I've been drawing maps on plain white poster board and then overlaying a transparent hex grid. So far it's worked well, but I need to make sure that the colors on the map are bold so that they're clearly visible
Effectively, what Spellblade is to Fighter, Dance Bard is to Monk. Plus buff sharing.
Ocean Druid has some cool stuff, but I always feel like "of the sea" or similar classes wind up kind of wasted. I don't think I've ever had a campaign spend enough time in or around large amounts of water to make a water-specialist class worthwhile. You can like, bypass the random swimming puzzle at the bottom of a dungeon somewhere, and the sidequest to magic pirate island has some nice utility - and then for the entire rest of the campaign you're on dry land, fighting land-based enemies, and the sea-themed subclass is mostly just flavour rather than mechanically useful.
They are making significant changes to every single class, all the old subclass splat books are no longfer valid, and there will be a new phb to buy which replaces the old one. Sounds like a new edition to me!
Nothing is ever invalid in dnd, You can adapt and use content from anything ever released it just takes work.
As far as if it’s an edition or not, it’s wotcs own view that this is not a new edition just an update of 5e, so if anything it’s more of a 3.5 situation
Bears, wolves/direwolves, giant eagles, hell the druid in the game I run summoned an auroch and rode it into combat once. I limit it to beasts the player has encountered personally or would reasonably know enough about their anatomy to summon, and then just limit what I expose them to.
As far as preventing cheesing with 8x small beasts and turning the battlefield into chaos? I recommend enemies with AOE attacks to clear the field.
Realistically, the real power from conjure animals comes from the "summon a horde of beasts" aspect of it. Without that, most choices are going to be pretty underwhelming. If you're looking to avoid the "swarm" aspect of it, I'd probably just go with single cr2 creatures, like giant crayfish, polar bear, or giant elk
Thank you so much! I haven’t yet encountered jumping, but I am running a small one shot for my 9yo son and his friend and I wanted to add in some obstacles that used something I haven’t done yet.
Mostly correct, but note that your high jump distance is also halved if you don’t move at least 10 ft first. So in your 8 STR high jump example it would be 2 ft if you move 10 ft first, or only 1 ft otherwise.
Personally I despised the amount of character artist advertising that goes on on Reddit’s DnD community. In absence of any way of filtering such things out of my feed on Lemmy, I’ll likely just unsub from any community where that sort of thing becomes the norm.
Personally I don’t see it as a problem when someone posts some art they did (commissioned or otherwise) that has D&D relevance, and in the body of the post mentions “I am taking commissions, DM me for details” or whatever. However, it becomes a problem when they’re posting everything they make, and it’s clear the intention is to fish for sales, not to show off some neat, topical art. It’s very hard to draw up hard and fast rules for this, and I think everyone would have a different idea of what’s ‘too much’.
I think the rules laid out in #1 are pretty straight forward, no spamming the comments, no replying to every comment with your link. Just a single link in the body content of your post. I would expect any DM spamming to also be reported as that’s just rude.
Frankly I just am not interested in people’s character art. To me that is very distantly related to ttrpgs. I join a community like this to discuss what people are actually doing in their games, not to see a bunch of drawings.
Would things like watermarks be considered as “usable and not excessively downgraded state”? I don’t create any OC and am new to the hobby, but that at least seems like a half-decent way for artists to have their stuff available but not in “perfect” condition.
Seems perfectly allowable to me, what we mean by downgraded is someone posting a battlemap in absolute dog shit resolution, just to be able to post a link to their paid version at full quality. To me that would just be a trash post and shouldn’t be here.
