I’m sorta a newcomer, I find being a player better than being a DM and I use dnd beyond. Are purchasing books on dnd beyond a good idea if I want certain subclasses?

classCleric Cleric

Invoke divine magic to heal, bolster, and smite
Clerics draw power from the realms of the gods and harness it to work miracles. Blessed by a deity, a pantheon, or another immortal entity, a Cleric can reach out to the divine magic of the Outer Planes—where gods dwell—and channel it to bolster people and battle foes.

ight

wheat crystal
#

That’s the command, though I do suggest swapping Strength and Dex if you don’t want to play a melee-oriented cleric

slate bolt
#

yeah il swap

#

wait no, my domain is forge, witch is kinda melee oriented

#

which*

minor mason

wheat crystal
#

I agree with Belphégor. In my opinion the 8 should be in Charisma instead

#

Dex is important for initiative and Dex saves which are more common than Cha saves

slate bolt
#

okay il swap those

steep citrus
#

guys how many spells does wizards know? is it 20? and what spells do yall recommend

wheat crystal
#

Their spells known is determined by:

  • Their class level
  • if they have scribed any spells they find into their spell book
#

Their number of spells they can prepare is determined by their class level, as per the Wizard class table

steep citrus
#

oops sorry yeah hi we're doing lvl 8

#

lvl 8 wizard order of the scribe

wheat crystal
#

2014 or 2024 version of 5e?

steep citrus
#

5e 2014 i think

wheat crystal
#

Ah ok my answer slightly changes then, your spells prepared will instead be equal to your Int modifier + your Wizard level

steep citrus
#

so how many spells am i getting

wheat crystal
#

As per the link above at base you’ll have a total of 20 spells, at least 6 of which will be 1st level as you thought earlier

steep citrus
#

so its 6 lvl and +2 every lvl?

wheat crystal
#

Yup, +2 of a level you can cast specifically

steep citrus
#

ooh... what do u recommend for me

wheat crystal
#

For level 1 spells specifically I recommend:

  • Mage Armor
  • Shield
  • Magic Missile
    After that it’s up to you, though I recommend grabbing 1 offensive and 1 defensive / utility option per spell level including cantrips
#

Given you’re a scribes wizard I recommend grabbing spells of diverse damage types so you can swap damage types around

steep citrus
#

ooh alright, also this is what my friend said (tmr is my first ever dnd game!!)
I’m going Kenku Sorcerer/Warlock
Xzavier is a Half Orc Ranger
Colin’s a Cleric Satyr (?)
You already know what Jericho is (rogue bard)
Crafts a Satyr Ranger
Owen’s some sort of Barbarian
Mr. Delange is doing warlock

#

should i use blade ward?

hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

(i scrapped my ranger character)

wheat crystal
#

Blade ward is nice in an emergency imo

#

But if you think it fits your character get it!

hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

oh wait xzavier is using bloodsinger well at least theres not much combat so im good

hearty blaze
#

And very cool thematically

steep citrus
#

OK i'll be back with umm 20 spells i want to use and yes

hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

oops i meant blood hunter

hearty blaze
#

Ohhhh

steep citrus
#

he says it's the "most complex class" 🙄

#

in session zero he pulled two toraz or how ever u spell it

hearty blaze
#

It’s… possibly? It’s not in the official handbook so I can’t recall all its features.

steep citrus
#

im pretty sure its a homebrew

hearty blaze
#

It’s Critical Role

#

It’s not on the players handbook

#

So yeah

hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

also question... the other guy told me to pick atk/def/util spells one by one until i reach lvl 20, and ik i'll have 6 of each, but what do i do with the 2? should i pick atk or def

hearty blaze
#

Up to you

#

Whichever looks cool

#

Or seems useful

steep citrus
#

yeah omg it was a tarrasque

hearty blaze
#

WTF

#

WDYM

wheat crystal
#

Yeah I’m not sure they’re playing blood hunter correctly 😅

steep citrus
#

let me ask him 😉

hearty blaze
#

A Tarrasque is literally strong enough to be a threat to some lvl 20 players

#

It’s pretty iconic for being powerul

#

Not something a player can summon

#

Or should be facing if they’re low or even mid levels

steep citrus
#

evan is our dm and he was talking bad about one of the torz so ms.craft was like hey dont diss our terry

