Can someone PM me. I am new to DND but am eager to learn as well as a few others in my town. I’ve been tinkering with the dnd app and a few others for some understanding and have been watching a lot of YouTube.

Read the free Basic Rules (at least the first four chapters on character creation).

I highly recommend you check out Critical Role's "Handbooker Helper" video tutorial series on Youtube.

Both are linked above.
After you read the rules and/or watch the tutorial videos, feel free to ask questions here.

Is there a channel for dungeon masters?

median fulcrum
#

many. just grab the role from the id:customize and you will see many

alpine pivot

I'm not trying to grab the role. I'm still learning the game but seeing it from both sides would be educational

Hello i am new to DnD can some one show me how to make a character ( best speaking my main language German)

slim torrent

Just create your fist character here, it will show you how to build a character

#

Hello, everyone. If I were playing at a board game cafe, do I have to print out my character sheet from dndbeyond or just a blank character sheet or I can just open it on my iPad?

merry rock
spark pumice
#

Ipad sounds ok to me

#

Also I wanna ask a question
Is it possible for me to make a dragon OC I made into a DND playable character?
Of course not as powerful as a DND dragon because that would be broken.

wild onyx
#

Try dragonborn. Dragons are really not a default option.

merry rock
midnight field
#

Thanks a lot, my guys

spark pumice
#

The idea is it functions and has similar stats to a dragonborn
But the design is like a
Nightwing from Wings of Fire

merry rock
spark pumice
#

At the moment I don't have one

#

But in your opinion would it be ok?

#

It's basically just a cosmetic choice + added flight action

echo kelp
#

I'd strongly suggest using an existing and balance race and work with your group and Dungeon Master to flavor it in what's appropriate.

#

This is also getting into homebrew if you're making up new races

spark pumice
#

Yeah probably

echo kelp
#

This channel is more for new to D&D folks get started with core rules and game mechanics

wild onyx
#

In my opinion? Not really, unless I was making a game specifically for that kind of thing. Start with the basic options, see what you can do.

spark pumice
#

Ok

#

How do I do a homebrew tho?

wild onyx
median fulcrum
#

true.. even if you think of dnd as an opprtunity for game dev. you still gotta know the "library" you are using.

lyric fjord
#

hello guys

#

i have a question

#

which class is the medic

median fulcrum
#

uh cleric usually. but other classes do have some abiltiy to heal. that's just the one that has the most options for it.

fleet field
#

Cleric gets the most healing spells, but there isn’t really the capacity to be a dedicated healer. It’s just not needed nor particularly useful.

narrow isle
#

Cleric subclass life

median fulcrum
#

Right true. clerics do have combat abilites. So the only reason you'd be only doing healing is because you made that a character choice

fleet field
#

Yeah, but even then it shouldn’t be always needed

lyric fjord
#

thank you guys, i want a mixed healing/magic character

fleet field
#

And you’ll easily be outpaced by damage

fleet field
lyric fjord
#

no like damage type

fleet field
#

Cleric is def what you want then

#

They get great damage spells like spirit guardians, and can heal

#

You could also go Druid. They get the basic healing spells, and some insane damage spells

#

Or divine soul sorcerer

lyric fjord
#

@fleet field thank you. (i dont know anything about game)

fleet field
#

It’s a sorcerer with the cleric spells as well

main fulcrum
#

It seemed like you were asking about Phandolin, which is a location in an official adventure

manic fossil
main fulcrum
#

If there are official maps, they should be in the kit. Otherwise, try the Internet I guess

#

To see if anyone has made something free.

#

Or just draw your own

manic fossil
main fulcrum
#

Are there smaller maps in the booklet where it describes the quests?

manic fossil
#

Yeah

main fulcrum
#

It doesn't come with full size maps for everything

median fulcrum
#

going out on a limb here.. but I am pretty sure almost all adventure modules have at least SOME maps. idk.

main fulcrum
#

Most books/modules expect you to take their map images and draw them out/recreate them for your players

#

Especially if you bought a physical copy

manic fossil
main fulcrum
#

Are you playing online or in person?

manic fossil
#

In person, I want to print out the maps

main fulcrum
#

In person, I'd usually just get some large grid paper or one of those reusable maps and draw them out myself. Printing with full size squares tends to get really big really fast

