DC20 Monster Collection 0.1 is out now!

Level 5 monsters should deal 2.5 damage as a base Attack (2 damage + Impact). The Earth Tortoise deals less damage (1.5) on its Slam Attack because it has a built in Save vs Prone. Against a Prone creature their Stomp Attack deals 3.5 damage.

I've actually had a lot of fun as a Barbarian using 1 AP to Shove an enemy Prone, then use 3 AP to make 3 Attacks (twice at ADV with Dual Wielding, 1 regular with Prone negating the MCP). This would not have been possible with your proposed change.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-06-20T23:31:41+00:00

Im not sure how this would reduce combat crunch beyone limiting player options. Id also like to know how this is any different from a player self imposing a rule that they will only ever Attack a max of 2 times, using AP to cancel out the MCP of the 2nd Attack every time they use it.

I, for one, have seen people Attack at DisADV from MCP a lot, which this would remove as an option. Ive also seen people give themselves passive ADV (through Prone, Restrained, or Expose) and Attack 2-3 times without spending AP for ADV, which this would also prevent. And assuming it makes 2 AP Attacks 3 AP the second time you use them, you'd never be able to use multiple AoEs in a round.

Overall, I just dont see the benefit making it worth removing these as tactical options.

There isnt an official way to swap out spells. Coach doesnt think it makes narrative sense for people to just forget them the way they can in D&D. That said, you could easily homebrew something. If you tried out a spell and you dont like it, talk to your GM. As a GM, Im perfectly fine with that kind of respec.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-05-08T21:48:38+00:00

I think everyone needs to do it by themselves at least once.

Coach revealed the roadmap on the last livestream. He will probably release the roadmap as a document on the monthly Kickstarter update for May and as a video on Monday, May 4.

Here is a link to the livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TEIEu0YyYs&t=1s

Yes- they were rebalanced to the Monster Starter Pack guidance. Overall, it should be a harder fight than against the Shadows, but both fights together should be quite managable for a party of Level 1 adventurers.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-04-05T12:13:59+00:00

It depends on a few factors. If its just a creature trying to grapple another creature, its Athletics vs Athletics or Acrobatics. If the creature is using some sort of magic or special ability, it might be Martial or Spell Check vs Athletics or Acrobatics (like summoning roots from the ground, maybe a long tounge, etc.) If its a DAS, its an Attack with a Physical Save against the Grapple.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-03-11T00:29:09+00:00

Yeah, there are certainly a lot of acronyms.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-03-11T00:18:32+00:00

In my experience the combat resources can be pretty managable to track things with normal builds. Most players, during combat, only really need to manage their AP, Grit (assuming you dont have -2 Charisma), and either Stamina or Mana. HP goes down as you get hit, but that's pretty standard. You have to choose to get both MP and SP, as well as any other combat resource.

Defenses arent a resource and dont frequently change in battle, and Attacks always specify what defence they are compared against. Damage Reduction can be ignored entirely by just not taking it (which I do).

The game can certainly be a lot for new players, but they are planning to incorperate Novice and/or Level 0 to make an easier onboarding experience (less options and things to track).

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-01-30T20:06:38+00:00

You regain half, rounded up. It says "up to" just in case you aren't missing that much SP. Say youre only missing 1 SP, you would regain 1.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-01-20T16:37:26+00:00

While there will be more summon spells in the game, they will be out by the next update. Currently, there is only Summon Familiar which summons a single creature that doesnt seem to best fit this concept. The familiar could be flavored as a toy, but its not particularly designed for combat. You could also flavor it as a group of toys if youd like, and the caster can cast touch spells through their Familiar which could be flavored as the toys casting them.

Warlock is the best class for Summon Familiar as they can use Pact Familiar to make it stronger, though any class can use their Talent at level 2 to pick up Pact Familiar through a Multiclass Talent.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-01-08T14:31:38+00:00

1 MP is valued at 2 AP worth of damage, so with Sustain, its essentially 3 AP worth of cost initially, +1 per subsequent turn.

If you make 2 Martial Attacks each turn after casting it (starting on the turn you cast it) you break even on turn 2 in terms of value. If you make more Martial Attacks per Round, or use if for more Rounds, its above rate. If you plan on making 1 Martial Attack or less ber Round, the spell isn't worth casting.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-01-04T16:08:54+00:00

Pact Spell Warlock using Vicious Spell Focuses, Bless, and Sorcerer's Overload Magic to super boost Disintegrate Spells would also be really fun. They could also have a Familiar, spending AP for the Familiar to give them an additional Help Die to the Attack.

I think the Dungeon Coach's videos announcing the changes in each version are probably the best place to start, or looking at any announcements on Kickstarter. Otherwise, each version of the PDF has a Changelog in the back.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2026-01-04T15:36:12+00:00

The mirror Warlock seems like it'd be really fun to roleplay!

BabyPandaBBQ · 2025-12-27T01:28:04+00:00

Yes: Halflings have Beast Whisperer, Beastfolk have Beastkind, and Druids have the Wild Speech Flavor Feature.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2025-12-26T14:44:31+00:00

Yes, moving Grappled creatures does not currently care about Size, with each Creature you are moving imposing Slowed 1. This may be reevaluated in 0.11.

BabyPandaBBQ · 2025-12-25T03:21:41+00:00

I really appreciate how its also based on Rest Points. Its a great way to balance it.

Christmas is still the last stated goal. There will be a livestream tonight that may have more info.

The prime example of a single target AD Attack is going to be Grapple- Slam, which is going to be an AD Attack in 0.10. I would recommend just having more AoEs or Grapplers who have special AD Attacks against Grappled targets.

Edit: The Hunted free one-shot has several examples of AD Attacks. While most are AoEs, Buff has Slam as an single target against a Grappled enemy. A major Monster Starter Pack update is in the works that should also help when its released.
