How can I find a group to play dnd with and can someone message me directly so they can help me with character creation

hearty escarp

Here on this server, you can use the lfg channels (see the link above yours to find out more).

There is also this handy guide by iamrazorwing that goes into more detail:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rjwuod1lNBM5n4X_TH2ZoqTULv53jWaVMXtrzKVboms/edit?tab=t.0

People are offering/looking for games all over the place.

As far as the rules go, I can't help you through the entire character sheet, but if you have questions, feel free to post them here. People are usually very helpful in answering anything.

#

Is there a way I can make a character who useses magic with his magic being limmeted to summoning weapons rather than spells or healing chants

hearty escarp
#

Somewhat. There is a way to build a Warlock so that you can summon any weapon. You'll still have some other spells though.

#

Look for the Pact of the Blade invocation.

How could I find that

As a beginner player and aspiring DM, is getting all three rulebooks a requirement as a DM? Or is the handbook enough for a beginner session?

#

I got it slightly mixed up
Hexblade and pact of the blade is different
What rules are u playing (2014 or 2024)

wheat crystal
#

Hexblade is only one option for a melee warlock. As earlier taking Pact of the Blade will likely suffice for your concept under 2024 rules, which is available for free as part of the Basic Rules.

#

Hi, for my druid i dont know if i should take the wildfire one ( he is a tiefling ), or the shepherd one..

#

I'd say that the wildfire druid could work with my tiefling

wheat crystal
#

Pick whichever subclass you think has the mechanics that appeal to you more and make sense given your tiefling's narrative thus far

#

Both are fun subclasses. I wouldn't put too much weight on picking Wildfire just because you picked tiefling; species has little, if any, impact on subclass

dusky flint
#

Ohh okay !

#

I thought that the wildfire choice was "logical" because i'm immune to fire and everything..

hearty escarp
#

Only resistant, not immune. And the damage type depends on the type of tiefling you are.

#

But yeah, I think it would be a cool combination on that basis alone too.

dusky flint
#

I also liked the fact that you can summon a fire spirit, and how it works

#

When someone dies, I can either create flames that heal my allies or hurt enemies.
Any long-distance spell can be cast from the spirit’s position instead of mine (I don’t know if that’s clear).
My healing and damage effects are increased at level 6,
When the spirit appears, it also deals damage i think ?

#

But the shepherd one seems fun

#

#

I’m super new to dnd and the only thing I’m confused about is turns and when I do stuff

dusky flint
hearty escarp
#

Note:

Player characters and monsters can also do things not covered by these actions. Many class features and other abilities provide additional action options, and you can improvise other actions. When you describe an action not detailed elsewhere in the rules, the Dungeon Master tells you whether that action is possible and what kind of D20 Test you need to make, if any.

#

Turns mostly matter during combat, when everything moves quickly.

sick vale
dusky flint
#

But theres also the shepherd one.. It would be nice to talk to animals..

edgy onyx
#

Pretty sure you could just pick Speak With Animals spell then. No need for a whole subclass for one thing 😎

Is anyone looking for players? I've been looking for days. I've never played with other people only video game versions and, with a most recent Ai app, but I have been trying to get an actual game with people. I've always wanted to play dnd, and fantasy, strategic thinking, magic all that good stuff is my wheel house, but I've never known anyone who's enjoyed it too, please someone help me out.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find the official and legal French PDF of the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Player’s Handbook. The versions I have found are visually readable, but whenever I try to copy and paste the text, it becomes unusable because of poor text encoding or OCR issues.

If anyone knows where to get a FRENCH, good-quality, properly formatted PDF with copyable text, I’d really appreciate the help!

Question, whats the difference between a Wizard and a Sorcerer, couldn't completely decide

sharp forge
#

doesnt one have a god or deity they get their powers from?

harsh fjord
#

Wizards use Intelligence for spellcasting and get their magic through study; mechanically, they have access to the most magic. Sorcerers use Charisma and are inherently magical. They get fewer spells but can alter them in neat ways.

trim basin

#

Wizards learn to cast spells through intelligence and reading books and scrolls. Sorcerers just have it innately to cast spells and rely on their charisma

Typically Clerics or Paladins would be gods and deities.

