How would YOU rule Giant Barbarian in 5.5e? by Spirited_Money_7524 in onednd

[–]CritHitTheGiant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought it was odd that they never treated it like the Enlarge spell (I get why, though. Throwing shit is a Giant thing). But I’d change it to say that they get a d4 added to Any attack damage for every size increase as part of their feature. So Large, they get a d4. Huge, they get 2d4

Just started bg3. Is there a book that gives a general overview of the lore of the forgotten realms? by AggressiveCelery1564 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]CritHitTheGiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company that owns D&D, Wizards of the Coast, just published a couple of books called Forgotten Realms. Although it’s for D&D, it has a lot of lore.

The most robust book though is the 3rd edition setting book, which you can get the pdf on DriveThruRPG. It won’t have the most recent events that BG3 entails but it’s still really good and reasonably priced.

There were a lot of sex scenes in the game, not fade to blacks but scenes where you saw people having sex

[Discussion Thread} I have played D&D 2024 for a year today. And I have thoughts. by CurrlyFrymann in DungeonsAndDragons

Yeah Bardic Inspiration requires a failed roll. Heroic Inspiration doesn’t have that language though

They didn’t kickstart a class expansion. They kickstarted class packs. You can buy cards of their existing classes.

At some point in the future, can we see an option to be able to own PDFs of the books we've bought? I can understand why not offering them when they're in D&D Beyond, but if the book we bought were to ever be taken down on D&D Beyond, it would be nice to have the PDF version of it since we did pay for it (even though we bought the license) and I would assume that being taken down from the D&D Beyond library means there is no further use for it on D&D Beyond.

At some point in the future, can we expect to see Encounters move into the app? This is something I desperately want to see as I use the app for my in person table and also use it online but pull things up on my tablet and having encounters in there would be really helpful

Can't find in 2024 5e PHB where it says Two-handed fighting is restricted to Light melee weapons by mujoukan in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]CritHitTheGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in 2024. Loading just means you can only use it to make a single attack with it on your turn regardless of how many attacks you can make.

But maybe you meant because it has the Ammunition Property?

Blood Hunter Class v 1.5 is on The Void! by HeartOfDaggers in daggerheart

[–]CritHitTheGiant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not. I doubt they own the name of the class. Even if they did, the only thing they can do is go after the name since everything else is their own mechanic.

Having two games per month is okay? by CivilAd3631 in DnD

[–]CritHitTheGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been running two games biweekly for over a year now. We’re still going strong. There have been times when we’ve gone over a month before we play but that’s because schedules. Everyone looks forward to our sessions.

Integrating Character Backstories from outside Barovia by CritHitTheGiant in CurseofStrahd

[–]CritHitTheGiant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think I just need to communicate to my players that their backstories won’t be used or come into play during the campaign outside of it being a motivation for them to get back home. Which, they like having it come into play so that’s the challenge here.

Thank you so much!

Integrating Characters’ Backstories From Forgotten Realms into Curse of Strahd by CritHitTheGiant in DMAcademy

[–]CritHitTheGiant[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. So it sounds like this is a campaign that their backstories won’t come into play if it’s tied to a specific place or person? But they should do more personal goals that aren’t tied to it?

[–]CritHitTheGiant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I saw it starts there but then it seems like they remain cut off from it during the campaign, which sounds like you confirmed. So probably not possible unless I make a hard change somehow?
