D&D Next - 5e Discussion
Devabhumi is a campaign setting for 5e and Pathfinder inspired by the myths and legends of Ancient India. This campaign setting will take you to a distant place nestled in between the sea and sky-scraping mountains.

White Plume Mountain is an absolute classic Adventure for level 8 players; one that has been talked about for years and has been redone time and again. Heck, it was even ranked the 9th greatest *Dungeons & Dragons* adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004. This is the perfect Adventure for those of you who are looking for a bit of combat and a whole lot of puzzle! Three magical weapons have been stolen recently. Clues in the form of a poem lead those in power to believe the weapons have been brought to a volcano which was once the hideout of a powerful wizard named Keraptis. These are no mere magical weapons, but sentient artifacts. Can your players survive the perils of White Plume Mountain and retrieve them!? **Without further ado:** * Google Docs Notes for White Plume Mountain Part 1: [DM Notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TWT8t_A0-yFznd5TmZ8PNkQ_9929W-WWguUq7rlPzs8/edit?usp=sharing) * Link to: [White Plume Mountain Playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEcQghi84jJPD-GTzI8-HMHrwhcHdQzz&si=P8Zi-fIneQKNrQy3) * Link to: [The AAA Collection](https://www.patreon.com/posts/white-plume-part-104240285) **Included in The AAA Collection is:** * A Word document with all my notes including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights * Special PDF for all encounters.

I’m posting this because the DnD homebrew community is hosted on a different server than the rest of the RPG network, and some people might not know it exists. Universal link: !dndhomebrew@lemmy.world Alternate links: https://lemmyverse.link/c/dndhomebrew@lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/c/dndhomebrew https://ttrpg.network/c/dndhomebrew@lemmy.world DnDHomebrew is a community dedicated to sharing and giving feedback on homebrew material for DnD 5e. It doesn’t see regular activity, which is a nice change of pace from the UnearthedArcana subreddit (where low-quality AI-written homebrews are posted daily), but it can get a bit monotonous in the long run. I’ve tried keeping it active over the past few months, and there are other content creators sharing great pieces of homebrew, such as Consort’s [playable dragons](https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/11750175) and [magical items](https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/17459914). However, I’d love to see more activity from other users as well. Please join us if you feel like sharing your homebrew rules, classes or whatever, or if you'd like to spice your games with additional options!
Welcome back to **Advent's Amazing Advice!** The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fully fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! **Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk** stems from **The Lost Mine of Phandelver** a classic and beloved starter set that many new DMs run. Even with this being the most recent release it still has an issue, the same as with many others...it doesn't describe the best way to transform the book's contents into an actual session. The Book-to-session conversion can be difficult between figuring out when things should happen, understanding motivations, and even organizing encounters. **Well, fortunately for you, 99% of that work is done! Only a few things are really left:** * Read the book, I know surprising, but it can be extremely confusing when you don't know where everything leads to. * Consider the needs of your group. As you've heard or are about to hear a million times, every table is different. If you plan on combining this with a campaign, you'll have to make tweaks here and there. * These notes aren't meant to be the end-all-be-all. Tweak to your heart's content, and don't consider any of what's written to be set in stone. For me having notes like this helps give me the confidence to go off the rails and follow along with what my players want. It helps me understand where things were meant to go and why. Having that understanding allows me to guide the players and create other new and interesting stories. These are all things that will come with experience, though, so don't freak out and enjoy the journey! **Without further ado:** **Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Act 1** * Part 1 - [Intro and Cragmaw Hideout](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14FLoYb4eB5HCXjTsuCd8SXWV2BhxzWKD/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111017373176788623762&rtpof=true&sd=true) * Part 2a - [Phandalin](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rgrn8H-_Fm-hjnjGkiGx40qFk19D181k/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111017373176788623762&rtpof=true&sd=true) * Part 2b - [Redbrand Hideout](https://www.patreon.com/posts/phandelver-and-90881496) * Part 3a - [Reign of Iron](https://www.patreon.com/posts/phandelver-and-92415110) * Part 3b - [Thundertree](https://www.patreon.com/posts/phandelver-and-97364981) * Part 3c - [Cragmaw Castle](https://www.patreon.com/posts/phadnelver-and-98121643) * Part 4 - [Wave Echo Cave](https://www.patreon.com/posts/phandelver-and-4-99743424) * Part 5 - [Side Quests](https://www.patreon.com/posts/lost-mine-of-5-73089675) **Included in my posts are:** * A Word document for each part of Act 1 for Phandelver and Below with detailed notes for running a perfect session including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights * Special PDFs for every encounter. This includes all the enemies' stat blocks organized neatly along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP. * Additional PDFs for allies and commoners * A variety of maps for each part of the campaign * Spell lists for all relevant fights * Handouts for various spell scrolls throughout the campaign * A playlist for each section! **Over 5 dozen other Fully Prepped One-Shots, Adventures, and Campaigns:** [Click Here](https://www.patreon.com/posts/aaa-index-and-75432088) **Campaign Info:** As of today, I've officially completed Act One of Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk! I've also compiled all of my prep for it in a single easy-to-access post which is available to all my Heroes and Legends. You can find it [HERE!](https://www.patreon.com/posts/phandelver-and-1-89986845) I've discussed this on Discord as well as answered a few questions and thought I would clarify some information here; campaigns are super time intensive, so I have to choose wisely which ones I prep. The first half PaB:TSO is an updated version of The Lost Mine of Phandelver which I had already fully prepped; so, I thought I would go through all my prep and update it to match and help all those who are starting to run the campaign! I may one day prep the second half; however, I'm trying to focus on the more popular Campaigns such as Curse of Strahd, before I work on others. With what I've released, you'll have a great kickstart through most of the campaign and there are plenty of helpful members both on Reddit and on my Discord that can guide you along the rest of the way! I hope that with what I've prepped so far you can have a truly Amazing campaign!!! As always, if you see something you think I can improve, add, change, etc. please let me know.