#

Warlocks are typically other powerful creatures.

#

Devils

#

Unicorns

#

Etc

tranquil dew
#

yeah that too, but “celestial” i think is more what they were going for

#

which would include fiends or other hellish creatures

smoky adder
#

Drawing on the ancient knowledge of beings such as angels, archfey, demons, devils, hags, and alien entities of the Far Realm, Warlocks piece together arcane secrets to bolster their own power.

tranquil dew
#

yeah clerics, warlocks, and paladins all get their powers from celestiales of some sort

smoky adder
#

For celestial warlocks specifically:

Your pact draws on the Upper Planes, the realms of everlasting bliss. You might enter an agreement with an empyrean, a couatl, a sphinx, a unicorn, or another heavenly entity. Or you might call on numerous such beings as you pursue goals aligned with theirs. Your pact allows you to experience a hint of the holy light that illuminates the multiverse.

#

Hey y'all 👋 just joined, only played one guided training d&d session so far to understand how the game works. After that I got hooked and I'm building my first characters. I'm actually making a cleric and an artificer

Character creation is always so fun

Because you have access to the most spells.

blissful kite
#

I love clerics. Especially aestheticly

leaden grove
# cobalt basalt Wait artificer is pretty hard to

From a noob point of view, artificer has a lot of things going on about it. But once you read all the things they can do, doesn't sound so bad. It's just a lot of mechanics and my character sheet is already like 8 pages just to incorporate all mechanics, spell cards, infusions and whatnot

blissful kite
#

Are you writing out every infusion + spell or just the ones you'll have access to?

leaden grove
# blissful kite 8 pages? Damn.

Well yeah as a beginner I like to have spells descriptions, infusions etc as a cheat sheet . The character itself is the classic two pages

pliant plank
leaden grove
#

Well I'm using the formated character sheet with all the boxes and stuff so graphics take quite a lot of space

#

The format I'm using fits 9 flashcards per page and so far I have everything my character has on it. So even things like "rope" I made a card with rope description just to remind me what a rope can do. I never played before so I like to access all my tools, spells, equipment things easily

trim basin
#

Bro is fully prepared for anything

leaden grove
#

Well yeah having full description of everything made me realize that I can add my proficiency bonus to thunder gauntlets because it is considered a simple weapon for example

#

Armorer artificer btw

#

Also most of the times it is not clear to me what needs an action or bonus action etc.. so I need those written down 🤣

#

Also a lot of fluff, catchphrases and flavor sentences and action to dive deep into the role play aspect

blissful kite
#

Makes things so much more fun

pliant plank
#

Woah..

#

Damn bro I needa step up my game then 😭

leaden grove
#

Well yeah I'm building my characters more on the theme and the character itself. The class and race is more like a bioproduct of the main ideas for the character

#

Been watching critical role and they inspired me to make characters like that

pliant plank
#

Oohh I've heard of them!

#

I haven't gotten into it yet bc there's allat.. ion even know where to start 😭

blissful kite
#

But after I know the general class mainly based on mechanics with a general flavor concept, ill pick my future subclass also based off of a mix of flavor and mechanics before really hitting the flavor and backstory hard.

#

But seriously though, you can re-flavor so easily as long as your DM works with you at all. Like my swords bard I played had massive cleric vibes because he was raised in a church. He cared more about the histories of the Faith's and the gods than music or "rolling to seduce", but that didnt stop me from picking bard as his class because mechnically that fit best for him.

#

Or my wizard that has a pact with a devil. You'd think devil pact? Warlock? Nope. He's definitely a wizard, the pact is purely flavor in his case.

blissful kite
leaden grove
#

Well yes for example I'm repurposing a lot of mechanics. Not homebrewing, but giving it that personal flavor, for example my cleric has an incense burner that can swing into enemies, it's essentially a flail and combat wise acts exactly as a flail. But for my character it's a church incense burner that he's always carrying around.

