Many newcomers to the game and to r/DnD can find answers there. Note that these links may not work on mobile apps, so you may need to briefly browse the subreddit directly through Reddit.com.

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.

Happened in my game last night. I got killed by a lich casting power word kill. A few rounds later when the lich was dispatched the paladin attempted to cast revivify on my corpse, and the lich's henchman counterspelled it.

The other players were a little surprised, as was I.

Then the henchman dimension doored away, and the paladin cast it successfully, but at the tune of my last diamonds (I am the party's Cleric).

Resources are scarce in the campaign, so having to burn two diamonds to bring a player back to life is painful.

I've never experienced such a thing.

Just wondering if any of you have ever had this happen to you before or experienced it at one of your tables?

*Edited for typo.

**This is 5e not 5.5 sorry I did not specify this when I first posted.

***I was killed in a surprise round, so no initiative roll

Howdy folks!

So the Makeship campaign for the Trevor and Grogna plushies have both reached 200 units, meaning that they will be entering production and ship out in early December! Congratulations to everyone that pre-ordered so far, and to me because I get a bit of money, which goes toward supporting my dumbass decision to abandon my Law career for the life of a struggling (relative to my previous work in government service) artist!

Reminder that the plushies can still be pre-ordered until Tuesday BUT they are limited edition, once the campaign ends, yer out of luck!

That's it for now!

Stay excellent out there! Peace and carrots

I've seen a couple of youtube videos about clerics that mention offhand that after wisdom, you should sink points into your constitution score. Yet I've seen videos on youtube also talking about how it's not all that helpful to have a high constitution score because it won't help your hit points all that much unless you max it out and it's not something you typlically have to roll against. (at least this is what my understanding of what they were saying.)

Can anyone explain why this is recommended?

Edit: I appreciate the overwhelming response that this was totally a dumb question or dumb thing to consider 😂 thanks guys, my Cleric will not neglect their con ability and I’m sure my party will appreciate this fact. 🥲

We play as a rogue, wizard, sorcerer, and barbarian team
When we’re out of combat, I am able to do basic intelligence checks and even study the enemies mid combat, but that’s really about it.
The source are on the other hand, has the ability to cast stronger spells with the meta magic. I feel like in general their spells are always doing more than mine. Despite the fact that we have around the same power spells, it’s just the meta-magic that makes a difference
And they had the ability to talk to anyone.
It gets to the point where if I have a good idea, I have to message it to the source for so he could say it because I have a minus to charisma.

I’ve never played a wizard before so I may be doing it wrong and the DM will allow me to respec somewhat if we have an issue with our character

This is a dice tower I designed and built in 2022. It was originally made for my D&D group and the Lego D&D contest, but I didn’t finish it in time for the contest, and my group also fell apart before I could build it, so I never really used it much.

The dice go from the slide on the top of the tower and follow the steps all the way down and out the door. The little windows on the side follow the path of the dice.

This argument came between me and my friends to a buildup between a dnd session, and now I am asking you now.

What full caster is best, all round.
This includes in and out of combat, versatility, spell slots, spells themselves, and other class features in the 2024 edition.

Settlers this once and for all so my friends don’t have to argue about this again.

5 months ago, my DND club decided to work together to make 400 different curses and the thread I made for it got over 1000 comments. Now, we are back with 100 new curses, an updated curse document, and a request for you to give me a number 401-500 (This includes 500. If it is a decimal or a fraction I will round to the nearest whole number)

asking this cause i have a mind flayer friendly npc and wanted to know if a colony could just go by and take him back, and if there's a way to prevent it from happening

I've played dnd for a while now, but I struggle a lot with roleplaying.

I don't need advice like "just think what your character would do", it doesn't help because I overthink. And I don't know how to improvise and I suck with imagination because of my literal thinking. And I struggle with words overall even tho I know what to say and do.

So give your, maybe stupid, tips to improve your roleplaying.
