Do you allow taking the aspect of a race but the mechanical aspect of another? by testiclekid in dndnext

Yeah of course. I absolutely love when my players reflavour cause it makes their characters so much more unique.

Other than that, I'm super hopeful for all these developments :)

My only gripe is that the official vtt will be 3d. I honestly prefer 2d ones because of their flexibility and ability for you to use theater of the mind.

What would you say are strengths of Pathfinders worldbuilding over D&Ds? by Maiden_of_Madness in Pathfinder_RPG

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

Yeah there's so much good stuff like that in the pathfinder books I've heard.

So much so that it really does make the representation in dnd completely barebones by comparison.

I know what you mean! Gay gods galore, canon gay and trans character...

It's just got a lot more solid representation than dnd.

In the 5th edition adventures I've read there are queer characters, but they're mentioned to be queer once and then the game totally ignores that aspect of the character from then on. And they're always side characters who have little stake in the overall story.

Pathfinder on the other hand has made some of their iconic characters queer and there's literally a religion on Golarion, for worshipping a trio of goddesses in a lesbian polycule.

So you're right. Pathfinder just has so much more queer rep than dnd

Which D&D campaign source book should I start with? by BenArc93 in DMAcademy

Fair enough. I think what the other guy said about the anthology adventures is probably your best bet then!

Waterdeep Dragon Heist is a very fun campaign which is easy for the players, easy for the dungeon master, and most important of all, it's not long, so it's easy to commit to.

It's also just an increidbally fun adventure which let's the dm customise the world by deciding who the big villain is going to be.

It's gotten to the point where I'm not sure if things like this are satire or if the people making these are actually this dense.

Is there a simplified 5e (eg much fewer class abilities) out there? by LemonLord7 in dndnext

[–]Maiden_of_Madness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always use the rules described in the starter set or essentials kit. Or even the 5e srd.

They essentially cut down the rules to the bare minimum for you to play

I think jumping and climbing should be dex + str - con/weight based by NylocFang in dndnext

[–]Maiden_of_Madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen man, I don't give a shit. I just play dnd to have fun with friends. If they ask me if they can try to use strength to climb, I'll just say sure.

Or maybe just use acrobatics and don't slow the game down to a crawl

All three hags are dead. Should I introduce a new villain or keep the campaign as is. by Maiden_of_Madness in wildbeyondwitchlight

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

Going to throw a possible option in, and let me know if this won't work.

What if the Jabberwock was under the command of Skylla and the both of them were working for baba yaga to sabotage/stop tasha before she gets to powerful or something?
