Dungeons and Dragons

Horror Subclasses available for review, voting ends the 13th.

Great for DnD’s Spelljammer but also Starfinder, Numenera, SWN, Mothership, EclipsePhase, Shadowrun and also Cyberpunk. Listen always in shuffle mode.

@dnd @nostupidquestions Roleplaying aside, is there a point in Gnomes and Spell Focus (Illusion) in core DnD 3.5? There seems to be a dearth of relevant useful illusion spells.Sorry. I don't know if it's proper here since I can't read the rules since my IP or country seems to be blocked. I've only heard Whisper Gnomes being cheesy but that's not core and I don't think what makes him work are part of core or at least the whole SRD either.

I understand there is an LFG community, but it is dead. If this is not allowed feel free to remove it

Question for the floor:

So in my campaign a character died in a way where the body is entirely destroyed, but the players wanted to revive them anyway. The only spell that they can possibly access can fix this for them is true resurrection which is way out of range for them. The backup plan was to go find their soul and figure out a new plan from there. I'm fine with that with my understanding of what happens when you die in Forgotten Realms lore (as follows)

Here’s all playlists I collected, from different users across Spotify and Apple Music. All genres covered, from horror to fantasy. Enjoy!

Mr. Mertle, the eccentric recluse in town, needs a band of brave adventurers to help him deal with a problem. Goblins have taken up residence around the crumbling remains of an ancient fighting pit behind his home, and their presence is becoming increasingly disruptive. But what seems like a simple pest control job quickly turns into something far more dangerous - and more bizarre.

I have always liked Dark Sun, and Wastes of Chaos seems like a pretty good fit for that, especially since the group I was thinking of running it for is used to D&D 5e now. Any experiences with it out there?

It’s kinda crazy for me to think about. Story time! Otherwise just ask me anything :)

I have a large group (7 players) that I play with on the regular. My saint of a DM though needs a break to which I am happy to oblige with a one-shot or two. I'm looking for a one-shot that would be fun for them at level 5+. We're all experienced players with decent to great table etiquette so the table size only concerns me as far as difficulty is concerned. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to figure out a ruling for something one of my players wants to do. They're invisible, but they took a couple of seemingly non-attack actions that my gut says should break inviz.

Are there any canon rules for an honor duel between sun elves in the Forgotten Realms setting?

I want to get into TTRPGs (Cyberpunk 2020, DnD,etc.), but I'm completely clueless as how to navigate the topic.

After 4 years, 16 days, and 14 levels, the party finally defeated my final villain. They successfully prevented the return of the exiled gods and earned the highest honor in the land.

Back when I was a senior in high-school, I adopted a freshman dork who got me to watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (if only to get him to talk about something other than Skyrim). I'm gonna call him Baby Gronk. He was a good kid and I was trying to show him how to be cool, so I invited him to my next D&D campaign. This was a mistake.

New DnD player I have the archive site version of the manual which my DM sent and I've been using but I'm hoping to find something a little easier to navigate than just the PDF. Everything I've turned up is a different version, and and all suggestions welcome. Thank you friends and happy playing!

I'd like to try DnD out once more, although I may not always be available so I am asking for something casual

Since I couldn't find any site where all the 2025 monster manual previews were gathered, I've decided to create my own here. Feel free to add anything I have missed and I'll update the post!

What's your favorite insult to use when casting Vicious Mockery?

So if I were to be fighting tiamat, and I true polymorphed into another tiamat, would I be able to use fire breath against her, or would we need to do melee combat only? And would our claws be able to do anything to each other or would we have a stalemate?

Hello, fellow nerds:

My party recently:

Is there an abridged version (1-2 pages) of main game math mechanics for v3.5 or v5?

Kind of a shower thought, and maybe it's just how I run campaigns, but it feels like there's a lot of parallels between DMing and that guy who has a great idea for a book/movie but will never write a single page.

Playing the haunted house in Curse of Strahd, and our party was tracking down "baby Walter" in the sub-basement.

I am looking for a stat stick build where I just hit stuff really hard and a lot. Which do you think is better in phb 2024?

DM: “You exit the warehouse and make your way across the crowded market square. What measures do you take to avoid the suspicion of the guards?”

The new College of Dance Bard subclass looks like it will be really fun. Unarmed strikes whose damage scales with Bardic Inspiration dice and uses Dex. Unarmored Defense that adds Charisma. Bonus action unarmed strikes when you use Bardic Inspiration.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I've never posted anything before.

Running Ghosts of SaltmarshI will try and dm Ghosts of Saltmarsh in a some weeks. To ad a twist and some flavour, i thought bringing in a bbeg who controls all three of the factions. I just need some ideas to weave it together. Any tipps and ideas on how to do this?@dnd@lemmy.world

So the 2024 Players Handbook (PHB) is set to release in September. I've already bought and paid for the book. In fact I get early access in early September.

Hi friends! I recently came across an interesting topic in D&D that I wanted to share with you all: creative use of items. For example, a rope can become not only a tool, but also a trap or a weapon. In one of the games I played, a mage dissolved a grate with acid instead of attacking. Have you ever had any unexpected situations with items? I'd love to hear about them!

As the title says.

Tryjng to create a character@dnd@lemmy.world I try to build a Brooklyn 99 character,I think i will try an go for Rosa DiazAs class i will go for a fighter/warlock multiclass..any tipps for subclasses?

Hello Everyone! Long term Dungeon Master Lazorne here and also maintainer of RetroDECK😅

On June 29, 2024, at 6:30 P.M. Pacific Time, Roll20 learned that an administrative account was compromised. By 7:30 P.M. Pacific Time, we acted to ensure that all unauthorized access was blocked, and we began the process of investigating the incident to determine the scope.

The funniest Out of Game moment I have ever had at the table was in my previous IRL group. We rotated who was in the DM chair, but this session our host, lets call him Phillip Barker, was running his Pathfinder campaign. The problem player, a hustlebro i shall name Emmett Roe, decides to flirt with an NPC. Phillip reciprocates but reveals the character is asexual. Emmett lost his shit, calling Phillip r♡♡♡♡♡ed and asking “why are there f♡♡♡♡ts everywhere now” and yelling something dumb about genders and mental illness. Phillip calmly pulls down one of his zweihanders from a display rack and unsheathes it, walks over to him, and tells him “You're going to leave now.” Emmett leaves, Phillip sits back down, and we continue the game as if Emmet was never there.
