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.

Monster Hunter Camp Charakter:

Dina is a satyr paladin. She grew up in a tribe composed of satyrs and minotaurs; since her parents were a satyr and a minotaur, she is quite tall and sturdily built.

The tribe lives right next to a massive tree, from which they craft their armor and weapons taking only what nature can provide, as they place great importance on the balance between civilization and the natural world.

Hunting plays a central role in their culture, though they hunt solely for survival rather than sport. To mark significant milestones, warriors tie bands with various meanings onto their weapons.

Dina discovered her connection to nature and to the tree itself at an early age, leading her to become a paladin dedicated to preserving the natural order of the world.

She set out to assist inexperienced travelers, who often endanger themselves through their ignorance of nature. Many wander aimlessly and provoke animals, resulting in the deaths of both beasts and humans.

She is always prepared for any situation, carrying an endless supply of gear ranging from tents and torches to various kits and supplies.

She has now joined the Hunters, believing there may be ways to pacify creatures other than simply killing them; however, should a creature threaten the natural order, she is fully prepared to slay it.

Hello! Recently joined a game, and we were discussing the house rules! One of the rules however is rather… Interesting? And I sort of wanna hear opinions about it!

DM rolls to attack like normal, however! He does max damage. Straight up, if it’s a 1d8 attack, it’s 8HP worth of damage. If it’s 10d8+10, it’s 90HP worth of damage. In addition, for crits, it’s double dice like normal—meaning if DM crits on a player, it’s full dice damage plus modifiers. Twice.

To “counter” this, as he says, we are given max HP…! Everyone sort of jokingly went “haha… we’re so fucked huh”…! This isn’t to shit on DM or anything, but just wanna hear D&D Reddit’s opinion!

Edit to add: There are no other homebrew rules that affect damage, AC, or anything like that! At most, there’s a new ability every person has access to “Burn The Edge of Your Soul”, where you can automatically get the benefits of a Long Rest, but permanently lose a Hit Dice! Players do not get max damage, nor max HP from healing spells, potions, or Hit Dice during short rests!

Hey everyone!

I’ve created a new 20x20 battlemap for a very strange and chaotic forest clearing. Your players stumble upon a massive, recently uprooted tree featuring a huge bird's nest woven right into its complex root system. But that's just the beginning of the mystery: right at the foot of the trunk lies a dead, bleeding bear, and not far away, a wild boar has met a similar gruesome fate. There are also two cave entrances nearby and some very bizarre tracks (a mix of wildcat paws and... duck footprints).

What on earth happened here?

First time playing a Warlock and mistakes were made at lower levels. Initially I was going to go the Fiend route, but to help the only front liner in the party, I went with Hexblade. I didn't take a level of fighter so my damage output and AC suffers. In fact, up until 5th level, I was doing weak damage and dropping constantly from a low AC.

Right before 5th level, I acquired a Sentinel Shield and breastplate, bringing my AC to 18. Not great but doable. I also carry two +1 longswords since no other party members use long swords. My Eldritch Invocations are Lessons of the Old Ones for Toughness, Thirsting Blade, Devil's Sight, Agonizing Blast to Eldritch Blast, and Fiendish Vigor.

I know the downfalls with the darkness spell and my party, and I'm respectful and try and stay out of their way. The DM is using the disadvantage cancellation rule, so the party doesn't hide in my shadow but can attack any enemy within my darkness spell. Just a normal attack, though. The party also likes me messing with enemy wizards and blocking ranged attackers.

My DM is tired of not being able to hit me, though. The last fight we had there were three enemies surrounding me within the darkness spell, and they were getting a combined 10 attacks on me per round. With disadvantage, they were rarely hitting me, and with having War Caster feat, couldn't knock my concentration off. Meanwhile between the booming blade, thirsting blade, and getting advantage, I was finally doing some respectable damage. One even tried leaving and I critted the booming blade opportunity attack, and killed him.

I know the DM can give more wizards dispel magic spells, or enemies blindsight, but what other options do I have besides spamming darkness spells to keep my damage output up while keeping me from taking a lot of damage. I could use blur for defense but to get advantage I'd have to flank with the Barbarian. None of my other spells, or abilities, including hex or Hexblade's Curse seem as useful as the darkness spell and either fighting melee or using Eldritch Blast for range.

Any suggestions?

Here’s my newest OC, Zafira! She’s a Level 5 Divination Wizard who works as a scholarly mystery-solver and arcane detective in our campaign. I really wanted to give her a heavy celestial vibe with the starry waist-chain, jewelry, and just a cool overall aesthetic. Her big puff sleeves are definitely my absolute favorite part of the design. In-game, she uses her magic to decode the structural history of ancient ruins. Hope you guys like her! Would love to hear what you think of her ✨

I will definitely be drawing more of her later on, as her character will also be evolving. She’s so dear to me argh 🥲

My youngester asked what Dungeon and Dragons was last night. He spent the day with his mum at a minis painting workshop where he learned about war hammer and won a Red Wizzard lego character. I explained that their is a DM who tells a story and there are players who are in the story that can decide what their character does. He didnt really understand at first.

You walk into a shop where you are met by an old Dwarf with a long grey beard.

"Hello young lad how can i help you this fine day? Possibly with a sword or a bow and arrow maybe a crossbow?"

He lit up and askd about the crossbow and bought it.

You start walking through a forest on the outskirts of town. You hear a snoring sound up ahead. The sun is going down but you can see small amount of fire shooting out something that looks like a nose. As you get a bit closer you see a shape that looks like a baby dragon. You know that red dragons and gold dragons can breath fire.

Rather than shoot at it with his crossbow or stealth around it. He decided to go back to town to see if he can find something to get a better look at the dragon. Je asked if he could by something online... which i explained there is no internet or electricity or phones. He asked how do you call someone. I said maybe with magic. He asked about the red wizard.

Well the Red Wizard lives in a black tower in the middle of the forest. He also learned that there was a mine the other side of town where the dwarfs had red eyes and maybe the Red Wizard has something to do with it. It was bed time so his character. Exploring Man went to his room at the Crazy Trumpet inn.

First thing he asked me was when can we play again 💜

Got these wet-erase tokens on a whim.
I've really grown to love them. They are great for monsters, spell effects, terrain features, or status tags.
As much as 3D figures and terrain are fun, my players never struggle to see past the giant spider or the stone wall when they are as flat as the map, the battlefield is always easy to make out.
Currently prepping for a Kuo-Toa incursion, and I've had a blast making my crappy little tokens XD
I would highly recommend these tokens, or any wet-erase tokens to my fellow GMS.
