2024-05-29, 12:01 PMI don't see how different it would be to label New Spell is Song rather than New Spell is Enchantment. The only difference is looking at what the...95 replies | 6713 view(s)

2024-05-29, 12:17 AMIt's too late now for 6E, but for hypothetical 7E they could take a page from 2E and make new schools based on spell effects instead of how the spell...95 replies | 6713 view(s)

2024-05-22, 09:35 PMThere is no DC if there's no need to roll. It is different than someone's modifier allows them to succeed a DC check on a Natural 1. Technically...60 replies | 3001 view(s)

2024-05-22, 04:37 PMI know. That's the problem. They made a poor choice. In Xanathar they gave DC tables for tool use. In theory 6E will have them from the start....1150 replies | 57837 view(s)

2024-05-22, 03:38 PMThe difficulty of a thing doesn't change based on the person doing it. One person can have a better chance of succeeding than another, but the task...60 replies | 3001 view(s)

2024-05-22, 02:55 PMThat's how a game works. Everyone plays the same game. That's the point of having rules. Each campaign uses the same rules for classes, spells,...1150 replies | 57837 view(s)

2024-05-22, 12:17 PMWhat is the knight's attitude towards the PCs? Is the knight under orders for no one to see the king? The DM chooses the why the knight is there....1150 replies | 57837 view(s)

2024-05-21, 08:28 PMThat's the deal. All goblins in platemail and shield will have AC 20 in every campaign a DM decides to have one. You have the statistics. It's up to...1150 replies | 57837 view(s)

2024-05-21, 03:42 PMSorry this happened to you. I know I would be disappointed if a DM says I can't do a Cool Idea, but I do prefer being told no than be told to roll...171 replies | 10295 view(s)

2024-05-21, 11:46 AMThat is why rogues have a poor reputation and other skill use problems. Without that universal guidance you have DMs who make DCs too high or some...1150 replies | 57837 view(s)