#

ughhh i should have paid more attention in sesh 0

hearty blaze
#

What level do yall start at?

steep citrus
#

we all do 8

wheat crystal
#

If I had to guess there’s a fair amount of rule misinterpreting on if a player is summoning a Tarrasque at level 8

hearty blaze
#

Yeah not Tarrasque level, I’m really hoping you misheard

wheat crystal
#

There’s only a single item in the game that can summon one, and that’s (technically) campaign specific

hearty blaze
#

Which one?

wheat crystal
#

IIRC it’s in Rime of the Frostmaiden

hearty blaze
#

Ah Wish

#

Oh? I don’t even know that one.

wheat crystal
#

I won’t say more since it’s adventure spoilers but yeah

hearty blaze
#

Anywho, you shouldn’t even be in a 10000 km distance of a Tarrasque until like lvl 14 minimum

steep citrus
#

AH i can ask heather

#

what is wild magic

echo kelp
#

A feature of wild magic sorcerers

steep citrus
#

heather said he used that

hearty blaze
#

A subclass feature where a random series of events occur after you cast a spell

steep citrus
wheat crystal
#

They’re homebrewing or getting false information then. Blood Hunter doesn’t get Wild Magic

steep citrus
#

what about ranger cuz heather thought he was a ranger until now

wheat crystal
#

Wild Magic (subclass) Sorcerer’s Wild Magic (feature) gives a table of possible results, not completely random

echo kelp
wheat crystal
#

And no, the only other class that has a Wild Magic subclass is Barbarian, which has a much more limited table than Sorcerer’s

#

A good way to sus out false information is to ask the relevant player what book and page they’re getting X feature from, handles 99% of cases in my experience

hearty blaze
#

Just read over the wild magic table, you DEFINITELY cannot summon a Tarrasque

steep citrus
#

i'll ask once he gets on cuz i def overheard terry jerry the toraz

wheat crystal
#

Yeah the only summonable creatures by 2014 wild magic sorcerer are Modrons, Flumphs, and Unicorns

hearty blaze
#

Yup

#

Read over it twice
Definitely no Tarrasques

#

It’d have to be homebrew, and that is some VERY concerning homebrew if it were true

sterile forge
#

hi there

hearty blaze
#

Wazzup

#

Nugget player service, how may I help you today?

#

Alternately, any specific questions can be asked here

steep citrus
#

yeah no ones answering and heathers in a game rn i'll just go back to my spell picking 💔

hearty blaze
sterile forge
#

whats heathers?

hearty blaze
#

Their friend

steep citrus
#

OH YES Sylas answered

hearty blaze
#

I think

hearty blaze
sterile forge
#

ah heather. apostraphe didnt register

steep citrus
#

yeah there were two toraz terry and jerry, and techincally it was one at a time, in each plane, and he tamed it, and it WAS an accident with wild magic

echo kelp
#

Let's keep the random peoples names chatter out of this - please focus on actual D&D questions

wheat crystal
steep citrus
#

wait so there should be 20 spells WITH cantrips included?

wheat crystal
#

yeah whoops misread I meant 20 spells not including cantrips

steep citrus
#

cuz im looking at "Friends" right now and i dont think id need a cha as a wizard do i

wheat crystal
#

known cantrips are separate from your known spells

#

You don't strictly need charisma no

steep citrus
wheat crystal
#

If you feel it would fit!

hearty blaze
wheat crystal
#

As a level 8 Wizard you'd actually get 4 cantrips

steep citrus
#

oh gosh, i just read the whole thing... so you make it friendly, and then they realized that they were used so they get mad at u

wheat crystal
hearty blaze
#

I stand corrected
The more you know

wheat crystal
#

If Asmodeus showed up and you can see him and there's a clear path, then yeah you can cast it on him.

