Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

I need advice on how to balance player agency while also giving the nudge to say "hey, robbing shops is bad and there will be consequences." I have a rough draft of how the "heist" can go down, but just wanted some input on how to prep for this. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I am a player in a long campaign, after a year of playing we are currently in our 43rd session , we are level 7. I was just talking to my dm about how I’m excited for the next level up cause I’ll get a new subclass for my rouge level.

He told me to worry about that later cause we won’t be getting another level up until 36 more sessions…. I don’t think he’s joking.

I start doing the math. We meet once a week for on average 2 hours a session. That’s at least 72 hours of gameplay, 36 weeks or 8 months until our next level up to 8. That’s not even to take into account canceled weeks so it honestly might take close to a year. I like my campaign but wow more than half a year to get to level 8 is making me weirded out I really hope he’s joking

Is this normal?

The description for hexblade's curse from UA6 reads as follows:

*Your patron grants you the power to curse and hinder your foes. As a Bonus Action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself. The target is cursed for 1 minute, during which you gain the benefits below. The curse ends early if you use this feature again, if you dismiss it (no action required), or die.

Hungering Hex. When the target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse drops to 0 Hit Points, you regain Hit Points equal to 1d8 plus your Charisma modifier.*

Assuming you can choose yourself, which isn't too much of a stretch as you are always going to be a creature within 30 feet of yourself, consider what happens if you fall to 0 hitpoints.

The description states that the curse ends only if you die, unlike the 2014 version that says it also ends if you are incapacitated. So it's reasonable to assume that it would stay up.

It then also says when the target drops to 0 hitpoints you gain hitpoints equal to 1d8 plus your charisma mod. Again unlike 2014 where it specifically states the affected creature has to die for the hitpoints to be gained.

So does cursing yourself make this essentially say, when you drop to 0 hitpoints, heal for 1d8 + charisma modifier?

I know RAI definitely not but I'm not confident enough with the rules to be able to say if it works RAW. My bad if this has already been discussed, I could only find talk about the 2014 version. Thanks!

I recently made this ripoff homage to The Immortal Think Tank by /u/yoffeepop and she thought folks in this sub might appreciate it.

I normally make a week-daily comic about the little guy in the last panel. It’s called Butt Goblin. Butt Goblin lives in a modern city, but he does play D&D with his friends sometimes, and he also is friends with a wizard.

You might also be interested to know about the Kickstarter that Ché and I are currently a part of: Dazzling Dungeon Decks! You can get a total of 404 cards to pull during a game for a bit of emergency chaos whenever you need it. NPCs from The Immortal Think Tank, creatures from Swords Comic, items from My Dad Is Dracula, and goblins with big butts from me (I guess that’s my niche). I’ve seen early versions of the decks, and they’re so good.

There’s less than 24 hours left, so get in on it while you can!

Party are thinking up inventive/worst ways to kill BBEG’s sidekick (Mostly because he killed 2 of our parties first characters), one of the ideas I had was using a hombrew item we have that opens a portal to different planes, and punt him into the worst one I can think of. So far I’ve got The Positive Plane, Carceri, The Abyss, or Pandemonium. Any other suggestions?

Tokens I made for the Chains of Asmodeus campaign I'm playing right now, DMed by one of my friends. Our party turned out to be all heavily wild-west-religious-based, so it was truly a blessing to draw all characters in very similar aesthetics.

My character (the one on the lower right) is Martim, a gangster pyromancer who had to betray his gang but died while on the run. He is currently trying to leave Hell alongside the rest of the party, who were all down there trying to escort a powerful tome out of there as a demand of the Church.

I always love making tokens like these, so I hope you liked it as much as I did! 👻

After a fighter gets their 3rd attack at 11, does their damage output increase meaningfully before they get their 4th attack at 20?

If not, I wonder if you could multiclass into just any other class for urility/flavor/etc without much of an opportunity cost. (Maybe after taking the ASI at 12) I know most campaigns don't hit 20, but I think campaigns lasting until levels 14 or 15 aren't all that uncommon.

i love the first version, i feel like it's more authentic to velma and she's a wizard (can't tell her race cz she's insecure about and that's why she wears the mask)

the newer version i feel like the art is improved but it doesn't scream wizard ( my amazing friend drew these amazing art pieces and she doesn't know about dnd and i explained to her that a bow won't work but she forgot about it and drew the bow which is not a big deal, i am just explaining why a wizard holding a bow)

i am so grateful for my amazing friend but we can't decide which one is better so help us