#

And there are some websites/software where you can make maps but which is best tends to depend on your budget. Dungeonscrawl is free I think, or you can just Google it to see if other people have made free maps you like.

echo kelp
#

#dnd-maps has some useful links and reosurces in the pinned messages for helping with making maps

Copying from other mods who've used it in the past 😉
Though I do think it would be helpful if all the new tags were listed in the #frequently-asked-questions channel, since it seems like there's a bunch of extra options

#

Or a pinned post here if that's easier

#

Any recommended pre-made adventures for 2 players + 1 dm—all beginners? I have the Lost Mine of Phandelver starter set but didn’t realize the adventure is made for 4–5 players. Perhaps I should just pick up the latest starter set (Dragons of Stormwreck Isle), which is still made for 4–5 but does mention being playable with 1–2 players as well. Or any tips on how to scale the LMoP adventure for a lower player count?

I’d like to play online with my adult son (who lives in another city) and whoever else I could recruit. Is D&D beyond my best bet?

echo kelp
#

Discord is your best bet - all you need is access to your D&D books, your players have their sheets (physical or digital), hook up Avra Discord bot on your Discord server for dice rolling, and you can have a game anywhere.

#

I like DnDBeyond for the digital access but it's just a tool

#

Find what works best for you and your group and use that.

frigid helm
#

If you want to show maps it gets a bit more involved but yeah discord for chat is your best bet.

#

DDB has maps now, but not sure how good that is yet, Owlbear rodeo is free and fairly simple to use to show a basic map

smoky adder
#

LMOP also has its own included rules for sidekicks. No, it doesn’t.

#

If you give each player their own sidekick, you’d be able to play it as-is.

@inland jasper The post above is a handy overview of playing online.

I noticed I spend a lot of time of my life looking at screens, for the sake of not reinforcing addictions, I should try to do more stuff in person.

My main friend group is in college and in a different city 40 minutes away so scheduling is hard.

What are some good ways to find some irl tabletop games for me to join

main fulcrum
#

You can try Warhorn, Meetup or check the websites of game stores near you

steel raven
#

I noticed there are a few near me, but the game stores near me are more retail exclusive, not so focused on tabletop to trading card games tables.

There is a store about 25 minutes from me which most likely is the sort you mean, given the whole tabletop focus. I suppose I could call other stores near me and see if they have tabeltop games one could join

main fulcrum
#

Yeah, you can always call around. Some stores may have games that they don't list on their websites.

#

Though people have played games anywhere from bars to local libraries too

#

Which is why checking Meetup or Warhorn for local game postings can be helpful too

steel raven
#

Cool cool, I heard horror stories from this sorta thing but I’m optimistic and should know when to leave

main fulcrum
#

You might have to try a few to find a game that works for you, but as long as you don't stick around with a group that doesn't mesh, you should be fine

Most adventures are based around 3 to 5 PCs. One PC isn't going to survive very long in an adventure.

Not without lots of work on the DMs part to rebalance things around only having one player character playing

But it's possible.

#

It's not about being smart or stupid, it's about being patient. Sometimes you just have to accept that these things take time.

#

The other idea is to put yourself out there. Using the looking for DM command in #find-a-game lets you put a personal advert up where you can tell people what kind of experience you have, your availability and what sort of game you're looking for.

#

Ultimately the time it takes depends on who’s looking and what they’re looking for.

#

You can reduce that time by being persistent and diligent, and by casting a wide net.

kind compass
#

Being a good person/player also helps

#

Be invested,be kind,and youll find someone

smoky adder
#

The more specific your needs, the longer it might take.

kind compass
#

Exactly

smoky adder
#

But I’d generally recommend a proactive approach, rather than a passive one.

#

I.E. Reach out to DMs directly rather than waiting for them to reach out to you.

kind compass
smoky adder
#

Take initiative. Share ideas.

kind compass
#

it might seem hurtfull,but as a player,you are 100% replaceable,you need to do the extra mile,or ya won't get taken

smoky adder
#

And even if it takes a while just to find a game, it might take even longer to find the right game for you.