#

But at that point you probably have bigger concerns 😅

steep citrus
#

okay, thoughts on infestation?

hearty blaze
#

It’s a spell

#

That’s all I can say

steep citrus
#

i dont think it would be a good one for big monsters

hearty blaze
#

Constitution saves are usually pretty strong, so it’s just alright

#

Not great

#

Though u can use it on friends to break them out of grapples

steep citrus
#

crossing THAT out 🤧

hearty blaze
#

If you say so.

#

Usually worth it, just saying

#

What class are you again?
And what cantrips have you chosen?

steep citrus
#

Okay im done!

#

CANTRIPS

  • Blade Ward/Mending
  • Friends!
  • True Strike
  • Mind Silver
#

Also question, it says true strike gives me advantage on my next atk, but what is the advantage usually/

sterile forge
#

roll 2d20, take the higher number

wheat crystal
#

Advantage is a mechanic applied to a d20 Test (attack roll, saving throw, or skill check), where in you roll for the check twice and take the higher number. See here.

does my ac increase if i am prof with heavy armor?

okay

Hey everyone, so I've played 2 DnD games in my life, one in person and one online. I have a sudden urge to play some more and need some directions. Thnx

steep citrus
hearty blaze
#

Idk what type of directions you mean, so here are some options

wheat crystal
proper shadow
hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

i have no clue why i used fariy as my race and i chose brownie smell for the traits

#

maybe sage is a better pick for me

hearty blaze
steep citrus
hearty blaze
#

Those are your spell slots

#

Meaning you can cast 4th level spells twice per ping rest, 2nd and 3rd level spells thrice, and 1st level spell 4 times.

#

The cantrips mean you know 4 cantrips

sterile forge
#

ping rest

hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

so when im choosing my spells since Im only at lvl 8 i can choose up to 16 for 1,2,3 and 4 for 4th level?

steep citrus
hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

ugh okay

#

omg my character is gonna be so cute she's gonna be those apprentice rookie mages that's kinda bum at her wizarding job but somehow uses powerful magic

woeful veldt
#

can anyone explain to me how 2 create a character for a campaign

hearty blaze
woeful veldt
#

like, what do I even do and stuff I should be avoiding

woeful veldt
hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

can i use cause fear on a toraz or zeus

wheat crystal
#

Not sure what monster you mean by a Zeus but if you still mean Tarrasque by “Toraz” then no

#

Tarrasque is immune to the frightened condition

wheat crystal
steep citrus
#

I have a question about the skill sleep.. it says i gotta roll 5d8 and the total is hp this creature can affect?i dont get it

main fulcrum
#

The spell works based on the hp of the target. You roll a total, then if the target has less HP than that they fall asleep

#

If there's more than one target, you subtract HP from your total each time and then keep going until you don't have enough left over

smoky adder
#

“Skill” has a very specific meaning in D&D, btw.

#

?tag new skills

exotic remnantBOT
#

Skill Proficiencies

Most ability checks involve using a skill. The skills are shown on the Skills table, which notes example uses for each skill proficiency as well as the ability check the skill most often applies to. The DM has the ultimate say on whether a skill is relevant in a situation.

If a creature is proficient in a skill, the creature applies its Proficiency Bonus to ability checks involving that skill. Without proficiency in a skill, a creature can still make ability checks involving that skill but doesn’t add its Proficiency Bonus.

hearty blaze
steep citrus
#

what if a monster is like 30 hp and i roll a 25

main fulcrum
#

Then nothing happens

steep citrus
#

dang thats kinda sucky

#

about slots, im picking 20 magics but how many slots do i get? what even are they

hearty blaze
#

Are you familiar with mana?

lucid plaza
#

Sup

hearty blaze
#

Spell slots is like the mana you can use for each level of spell. 1st level spell slots can be used to cast first level spells, 2nd level spell slots can be used for second level etc.
you cannot use, say, a fourth level spell slots to cast a 1st level spell unless you UPCAST it, which some spells let you do to improve its effect

Nope, a healing elixir is not a spell

#

That’s a potion

steep citrus
#

You create a healing elixir in a simple vial that appears in your hand. The elixir retains its potency for the duration or until it’s consumed, at which point the vial vanishes.

As an action, a creature can drink the elixir or administer it to another creature. The drinker regains 2d4 + 2 hit points.

