I've really got to wonder what "Format you've never seen before" means. Do they mean "a format you've never seen before for a setting in 5th edition" (like a box set)? Do they mean "a format you've never seen before in D&D" (like an audio book or sumerian clay tablets?) Do they mean "a format you've never seen before in all of publishing" (like an over the air update to the vaccine nanomachines that downloads the book into your brain)? I mean, if it's Spelljammer or Planescape, I'll take any of those, but touting the format as never before seen does make me a touch nervous because it's not like Wizards have mastered the format they normally use to begin with.

Hey guys, Really quick, what are a couple of good feats that a 4th level Bard of Creation should consider taking? Friend of mine asked me for advice, but I've only splashed a little 5e and am a long way from the mastery that y'all possess. TIA!

Spelljammer seems likely to me, and I'll be tickled pink if they put in Dark Sun, Planescape seems really unlikely.

Pussy Quipped posted:Spelljammer 5E please. I'm playing in a Spelljammer campaign right now and it rocks but it feels rather quaint, in that so much of it involves factions grouped together almost solely by race. I'd imagine a version updated for 5e would look quite different, with multiracial factions controlling the various towers instead of one race per tower and a power structure other than a city council where every race gets one vote.

Racial towers? I thought Spelljammer was the setting where magic sailing ships fly between different worlds

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Hey guys, Don't want to be a unfun advice giver, but Unfortunately for level 4 it's usually ability score increase in their attack stat by +2. Because the game doesn't have partial partial successes in combat (either you hit or your don't!), hitting (and thus being accurate) is very important. 5e doesn't really have a warlord-esque "everyone else is my weapon, I never need to attack class," so I think your bard player still rolls d20s. Unless they rolled super poo poo hot for stats (and who rolls stats these days!?!), there's no way they have a 20 in their attack stat (probably CHA in this case).

If you have a high cha score, inspiring leader is very good imo. That temp hp adds up at level 4

overall yes, that's what the setting is about, but the Spelljammer itself is a giant ship, a city built atop a great flying manta ray and the buildings in the city are occupied by different races that constantly quarrel with one another, and that's where my current campaign has taken our troupe

Fey Touched provides +1 to your casting stat in addition to the other benefits so if your stat is odd to begin with, you'll get the same benefit to all your rolls as well as Misty Step and another spell of your choice

Reveilled posted:I've really got to wonder what "Format you've never seen before" means. I'm convinced that there's a lot of room for cool stuff by making modules or setting books that are just a lightweight app, so you can bake some extremely easy cross-referencing and simple stat-tracking right into the 'rulebook'. I wonder if they might be going that route

Rutibex posted:They are bringing back Mystara First dnd book I ever got was Glantri: Kingdom of Magic. My parents had no idea it was part of D&D or needed other books to actually be able to play so I tried to sort out the 2nd Ed rules without any of the core rules, just the splatbook and included adventure. So things definitely were hard to parse for a young kid, and I'd love for Mystara to come back. Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Jun 16, 2021 |

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Hey guys, With College of Creation, you're probably not caring too much about improving your martial abilities. Resilient Constitution is good on any caster without a Con save, but it's better if you have an odd numbered con score. War caster also helps keep concentration, and lets you throw vicious mockery as an opportunity attack instead of a dagger. If you don't have an odd con score, this might be more useful. Feytouched is the best half feat which has a +Cha attached, so is a good choice if you have an odd charisma score (Telekinetic, Telepathic, Shadow touched, etc. fill the same kind of role- and are close enough in power that you can really just take the one you like the concept of most) Lucky is generically useful Eldritch Adept offers some really interesting options that mostly give utility. Misty visions, Mask of Many Faces and Devil Sight seem like especially good choices for a bard. Beast Speech and Eldritch Sight could also potentially be fun but a little more dependent on party comp and DM.

Undead Hippo posted:Resilient Constitution is good on any caster without a Con save, but it's better if you have an odd numbered con score. Completely in agreement with you, a bard should either buff their Cha or Buff their concentration. However, I will double down on saying that if the Bard is going for a half feat, Feytouched IS the answer. Fey Touched ends up being much much better than Telekinetic (this is true of a lot of Bards but Creation especially), the main reason being how often in combat the Creation Bard is using its bonus Action to inspire or attack with its animated pet. It will rarely have bonus actions available to leverage Telekinetic, but the occasional Misty Step IS still very useful (and that plus Gift of Alacrity is downright obscene) That being said, unless the Bard in question has an Odd charisma, they really need to focus on improving their concentration saves one way or another.

I've added sections to Satan Has His Miracles on feats and backgrounds and I'm wondering if I should re-order the PDF, right now it looks like this: Would it make more sense to go something like Backgrounds Classes Feats Ship Combat Rules Wars and Mass Combat Bestiary Items and Prices The World The Adventure Licences

Your core idea seems to be the setting, so I'd lead with that, then the rules in roughly "play order" -- character creation first, then in-game rules -- and finally the Big Lists of Stuff at the end. So something like: The World The Adventure Backgrounds Classes Feats Ship Combat Rules Wars and Mass Combat Items and Prices (if you consider this part of character creation, maybe put it earlier, below Feats) Bestiary Licenses

I'm a web-developer by trade, and needed to learn React recently at work and so I thought I'd try my hand at creating a tool for DMing in D&D. The very first version of which is available to demo here: Dungeon Master Campaign Manager It's intended to be a localhost site that a DM fires up for their session. Right now you can: * Document your Adventures/Campaigns. * Have interactive map notes that allow you to keep track of a map room by room as your players explore. * Turns your dice formulas (3d6) into clickable buttons that roll the dice for you. * Expandable NPC note sheet * A mega reference sheet. You can clone your own version of it at my Github Repo here if you want to tinker with it: DMCM Github repo

Based on that dumb survey with a threatening NDA that they put up a few days ago (before taking down) I'm now relatively convinced that "never seen before" actually means "on a virtual tabletop" despite that obviously being something all of us have seen before.

The main thing that killed me about the 4e realms was introducing the coolest faction (not necessarily evil undead nation that can travel in a magical space between graveyards and claims them as embassies) and then killed them off in a three novel series.

Post-tasha's, what race would people suggest for an arcane trickster / bladesinger character? Workshopping various backup characters in my head and I like the idea of AT/bs with telekinetic feat for a super-duper Mage Hand, jedi-esque character. Not sure what race would mesh best with it though.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Post-tasha's, what race would people suggest for an arcane trickster / bladesinger character? If you’re just min maxing, the answer is almost always custom lineage, or, if your DM is persnickety about elven accuracy, some flavor of half elf or elf. If you’re not min maxing, but can do the tasha’s stat reassignments, then just follow your heart and pick whatever is cool. I did a tortle warlock for a one shot a while back and it ruled.