#

So having those conversations before the game — sharing your ideas and your expectations — is crucial.

#

The better you can communicate your expectations up front, the better you can avoid any unpleasant surprises down the road.

Hi

arctic acorn
#

BG3 actually takes some creative liberties with the rules so not everything is exactly the same as BG3.

turbid ridge
#

Mechanically as well

frank gull
#

Im back. I finished the tutorial.

#

Or the quick adventure rather. I don't know why but i felt this rush of excitement with each new roll and see the outcome of it. It's really fun.

#

May i ask a dumb question? I don't know which class to choose.

solemn stag
frank gull
#

I apologize for this, i might need help cause i never created a character before.

arctic acorn
#

Well, if you want a beginner friendly class go for fighter. But do you have any idea of what you want your character's fighting style to be?

frank gull
#

My brain takes some time to comprehend certain things so i apologize in advance.

#

But i really enjoy like how in bg3 for like a ranger you could use like animals to help you.

arctic acorn
#

Ranger or druid might be the best options for you then. Ranger if you want to focus on weapons or archery. However choose druid if you want to focus on magic as well as healing if you want to.

#

Druids have a lot of nature themed spells so you'll get several ways to get animals and plants to help you.

frank gull
#

Question, if i pick ranger can i use like animals to help me. Like in bg3.

#

I want to be beast master ranger. Im so sorry.

#

Okay. That's fine.

arctic acorn
#

Let me just say that unfortunately the Beast Master subclass is behind a paywall.

#

In DnD Beyond at least.

rose trench
#

rangers also have spells like *animal friendship, beast bond, speak with animals, *and animal friendship, which you can use to interact magically with animals you come across

frank gull
#

Okay.

arctic acorn
#

Druids have a lot more crazy nature themed spells though. But it's a harder class to master.

fleet field
#

wildshape can be a trap in combat, even when used well you need to learn a whole other side of the game and manage a lot more, plus youre a full caster

#

it probably has you interacting with the most parts of the game of any class

frank gull
#

So, about my race. I would probably like to have maximize my proficiency with like bows.

arctic acorn
#

Any race can use bows.

fleet field
#

class defines weapon proficiency mainly

frank gull
#

Im so sorry

fleet field
#

no need to apologise

frank gull
#

So it doesn't matter what race i pick essentially.

arctic acorn
#

For example, an orc might be better fit to be a fighter or barbarian but doesn't mean that they can't be capable wizards.

frank gull
#

Right.

cobalt frigate
#

You may get some racial traits that may be better synergized with certain classes.

arctic acorn
#

Just pick what sounds fun to you.

frank gull
#

Okay. Do half elfs get the same racial traits as full elves?

lunar loom
#

no

arctic acorn
#

Half-elves are different from elves.

frank gull
#

At first it sounded dumb when i was rereading it.

#

Question, can a half elf be a mixture of anything with an elf or is it regulated between certain species?

cobalt frigate
#

Half-elves tend to be of an union between elves and humans.

arctic acorn
#

I mean they're supposed to be hybrids between human and elf however you could always ask your DM to make an exception.

cobalt frigate
#

I would recommend using Custom Lineage if you want something else.

frank gull
#

I have no dm.

cobalt frigate
#

Then I recommend you stick with what's in the book for now.

frank gull
#

Im just creating a character in the beyond app

#

Okay.

arctic acorn
#

I was trying to tell you that you should ask your DM when you eventually find one.

frank gull
#

I do appreciate the help that you guys are giving.

arctic acorn
#

Unlike most games the DM make the rules not the creators of the game.

#

The rules and lore you find in the books are often seen as suggestions for a lot of of Dungeon Masters.

fleet field
#

i mean if the dm isnt using at least the basics of the rules it isnt really dnd anymore

arctic acorn
#

Well, you know what I was saying.

cobalt frigate
#

A new player may not, hence the clarification.

frank gull
#

So is it okay if i still create a character even without a dm?

cobalt frigate
#

Yes, for practice.

frank gull
#

Cause Im actually enjoying the process even though i have no clue what im doing.

cobalt frigate
#

Have you read the free Basic Rules yet?

frank gull
#

I haven't. Im on the create your first character but i should probably read that first.

cobalt frigate
#

I would recommend you do because you're essentially trying to put a car together without knowing what the individual parts do.

frank gull
#

Like someone posted a link to do like a quick adventure which i did and then went into creating a character but i will read the basic rules.