For many years I've been pronouncing Sigil as Sij-ill, like the word sigil. Recently I read something in a post from WotC saying that it is pronounced sig-ill (hard G). This just sounded weird to me, so I am continuing to say it with a J sound. You know, like in GIF 😏 Anyway, are there any other names of things in D&D that made you go "huh?" when you heard the official pronunciation?

Welcome back to [**Advent's Amazing Advice!**](https://www.patreon.com/posts/aaa-index-and-75432088) The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fully fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! We're back at it again with another Fully Prepped Mini-Campaign; **Dragon of Icespire Peak**, A level 1-6 Adventure that's a bit frosty! This is part of the Essentials Kit; released between [Dragon of Stormwreck Isle](https://www.patreon.com/posts/dragons-of-isle-82050946) and [The Lost Mine of Phandelver](https://www.patreon.com/posts/lost-mine-of-1-70318521) all created by WoTC. Dragon of Icespire Peak is a bit different from the other two I've prepped; not only is it more of a sandbox, but it also has the ability to be run with just one player which is a huge plus for those of you who can't get larger groups together! I'll be incorporating the recommendations from both [Bob the World Builder](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEw_0mknTbk&list=PL1lMCvJ_l52Vo1CCdJSHw5KdTJEHtKhvF) and [Sly Flourish](https://slyflourish.com/running_icespire_peak.html) along with my own tweaks to make this one of the best experiences you can have running this Mini-Campaign! If you've used my previous notes you'll know that I take adventures such as these and do all the difficult and time-consuming book-to-session conversions so you don't have to! I do my best to include ambiance for every scene, custom battle maps, handouts when needed, spell sheets, encounter sheets, and more! This may all sound familiar, but seeing as this is a Starter/Essentials Kit, I think it's important to reiterate: * **Read the Adventure:** I know surprising, but it can be extremely confusing when you don't know where everything leads to. * **Consider the needs of your group:** As you've heard or are about to hear a million times, every table is different. If you plan on combining this with a campaign, you'll have to make tweaks here and there. * **These notes aren't meant to be the end-all-be-all:** Tweak to your heart's content, and don't consider any of what's written to be set in stone. For me having notes like this helps give me the confidence to go off the rails and follow along with what my players want. It helps me understand where things are meant to go and why. Having that understanding allows me to guide the players and create other new and interesting stories. These are all things that will come with experience, though, so don't freak out and enjoy the journey! **Without further ado:** * Google Docs Notes for Part 1 Phandalin: [DM Notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17VKeGX4DbRu25zJ1ciA2c7KZSvsJEf3FQ0FfgjyGbkI/edit?usp=sharing) * Link to: [Phandalin Playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEcQghi84jJ6z_FkOCSNml-muz6j9r9E&si=MYdKi-Za1McdNh0R) * Link to: [The AAA Collection](https://www.patreon.com/posts/dragon-of-peak-1-100437224) **Included in The AAA Collection is:** * A Word document with all my notes including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights * Custom Map of Phandalin **Over 5 dozen other Fully Prepped One-Shots, Adventures, and Campaigns:** [Click Here](https://www.patreon.com/posts/aaa-index-and-75432088) As always, if you see something you think I can improve, add, change, etc. please let me know.

