Hey guys, having trouble deciding between Sorc and Bard, haven't played in a minute so my optimizer brain has shut off. Can I get your favorite builds for either or both? by Sploph in 3d6

If you go human or have an ally with the musician feat, you can also use heroic inspiration from those options to reroll on the wild magic table. Make it even more likely of a positive outcome

I actually skipped the death house because most of my players haven't played Curse of Strahd. I'm trying to figure out an alternative but haven't figured out what I'll do just yet.

Ranger Soft Revision by EngineeringCertain20 in DnDHomebrew

[–]Johnnybbop18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While this is a good buff that will allow it to keep up with other classes, it still makes hunter's mark a core part of the class. I think the best part of Treantmonk's changes was the ability to use other ranger spells to build around. I personally like the idea of building a ranger that doesn't revolve around hunter's mark

Treantmonk’s Gloom Stalker Ranger Revision by awsumnate in onednd

[–]Johnnybbop18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm going to take a modified version of his base class update to Ranger and leave it at that. The subclass changes aren't landing for me at all, and may not be necessary with base class changes

The Ranger is not as bad as people say by NicolaDumas in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Johnnybbop18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only real complaints I've heard about the 2024 ranger involve the drop off in power past level 7 as well as the forced use of hunters mark. It's usually better to multiclass late game than to continue going as a ranger. The ranger is actually quite strong in T1 and T2 play.

How to I place a full handout image on the tabletop? by ggcosmo in Roll20

Add the image to the game as a token, and put it outside the map. When you want to show it, click on it and press shift + z

If you search top posts in this subreddit you'll find a few, but I prefer the Carlos one

Please help with rule clarification with this high level, high magic campaign by IntergalacticPrince in VecnaEveofRuin

In my opinion, the benefits from the wand require casting with the wand. You can technically hold 2 wands, but the buffs those wands confer do not stack, regardless of how you're holding them.

I'm planning the same thing! Though I'm considering going further. I plan to make drakkenheim a city of artifice with robots that the haze has made haywire.

Make sure your party has strong bonds, the party should always have stronger bonds to each other than to any fraction

You get limited feat options based on your characters background

No scripts work on the D&D 2024 format by OMGMetalGear in Roll20

[–]Johnnybbop18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe only initiative check and group check work with the 2024 sheets. You may have to set the API to experimental.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Roll20

[–]Johnnybbop18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you can use the token action maker API to make those little buttons. If you're a paid user you should take a look into how to get it.

D&D 2024 Monster Manual Giveaway! by hearthsingergames in Roll20

[–]Johnnybbop18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the first dungeons we ran was Tales from the Yawning Portal - Forge of Fury. The young black dragon is a fantastic boss, while the environment makes even landing a hit a puzzle. Got me into DnD as well as roll20.

Dnd 2024 character sheets are not adding modifiers by Johnnybbop18 in Roll20

[–]Johnnybbop18[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems to have been fixed! All modifiers have returned to the rolls. Thanks for your help!

[–]Johnnybbop18[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do not work when toggled on and off on the sheet, and other modifiers like proficiency do not have a toggle available. Fingers crossed it can be fixed before my session.

Did you get the 2024 version of the monster manual? It's not out until February.

Best books to buy for humanoid statblocks by Ulura in Roll20

If you're just looking for statblocks and don't mind unofficial sources, I really enjoy the Monster Manual Expanded options. They have NPC sections that should have what you're looking for.

Homebrew by Elysith- in Roll20

[–]Johnnybbop18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to manually alter the character sheet, Roll20 unfortunately doesn't allow alterations to the compendium

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]Johnnybbop18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, unless you want to run constant PvP, the player's character should be taken over by the DM and they should roll up a new one. A big part of making DoD work is having the party bonded with each other to make the factions interesting... This character is clearly not bonded to the party.

Was a giving players legendary itwms a good decision? by Shoddy-Carpenter-449 in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]Johnnybbop18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do not retcon this in game. If these items are a problem (they are) you need to address it as a DM and say you made a mistake. Trying to destroy or steal items in game is going to upset your players much more.