I did read over the rules and did a character roll, but i think im a little to dense to figure some stuff out here on my own 😄 hopefully the local game shop doesnt mind when i go on their New to D&D nights lol cause im gonna be such a deer in the headlights kinda guy there lol

I can't imagine a shop that hosts a "new to D&D night" will be annoyed by questions!

solemn oasis

yeah they offer character creation - one shot lessons to get you into it...but you gotta RSVP 😄

#

Does the diety I select for my cleric determine my characters alingment?

harsh fjord

That's for you and the DM to hash out. I'd say those things are related at least.

slate bolt
#

Okay

#

What happens when I am proficient in an armor set and a weapon?

solemn oasis
#

Doesnt that mean you can use that set or weapon type?

harsh fjord
#

If you wear Light, Medium, or Heavy armor and lack training with it, you have Disadvantage on any D20 Test that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can’t cast spells.

As for weapons you're not proficient in, you don't add your proficiency bonus when making an attack with them.

slate bolt
#

Okay

harsh fjord
#

So you can use them, just not effectively.

Hi, I'm new to playing a rogue and wanted to ask with the true strike cantrip am I understanding it right that you basically do turns as use action - true strike, next turn attack repeat in a loop usually?

timid locust
cinder zephyr
#

we are playing with the 2024 rules by default

timid locust
#

The way you described it makes it seem like it's the old version, which gives your next attack Advantage.

That's no longer the case. If your game is using the current rules, the new True Strike works completely differently.

#

Legacy backgrounds must still be linked to legacy spells on DnD Beyond, which is a coding error. If you're using the 2024 rules and something grants you True Strike, it'll grant you the spell linked above.

cinder zephyr
#

the one im using reads as "You point a finger at a target in range. Your magic grants you a brief insight into the target's defenses. On your next turn, you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target, provided that this spell hasn't ended."

timid locust
#

Indeed, that one is no longer available to players using the new rules.
-# Note: the new True Strike is way, way, way better.

cinder zephyr
#

I am using the cultist background from crooked moon to take warlock initiate which I was told is up to date for 2024

timid locust
#

Technically, the entire Crooked Moon supplement is homebrew.

#

So the cultist background and warlock initiate are not RAW.

cinder zephyr
#

Yeah I did wonder if that caused an issue on some level

timid locust
#

They're likely coded incorrectly on the website because of it.

cinder zephyr
#

I just assumed as I read it was all designed / updated for 2024 the background would use current version of spells etc

#

Is there a good way to remedy this, like I assume I can just seperately add in the correct new version on my sheet?

#

saying that I get "You do not have spellcasting or pact magic spells to manage. The spells that appear for your character were gained through other class features, species traits, feats, or items." probably due to rogue's not naturally having cantrips

#

The new one does make more sense as I was really confused how people were doing both in one turn with the old one

timid locust
#

I unfortunately couldn't say how to make it work on the website, as I don't use DnD Beyond. I'd check in with #ddb-support .

cinder zephyr
#

Will do, appreciate the help and all the clarifications on getting this far! EDIT: (it turns out I was just a dummy and could pick the newer version, woops!)

#

Not sure if this is also right to ask here but would this would in tandem with true stike or would one completely overwrite the other?

#

Sneak Attack: Venomous Strike (Special)

When you deal Sneak Attack, you can choose to deal 2d8 Poison damage instead of 2d6 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon.

ornate kiln
#

this works with true strike no problem. you make an attack with a weapon as part of true strike after all

cinder zephyr
#

Right thank you for clarifying so in the case of the damage type when apply this would you choose then from regular, radiant and poison damage? In regards to the latter would the poison damage from something like this always poison the target barring immunities or resistances?

ornate kiln
#

poison damage does not automatically poison the target

cinder zephyr
#

right I need to read up how that works as I've never used posion anything before

#

was I correct in the assumption that when using this in conuction with true strike I would chose from on of the 3 types of damage?

