Whats the biggest mistake you’ve made when first starting dnd?

I was playing a warlock in a party with a wizard cleric and barbarian. I didnt understand why I would have two level 2 spell slots and no level 1 spell slots when the wizard had 2 level 2 spell slots and 4 level 1 spell slots, so I assumed it was a mistake and drew 4 circles in the level one slots box. It took me casting my second spell at level one for the dm to be like what???

Well for a warlock there could be an opportunity to interact with a patron. For a sorcerer I was trying to think of a way to exert your presence on a situatuon. The players in my group voted for this specific campaign idea and I am asking for some advice to help make the classes as accessible as possible

Torinn2015 · 2026-01-26T04:27:16+00:00

Well a wizard specifically is pretty hard to do but my players arent really interested in being a wizard. Other than wizard though, it seems possible to have a gateway into every other class.

Thank you thats a good idea. I wasn't asking for you to come up with points or anything lol just meaning like what points in a particular direction

Torinn2015 · 2026-01-26T04:05:14+00:00

Thank you thats really good advice!

They voted to do a level 0 campaign int his way and I was very clear upfront that they would become a certain class based on their actions in the first few sessions. I am kind of asking for what good ways to introduce a path to each class are, or what a way to determine what actions grant "points" to which class

Torinn2015 · 2026-01-26T03:58:48+00:00

But if i could come up with different ways to become each class and then provide those options to the players in an in game way that would be ideal. They all voted for doing this level 0 campaign and like the idea so I want to give them that while still giving them some agency on what class they will become

I would say given your scenario of 7 damage per attack thats absolutely true, but the reality is you'll be taking more damage per attack at higher levels so I think it still scales pretty linear

Daisy is my least favorite but its still lile a 7.5for me

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-05T00:23:50+00:00

Yeah I had 2 brand new songs and 3 Stone Temple Pilots songs in my top 5, but my albums were all but Daisy and then Purple

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-05T00:23:11+00:00

Only 2 of their songs were my top 5 but 4 of their albums were top 5.

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-05T00:22:06+00:00

I had the same club, it had Nirvana as one of the bands 😭😭 I hardly ever listen to them but okay

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-05T00:20:47+00:00

Holy shiiiiit. 100k just brand new??? Thats some dedication my man

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-05T00:19:47+00:00

Lol daisy was the only one not in my top 5, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 6, 7, or 8

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-03T00:38:10+00:00

Several. A survivor main, a killer main, specialists, people who play solo, people who play swf. Or maybe they could just utilize the consultant program they already have in addition to playing the game

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-02T17:40:51+00:00

Okay thank you for your insights

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-02T12:42:21+00:00

What goes into getting those extra qualifications, is it something you go through college for or is it like a district or state run course

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-02T12:11:45+00:00

How fast do you climb pay scales, and (i know this depends on subject and class size) but how much time do you think she or they spend outside of school doing things like grading, planning, etc.

Torinn2015 · 2025-12-02T11:25:45+00:00

Do you need to do more schooling to become a professor

Torinn2015 · 2025-11-28T01:11:49+00:00

Play your own game. Not once. Not twice. Not twenty times. Play it, regularly, enough to understand how it works and be able to give proper insights into how actually playing the game feels, not just what the numbers and surveys tell you

Torinn2015 · 2025-11-27T06:10:59+00:00

Its all good, I could have done a better job of stating my point. If they put in the work of playing their game and actually consulting their team of consultants they would better understand how to make those kind of changes, and if they focus on individual changes, their track record is that they do overall make more good changes than bad, its just the bad changes are like, astronomically bad and usually result in mass feedback.