#

Keep in mind that certain DMs might have a very specific plot in mind. You might find a cool DM that is trying to do a pirate themed game so obviously an archaeologist character will not work. Some DMs might even ban certain races or classes.

frank gull

Wait they can actually do that. I'm surprised.

Some DMs even like to alter the lore of creatures. For example, I've met a DM that made goblins scavengers and traders instead of nasty marauders. Personally I'm not too fond of that but I've noticed that a lot of DMs like to do that.

frank gull
#

Okay i read through the first four chapters.

#

That is tricky especially for a newb like myself. Like you know of goblins as being one thing and then you get to a game and it's not what you thought of and it confuses you.

#

But i would also assume the players when they first begin that like hey this is what this is like goblins are this. So you're not caught off guard. Or at least i would hope they tell you.

arctic acorn
#

There are different types of DMs and players. There are people that like to implement their own rules and lore in their games. There are people who like to be silly and people who like to do things more seriously. You just need to look around and find the best group for you.

frank gull
#

Absolutely.

#

Okay so i read through the first 4 chapters and i think i have a clear view of what i want for my character.

arctic acorn
#

Hell, there are even people like me who like to write instead of talk.

frank gull
#

I like writing more than talking cause i have a speech problem and that terrifies me to talk. Cause i know I'll eventually stutter.

arctic acorn
#

Ppb (pay-by-post) games might be something you'd enjoy then. The only downside of pbp games is that they move very slowly.

frank gull
#

Ill have to look into that.

#

So, i figured out what race and class i want to be.

#

Like im almost using myself as like inspiration.

#

Now that I fully thought about it. I envision my character as a ranger who likes animals more than people. Due to the reasoning of i have social anxiety when I talk to people cause of my speech impediment problem. Like i'm fearful of what would happen if i began to stutter infront of them. So i figured my character usually spends their time around animals because they're afraid of the reaction of people so they choose to tend to animals.

That's interesting. I can imagine your character having a low Charisma score.

#

Is talking a requirement. Which sounds dumb now asking.

#

As it is a vc game, not a text based one

frank gull
#

I have social anxiety even now.

I very much appreciate the offer but i must decline. Im so sorry.

But if thats not for you,there are plenty of text based dnd campaigns out there

Well if we can do anything to accomodate that,let me know

Thank you for reaching out cause that's very generous of you.

It sounds dumb creating a dnd character for when you have a fear of public speaking or playing in a world.

#

I know.

#

Some dnd games are just basically a chat room

#

But yeah exept that, most dnd games are either in person or in VC

Yeah

#

But Im still very excited to actually create a character.

#

To just even have one for myself even and create a backstory. It's still fun and a thrill.

When initiative is rolled, is it rolled for the start of every round of combat, or does the order stand throughout the whole combat?

ornate kiln
#

the standard rule is that is rolled once for the entire combat

#

(there is a variant rule for new initiative every round in the Dungeon Master's Guide, but thats not used very often, and for good reason imo. Rolling initiative every round is a huge time sink)

I have a question about the spell “lay on hands” I can’t really find the page for it but how much hp would that pool of ho have, or is that for the dm too decide?

fresh fable
#

It’s not a spell it’s a paladin ability

#

you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level × 5.

topaz garnet
velvet jetty
#

So if I'm a level 3 paladin I'll be able to heal 15 total hit points?

topaz garnet
#

3 x 5 is 15, yep

#

you have 15 points of Lay on Hands healing power

As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.

This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.

Take your time to learn to rules but if you find a good DM they can help you to learn the rules as you play

solemn light
#

And remember you don't need to learn all the rules before playing.

topaz garnet
#

Yeah you don't need to memorize everything, all you need is the knowledge that the rules exist and where to find those rules

fresh fable
#

At its most basic dnd is just asking the DM if you can do something they will ask you to roll if needed

topaz garnet
#

For example, knowing about fall damage, mounted combat, reactions, the BA spell rule, knowing where to find them

cosmic dune
#

Hi

solemn light
#

Most click into place as you play- it's a bit like playing a boardgame. You look through the rules once to have an idea of how things are meant to work overall, then you learn through play.