ornate kiln
#

where is that feature from anyway? I'm not familiar:

cinder zephyr
#

arachnoid stalker from Valda's Spire of secrets

#

Combining it with the silkborn race from crooked moon to fully embrace the spider thing

ornate kiln
#

ahh

#

okay from your quote I thought it was limited to changing 2 dice

cinder zephyr
#

Honestly being so new to it all I wasn't 100% sure of how it was all working mechanically

ornate kiln
#

however, poison damage is only sneak attack, not the weapon damage

cinder zephyr
#

right I see, so is there much benefit to still use true strike over the (d8 sneak attack dice) from venomous strike outside of things being immune or resistance?

ornate kiln
#

you can do true strike for the weapon damage (and extra damage of the spell itself once you hit level 5) and still replace sneak attack damage with poison

cinder zephyr
#

right I see so it does true strike first for weapon damage and then you apply the sneak after as a seperate instance of damage

#

thanks for helping me understand so I can avoid causing confusion mid combat

You… sure you want more support? That’s more utility spells than I’ve seen on any other wizard.

#

Yeah, I’d even argue you’re LACKING damaging spells

#

But anywho, enlarge/reduce and enhance ability maybe?

Haste is always good too

In terms of healing, there’s no healing

How do enemies work? For example a basic zombie

As in how to play & make a character? Check out the basic rules in this channel’s pins as well as #learn-to-play

#

How does going about combat work?

wheat crystal
# kind spoke How do enemies work? For example a basic zombie

All monsters have a statblock that shows their statistics, features, and attacks.

It’s going to be a little hard to go right off the bat detailing what each part of the Zombie stat block does without just going through the 1st chapter of the Basic Rules section

wheat crystal
gilded void
#

Idk how to really go about puzzles since i haven't done like. an actual actual campaign before but i have some cool ideas

wheat crystal
#

The general order will go:

  1. The DM determines combat should start.
  2. All participants roll initiative.
  3. Participants take their turn in initiative order
    3a) Participants may act outside their turn using features that allow it (e.g. Reactions, Legendary Actions)
  4. The round ends when the last person initiative goes, and a new round begins.
  5. Repeat step 3 until the DM determines combat ends, most often when one side is either dead or fleeing.

Also, make sure that campaign follows the server rules about "D&D vs. non-D&D" games since you said it was Marvel themed

I’m working on a homebrew-friendly interactive character sheet for modern/“Here & Now” style D&D campaigns.

Right now it tracks things like stats, XP, abilities, and a few sample spells. Eventually, I hope to make it Discord- and phone-friendly, so players can update their characters remotely and GMs can send messages securely.

I’m not sharing the code or photos here — just curious if this concept sounds interesting to you!

Lol Soo ive never played, and we set a date to try and start playing and im just a player not dm but like what should i realistically expect or do to prepare like i just made a simple character sheet

hearty blaze
#

Learn the rules first

wintry goblet
#

Bre

hearty blaze
#

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I recommend just learning how to make a character, basic ability checks, modifiers, core gameplay, classes and combat.
And of course, if you have any specific questions, please ask away! This channel is meant for it, and there are plenty of great people who should be willing to help you.

wintry goblet
#

Ya so im supposed to play like a healer role so what would be best and i would probably be like solo healer cuz we only 3 like what do you recommend

hearty blaze
#

Cleric

#

Clerics are the single best sustain units in the game, and it’s not even close

#

They are priests or individuals who gain power from a God or a godly domain (war, life, twilight, light, death)

#

If you want a buffing cleric, I’d recommend the Peace Domain cleric subclass.
If you want healing, Life Domain is perfect.
If you want to lead the party, I’d recommend Order Cleric
If you hate dying and like fire, I’d recommend Forge Cleric
If you hate your dungeon master, I’d recommend a Twilight Cleric

wintry goblet
#

Wait wym hate your dungeon master how bad is that one 😂

hearty blaze
#

Oh, it’s not bad.
It’s absurdly good.

#

It’s so good at keeping the party alive that it removes the danger from a lot of encounters, which is very frustrating for DMs to balance the difficulty of

#

Because if this, the Twilight Domain Cleric is often discouraged or banned at tables in comparison to other subclasses.

wintry goblet
#

Well damn

hearty blaze
#

Also, don’t focus on being just a healer. That limits your options and your creativity.