My artificer has a "zap gun", basically aight crossbow and functions exactly the same but for flavor and aesthetic for me it's like a steampunk Tesla coil pistol but mechanically it's a light crossbow. All legal stuff for the character and level. I just change the name and the cosmetic on it to make it fit the theme better.

Hey… uuuum I’m KINDA new to dnd but what I played was never too official so I was just wondering what class is focused on healing and I imagine barbarian is for heavy weapons right 😞 sorry I’m kind of clueless

edgy onyx
#

Clerics and Paladins have inherent healing, though any class that gets healing spells could do the job about as well, as healing isn't as big in DnD as it would be in many rpg games. Monsters generally outdamage any healing you can do, abd you only need to heal someone 1 hit point to being them back from being knocked down to 0

#

And Heavy weapons tend to be for classes using Strength, so Paladin, Barbarian or Fighter are likely getting most use out of them

I've been building a cleric with d&d beyond and since I have the free plan I can only chose life domain cleric. I wanted to go for a light domain cleric initially but after reading what a life domain cleric can do I decided to stay with it. Life domain clerics will get massive heals eventually.. it's pretty cool if you want a healer character. Already at level 3 you get +2 on all your healing spells for example. And at higher level you get area healing, self healing and a lot of cool stuff

Like zal said, the SRD itself is pretty easy to find with a simple search.

Bottom line, if you want something that's not in the SRD, you have to hand someone money

wheat crystal
#

Welcome! I’d have a look at #learn-to-play as well as this channel’s pins, both of which have a bunch of useful newbie links including to the free Basic Rules. I suggest making a practice character as you flip through, since it often aids the learning process. The more you learn the easier it is to get into a table as well!

Don't feel pressured to memorize everything, take it at your own pace and focus on what you want to do (e.g. no need to read every spell description, or every classes' mechanics if you don't plan on playing one)

Also feel free to ask any specific questions you have here, we’re always happy to help! :)

rancid hinge
#

Regarding the player hand book do I have to buy it? Or i can watch videos on YT.
I got a basic and general idea of DND.

#

And I would like to know does it rely heavily on strategy?

wheat crystal
#

If you want the content in the PHB yeah you'd have to buy it, either a digital (e.g. on D&DBeyond) or physical (e.g. at a local game store, online retailers) copy. If you don't want to pay for it your local library may have a copy available for checkout.

Another option I highly recommend is the free Basic Rules (linked in this channel's pins and in #learn-to-play ), which contains everything you strictly need to play D&D except for sheets, dice, and people to play with. The most important difference in my opinion between the Basic Rules and the PHB is that the Basic Rules has less character options, though it also lacks some niche extra rules and some setting examples to run your game in.

#

As for your strategy question, that's entirely up to the DM how much strategy is required to succeed in D&D. The DM controls how the world and everyone in it behaves, except for the players.

I guess there's some base level of "strategy" in that there are a few heuristics players might like to follow (e.g. don't make your Constitution stat too low) outside of the basic guidelines for each class (e.g. Wizard's primary ability is Intelligence)

Hey nerd. I'd rather not.

trim basin
#

Hi 😀

teal temple
# rough jolt So I can't do both an action (throw an axe) and a reaction (ready an attack) at ...

(Correct answer already given)

Just wanted to add, a Reaction is something you get one per round that requires a trigger to use and one does not have a reaction unless a rule allows or creates one, while your Action is a thing you get one of whenever it is your turn.

With those terms defined...
Ready is an Action that allows for a Reaction with the Trigger you set up. If that trigger is when an enemy moves in to your reach, then you can do that readied Action when the trigger occurs.

To the question of doing both, if the trigger occurs on your turn, you can still do it, but the action of readying does require an Action on your turn to set it up. And thus prevents you from doing another action without a rule to give you an extra action.

If I ready an offensive spell and it doesn't get used, do i lose the spell slot

It's expended the moment you take the Ready action.