The above resources can help you out- have a try at making a practice PC (player character) by yourself if you like, as that's something you can do by yourself while looking for a game. It's a bit tricky at first, but following the step by step rules and trying not to over complicate it (and asking questions here when stuck) can really help. once you've made one PC, you basically know how to make any.

As for combat, you can look over some of the basic rules, but they'll mostly click in as you play. the rest you learn as you play- and not an issue if you or the DM get a rule wrong so long as it feels kinda right and you're having fun.

Ah good to know thanks, but just another question.. for example the zombie in dnd has 22 hit points and next to it stands (3D8+9) i don't understand? Like you roll the 8 dice 3 times and the total is +9 but what then? Or in actions, chop: Melee attack: +3 to hit, ok but with what dice am I rolling?

BG3 is a pretty great entry point into Table top D&D. 5e and BG3 are essentially the same rules, so you can remake a character you played in BG3 in 5e easily. Some rules are different though, as they were changed to make it easier to play in a digital platform, so keep an eye out for those. Might trip you up a few times at the start, but overall if you've played BG3 you'll be pretty familiar with most 5e terms and rules now.

such as shoving and jumping being almost entirely and fundamentally different

but stuff like attack rolls versus AC, saving throws versus DC, spell slots, remain the same

Hi! Does anyone know what the difference between a bond and an ally is?

crude musk
#

They're completely different things

#

A bond is something that ties you to a place, a community, a person, or a way of life. It's a commitment, oath, or tenet
An ally is someone you're working with in pursuit of a goal

covert wedge

That makes sense

Heya! Not really sure what channel this is meant to go into, but i need help ;-;. I'm new to dnd and made the unfortunate decision of picking a druid Q^Q - with no prior knowledge on building characters, i made a sort of empty feeling character. To rectify this i wrote a whole doc going into her backstory and extras (i know overcompensation much). After playing two sessions with her, i realize that as a new player I want to loot and kill stuff - However, this campaign is a sort of dungeon situation where we have versed animals. This campaign will make sure we interact with them too... I got a little trigger happy and wanted to extract information from the spider. By way of ... torture. It was a giant mistake on my part but she had just died to some of the spiders, so it was sort of vengeful? I'm just so lost on the whole druid way, while yes I could claim will of the wild - what ever happens happens, and just try to not go crazy again i just feel so scrambled. pls help

My apologies, im not even sure myself. I LOVE my character, i just feel like im messing her up - especially how i should play her seeing as shes a druid. With the incoming arc of a rat king and the past spider incident im just not confident at all. Im probably just overreacting, embarrassed by the dms raised brow dndLol 🥲 What do i do to make sure it doesnt happen again - any tips for playing a druid and following the vague 'balance the forest' vibe as a new player?

I stand a lot on session zero, which is a pre-game discussion about expectations as much as logistics. If that didn’t happen at the start, it can happen at any time among the members of the table.

I don’t know if the group knows you’re new (as I’m guessing since you’re posting in this channel), but if not, you might talk at least with the DM about your concerns if you’re overstepping. For instance, maybe the expectation is that you’re a band of heroes so torture was a bridge too far. Maybe the DM is worried about murderhobo tendencies (that is, killing everything without regard for the consequences to the narrative). The way to solve many problems in D&D is how you solve most problems among people: communication.

#

It’s not clear if you’re worried about playing your character faithfully or if your in-character actions bothered the people at the table, but you can clarify this by talking to your fellow players, which includes the DM.

What have you got so far? Where are you stuck?

If you haven't read it yet, the first few chapters of the Basic Rules all cover character creation.

lapis dirge

not much, just trying to figure out what would be best for point allocation for a new party

#

i have little to no experience with dnd since my group just stopped getting on mid quest and then just started new ones with different groups while i was gone

You mean you're using point buy for ability scores, and you're not sure how each player should allocate their points?

kind compass
#

Well if you want,I have a couple of spots for my sunday campaign

rancid pike
#

I couldn't quite figure it out from the basic rules, maybe I missed that paragraph.
But how does movement play into combat?
Like, I get that if someone is arguing in the face of you, it takes a single action to just strike them, for example.