#

Well, I should rephrase

#

Don’t feel like you are LIMITED to just the role of a healer. If you want to be a heal bot that flips off death herself, go ahead and take Life Cleric. It’s my favourite Cleric Domain for a reason.

wintry goblet
#

That cool but i was thinking maybe one that is also useful in like other stuff like not just in fighting but maybe like detective type character ig or idk if thats a thing

hearty blaze
#

So utility? Knowledge Domain cleric or a Bard sounds perfect for you then.

#

Bards lean heavily into utility, support and non-combat encounters/scenarios, but don’t offer the same sustain as clerics.

wintry goblet
#

Got it and a domain cleric can still focus on both

hearty blaze
#

Knowledge Domain Cleric is based around gaining various skill proficiencies and tool proficiencies, offering a large variety of versatile options. It also has mind reading. And it’s still a cleric, so it can heal.

wintry goblet
#

Sickkk

hearty blaze
#

Also, the observant feat, when paired with a high wisdom or intelligence stat can make for a passive investigation and perception of over 20 respectively

#

Granted it requires some setup

#

But it does allow you to Sherlock Holmes your way through a case without needing to roll high

wintry goblet
#

Cuz that also boosts your passive stats.

#

At lvl 4, assuming you somehow have both feats and have a 16 or 17 in intelligence or wisdom, you’d have a passive investigation or perception score of 22 respectively

wintry goblet
#

Ok so during game focus on that

hearty blaze
#

Yes

wintry goblet
#

Ya im trying to do that rn on the website

hearty blaze

Feel free to ask us for support

Ya how do i put what you just said on there basically lmaoo

hearty blaze
#

You can’t, you gotta buy the online book first

#

So unfortunately you’re gonna struggle there

minor mason
#

I think Life Cleric is the subclass available there

#

You don't need to buy anything until you've already played some games and you decide that it's the hobby for you

~~However, neither version of the plane shift spell specifies the tuning fork must be attuned to the specific plane you're trying to teleport to.

  • In 2014 it's "attuned to a particular plane of existence"
  • In 2024 it's "attuned to a plane of existence."
    I assume based off the DMG passages the intent is that the tuning fork would be attuned to the plane or demiplane you're trying to access but it's technically just a suggestion.~~ Ignore this.
sand sparrow
wheat crystal
#

There isn't a rule process either for "tuning a fork to a plane" so it's DM fiat as to how it works

#

Hold on, re-read the relevant DMG passages

sand sparrow
#

Ah I'll probably ask the DM, I don't wanna mess up a big spell like that

wheat crystal
#

Curse the disorganization of the 2014 DMG

#

Alright so:

  • In 2024 yes but there is an implication that you need a tuning fork attuned to that specific demiplane. It's not hard-coded in the rules however as the DMG section on Planar Travel (DMG p.176) and the spell itself (PHB p.305) both don't directly specify it as a strict requirement.
  • In 2014 yes but you do explicitly need a tuning fork attuned to the target plane (DMG p.46). The tuning fork also "must be made of the right material" and have the "proper resonating frequency" but which material and which frequency exactly is up to the DM.
hearty blaze
#

Well, I learnt something today

sand sparrow
#

So it's kinda up to the DM to decide if he let's me attune a turning fork to my or mabye someone elses demiplane so that plane shift can travel?

Yeah pretty much

I would also recommend checking out #channel-guide if you are confused about what channel is meant for what.

Please remember to adhered to server rules and stay respectful at all times. Heads up: if someone randomly privately messages you regarding a commission for any purpose, this is a common scam and you should heed caution.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I recommend just learning how to make a character, basic ability checks, modifiers, core gameplay, classes and combat.

sterile forge
#

ooof

ornate kiln
#

ah it seems the class boards are only fighter, rogue, wizard and cleric.

#

still, if you are already familiar with the rules, the DM could just allow you to bring a regular character sheet

fleet isle
#

Im stick on the wording gor lightning launcher

wheat crystal
#

What seems to be the issue?

fleet isle
#

it deals 1d6 lightning damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with it, you can deal an extra 1d6 lightning damage to that target.