Welp that doesn't feel good 😂

hearty escarp
#

Yeah, in my experience people usually ready cantrips. 😄

I suppose some DMs homebrew that rule out, because it feels demoralizing to lose a spell slot and not even miss through a roll

I am dming soon, should i allow players to stand on cover? I was thinking if they get shoved they have disadvantage if they're standing on something unstable like a barrel or furniture

It can be. Ready is a fun tool for shenanigans because sometimes things don't happen on your turn that you want to be present when you act.

Readying is a rare enough action to take in combat.

I don't quite follow, but I also wouldn't recommend playing with flanking. It's an optional rule in 2014 and not a rule at all in 2024.

rough jolt
#

I play 2014

#

I was thinking the DMs who make it add +2 to hit balanced it right

#

That way advantage still matters

hearty escarp
#

That's how I implemented it when I tried it, yeah.

teal temple
#

Flanking just leads to silly positioning shenanigans where people run around a creature while engaged to reposition for it. It is theoretically cool but it doesn't make a lot of sense when paired with other rules. DM intervention is really necessary to balance it out with further house rules.

hearty escarp
#

It also frequently benefits enemies more than pcs.

# rough jolt What house rules do u think go well with it

I, personally, was never a fan of flanking as I saw how it was playing out and found it distasteful, especially when my parties were being TPKed. I experimented with a number of things but as I was never satisfied enough to keep using it, I cannot say which rules go well.

Hi everyone I'm really new to D&D and have played a total of probably 3-4 hours of unserious D&D with my friends. However, I find it really interesting and would like to get into D&D. What would you recommend I do as a beginner to familiarise myself with the game?

gleaming light
# fallen cargo Hi everyone I'm really new to D&D and have played a total of probably 3-4 hours ...

Hi! I haven't talked in this server once and just happened to look through haha. I suggest listening to D&D podcasts. There are a lot of interesting ones suited for all ages and it just depends on what you're trying to learn more about. As a new player myself I started listening to Tales from the Stinky Dragon, which is a good podcast on Spotify I've turned on to get to know the game and learn with the players. I usually dislike podcasts because I get distracted easily, but this has helped me a lot and I would like to get into DMing (if anyone has any tips please feel free to share). Another thing is watching other people play, either friends or on YouTube. Reading the guidebooks and rulebooks are also good but may be a bit confusing for a first timer :] hope this helps

TL;DR: Podcasts (e.g. Tales from the Stinky Dragon), YouTube and watching friends, and guidebook :]

Also just out of curiosity are there a lot of changes between the 2019 version and the current version (5e i think it's called?) of dnd?

gleaming light
#

I'm actually unsure about that, I'm about as new as you sorry

fallen cargo
#

oh ok thanks

teal temple
#

Some, yeah, but mostly 5E is 5E whether 2014 or 2024. Just some tweaks to gameplay and character options.

fallen cargo
#

thank you!

teal temple
#

Not that either version doesn't have good and bad points, but i personally consider 2024 to be a superior rules set overall. YMMV though.

#

The best rules set is the one the DM is using though. 🙂

Hello everyone, I had built a wizard before, however, Order of Scribes is calling to me. Would it be a DM decision to allow that as a subclass?

E g. I have a steampunk pistol gun. It is essentially a light crossbow and functions exactly the same, needs to be reloaded every shot, same damage same everything. It's just that in my imagination and for my character it is a clockwork pistol

Good example of flavor, yeah. At that point it's just a matter if the DM has that level of technology in their setting

Can someone explain how the DnD books work? I know there's the DM one and the players handbook but what about all the others? Is there an order of them?

lime turret
#

PHB is the core rules, DMG is for DMs, Monster Manual is full of monster stats, the rest are either additional rules or pre-made adventures.

#

You only need the first three for the core experience.

ornate light
#

Oh so I dont need to read all of them? Im seeing like some other discord servers for DnD advertised as a certain type of server so i am a bit confused

hearty escarp
#

The expanded books all build upon a shared basis, which are the core three books. Most questions are answered by consulting them.
There are also the free basic rules, which contain much of the core rules already:

Such as Westmarch style server for example

West Marches is a meta concept, outside of the rules. A quick google will tell you about it.