But let's say the BBEG is standing 15 feet away, is it still a single action to hit them with some melee ability, or does RAW require two actions to move up and then strike them?

kind compass
#

Id gladly help ya make your character sheet

lapis dirge

#

You have 30ft of movement you can use anyway you want

smoky adder
#

Moving isn't technically an "action" at all, at least not by the game definition.

kind compass
#

They do not require an action

kind compass
smoky adder
#

You get one action on your turn, and you can move a distance up to your speed.

#

Most characters have a walking speed of 30 ft., which means you can move up to 30 ft. on your turn.

rancid pike
topaz garnet
#

The interaction is the Dash action giving you extra movement.

#

And it can be before or after yes

When you're using extra attack, it can even go between attacks

Thanks!

smoky adder

#

You've got
Movement
Action
Object Interaction (as part of action or movement- such as open door, pull lever, draw weapon, sheathe weapon)
Bonus Action (discrete resource, specifically only if you have something to use as a bonus action)

#

(Yes there's action and bonus action, no they're not interchangeable, think of them more like different shapes - they are different resources outright)

rancid pike
#

Ah I think I get it. Found the chapter now.
Item use seemed to be normal action only, yeah.

#

Assuming we'd get one of those square mates to better visualize stuff, how is diagonal movement usually applied?

#

Or for that matter, odd angles outside 0, 90 and 45 degrees

#

Like, when moving something like the shape of a chess horse movement, let's say

wild onyx
edgy onyx
#

Depends on the DM, but the two most common ways to count diagonal movement when using a grid in my experience are
1: Diagonal squares count the same as any other movement, so it's 5ft to move diagonally as it would be any square
2: Every 2nd diagonal square moved counts as 10 ft, which roughly averages out to a correct distance (This is what I personally use)

wild onyx
#

Yeah, I do it the lazy way. I figure, it's turn based combat, it's an abstraction anyway, it's the same rule for PCs and the opposition and it's not going to break anything.

edgy onyx
#

Also some VTT's like roll20 just have rulers for stuff like that, which has come in handy 😎

This is just a good habit in general; study up on your class features before each session so you know how they work

Eldritch blast is your main tool. Mainly take big concentration spells, so you can drop one of those at the start of combat, then spam eldritch blast the rest of the time

Don’t be afraid to push your party to take short rests

How do I know what modifier to hit I add to a “melee spell attack”

#

For inflict wounds

You use your spell attack modifier.

rugged sleet
#

so im first level fighter

#

with 2 levels in cleric

#

and 18 wisdom

topaz garnet
#

ah, so 3rd level character and you have Inflict Wounds from cleric, and 18 wisdom

#

you use your Wisdom modifier for Cleric spells (So +4) and you add your proficiency bonus (+2, as a 3rd level character)
+6 total

rugged sleet
#

so do i add +6 to all my cleric spells to hit?

topaz garnet
#

(Remember you only roll exactly what the spell says, so it does a flat 3d8 damage on a hit, not + mod like weapons get to do)

topaz garnet
#

and your Cleric Spell Save DC is 14 (8+2+4)

rugged sleet
#

thanks

#

inflict wounds is 3d10 dmg right?

topaz garnet

i may misremember

rugged sleet
#

oh also

#

can i ask u another question?

go ahead

#

and yeah IW is 3d10 oops

#

so lets say intitative goes 1. me 2. my teamate 3. a goblin

#

and lets say my teamate is downed right so rolling death saves

#

and i cast healing word on them

topaz garnet
#

if you heal them they have HP and can take turn as normal

rugged sleet
#

do they stand up and get their turn?

#

oh nice

topaz garnet
#

they don't auto-stand up, they'll have to do that manually cuz they're still on the ground lol

rugged sleet
#

but they still get their aaction?

but yeah even if they roll a 20 on their death save and get 1hp, they'd have their turn

and then

#

when someone goes down right

#

they roll a d20 on each of their turns with 1-9 fail and 10-20 success? and if they get 3 success they become consicious and 3 fails perma death?

topaz garnet
#

not perma death but they do die

#

If you start your turn at 0 hit points and unstable, you make a Death saving throw, 1-9 is fail, 10-20 is success
a 1 is two fails, a 20 is immediately regain 1 hit point.