Monks at level 12 decrease the fall damage they take by 70, which means they're almost guaranteed to take max 20 points by falling from more than 200 feet (99,67% chance according to [anydice](https://anydice.com)). That means level 12+ monks can jump from airships and other flying objects at basically no risk in order to infiltrate some place (especially way of shadow) or surprise their enemies. Do what you want with this knowledge.

Wotc dropped a big video today all about the upcoming edition. There's a few articles breaking down some of the information out there already.
Hi, my name is Khan and I am the person behind Devabhumi. I am of Indian origin, and I have always been interested in non-European rpg settings. There is such a treasure trove of untapped stories, monsters, and legends in Indian Culture, which can provide fresh and unique content for your campaigns. Devabhumi is a high fantasy TTRPG setting inspired by the history and epics of Ancient India. This setting features: - 100+ pages of lore - 8 new races - 20+ historical weapons and armor - 25 monsters inspired by Indian folklore And much more!

I'm looking for monster lists for Journeys through the Radiant Citadel. Like, for each of the planes in there, here's a list of appropriate monsters. It's OK if they're fan made. It's not always clear to me exactly which real-world–culture is the basis of which plane (maybe that's in the book or maybe it's supposed to be vague), but that's fine, I think these settings look awesome, but one of the main thing missing to easily expand them are encounter tables, which I could throw together if I knew like "OK, on such-and-such plane there are owlbears and stirges" or something like that. @dndnext@ttrpg.network

Sup, everyone? We are finally getting close to release and wanted to show off how you can convert your D&D Beyond character into Nurl with a single URL copy/paste. We deconstruct all the data and present it in a way that is much easier to understand for new players. For experienced players, it removes the cognitive complexity of the overwhelmingly large amount of data presented. This means your brain uses less energy reading the sheet so you can instead devote that to role playing! This is the "out of battle" sheet preview which is just a teaser on other things the app does with the character sheet data for you.

