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.

In the campaign that I am wrapping up next week, for the past two years, the players have been having a running gag about which cleric gets to be the one to cast Guidance on other party members. Eventually, I casually told them, why not have both of you cast Guidance, and then the player rolling can roll two d4 and take whichever outcome they prefer.

Everyone thought this was a hilarious and great solution, and everyone started joking about how one cleric's diety favored players on this day or disliked that player, etc. Little do they know, I have been keeping a tally of whose die rolls they have been taking, who has been making fun of which god(s) etc.

They are meeting the whole pantheon next week before their fight with the BBEG. I cannot wait.

Marking this as 5e, but it applies to 5.5e as well.

One of the common refrains in the community is how martials are "resourceless", and that this gives them staying power throughout the adventuring day. In fact a common rebuttal to this is that they're not, because they have HP... but that's not what this post is about.

"Resourcelessness" in these arguments is coupled with being "reliably powerful", so to speak.

And I just wanted to point out - that's not true in the vast majority of cases.

Let me rephrase this issue in the form of an argument for "resourcelessness" to demonstrate my point.

"Spellcasters have a wide variety of powers a few times per day, while martials have a more narrow lost of powers that aren't limited by number of uses."

How many actual features and powers can we name that fit this description? Features or powers that are either always on, or can be used indefinitely?

Rogue has plenty, sure.

Monk has Diamond Soul at level 14 and unarmed bonus strikes.

Barbarian and Monk both have unarmored defense, but so do many spellcasters.

Fighter has... a fighting style.

...and all except Rogue get extra attack.

And this is really the only truly powerful "resourceless" power - extra attack. Anything else is really a drop in the ocean, not to mention spellcasters and half castera also getting similar features.

Meanwhile when it comes to powers that consume resources:

- Monks have Ki/Focus, which is basically their entire class.

- Barbarians have Rage, which is basically their entire class.

- Fighters have Action Surge, Second Wind, Indomitable, and most of their subclasses give limited resource powers.

The resource-based features far outweigh the resourceless ones.

If we want to pretend that martials are resourceless, they need to have stronger and more defining resourceless powers than "extra attack".

Conversely, if that's not supposed to be their identity, then their resources should be drastically expanded. Monk 2024 did that, and it made the class infinitely better.

Now, wanna see what a class with actually resourceless powers looks like? Look at Warlock. They literally do get infinite uses of a less varied subset of powers than spellcasters. And guess what? It works. And it's not overpowered.

So I don't see why "infinitely usable" powers are such a taboo when it comes to martials, or why we're supposed to be OK with their only claim to fame being "attacks twice".

I finally made some wolves Miniatures and I use the opportunity to create some riding legs, so i could make some mounted Goblins. With magnets I can switch the legs back to standing ^^

I have to stop with the magnets its a sickness at this point!

So far i went with more regular size wolves and some larger maybe boss type ( like the picture)

The Goblin is modular so i have to create different variation for the others^^

Hello everyone!

First of all, English isn't my first language, so this post may contain a few mistakes. (^_^)

I've recently started learning how to draw, using Tamlin123's guide as my main reference.

My first drawing was a kobold, and after following the same guide, I decided to try drawing a dragonborn.

This time it was a bit easier to get the body proportions right, but I'm still struggling with lighting and shadows. I did my best, though! (^_^)

Since the Sorcerer is my favorite class, I created Thimiel, a Psionic Sorcerer.

Hopefully I'll get the chance to play him someday and explore his personality a bit more.

I'd love to hear any feedback or advice.
Thanks for taking a look!

I was very proud of this artwork; I wanted to fulfill everyone's request at my table in the best way possible.

It was the first job, and I was very happy.

I apologize if my happiness seems inconvenient, But feeling that my work is evolving is very important to me.

I am grateful to have discovered this community and to be a part of it. The focus was on the Gnome's expression, on the fear he feels towards the dragon. The dragon's potential fire blast also gave the impression that it was about to be launched in the dwarf's direction.

My English is weak, sorry.

Deep in the guts of the dorian academy of invention a secret arcane laboratory was hiding the dungeon of the Chronomancer. A meddler who’d combined the three major sciences, Arcana, Alchemy, and Engineering to invent the world’s first time machine. But the unstable device send itself and everyone delving there into the far future. Pulsing on and off, sending the adventurers trying to stop it back and forth between a time of ruin and the present.

Fellow DMs, I got a question for you, to see how you manage this situations.

Sometimes in my table, a player describes a course of action they wants to make, for example:

-"I want to get close to the spacial distortion, look it at it and try to recognize if it is some kind of spell or magic"

-"Ok roll for investigation or arcana, each one are going to give you a different answer"

-*Rolls 5

*Other players -"I want to roll that too" (or sometimes they dont even ask, just roll it)

Generaly, when that happens I just say "Did I tell you to roll?" or "Well what specifically do you want to do?" and things like that. ¿How do you guys manage this situation? ¿Am I being bad or smth?