Since it happens at the start of your turn, and you might regain 1 hit point...
You have 1 hit point and your turn's not over. You have your turn, albeit at 1 hp and starting prone.

worthy basalt
#

I thought it was 1-10 was fail 11-20 was success? Or am i mistaken

topaz garnet
#

Roll a d20. If the roll is 10 or higher, you succeed.

Okay building a character, for advanced type, what’s the difference or preference between milestone or xp progression?

smoky adder
#

XP works like you'd expect from a video game.

#

Get enough XP and you level up.

#

Milestone has you level up when you complete certain in-game accomplishments, based on the story. ("You defeated the boss. Everybody level up.")

#

Your DM will let you know which to use.

violet wing
#

Okay so right off the back I’ll need at least two characters? One has milestone the other xp just in case?

#

Or I can switch it anytime?

smoky adder
#

I take it you're using D&D Beyond?

#

You can always change it later if needed.

fleet field

Nah you can change what you have to set to depending on what the dm wants

You can’t create items in dnd

Home brew items

Dnd isn’t all just rules

DND is about fun right ?

west wind

It’s a game about imagination and thinking of everything

#

Home brew is a major part of my dnd experience as a dm

surreal hull
#

its not 'technically' in dnd, but it can be because you can make it whatever you want

I love creating new items creatures and weapons for my players to enjoy

violet wing

That power of Imagination eh, ILL WILL BE A GOD! Muwhahaha

surreal hull
#

like its not part of the template youre given

sullen hollow
#

Homebrewing just for fun is something people do also, even if they don't ever expect to use it in a campaign or anything.

west wind
#

Homebrew being a part of dnd is technically IN dnd

#

Therefore Homebrew items are in your games which are in dnd

surreal hull
#

i agree, but i think they meant as in crafting specifically isnt in dnds template, but of course it can be if you add it because of homebrew

#

but crafting fun

west wind
#

I see that

grizzled carbon
#

in the handbook my former dm gave me it told me how to create items and weapons

cobalt frigate
#

5E lacks significant crafting rules. If you want to know more about crafting stuff then head over to #dm-discussion because this is beyond the scope of this channel.

west wind
#

Homebrew is a very loose term

#

I’d say any custom item or creature mechanics and systems count as Homebrew

surreal hull
#

id say its like anything that you makeup that isnt official lore/mechanic/rule

west wind
#

But that’s my interpretation

main fulcrum
#

Yeah. Pretty much any custom content that's not in an official book. Though rules changes are often called House Rules instead of homebrew. And people don't 100% agree on where the line is between homebrew and 3rd party content

It definitely helps to learn the basics before going too wild

Hi, im a newbie in that I have yet to sucessfully join a game, I know a lot about dnd in terms of classes and rules and im obssed with dnd shows like critcal role and dimension 20 but can never seem to find a game to join. I live in the middle of pratically nowhere and do collage all online so finding a in person game for me is impossible and I avoided trying to find online games until now because of me being on exreemly toxic discord servers a couple years back that made me go off of discord and social media in general for years until recently. my brother wouldnt even let me join his games becasue of how his toxic players would affect me. I finally decided to try to go back on it and now after leqaring about dnd almost 3 years ago I real;ly want to fianlly start playing online games

You can refer to what Zero said to me as well, it applies to you

It sucks that you've had such a tough time finding a game.
Like with anything in regards to dealing with internet it's important to be cautious not anxious.

Take your time to learn what's out there.
When it comes to dnd games, establish lines and veils.
Learn about safety tools and how to use them to help facilitate a safe and welcoming enviroment.

#

It regards to discord servers, there are some signs that help you know if a the server is a welcoming one.

  • Having server rules and guidelines for etiquette and behavior.
  • A server having moderators
  • Promoting to be a LGBTQIA+ safe environment.
  • Showing some form of communication between the admins and the community such as a feedback forum.

Are there other sites to make character sheets other than dnd beyond? Because the stuff they have is quite restricting for free users

Yeah, roll 20 and others out there probably

#

roll20 is free

I typically recommend using dnd beyond because it is vey new player friendly.