I've noticed a big gap in the Epic game session realm when it comes to good tools for enhancing the gameplay. I've seen attempts, but nothing on the level of what it could be. This past weekend, I was a part of an Epic session and validated a feature set on the app I'm building which resulted in a response of "This is perfect" from everyone that night (including the admins running the Epic). When it comes to Epics, an easy way to ensure everyone is having fun is to keep the interactivity of all groups high. Secondly, make something positive out of the negative situations. For example, there was a feature we added this weekend to which if someone failed a task, they had to donate X dollars to a charity that was the focus for the event itself. I found this was a really fun way to enhance the game play to make something positive out of negative situations. Basically, people were still having fun rather than getting upset because it resulted in philanthropy. Obviously, anyone could also donate at anytime - but you get the gist. More smiles and laughter than disgruntled faces. This is one of many examples I see that works really well. Additionally, I'm happy to announce that r/nurl will support Epic game sessions in our upcoming release which you can [read about on our blog](https://nurl.website/blog/multi-group-campaigns). If you are interested in were we are going and the vision to make playing TTRPG easy for everyone (including people on the spectrum or ADHD), you can join the waitlist and get early access to the app before we publicly launch: [https://nurl.website](https://nurl.website) I hope this brought some "inspiration" to all the DM of DM's that love hosting Epic game sessions and happy adventuring!
Welcome back to [**Advent's Amazing Advice!**](https://www.patreon.com/AdventsAmazingAdvice) The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! With Easter fast approaching, I've prepped a Bunny Day Holiday Special: From the creator of [The Night Before Wintermas](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/comments/5fijif/free_christmas_oneshot/) comes another level 5 Neutral/Evil One-Shot. Set in the same town as the original; your players will once again meet with Quentin Happyjoy who is getting into the confectionery business. Apparently, there's a lot of money in fat kids, especially when your toffee is 80% nicotine. He wants your players to cripple his competitors, House Estyr, makers of the world-famous "Chocolate Ovoids", by staging a heist on their heavily secured and fortified bank. Will your players be able to come together to sneak or smash their way through the banks' defenses and come out with [The Egg of Estyr](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/comments/65drvt/free_easter_oneshot/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)? This One-Shot has quite a lot to it. Your players will have multiple options when it comes to how they would like to tackle this heist which each leads to a very different experience. Theirs a full town to explore as well, with multiple unique vendors and magic items. I'm genuinely impressed with all there is to do! I've also improved the design of the puzzle and included a section for handouts to make this session that much more immersive! I hope your players have as wild a time as mine did! **\*Approximate time to complete** * Speed Run - 2hrs * Quiet Option 4-6hrs * Loud Option/Full Completion 6-8hrs **Without further ado:** * Google Docs Notes for The Egg of Estyr: [DM Notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zo6Dt9_a_cWMilaSbIDNKww_J12Oe7pX2t_QKmf92-s/edit?usp=sharing) * Link to: [The Egg of Estyr](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/comments/65drvt/free_easter_oneshot/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) * Link to: [The AAA Collection](https://www.patreon.com/posts/egg-of-estyr-one-79645564) **Included in The AAA Collection is:** * A Word document with all my notes including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights * Special PDF for all encounters.

Hello everyone! My name is Casey Baggz and I'm the Founder & CEO of Nurl a new app that uses advance algorithms to deconstruct the rules, player sheets (and everything else that makes TTRPGs hard for players and GMs) and presents it in a holistic and conversational way. Likewise, we also add in realtime notes & chat (similar to Notion and Slack/Discord) and combine it with an extension library so you can have all the tools you need in one magical place. I've been working hard to make sure we ship in less than 10 weeks and so far have received a perfect-score feedback from all players/gms we have user tested with ranging from 13-50 year olds who have played anywhere from "being curious" to 20 year vets. Today, the waitlist is officially open and if you join you will get access to the app before the general public. I'm currently a GM and started as a player and built Nurl because I have yet to find a good solution for a tool that helps streamline the game in an elegant way that works with IRL/hybrid sessions (i.e. it's not a VTT). As a game master, there is so much time and improve you need to have to deliver great sessions. As a player (new or experienced) character sheets and rules can be extremely overwhelming, intimidating, and confusing. Today, I can confidently say that Nurl will help remove that burden and enhance your games so you can spend more time focusing on the story vs. planning. If you are interested, you can join the waitlist at https://nurl.website
Mostly not MCDM's fault. Issues with shipping are out of their hands. But unfortunate that this arrived after I no longer play the game it's designed to be compatible with.

