Also, should say Dazed condition not Dazed action. My bad there.

You could use the Dazed condition from the UA playtests instead - able to move or use an action but not both, and can’t use a bonus action or reaction.

My Phandbox. So, a mashup of LMoP and Dragon of Icespire Peak. Might continue on to the Shattered Obelisk and/or the Icespire Peak sequels, but not sure about that, as they would definitely require more work to fix in my opinion. I might instead try taking Matt Coleville’s advice and just doing...

Personally, I prefer to embrace the historical misconceptions. Whales being mammals (for example) only really makes sense in the context of a taxonomic system based on evolutionary branches from a common ancestor, and a world where gods can just create new species from whole cloth kind of puts a...

I’m not super likely to employ a level cap in 5e, but the stunned 5 on dropping to 0 HP is an awesome idea!

I'd just give composite bows the Finesse property so they can be used with the player's choice of Strength or Dexterity. This would probably be the most straightforward conversion, with the only potential issue being that it would allow strength-focused characters to have a long-range (as in...

I mean, I'm a fan of pregens, but most players I have introduced to the game are not. And regardless, those players will still eventually have to make their own character for the first time.

I feel pretty much the same way. I will say, the one benefit to subclasses coming at 3rd level is that it reduces the number of options you have to choose from during character creation, which can be overwhelming to new players. Like, if you’ve never played D&D before, having to choose not only...

I dunno, why do we need another guy that casts spells?

Lol oops!

Yeah, now that they’ve announced the revised rules are going into CC under SRD 5.2, I plan to refer to this ruleset as 5.2, since that’s the closest we’ll get to an official name for it. I’m sure most people are just going to continue calling it whatever they want to call it, and it’ll be as...

We don’t even know for sure if the bastion rules will make it into the 2024 core books, so no idea if they’ll be in the 5.2 SRD.

Oh, I am well aware lol.

Awesome news all around. Also, I’m gonna start calling the 2024 rules 5.2 now.