#

Are there really any rules to what the lore of your character can be? Something like a pirate, samurai or gunslinger, i would assume they work, but i just need to make sure. Sorry if the question is dumb, im really new 😭

hearty escarp
#

As long as it fits into the world of the game you're going to be playing in, the extent of your characters past is up to you. Usually it's a good idea to check with the DM though.

#

ok, thank you very much!

#

The additional optional rules found in books that you can buy.

#

You can play D&D with just the free rules and System Reference Document (SRD) materials but buying books provides additional rules, classes, items, etc.

hearty escarp
#

The Player's Handbook, for example, has additional subclass options for each class you get in the free rules. But the basic class is the same in each.

wraith pivot
hearty escarp
#

That's a harder question to answer than you might think. Critical Role campaigns have their own canon, though they're not official. Official is what we call anything that is being released by WoTC.

#

There are many worlds and settings in dnd, all potentially having their own canon.

wraith pivot
#

Oh so anyone is free to create their own storylines with the rules provided? That includes other indie podcasts like worlds beyond number?

echo kelp
#

Yes - D&D is a game that almost encourages it

Every table can make their own cannon using already existing lore or create their own

#

i'm actually a player asking about something about a ruling of what people would allow. it was relevant for here as a question.

timid locust
#

Sure thing, I can try to answer it here

hushed goblet
#

say if i threw a robe over an invisible creature to expose it and see it clearly would the creature now be classed as a visible creature?

timid locust
#

By the letter of the rules? No. It's still invisible. Your DM may rule otherwise, but that's up to them.

hushed goblet
#

fair then, what if the player then casts light on said robe to illuminate it?

timid locust
#

They'd still be invisible. The invisibility condition can only be removed by specific things in the game.

hushed goblet
#

but would you still give the player a disadvantage since they have now completely gave up the creature?

timid locust
#

Me personally as the DM? Yes. The creature still has the invisible condition.

main fulcrum
#

The problem with letting players use mundane things to get around things like Invisible is that they can then expect to do that all the time

#

And things that are supposed to be challenges or burn resources suddenly become "well, I just use my cloth again"

hushed goblet
#

I'm gonna class it as a weird dnd rule tbh since in balance wise it makes sense. logically it doesn't since that's how media portrays it.

main fulcrum
#

Logic and D&D rules only have a vague relationship to each other

timid locust
#

Ironically, the Invisibility spell itself says

Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target's person.
So there's some precedent for the cloth itself becoming invisible too dndLol

I just wouldn't think too hard about it.

main fulcrum
#

True. In this case, the cloth might well just become invisible too

timid locust
#

The two classic DnD phrases that I'll fall back on to close out this topic are:

  • "Things only do what they say they do." and
  • "For everything else, ask your DM."

Best infusions for armorer artificer level 3? I can have 4, already have enhanced defense and weapon. Leaning towards a tank build.

placid osprey
leaden grove
#

I do cast spells, mostly utility so I guess arcane focus is a better choice than repeating shot. Not sure about the servant. How useful is that on armorer tank?

placid osprey
#

the servant would greatly help with your utility spells as it can deliver spells with a range of touch as long as it is within 120 feet of you, essentially giving your touch spells a range of 120 feet

as for repeating shot you could take the crossbow expert feat to ignore the loading property on crossbows as well as you get to roll normally if they're in your face which would pair well with repeating shot but this does require the feat investment

leaden grove
#

Is mending useful on armorer? If not I could replace it with shocking grasp + servant. Is shocking grasp a cantrip?

fiery panther
#

As a noob dm, even though I shouldn’t have to face leveling for a a while at what point do I decide to level up my party?

placid osprey
#

shocking grasp is a cantrip but can still be delivered with the servant since it is a spell

hushed goblet
#

is there any items like the belt of hill giant strength for dex instead?