Hasbro lost a billion dollars this year, but D&D made a tonne of profit. And they laid off 1100 people. What I can't understand is how they're business model works. And how laying off 1100 people will allegedly save $400 million dollar (someone check my math, but does each employee cost 350k+ each?) Anyway
Welcome back to [Advent's Amazing Advice!](https://www.patreon.com/posts/delivery-witches-88192158) The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! **Delivery Witches Apply Within** is a level 3 One-Shot for 1-2 players. Inspired by **Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki** and **Kiki's Delivery Service** your player will meet a strange black cat who leads them to the Kat and Cake Bakery where they'll try to prove themselves worthy of the title Delivery Witch by delivering a set of packages. These aren't just any ordinary deliveries, throughout you'll run into a slew of interesting characters and events including a druid posing as a cat, a silver dragon, mists that try to teleport you elsewhere, and ghostly apparitions! [Brittney Hay](https://twitter.com/FNDungeonMom) has done an absolutely fantastic job creating this One-Shot. You really feel like you're in a magical lighthearted world. This One-Shot is a far cry from my usual preps, being for only 1-2 players you'll have the opportunity to really engage your players. The music is right from Kiki's Delivery Service and blends perfectly with your adventure! I couldn't be happier with how this one turned out! This One-Shot is from an anthology of One-Shots inspired by Studio Ghibli; [Eyes Unclouded](https://www.dmsguild.com/product/322733/Eyes-Unclouded), If you like this one I'm sure you'll find plenty more to fall in love with!

WoTC is partnering with FoundryVTT to enhance it's 5e game system. They will also be selling the revamped books later this year. There is no overlap with DND beyond, unfortunately. More info at FAQ below: https://foundryvtt.com/article/dungeons-dragons-arrives/#faq
First off, I really don’t care for the default 5E character sheets. I feel like there is never enough space to convey what you want and things aren’t where I would personally prefer them. I generally enjoy making my own custom character sheets, but I am about to join an in-person game as a player and I was thinking of being a bit extra about my sheet. I’ve seen some advertisements for notebooks or folios that are relatively small/lightweight but have multiple pages so there’s room for all your features and gear. When I saw these ads I didn’t pay them too much attention because I almost never play as a character and when I do, it’s never usually in person. Because of that, I do t recall what they were called or where to get them. Anyone got any suggestions for cool stuff you being to in-person games to keep track of your character? I’m not really just looking for a simple pdf of an alternative sheet, but more like physical books, notepads, dice towers/holders, or clipboards that I can bring to game night. Thanks in advance
Welcome back to **Advent's Amazing Advice!** The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! The results are in and I'm excited to announce that **Nyx and Alanna (AJ)** are the **1st and 2nd place** winners of **Advent's One-Shot Challenge!** The goal was simple, to find people who could prep in a style similar to mine so that I could work with them and expand **Advent's Amazing Advice!** I was blown away with the results and I'm proud to show you what they've come up with! **The Delian Tomb** is a Level 1 Introductory One-Shot based on Matt Colville's [first episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTD2RZz6mlo) of his Running the Game series on YouTube. This adventure begins in the backwaters of a small kingdom, it's a quiet place...most of the time. Recently, there has been an influx of goblins in the region and some of the foul creatures have even begun attacking the farms in the outskirts of the village. Your players are all friends, just traveling through, in search of adventure. It isn't long before they find themselves mixed up in the business of Goblins and pursuing a kidnapped child into the depths of a long-forgotten tomb.

Discussion with crawford concerning the playtest feedback from the most recent playtest - Everything scored really well (in the 80s for most things, monk was the highest rated, most features in the 90s, might be considered "most improved class") - revised version of the healing spells scored high - Tasha's summoning spells will be imported into the PHB - 2014 conjuration/summoning spells rework scored really well and will be kept - They are deep in internal development for the upcoming PHB - May is *not* the release date as was purported before - "We will still be working on the PHB in may" - Dwarf art from pax is not the cover for the PHB. That's from the fighter section - This was the *last* unearthed arcana for the upcoming revisions - New encounter building rules are going through a lot of rework and playtesting - Revised DMG will have a significantly streamlined encounter building system

