    D&D (2024) Armor, simplified for 5.5E:

    Honestly, if I was going to 'simplify' armor, it would just be to flavor text. Thus - Light Armor - 12+Dex, 15 G.P. Medium Armor - 14+Dex (max +2), Disadvantage on Stealth, STR 13 min., 50 G.P. Heavy Armor - 17 AC, Disadvantage on Stealth, STR 15 min., 400 G.P. This way you stay within bounded...

    OSR If you were going to commit to one clone of older edition D&D going forward, what would it be?

    Although I missed the poll, I found Chromatic Dungeons to be fairly good. That would be my choice.

    D&D (2024) 1D&D elf: Swing and a miss

    I'm going to nay-say here and say I like this new playtest trance. The one the new Eladrin has is terrible. It has caused all sorts of issues at my table, so to my mind it is super-exploitable, especially with the Monk weapon proficiency in Tasha's. I'm fine for getting rid of it. or reduce it...