leaden grove
placid osprey
#

mending can repair minor damage but won't be able to do any healing as far as i'm aware

leaden grove
#

Can heal the servant if I pick that.. but then shocking grasp is probably better so I can punch, bonus action to deliver shocking grasp and essentially attack twice in one turn

wheat crystal
#

Stuff like mending is better for out of combat usage anyway

leaden grove
#

I guess shocking grasp is better than the regular servant's attack

placid osprey
#

mending can heal the servant, i just now read that in the servant's stat block

leaden grove
#

Yes yes it can but I think shocking grasp is more useful than mending right?
I think I can afford to let the servant die.. can rebuild another one anyway

placid osprey
#

yep i agree with you

wheat crystal
#

In terms of combat utility, yeah.

leaden grove
#

Also I don't think I'll have the money to buy a 100gp gem yet. And I can only use 2 infusion now.. so the servent will just be there for later probably.

#

My infusion plan is to buff arcane armor with enhanced defense and the gauntlets with enhanced weapon

#

I just found out about booming blade. I see a tank potential there. If the enemy moves they're gonna take 1d8 damage. That encourages enemies to stay on me. Also combined with thunder gauntlets if the enemy doesn't attack me they'll have disadvantage. So booming blade + thunder gauntlets can be a good taunt combo

Hello

teal temple
# hushed goblet say if i threw a robe over an invisible creature to expose it and see it clearly...

Short answer is you are confusing invisible with hidden.

Invisible is somewhat still a state of "you can't see me!" Through magical concealment. Hidden is related to not being detected.

Extending this to your example, the invisible creature location is often known not unknown, so throwing a cloth over changes nothing there. On top of this, one still cannot see the creature, only the sheet, so still magically concealed. Nothing different again.

So, think of it this way. If you were eating, certain foods are best eaten with either a spoon, a fork, a knife or a glass. If you own all 4, you always have a something that makes consumption easier. If you only owned a fork and a spoon, eating steak is not impossible but it is harder and drinking orange juice is harder if you only have a spoon, but not impossible.

Having less players is much the same. You will usually be missing some things and it might make things harder,but it can still be done.

arctic acorn
#

Having three players is considered to be the minimum number for a good time.

#

You could always just play as a character yourself and "fill the role of third player". The only problem is that it's very easy to mess that up. You need to remind yourself that you're the DM so you can't act like an actual player and you should always avoid stealing the spotlight.

edgy onyx
#

DMPCs (basically DM trying to be a player AND a DM at the same time) is very often frowned on, as it brings various problems with it

simple wadi
edgy onyx
#

Better options is using the sidekick rules, or just having an NPC with the party

teal temple
edgy onyx
#

Definitely! Rules don't change based on the number of players!

simple wadi
teal temple
#

That sounds like 3E.

As to whether you need a newer version, depends on what rules are being used. If you join a 3E table, it's perfect. If you join a 5E table, you want a newer rulebook.

#

One nice thing about 5E is you can learn with the free rules and if (when?!) ready, you can buy a PH for additional rules and character options.

Yo, I'm fairly new to dnd, but want to try DMing and have some questions for the experienced ones here.

Never played a game before myself, but have watched a lot of content (critical role etc.) And read the basic manuals. What else do you think qualifies as minimum requirements before starting, referring to the purely gameplay technical side of things.

If a focus on the gameplay technical side, isa flawed approach, where should one put ones focus instead in order to be reasonably prepared to lead a campaign?

You can either grab LMOP or use Phandelver and Below which contains Lost Mines

or am i scamming myself haha

cerulean sinew

#

Honestly Lost Mines if quite a solid starting adventure, It has a bit everything.

cerulean sinew
#

im like brand brand new

short marsh
#

Phandelver and Belows Contains Lost Mines of Phandelver (1-5) and if you want it continues to 10 with Mindflayers and the farm realm coming into the picture. HOW EVER The shattered Oblisk (pt 2 of that) Isnt as good I dont recomend running that, Stick to Lost mines Imho

cerulean sinew

or should i stay away from that as a inexperienced player and dm

short marsh
#

I just got that actully, Youll have some work cut out for you since its a Sandbox and requires more Work on the Dm And its not the Most Newplayer Friendly

If you want some practice Dragon of Icespire Peak is a sandbox as well with a quest system thats easy to follow, (and dragon)

It is, Its very Fairy Tailish so Its more for fun then a serious oneshot

#

THey are the same just different styles.
You have Liniar Campangs and Sandbox campangs

cerulean sinew
#

ah

#

I think for the first one im def gonna try smthn more liniar

#

and lastely if u dont mind i saw that the lost mines were for like 6 players does that count the dm?