#

Can I choose to have it deal 2 d 6 next time I shoot it

#

Never mind I read it wrong

#

That is what it’s saying

#

Does it stack?

wheat crystal
#

As in 2d6 —> 3d6 —> 4d6 etc? No

ornate kiln
#

okay lets say you hit twice on your turn, then one of those can do 2d6+mod instead of 1d6+mod damage

#

if you only hit once, then that hit can do 2d6+mod damage

#

nothing more

fleet isle
#

So if I hit it once, and then hit it again on my next turn

lean vortex
#

Both are 2d6+mod

fleet isle
#

It can still do 2d6 or does it have to be with multi attack

lean vortex
#

Key word for this is 'once per turn' multiattack is the same turn. Waiting for your next turn is 2 different turns

ornate kiln
#

yeah ever time your turn comes around, you can boost the damage of one hit with the launcher

fleet isle
#

Cool

#

That helps

The core rules come with the core classes. Each class gets a subclass at level 3. The free rules provide a free subclass for each class. If you want access to more player options (such as more subclasses) you or your group buy the books that provide that.

#

12 in the free rules, artificer is the 13th class but is not in the free rules

reef knoll
#

what about blood hunter does that count?

reef knoll
echo kelp
#

That's thirdparty - it's not guaranteed to be allowed at every D&D game table

reef knoll
#

oh .

lost silo
#

that is not an official class. that would be a 14th class that comes from a sub set of books that are approved by WoTC but not official

reef knoll
#

so i just made really cool character that may or may not be allowed 😭

#

i mean i use dnd beyond to create characters soo

#

umm

lost silo
#

many tables will be ok with it

reef knoll
#

yea

#

idk what other character should i make every character i make feels boring ..

lost silo
#

just no guarantee

reef knoll
#

i made a tabaxi i made a wizard even a owl but owl cant be used in normal sessions and wizard and tabaxi got bored real fast

There is an owl race! its called owlin :)

#

wait soo as far i tried sorcerer warlock wizard and fighter.

#

i tried to make a elemental monk but i didnt finish it

#

What is it that you think made them feel boring? it might just be that dnd isnt your thing at the end of the day

reef knoll
#

i dont like ranger.. idk why bur terraria made me hate rangers for some reason lol

#

From what I know, could I recommend path of vengeance paladin?

lost silo
#

it sounds like maybe the tables you played at didn't give you the place or time to truly play out the characters

reef knoll
hearty blaze
#

If your aren’t using am your other characters, just replace them

#

Or make another account

#

Btw, what do you value in a character

#

Power? Support? Edginess? Depth? Conviction? Utility? Throwing hands? Simplicity? Complexity?

reef knoll
#

uhh

#

i havent really tought of that

#

maybee power idk

hearty blaze
#

Then wizards and sorcerers would be good, but you don’t seem to enjoy them…

reef knoll
#

yea .

hearty blaze
#

I think you just weren’t able to fully explore any class tbh

reef knoll
#

i before really liked magic but now it doesent seem to be the same..

hearty blaze
#

May I ask why?

reef knoll
#

yea maybe cuz i didnt really get to play with em bc i couldnt find any session

i played once westmarchets but that didnt help as much

Well, so far I’m seeing the classic case of ENC

Which isn’t purely a bad thing, and easily curable

Hello I’ve only ever listened to dnd campaigns and my cousin mentioned wanting to play a campaign for my nephews so I volunteered to dm since I’m the only one that’s ever even consumed any dnd content about 20 campaigns ( mostly dropout ) but confused on a couple things, I’m wanting to start them at level 5 and confused on making characters sheets

brave glacier
#

how do i import my character from the d&d beyond to discord

echo kelp
#

Are you using Avrae? You'd use the Avrae !import url of character sheet

brave glacier
#

how do i get the url of character sheet because all i keep seeing is the pdf

echo kelp
#

Open up the character sheet in DnDBeyond via the website

#

The URL will look like https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/# where # is the ID of your character

hearty blaze
wheat crystal
#

I'd recommend starting at level 1 for newbies, level 5 characters have significantly more build decisions and abilities

hearty blaze
#

I usually recommend lvl 2, because it introduces a tad more mechanics while still not being overly complex. Also it helps with them not dying in one hit

I just joined beyond

yo i just made a character for like basic campaigns to do whatever, one shots and such as well. i was wondering if anyone who's more experienced could go over the sheet and tell me if it's alright or not, and made sense in the dnd world

Hey umm I’ve played dnd a few times, but I’m not really familiar with it. Any advice?