Hey, everyone my name is **Advent**, and I run a Patreon called [**Advent's Amazing Advice!**](https://www.patreon.com/AdventsAmazingAdvice) I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc., and fully prep them for New and Busy DMs. My prep includes detailed notes, music, ambiance, maps, encounter sheets, handouts, and tweaks so you can run the best sessions with the least stress possible! I've been working on **Advent's Amazing Advice** for well over a year now! Thanks to all the support of my Patrons, I'm finally in the position where I can add someone to the team to lighten the load of prepping! With their assistance, I'll be able to expand the ways I can help everyone! In order to find the perfect person, I'm creating a contest. The rules are simple. The person who can prep a One-Shot in a style most similar to mine will be the winner. I'll be judging this based on the following: **Main Criteria** * **Formatting** (ie. How close you can match my style) * **Improvements** (includes additions; as well as flow, ease of use, etc.) * **Music Selection** (Picking the perfect tracks to match each scene) (\*Create a YouTube playlist) * **Including additional resources** (ie. maps, handouts, encounters sheets, etc.)(Be sure to properly credit) * **Packaging** (Delivering the Prep the same way I would (ie. Folder Organization)) The One-Shot that contestants will be working on will be **The Delian Tomb**. I've chosen this one because it's short, has multiple versions, and is made for beginners to D&D. How you choose to prep will allow me to see how well you can get into the mind of a new DM; ensuring they have all the tools at their disposal to run an Amazing session!!! Not only will the winner be joining the team\*, but there will be prizes! Additionally, if 2nd and 3rd place impress me enough with their quality, they might just find themselves being called up to collaborate in the future! **Prizes** * **1st - $100** and have your prep featured on Advent's Amazing Advice * **2nd - $50** * **3rd - $25** **Deadline** \- 1/15/24 If this sounds like something you're interested in, you can get started by downloading the Contest Resources by [Clicking Here](https://www.patreon.com/posts/advents-amazing-94618641) or [Here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1o-1xlKGWCUqJ7erTao1rahUNuNzNQovw?usp=drive_link). Once you've finished, you can upload your files to Google Docs and send an email with the link, as well as to the YouTube playlist that you created! **Email** \- [AdventsAmazingAdvice@gmail.com](mailto:AdventsAmazingAdvice@gmail.com) For those of you who haven't seen my work before, you'll find an example of my Into Ivy Mansion prep in the Contest Resources Pack. I've also included additional examples of my prep below. * Dragons of Stormwreck Isle - [Click Here](https://www.patreon.com/posts/dragons-of-isle-82050946) * A Most Potent Brew - [Click Here](https://www.patreon.com/posts/most-potent-brew-75594321) * Index of over 4 dozen sessions with previews - [Click Here](https://www.patreon.com/posts/aaa-index-and-75432088) **Position Info** * **Pay:** I’m offering the same amount that I charge for commissions, so $100 for each One-Shot Prepped; with up to a bonus $100 for each completed project based on how closely the person can match my style. If the person is good enough, then they’ll eventually be able to switch over to receiving a percentage of all profits from Advent’s Amazing Advice instead! Payment is via Venmo, but other ways can be worked out if needed! * **Content Production/Hours:** \- I’m looking for someone who can fully prep between 1-2 One-Shots a month, you can choose when, where, and how to complete the work! I’ll be guiding the person to match my style and be there to help with anything that pops up along the way. I can't wait to see how this turns out and I'm so excited to have the chance to be able to do something like this. Thank you all so much, without you, I could never have imagined coming this far! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask! Cheers, Advent \* Joining the team is contingent on producing high-quality content and being a person others would want to work with!
I hope everyone is having a Fantastic December! With the Holidays in full swing, I wanted to give everyone here a present, by doing all the prep work for a fantastic Holiday One-Shot for you! Then, in turn, you can gift that experience to your players! And what better gift is there for players who have been so good, than an opportunity to let loose and be evil for a change!

Booming Blade: > You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. Extra attack: > Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. I think we can agree that Booming Blade is casting a spell (a cantrip). Obviously I can't use Booming Blade twice. But does the fact that it's a spell that makes a melee weapon attack count as "taking the attack action"? In other words - if I cast Booming Blade, am I locked out of Extra Attack because I took a "Cast a Spell" action instead of an "Attack" action? Or do I still get an extra attack because casting the spell made me take the Attack action?