#

like 1 dm 5 adventures sorry kinda a dumb question

#

or 1 dm 6 players

short marsh
#

Adventures are generaly balanced for 4-6 players Not including the dm

#

Lost mines can give you some experiance, mainly chapters 2-3 can be run at the same time opening up the moduel and allowing your players freedom to do sidequests and Get clues to find Gundram I would Recomend Looking at Adventure Spoilers for tips and tricks or asking more spesics there than here

cerulean sinew
#

fs

#

also how would you go around 7 players

short marsh
#

Dont

cerulean sinew
#

likd would i add monsters

#

cuz one of my friends invited somebody

short marsh
#

7 players would only make sense if your playing a Meatgrinder, here, You can add additional Monsters *7 monsters-7 players

#

Honestly I would start small and work your way up, Your the Dm, you are allowed to say No.

#

For LMOP you wont need to change much really as allot of combat encounters can devolve into slug fests and Well Extream Danger. Just ask one of my players form last weekend who jumped into Shark infested water and Almsot died

Can I use magical tinkering to make a copper coin look like a platinum coin and pay with it? Or a gold coin whatever I need to pay at the moment

But isn't that the point of magical tinkering? For they eyes of the unwary.. I have a platinum coin in my hand

Npc or the other players don't know that

hearty escarp
hearty escarp
#

If you're not actually telling the DM what you're planning to do, you can't expect the world to react in a way that matches the plan.

leaden grove
#

The plan was to spend 1 copper instead of a gold 😅 and keep my money

hearty escarp
#

Right. And as far as the DM is concerned, you spent a gold, not a copper.

#

It's the same as rolling a die, getting a 8 and lying that you got a nat 20 instead

leaden grove
#

That's why I'm asking should the DM know? Can I just reveal later after the transaction so then the NPC will never find out?

hearty escarp
#

I answered you

#

Trying to trick the other people at the table in such a way as to get an ingame benefit is adversarial play and may destroy trust.

ornate kiln
#

Hiding things from the DM or lying to them is not how the game works

leaden grove
#

Ok I guess the dm should know my intentions, then it's up to the NPC /dm ask for a deception check or do nothing

#

Either way, it seems to be allowed to cheat coins with magical tinkering then

hearty escarp
#

Yep. I'd describe exactly what you're trying to do and what class feature you're using to make it work.

#

A static visual effect appears on one of the object’s surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.

It's a visual effect and that would work fine personally, if the person doesn't inspect it closely.

#

Since it's just a visual effect though, a crafty merchant may instead feel with their hands that the coin is copper instead of gold.

Hey all! I've bought the 2024 PHB cause im starting to learn more and more.

I've decided not to use paper character sheets since my handwriting is atrocious, so i want to use either my phone or a tablet as my sheet while playing. But when i look on roll20 or dndbeyond as a fighter i can only choose 4 fighting styles, while in the PHB there's way more styles. Does anyone know why?

crisp crystal
#

dnd beyond requires you to purchase every book individually iirc

#

so whichever one added more fighting styles is the one you need to purchase

glad night
#

Hmm, that would mean i'd have to buy the PHB digitally again if i want to use a digital character sheet like on their site. That kinda sucks but i guess that makes sense

#

then i'll figure something else out regarding digital sheets

crisp crystal
#

the website likely still checks for the older books when attempting to pull infor for character creation

#

i use the app "fifth edition character sheet" on my phone

#

it has all of the relevant information and processes for 5e. and you can just make edits to the sheet in regards to 2024

I think in roll20 in particular you can also learn how to add any of the features you might want yourself, since the sheets are a bit more modular than what you get with ddbeyond.-

I don't think Roll20 has a dedicated app, so you'll need to use the browser version, which might be inconvenient on a small screen

Infusing an Item
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a non-magical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item.