Anyone?

How much of the Basic Rules have you read?

Where are they?

If something specific roadblocks you feel free to ask a question about it here

Tysm!

#

My friend’s starting a dnd club at our school, so I know the basics

silk moss
#

ok so i've been thinking about this

#

im a pretty big fan of Doki Doki Literature Club, hopefully you all know what that is

#

and it made me think about dnd at the same time, so i was wondering how Meta Mechanics would work in Homebrew DND campaigns

#

like, is there rules for them?

#

Hi. I’m super new to D&D and I just wanted to ramble about random ideas and questions that I have.
-# Please don’t eat me. /j

So, I had one idea in my head relating to a Bard with a possible background in Charlatan and I was wondering what races could really play well with a shameless conman?

I also had a few other ideas, but I wanna ask about that one first cause it sounds really fun to play.

Homebrew can be super underwhelming or super op

#

It's the opposite. Alignment is descriptive, not prescriptive. Your actions and worldview will help categorize you into one of the 9 alignments

#

If you use the alignment system at all; it's considered mostly vestigial now

#

So it’s given after the fact.

Pretty much

Hey, everyone! I just joined the server and while I'm not new to the concept, I'm quite inexperienced in D&D. I would love to meet new people here to discuss games and campaigns and eventually join one once I make sure I can be consistent with it :)

hearty blaze

Is there anything I can help you with today?

Thank you! Could you please give me some pointers as to integrate myself into the server better maybe?

hearty blaze
#

Well, there’s
#learn-to-play for rules
#find-a-game to look for games
#channel-guide to understand what each channel is for
Also remember to read server rules, stay respectful and report toxic behaviour. Also, be careful if you get an unwarranted dm that wants you to commission art. It’s a very common scam, and should such be reported unless you are very confident they are not.

hello is there any third party/cool classes like blood hunter

echo kelp
#

Yes - many. Some may not be free. You can check with folks in #third-party about which ones they like and why.

reef knoll
#

okay txh

#

thx

#

i found one third party class that sounds cool : Pale Master idk how to get it

#

and idk how to see all the third party classes

echo kelp
#

I'm not sure you can on DnDBeyond unless you've purchased the books they are in.
You could check DMsGuild for other options as well (they just won't be integrated into DnDBeyond)

reef knoll
#

and i found cool book for The Illrigger Class

#

lost silo

still sounds like a great thing to discuss over in #third-party

reef knoll

there no one there ..

lost silo
#

the intent of this channel is to help new folks with the basics. you are delving into the deep non-beginner ideas and concepts. Patience is needed with other channels, they will come alive soon enough. In the mean time use Google to research options. keeping in mind NO third party stuff is free and much of it isn't even avaialable on D&D Beyond without creating it manually in Homebrew which can be discussed in #homebrew

Hey guys! Thinking of getting my dm a dungeons master guide book. Not sure if I should go with the 2014 or 2024 edition. We are doing the witchlight carnival campaign if this helps decide?… and my monk character uses focus points instead of the ki points as well.

# peak venture Hey guys! Thinking of getting my dm a dungeons master guide book. Not sure if I ...

The 2014 DMG works great with most adventures like Witchlight, and tons of guides and tools online use it. Your DM probably already knows it well, so it’s easy to stick with. The downside is it doesn’t have any of the newer stuff, like updated class rules, so it might feel a bit behind if you’re leaning into the 2024 changes.

The 2024 DMG has all the new rules, like your Monk’s Focus Points, and it’s a solid pick if your group wants to move into the new edition. It’s probably cleaned up and better organized too. But since it’s so new, it might not match older adventures perfectly, and your DM might not be using it yet.