And if there is a specific build you want to do, the site gives you option to buy specific content from the books.

Plus with the free content alone you'll get alot of mileage out of it.

As seen by the 'cantrips known' column on the class tables of classes that know cantrips or subclasses that provide them, or in the Spellcasting or Pact Magic traits of such classes saying they get 2 or 3 (or 4 for Sorcerer) cantrips.

Hey, I'm using a premade campaign to play with my players. At one point there's a trap.
"Following the bridge, immediately after is a pressure triggered trap that is triggered by anyone over 120 lbs. If triggered, anyone in that 5x5 ft. square is pelted with rocks, suffering 1d6 bludgeoning damage. Disarming the trap yields 10 XP to the one who disarmed it."

It says that disarming the trap rewards the player, but it doesnt say how does a player disarm it. Is it common knowledge I might have missed?

echo kelp
#

Unless there are specific instructions on how to disarm the trap, you as the DM can decide what can/will work and what the Difficulty Challenge is for those. Also this would be a great question for #dm-discussion.

#

Some possible ways of disarming the trap: Sleight of Hand (Dexterity) check to disable the trap mechanism, Strength (Athletics) check to rip the trap apart so quickly/efficiently it doesn't go off, etc.

restive hearth
echo kelp
#

So check their passive perceptions/investiagtion (10 + wisdom modifier for passive perception, 10 + intelligence modifier for passive investigation) and if you feel it's high enough they can spot it without rolling if you want. Or you can have the group make a group perception check - everyone rolls a perception check and you take the average of it and if it's high enough they spot the trap.

#

To ensure that group checks don't alert the group to everything, make sure to randomly have the group make similar checks even if there's no danger whatsoever.

#

For further DM'ing advice, please check with the folks in #dm-discussion.

Does everyone in the party level at the same rate?

Xp is split usually yes

Depends on the dm / the campaign though

#

How does the leveling typically work is it a set numbers of monsters, or encounters?

crude musk
#

Either the DM awards XP based on the difficulty of a challenge (be it a combat encounter, puzzle, social encounter etc) and you level up once you reach a certain amount of XP, or the DM announces at certain key points (often call milestones) that the party has levelled up

I'm glad you are having fun, and I definitely don't want to take that away from you, but generally speaking I think its a bad idea to play your first game of D&D that far outside the normal rules of the game. I reccomend that people learn the rules normally and use them a few times at least before trying to make changes

The rules are available in text form above, and you can also find a link to short videos explaining various parts of the rules.

The short answer is one person is the DM who controls the world and all things in it except for the players, who each control one character. The DM describes a situation, the PCs decide what they want to do, dice are rolled to determine success/failure.

It depends on how you're getting into the game. Spellcasting is tricky but it's definitely learnable. Some folks find it easier, though, if they have a friend help them through this process. If you're learning solo, though, the martial classes (fighter, rogue, monk, and barbarian) have the fewest mechanics to grasp.

#

But as above, play what you like. Some just have a steeper learning curve, that's all.

I’m kinda stumped so it PC based correct? I get the whole dice role and character making but what am I limited too

#

You can play in person or online. How you play online depends on the DM.

fallen surge
#

D&D is a "tabletop" game, not a PC game. We have tools to play it over the internet, but most of those function as glorified pieces of paper. D&D is, at its core, played in the imagination

cobalt frigate
#

Originally the game was played around a table, hence "tabletop role-playing game," using paper, pencils, and dice.

river crater
#

D&D as a game is very flexible

cobalt frigate
#

How you play in person or online largely depends on the Dungeon Master (DM). If you play in person you can go very minimum with just paper and dice or as elaborate (and very expensive) miniature sets and characters. Similarly, online you can just use Zoom or Discord to talk/text each other and using just your imagaination or use a virtual tabletop (VTT) app and have 2D/3D battle maps.

If the Aid spell ends (most commonly by the 8 hour duration ending) the target's maximum hit points would revert to their original value. If your maximum hit points are reduced, your current hit points aren't affected unless you would have more hit points than your maximum would allow

#

The aid spell wouldn't end from taking any amount of damage (unless you're dead)