Battle Ready
When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.

# crisp crystal I thought you purchased it digitaly. You need to purchase them through the roll2...

BTW, this is true of pretty much all online platforms.

The best online investment can be one you use the most but for me, there is no substitute to a D&D Beyond digital purchase. I use it for both online and in person and while they are third party, there are a number of third party plugins available and usually free that will allow you to output a lot of Beyond info to many popular platforms including Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, and Foundry. Beyond also has some of the vest access if you will be doing both as most online platforms are harder to access your stuff for in person play. You still would not own it in the specific software, but it is by far the best investment for players if playing online or online and in person.

# lyric fjord Question about combat, if you get surprised do you roll initiative?

Yes you would. The specifics differ by version.

In 2014 any surprised creature would be unable to move or take actions/bonus actions on their turn, and couldn’t use reactions until after their turn passed, at which point the surprised condition would end.

In 2024 the surprised condition just gives disadvantage on initiative rolls; a creature can otherwise act normally on the first turn of combat

Those are the 3 books that the released newer versions of last year, so whether or not the ones you have are up-to-date would depend on which version you bought

timid locust

If you've got the 2024 editions of those three, they should be more than enough to run/play the game for years to come. Some older books like Monsters of the Multiverse or Bigby Presents Giants add additional player/DM options, but are all optional

I mean, I don't agree with that. Absent of all other factors, I do think the 2024 rules are better for beginners to learn. Two main reasons: 1) Its specifically designed to be easier for beginners to understand 2) Its the current version of the game, which means as time goes on it will be more popular and more people will play it, which means at some point you'll have to make the switch. Learning the old rules first means double the work

At its basic level, the DM tells you what your characters see/experience, and you say what your character does. If something comes up like combat, Initiative is used and it is resolved in a turn-based way. If someone wants to attack someone, like with a sword or a crossbow or a spell throwing a mote of fire, that involves an Attack roll. Certain other offensive things can force Saving Throws, like a Fireball being more about the targets trying to not get hurt too bad than the aim of the caster.
And similarly, when it comes to things like sneaking, pickpocketing, feats of athleticism, knowledge recollection (like if your character knows the obscure lore of mummies from that one region in that empire 500 years ago, that you as players wouldn't have been infodumped on), medicinal knowledge, and charismatic efforts, you'd make an Ability Check to see how that goes.

It's collaborative roleplaying/storymaking/telling, with rules in place to make it consistent so it's not just "I hit you" "no you didn't" "i have an anti-sword shield"

the dnd bot

topaz garnet
#

So when someone wants to, say, attack the goblin with magic - they have to be a character that, in the rules, has access to magic, like a Wizard. And if they, say, use the Fire Bolt cantrip (cantrips are spells but easy to cast so you can spam it forever theoretically, not limited by any limited per-day resource), then they'd make an Attack roll, using their bonus to hit with spell attacks, against that goblin's AC. If their attack roll total meets or beats that goblin's AC, they hit the goblin with that fire bolt, and the rules that ensue such as the damage Fire Bolt deals.

There's one way I know of which is using an old Avrae alias/extension which uses very specific commands and integration. Not advised.

My favorite advice is that it's much more helpful to understand an NPC, a setting (town, forrest etc), or anything else than it is to have a script written in stone for it. It's basic advice, but my #1 of the day I guess. Know a bit about what drives your NPCs and what they want/feel, know in general for whatever setting the vibes and in general what an average day there could look like maybe. If you're able to learn those things, it'll help you massively when your players inevitably (and probably quickly) drive off of your script if you have one.

# toxic charm can someone explain the class details whats hit point die

Hit Point Dice is essentially what helps determine your HP.

A level 5 barbarian has a total of 5d12 hit point dice. As they levelled up their HP increased, whether they chose to roll their HP past 1st level or take the average values.
A level 5 cleric would have 5d8, on the other hand, less total HP.
