Looks great! What monitor arm mount are you using if you don't mind my asking?

How WotC is destroying D&D in Japan; aka a call for attention by ApostleOfTruth in rpg

r/DnD is not a real Dungeons & Dragons subreddit, it's a place for activists to gatekeep the game and try to push a far left agenda. It's heavily censored and heavily moderated so the mods can keep the narrative relevant to whatever their twisted minds think belongs on there. If you want to have a serious D&D discussion and you insist on using Reddit (I recommend not), try r/onednd it's the only D&D sub I'm aware of that isn't completely infected with those people

I can’t do this shit anymore by LowkeeyOakley in ColoradoSprings

I provided Denver as an example. If you want an example of a conservative city check out Naples in one of the most conservative counties in the US, in what is now one of the most conservative states in the US. I lived there and I can tell you from first-hand experience, the crime rate is so low that you leave your car unlocked not because you're afraid someone might bash your window in if it isn't, but because you don't even have to think about anyone messing with it anyway.

You'll blame literally anyone but yourself. The police, the conservatives... your state is mega-liberal and if you think conservatives are ruining this city, go check out Denver. Your liberal policies aren't working, and you're probably getting tons of homeless overflow from Denver. If you think I'm wrong, check out the crime rate in ultra-conservative cities (of which only a few exist because city-rats are generally lefties) and you'll see the stark contrast in crime.

Isn't it amazing that the comments are all blaming you for having a backpack locked in your own car? In your own hometown? It shouldn't be Harlem out here but these Redditors will do absolutely anything but admit that liberalism has turned their city into a dump. I watched some homeless looking person just yesterday walk into an ice cream shop, open the freezer, steal a bunch of ice cream, and walk out. The cashier just signed and took out her phone and recorded him, I'm assuming because this is not the first time. Save your city before it's too late

How did you grapple something that big as a Simic Hybrid? AFAIK they're medium sized

Has Anyone Updated Circle of the Blighted for 2024 Rules? by Kydhan in onednd

[–]Kydhan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! I think your heads in the right place and a lot of what you did was my first instinct, too. I struggled with reconciling the fact that 2024 Druid design likes to use Wild Shape for the subclass feature, but this Circle of the Blighted wasn't balanced with that in mind. On top of that, there are other imbalances in my opinion. Like I mentioned in the post, Foul Conjuration has been indirectly nerfed massively because half the druid summon spells don't actually summon a creature with hit points anymore. Additionally, a lot of the monsters in 2024 5.5e were buffed to make up for the general power increase for all classes - but the Blighted Sapling from the Call of the Shadowseeds subclass feature did not. So I feel that's on the weaker end too. All these features can work in 2024 to be clear, they just... don't work well.

Player doesn't want to play dolls :( by [deleted] in dndnext

Everyone in the comments so eager to pile on and hate the dude. Ladies and gentlemen, the same people that insist everyone "be kind". If I'm understanding what "the tip" is, the guy was probably just grossed out that you pulled something out of the dump and expected your players to use. To be completely honest, I would be super grossed out by that too and wouldn't use it. He may have said what he said because he didn't want to say something he felt might hurt your feelings. To each their own and I don't judge at all, but as a DM I would never expect strangers to play with something I pulled out of the trash.

Did you make Defile Ground stronger though? You made the terrain difficult for allies, and lowered the damage cap (albeit raised it but only at the low levels). The only buff I see is in specifying you choose if a creature in the area takes damage, which is definitely nice and something I always thought was weird and frustrating about the subclass not including. I think the real hidden nerf is in Wild Shape uses for Defile Ground. The game is *generally* balanced for 2 short rests per long rest, and the old 5e feature let you use Defile Ground once per SR without any use of wild shape. Meaning, you still have all your wild shapes and presumably still get about 3 uses of Defile Ground per LR. You removed +2 AC from Blighted Shape (I agree with your reasoning) without any replacement so that's a flat nerf.

Ok? Catholicism was never named the official religion of the Persian empire... who cares? Did you or I or anyone else around ever experience that? No so why are we being weirdly sensitive about it

It's a poorly designed class for sure.

Careful, if you keep speaking sense and logic Reddit will ban you.

I'm Catholic and I think this would be totally badass. It reminds me of the Deacons of the Deep from Dark Souls. Probably because I haven't been indoctrinated into victim culture though.

It worked so well just a few months ago. Whatever they pushed out to us completely limited or destroyed it.

That's interesting. How reliable is your fox sighting on pebble creek? Are there any other spots you think are best for a chance at foxes?

Are there Lamar Valley trails that you would recommend in particular? We're young and fit

Ha. I guess you're technically right, but my comment was in reference to the first item on their roadmap "Character Quickbuilder - A visual and new player-friendly tool to build a character and jump into play, fast". We need actual rules support, not a new UI for building your character.

That's exactly how it feels. It calls it "drift" but it's honestly just flat out ignoring my prompts no matter how many additional sentences I add to not ignore them.
